Dedede of the Stars

Dedede of the Stars is a platforming game in the Kirby franchise, released for the Nintendo Switch. Despite being in the Kirby franchise, the game does not revolve around Kirby himself, but rather King Dedede. In this game, Kirby is kidnapped by a seductive sorceress, and Dedede takes it upon himself to bring him back.
==Story==
The game opens up to a bright and sunny day, and everybody's having fun. King Dedede, Kirby, and Bandana Dee are playing a game of hide and seek, when suddenly, Bandana Dee notices a ship crashed near a tree. Kirby immediately checks to see what happened, only to be grabbed and thrown into a cage. Dedede panics, and challenges this mysterious figure to a fight, with Bandana Dee in tow. The two are defeated, and are launched into the distance while the figure runs off with Kirby. Dedede, still determined to take her down and rescue Kirby, runs off on his quest, with Bandana Dee unwillingly following him. 
==Gameplay==
In Dedede of the Stars, you play as the self-proclaimed king of Dreamland, King Dedede. Dedede is able to defeat his enemies by inhaling them or whacking them with his hammer. When he inhales an enemy, he can either swallow his foe or shoot it out as a star. If he swallows certain enemies, he'll gain a copy ability that will enhance his hammer and make him a little stronger. When Dedede uses his hammer, he delivers powerful blows that can take out almost all regular enemies in a single smack. If Dedede can't defeat an enemy, he can jump or float over it. In addition, Dedede can summon Waddle Dees to help him on his quest either as a distraction, projectiles, or helpers if he takes out enough enemies with his hammer. However, he can only do this once per level. At the final level of each world, Dedede has to take down a boss after getting through the normal portion of the level. If he defeats the boss, he can move on to the next world. In addition, Dedede has a health bar which the player needs to keep an eye on. If it runs out, Dedede loses a life. When he loses all of his lives, you get a game over. The health bar can be fully restored by picking up a Maxim Tomato.
