This article is about the spear-wielding variants fromKirby Battle Royale. For Waddle Dees in general, seeWaddle Dee.

Soldier Waddle Dees (referred to as simplySoldiers during battle) are non-playable combatants fromKirby Battle Royale. They appear in the story mode -Dedede's Cake Royale - and serve the king. In battles, they wield aSpear, and can come in several different colors, like the playableWaddle Dee who uses aParasol. Several can be seen around the palace in the story mode, guarding entrances and guardingKing Dedede.

Kirby has to face off against Soldier Waddle Dees in several instances. The first is when he andBandana Waddle Dee are trying to gain entrance to the tournament. A soldier challenges Kirby to a game ofApple Scramble to qualify, which also serves as a tutorial round. From there, two soldiers will later need to be faced in the Bronze League Qualifiers. The last time they are faced is when two of them team up with King Dedede during the surprise 1-on-3 Battle Arena match near the end of the Platinum League.

Characteristics[edit]

Soldier Waddle Dees resembleSpear Waddle Dees from previous titles, but are distinguished by their fancy guardsman's hats, and their seemingly eternally dour expressions (though this may just be an appearance put on by the brow of the hat).

In theKirby novel series[edit]

In theKirby novel series, Soldier Waddle Dees make an appearance inKirby's Decisive Battle! Battle Royale!!. A Solider Waddle Dee guards the gate of the Battle Castle and onceKirby sees him, he is shocked by his similarity toWaddle Dee. When Kirby approaches him, the Soldier Waddle Dee tells him that the only ones who can pass are those ready for a battle and challenges him to a match ofApple Scramble. While Kirby needs to gather apples fromWhispy Woods, the Soldier Waddle Dee gathers them from a regular tree. He shakes the tree and piles up all the apples. When the time for the match is over, it is revealed that the Soldier Waddle Dee gathered less apples and thus lost. After the match, the Soldier Waddle Dee lets Kirby and Waddle Dee pass the gate. Later, a Soldier Waddle Dee guards the elevator to the top floor, not letting Bandana Waddle Dee in. It was later revealed thatCron gave the Soldier Waddle Dee sleeping medication to let Waddle Dee sneak past.

Quotes[edit]

Trivia[edit]

• While several of the soldiers are indeed loyal to King Dedede, some of them are (whether openly or not) rooting for Kirby instead.
• The view on Soldier Waddle Dees seems to differ between the common Waddle Dees. The Waddle Dee at the start of the game states that "the guard ahead scares [him]", another one says he thinks the soldiers aren't working at all and another one says he looks up to them and wishes to become a soldier when he grows up.
