Dedede Gogogo is aSub-Game available exclusively inKirby's Extra Epic Yarn starringKing Dedede.

Gameplay[edit]

Dedede Gogogo tasks him with moving through a fast-paced course as quickly as possible while collectingFuse Beads and Luminas, defeating enemies, and avoiding hazards. There are four stages in total, each based on a stage from the main game, and each with its own unique obstacles to contend with. Each course gives King Dedede one minute and 30 seconds to reach the end. Running out of time will force Dedede to retire.

Enemies and obstacles[edit]

There are several different varieties of enemies and obstacles to contend with on the courses. Enemies are mostly harmless, but they will only drop beads if they are defeated using the hammer or a Head Slide, as merely colliding with them will cause them to drop nothing. Beads can also be obtained by striking bells with the hammer and breaking open Star Bead Blocks with an attack. Enemies and hazards in Dedede Gogogo are as follows:

• Red Buttonbee: Hovers through the air and will damage Dedede if he collides with its stinger.
• Sneak Sack: Generally stands still until Dedede approaches, then will attempt to run away, dropping beads as it does so. It may also be seen running toward Dedede.
• Yarn mole: Pops out of the ground at various places. Dedede can pass through this enemy unharmed, and needs to hit it to interact with it.
• Boom Block: If King Dedede collides with this block, he will be blown back and lose 50 beads. This is best avoided.

Other obstacles include Cloth Blocks, Denim Blocks, moving platforms, bodies of water, oil slicks, andcannons. Interacting with some of these will cause beads to appear, or may merely allow Dedede to reach otherwise inaccessible areas with beads.

Scoring[edit]

The number of beads that each enemy and object awards can vary based on circumstances, but generally speaking, enemies and objects are worth the following when dealt with correctly:

• Star Bead Blocks are worth 5 points when struck.
• All enemies are worth 15 beads when defeated (not counting beads dropped when running or being sent flying).
• Bells are worth 20 beads when struck.
• The goal bell is worth 100 beads when struck.

Luminas collected are not added to the main bead counter, instead being tracked separately.

At the end of a course, the player will be given a score and a rank depending on how many points were earned.

• Each Fuse Bead collected is worth one point.
• Luminas are worth 50 points each.
• Each whole second remaining is worth 10 points.

It is also possible to obtainFuse Bead Mats in this game. One is awarded for each rank level earned, for a total of four per stage.

Controls[edit]

While moving, King Dedede has access to four different techniques to help him move through the course. These are as follows:
