Puppet Waddle Dee[Japanese title] is alarge enemy that debuted inKirby's Return to Dream Land. It is a paper-like puppet resembling a largeWaddle Dee, which is controlled by three regular Waddle Dees underneath. This outer shell gives the Waddle Dees moredurability. It attacks by moving slowly towardKirby and hitting him by contact, or by holding still and blocking off a walkway. When defeated normally, the costume explodes and the three Waddle Dees go flying, returning to regular enemies who will then proceed to waddle about as usual once they collect themselves, although it can be swallowed whole usingSuper Inhale. A robotic, more formidable (albeit slower) variation of Puppet Waddle Dee is theArmor Waddle Dee, which a variant of acts as a replacement for Puppet Waddle Dee inHalcandra. InKirby Star Allies, Puppet Waddle Dee is weak againstFire/Sizzle-based attacks, burning up immediately and defeating the three Waddle Dees inside instantly.
The costume is quickly given away, as the craftsmanship is shoddy, with seams, stitches, and tape visible on the outside. Balls connected to sticks poke out of each side to appear as its arms, and four feet can be seen below, belonging to two out of the three Waddle Dees inside. The eyes on the puppet are holes, presumably allowing the third Waddle Dee to see out of the costume.
