| “ | This Dedede double is made of powerful psychic energy. It's an illusion of the king based on memories of his embarrassing turn under ID-F86's control, forced to work for Leongar and capture Elfilin. It has no memory of Kirby or the adventures they've shared... It's little more than a haughty, hollow husk. | ” | — Figure description fromKirby and the Forgotten Land |
Phantom King Dedede, titledHis Illusory Nemesis, is a more powerful illusory form ofKing Dedede which appears as theboss ofForgo Horns inKirby and the Forgotten Land and itsNintendo Switch 2 Edition, and can also be fought in The Ultimate Cup Z and The Ultimate Cup Z EX in theColosseum. Phantom King 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.
Attacks[edit]
Phantom King 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 King Dedede, having 1,700 HP inForgo Horns and 1,190 HP inThe Ultimate Cup Z. It transitions to the second phase once its HP reaches 50% of its maximum or lower, and takes 0.2X damage during phase transitions.[1] Phantom King Dedede is accompanied by sixPrimal Awoofies at the start of the battle, all of which are ordered to immediately rush Kirby as soon as the battle begins.
The following are all of Phantom King Dedede's attacks (attack names are from theKirby and the Forgotten Land Perfect Support Guide).
| Phantom King Dedede's attacks inKirby and the Forgotten Land | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Attack | Description | Variants | ||
| ゴルドーノック Gordo Knock | Phantom King Dedede throws threeGordos at Kirby in a line by batting them with its hammer. This variant opens battle in Forgo Horns and The Ultimate Cup Z. | Phantom King Dedede may instead throw the Gordos out around itself in preparation for a series of Super Dedede Jumps. This variant opens battle in The Ultimate Cup Z EX. | ||
| ヘッドスライディング Head Slide | Phantom King Dedede runs after Kirby and dives at him, producing two Dropped Stars on impact. It does this three times in quick succession. | |||
| ハンマーたたき Hammer | Phantom King Dedede approaches Kirby with its hammer and, once close enough, slams down, creating aDropped Star on impact. It alternates between this and Dedede Swing five total times. | |||
| デデデスイング Dedede Swing | Phantom King Dedede approaches Kirby with its hammer and, once close enough, spins around laterally, creating aDropped Star after the swing. It alternates between this and Hammer five total times. | |||
| スーパーデデデジャンプ Super Dedede Jump | Phantom King Dedede makes a great leap into the air, then falls down, producing a shockwave on landing and causing a ring of Dropped Stars to appear around it. It may use this move up to three times in succession, with the last jump being a very high spinning one. | If Gordos were batted onto the ground prior to this attack, the Gordos will produce shockwaves of their own if hit by Phantom King Dedede's own shockwaves. The shockwave from the third jump forcefully removes any Gordos on the ground out of the arena. | ||
| Second phase only | ||||
| ゴルンバーノック Gordo Bar Knock | Phantom King Dedede leaps over to a high ledge and throws threeGordo Bars at Kirby which roll across the arena. After throwing the Gordo Bars, the phantom grabs a pillar and then jumps back into the arena, either attacking with End of Ice Age or a Super Dedede Jump. | |||
| エンド オブ アイスエイジ End of Ice Age | Phantom King Dedede slams the ground hard with its pillar, creating a fissure that spreads out from the impact and erupts with ice. The area of the eruption produces a slippery icy floor the very first time this attack is used. | For subsequent uses of this attack, Phantom King Dedede's swings target Kirby's current position as it slams the pillar down. It is also always performed twice in a row from this point forward. | ||
| NEW WORLDディザスター NEW WORLD Disaster | Phantom King Dedede attacks with its pillar, slamming the ground and creating lots of Dropped Stars. This repeats five times, alternating between vertical and horizontal. | |||
| NEW WORLDアタック NEW WORLD Attack | Phantom King Dedede attacks with its pillar, slamming the ground eight times in a row, producing Dropped Stars with each hit. After the last hit, Phantom King Dedede's pillar breaks and it jumps in the background to throw more Gordo Bars and get another pillar. | |||
