Waddle Doo (ワドルドゥ,Waddle Doo) is a common enemy from theKirby series, being a stronger variety of theWaddle Dee.
Origin[edit]
Waddle Doos debuted as enemies inKirby's Dream Land and made several appearances in later games. They attack with an energy whip, exactly like the one they use inSmash, and giveKirby theBeam ability when swallowed.
InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl[edit]
Waddle Doos can be thrown byKing Dedede'sside special move attack,Waddle Dee Toss, and also appear in hisFinal Smash, theWaddle Dee Army.
A Waddle Doo is the second most common enemy thrown when Waddle Dee Toss is used, with the most common being a Waddle Dee and the rarest being aGordo. The Waddle Dee:Waddle Doo:Gordo ratio is 35:10:4, meaning a Waddle Doo has a 20.4% chance of being thrown. When the Waddle Doo's body hits a target, it will dealslash damage. After being thrown, a Waddle Doo will walk forward and periodically use its beam attack, damaging any opponent caught in the beam as much as 27%. The beam's hitbox belongs to King Dedede. After it has used its beam attack three times, it will disappear.
When a Waddle Doo appears during theWaddle Dee Army, it falls and then runs across the stage in one direction, dealingelectric damage (like its beam attack) to any opponent in its path for decent damage and knockback.
Unlike in theKirby games, Kirby gains no ability when he swallows a Waddle Doo.
Beta elements[edit]
Hacking in the enemies file package of theBrawl disc has revealed data that appears to have been made for Waddle Doo, suggesting that it was planned to be included in theSubspace Emissary as an enemy.
Trophy[edit]
- Waddle Doo
- A creature identified by a single, unblinking eye. Like Waddle Dees, Waddle Doos roam about Dream Land and sometimes use parasols. Unlike their counterparts, though, they hate being approached--they'll fire a beam of energy at anyone who nears them, so don't think they're harmless like Waddle Dees. If Kirby swallows one, he copies the Beam ability and gains a jester's hat.

InSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS[edit]
InSmash Run[edit]
Much likeWaddle Dees, Waddle Doos are no longer part of King Dedede's moveset. However, they appear in theSmash Run mode ofSuper Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS as standard enemies, keeping their old behavior. Their beams can be nullified by reflectors, as well asGravitational Pull, but they cannot be absorbed.
Waddle Doos also appear as part of theKirby-themedVs. Enemy Team final battle.
Trophy[edit]
- Waddle Doo
- Two big eyelashes for one big eye? You're describing this beam-firing enemy from the Kirby series. This enemy may hop toward a fighter it spots and unleash an energy attack. The attack itself has a short range, but it can happen repeatedly and can stun. Unlike Waddle Dees, these guys will fight!
- These one-eyed, two-haired guys from the Kirby series are hungry for battle. When one spots you, it'll close in slowly with the occasional hop. Then it'll attack with its Beam Whip, which doesn't really have a lot of range, but can shock and hit you repeatedly. Ahhh... If only they were more like Waddle Dees...
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
Spirit[edit]
Waddle Doo appears as aprimary spirit. InAdventure Mode: World of Light, its spirit is located in theMysterious Dimension sub-dungeon ofThe Dark Realm. Prior to its battle, the player is asked which spirits are enemies that Kirby cannotInhale, and Waddle Doo is one of the wrong choices.
Its Spirit Battle uses a team of three redKirby puppet fighters and is fought onDream Land. The stage's floor is electrified and the Kirbys wieldSuper Scopes, referencing Waddle Doo's electric beam ability.
