King Dedede
In 2007, IGN correctly speculated that King Dedede could appear in a subsequent "Super Smash Bros." game, since he "is the classic recurring villain of the "Kirby" franchise", and his creator, Masahiro Sakurai, is also the game director. UGO Networks remarked that he is "cool" because "he's a hammer-wielding, glove-wearing evil penguin." They also listed the fight against King Dedede in "Kirby's Dream Land" as the seventh hardest boss battle in video games in their "Top 50". King Dedede has been cited by Yahoo! Voices as one of the top five characters in "Super Smash Bros. Brawl". Jeremy Parish of Polygon ranked 73 fighters from "Super Smash Bros. Ultimate" "from garbage to glorious", listing King Dedede as 50th.
