This page is about regular Waddle Dee enemies and variations in the games. For the anime version, see Waddle Dee (Anime). For the specific Waddle Dee in Kirby 64, see Waddle Dee (64).

Waddle Dee are the most common regular enemy type in Kirby's game series.

They look similar to Kirby himself, with a mostly round shape, and stubby arms and feet. But Waddle Dee have no visible mouth, and their face is always a tan color. (The main part of their body varies, but the most common color is red. They also come in green, yellow, and other colors.

Waddle Dee have no attacks. They basically just walk or run on the ground, sometimes seeming to mind their own business, but other times they seem to try to run into Kirby intentionally. Usually they'll stay out of his way.

For the most part, Waddle Dees are unchanged from game to game. Only in a few cases do they do anything special.

Games

Kirby's Avalanche

Waddle Dee is the first opponent Kirby faces in the tournament.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

A friendly Waddle Dee helps out Kirby in this game. See: Waddle Dee (64)

Kirby Canvas Curse

Waddle Dee appears as an enemy, but also has its only appearance as a playable character in this game. After the game is beaten once with Kirby, the Waddle Dee Ball is unlocked.

The Waddle Dee Ball is weaker than Kirby and much lighter, and cannot use any Copy Abilities. It can at least use the basic dash attack however.

Sub-Types

Parasol Waddle Dee

The second most common form of Waddle Dee. It's just a Waddle Dee holding a parasol- and Kirby can get the Parasol ability if he inhales one.

Fluff Waddle Dee

Similar to Parasol Waddle Dee, except they float down while carrying large dandelion fluffs. They only appear in Kirby Canvas Curse, and unlike their Parasol cousins, they don't give any ability.

Arena Waddle Dee

A special version that only appears in the Arena game in Kirby Super Star must be battled for one of the rounds. It does nothing but move forward slowly, possessing no attacks. It has much more life than a regular enemy; however, it can be inhaled and get instantly defeated.

Drawn Waddle Dee

The boss Paint Roller will sometimes illustrate a single Waddle Dee that will come to life and run away.

Cart Waddle Dee

In Kirby Air Ride, some Waddle Dees ride around on the track in little carts.

Spear Waddle Dee

Appearing only in Kirby Canvas Curse, these Waddle Dees wield sharp spears they throw at Kirby. It seems to be a reference to the anime series.
