This article is about the robot boss fromKirby's Dream Course. For other robots designed after or owned by King Dedede, seeRobo Dedede.

Robo Dedede^[1] is the final boss ofKirby's Dream Course, taking the form of a giant mechanical replica ofKing Dedede which the king himself pilots from inside. The robot is covered in rivets and slots, has a clamp for a left hand and drill for a right hand, is capable of slow forward locomotion using its feet, and can call forth smaller Dedede robots to trip Kirby up.

InKirby's Dream Course, Robo Dedede serves as the game's one and only boss, being faced as its own distinct course after completing the prior eight. Robo Dedede is brought in byits pilot once Kirby enters the arena, and begins marching toward his location. As the fight progresses, Robo Dedede will release small clockwork Dedede robots calledChibi Dedede^{[Japanese title]} that will try to approach Kirby and then explode near him, which will immediately cause Kirby to lose a life. Kirby can stop them by slamming into them before they explode, or can dodge them by shooting forward at the right moment. If Robo Dedede reaches Kirby's starting position, he will be defeated and handed aGame Over, regardless of how many lives Kirby had remaining.

To combat Robo Dedede, Kirby can launch himself at the mechanical menace to knock it back, whereupon Kirby will automatically be returned to his starting position. In this particular instance, Kirby always launches at maximum power. Both grounder and flying shots can be used to knock Robo Dedede back, but only flying shots to the head will deal damage, causing the robot to turn slightly redder with each successful hit. Robo Dedede will be defeated after four successful strikes, forcing King Dedede to flee the scene and completingKirby's Dream Course.

It is not actually necessary to defeat Robo Dedede to unlock any of the game's secrets, because there are no medals tied to it. The player can simply reset to keep playing the other courses. Nonetheless, defeating it is the only way to view the game's ending and credits.

In theExtra Game, Robo Dedede has more health, now requiring eight good hits to defeat.
