This article is about Dedede Robo as it specifically pertains toKing Dedede. For the very similar-looking robot fromKirby's Return to Dream Land, seeHR-D3.

This article is about the robot in Kirby Quest, and should not be confused withRobo Dedede.

Dedede Robo^{[Japanese title]} is a large pilotable robot that belongs toKing Dedede. In theKirby video game series, it only formally appears as the final opponent of Chapter 2 ofKirby Quest, aSub-Game inKirby Mass Attack, though it was originally planned to appear as a boss in the canceledKirby for Nintendo GameCube.

Dedede Robo is large and bulky, painted after the color of King Dedede's crown and robe. Its right hand is replaced with a large drill, and it has no legs or feet, moving around by flying through the air. Inside the head is a seat which Dedede can use to control the robot, though it can also act autonomously. It contains a large laser cannon inside its head as well, and bears King Dedede's insignia on its chest casing.

A repainted and re-tooled version of this robot would later appear inKirby's Return to Dream Land, under the moniker ofHR-D3 and owned byMetal General EX. Many fans initially thought HR-D3 and Dedede Robo were one and the same, but supplementary materials such as theDedede Directory feature on theKirby JP Twitter confirm them to be separate (image ingallery below).
