| “ | Forgo Dedede was formed when Leongar gave the already-controlled king a mask to further cloud his mind. He was then tasked with guarding the only entrance to Lab Discovera. This phantom copy, based on memories of his terrifying turn, is somehow even stronger and more dangerous than the original! | ” | — Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Phantom Forgo Dedede, titledIllusory Primal Nemesis, is a more powerful illusory form ofForgo Dedede which appears as theboss ofForgo Zone inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition, and is also one of the Four Warriors fought in theColosseum; appearing in both The Ultimate Cup Z and The Ultimate Cup Z EX. Phantom Forgo Dedede looks and fights largely the same as its real counterpart, but has a different color scheme, now sporting teal skin with a purple coat with cyan fluff and magenta feathers and belt, and eyes that match those ofFecto Forgo in its "Invasive Species" form. The color of its mask also matches this general color scheme.
Attacks[edit]
Phantom Forgo Dedede has all of the same attacks as its normal counterpart, but it attacks significantly faster and some of its attacks have new properties. It also has a few new attacks, and has morehealth than Forgo Dedede, having 960 HP in phase 1 and 1,080 HP in phase 2 when fought inForgo Zone and 640 HP in phase 1 and 720 HP in phase 2 when fought in The Ultimate Cup Z at theColosseum. It takes 0.2X damage during phase transitions and transitions to the second phase once its first phase health bar hits 12 HP in Forgo Zone or 8 HP in The Ultimate Cup Z.[1] Unlike in the main story, many of Phantom Forgo Dedede's attacks cause the arena to tilt or partially sink into the lava.
The following lists all of Phantom Forgo Dedede's attacks (attack names are from theKirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide).

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | Description | Variants | Notes | |

| ワイルドスタンプ Wild Stamp | Phantom Forgo Dedede jumps three times and slams the ground hard with its hammers each time, creating pillars of flame that weakly home in on Kirby and leave Dropped Stars behind when they dissipate.

| ワイルドハンマーブーメラン Wild Hammer Boomerang | Phantom Forgo Dedede throws its hammers in a twirling motion and they proceed to spin around the arena in curved paths. | |||
