— Tougher Quest description inTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe

King Doo is amid-boss debuting inKirby's Return to Dream Land. He is a large yellowWaddle Doo with a pronounced tuft of hair and shoes with tips that point upward.

As expected from a Waddle Doo, he can use a beam whip attack, which appears essentially identical to a regular Waddle Doo's (though obviously much larger) which he can also use in the air after a jump. King Doo also has the Wave Beam ability, firing a large blast of energy sideways across the field. He also has one non-beam attack, which involves simply charging across the screen. Once defeated, King Doo can be inhaled for theBeam ability.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land /Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

King Doo debuts inKirby's Return to Dream Land as amid-boss, behaving like a normal Waddle Doo but with additional moves such as charging atKirby and using a Beam Whip midair. InExtra Mode, King Doo gains off-white skin and a deep red eye reminiscent ofZero's. In this form he gains the ability to turn while attacking in midair, as well as the ability to fire up to three Wave Beams in succession. He also gains an attack similar to the Beam Blast, jumping and firing several medium-sized shots diagonally downwards.

He may be getting sand in his eye, but that's not going to stop him coming for you!

Trivia[edit]

  • InKirby's Return to Dream Land andKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, the internal filename for King Doo is called "Beholdoo", which is a play on "Beholder". InKirby: Planet Robobot onwards, the file is renamed "Kingsdoo", which is closer to the final name.
