Game appearances[edit]

Kirby Super Star /Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]

Sailor Waddle Dee first appears inKirby Super Star andKirby Super Star Ultra, where they are one of the characters exchanging dialogue with the others during gameplay inRevenge of Meta Knight. Their role is more introspective, in contrast with the other characters trying to stop Kirby from boarding and destroying the Halberd. They are sometimes absent-minded, such as when they accidentally reveal the secret to destroying theReactor.

Sailor Waddle Dee is not seen in the stages proper. Additionally, they have the least amount of dialogue of theHalberd crew. However, they are the last one to stay when the otherMeta-Knights abandon ship; they were the only witness toMeta Knight's duel with Kirby. While their fate is unclear, it is presumed that they safely escaped before the Halberd sank into the ocean.

Sailor Waddle Dee reappears inKirby Mass Attack, where they make a cameo in theMeta Knight battle of theStrato Patrol EOS sub-game. They are seen cheering for him alongsideBandana Waddle Dee.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

InKirby's Dream Buffet, Sailor Waddle Dee appears on one of the game'sCharacter Treats, using their artwork fromKirby Super Star Ultra.

In theKirby novel series[edit]

Unlike the rest of theHalberd's crew, Sailor Waddle Dee did not initially appear in theKirby novel series at all. This is becauseWaddle Dee is established as an individual character in the novels' universe. After theKirby Printer makes copies of him inKirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!,Waddle Dees become a species, and other distinguished Waddle Dees appear, such asSoldier Waddle Dee and theWaddle Dee Report Crew, albeit rarely at first. AfterKirby and the Forgotten Land: Start Running to the New World!, even more distinguished Waddle Dees appear, includingWise Waddle Dee andPainting Waddle Dee. Even then, Sailor Waddle Dee had yet to make any proper appearances.

However, Sailor Waddle Dee was finally introduced inKirby: Meta Knight and the Monster of the Magic Stone. In it, a Waddle Dee initially known as "Adventure Waddle Dee" (named after their love for adventure stories) plays a key role in the story, being invested in the adventure happening during the course of the novel. Their fascination with adventure drives a good part of the story, and in particular they create a plan that is critical to the defeat ofKing Flotzo. At the end of the novel,King Dedede notices they are still yearning for adventures and, knowingDream Land is a pretty peaceful place, he fires Adventure Waddle Dee from theWaddle Dee group, and brings them toMeta Knight, who accepts to recruit them to his crew, liking the hard work he saw them do previously. The day after, King Dedede,Bandana Waddle Dee and the other Waddle Dees bid them farewell, and give them a sailor's cap, which they put on. When boarding the Halberd and officially joining his crew, Meta Knight names them "Sailor Waddle Dee".

Sailor Waddle Dee is briefly mentioned inKirby: Snowy Mountain Nights are Eventful!: after joining the Halberd crew, they end up indirectly making all Meta-Knights and Vul sick due to the crew eating too much in their usual tea parties. Sailor Waddle Dee was left in the Halberd to take care of the others, while Meta Knight went to join Kirby and company in the snowy mountains.
