デデデ大王
King Dedede also appears in several spin-off games in the series. He appears as the final boss in "Kirby's Pinball Land" (1993). In "Kirby's Avalanche" (1995), Dedede appears as the final opponent. He appears as the single boss in "Kirby's Dream Course" (1995), along with a robotic version of himself. In "Kirby's Block Ball" (1996), he is a hidden final boss. In "Kirby's Star Stacker" (1997), Dedede appears to antagonize Kirby during the "Round Clear" sub-game, in which Kirby has to completely deplete his hit points in order to move on to the next stage. Additionally, there was a version of the game released only in Japan in 1998 which featured him as the final boss in a short story mode. He is an unlockable character in "Kirby Air Ride" (2003) and "Kirby Canvas Curse" (2005). King Dedede is a boss in "Kirby's Epic Yarn" (2010) and "Kirby Mass Attack" (2011). Although he is absent from the main story, King Dedede appears in "Kirby and the Rainbow Curse" (2015) as a collectible figurine. The game is also compatible with the King Dedede amiibo, which Kirby can use for a temporary increase in health. In "Kirby's Blowout Blast" (2016), although no story is present, he appears as the final boss. Masked Dedede appears as the secret final boss, after completing the game with all Gold trophies.
