Waddle Dee

Waddle Dees (, Waddle Dee) are the main inhabitants of Dream Land. They make various appearances in the series. Many of the Waddle Dees are also affiliated with King Dedede, and are the most common regular enemy in the series.
==Origin==
Waddle Dees first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land and started appearing in just about every game after that. They have no true form of attacking: they just walk around and sometimes leap into the air. However, they damage Kirby on contact. Because they're so weak, most Waddle Dees stay out of Kirby's way and just walk around peacefully.
For the most part, Waddle Dees behave the same way in each game. However, many variations of the species exist, such as Waddle Doos. In some cases, Waddle Dee exists as a playable character as well, such as , an ally to Kirby in several games.
==In Super Smash Bros. Melee==
A Waddle Dee appears as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

==In Super Smash Bros. Brawl==
Waddle Dees are the standard projectile used in 's side special move, Waddle Dee Toss, and in his Final Smash, Waddle Dee Army. After being thrown, they "waddle" across the stage, and will do one of three things while they walk: trip in place, stumble forward, or jump. Its jump attack deals a small amount of damage and moderate knockback, similar to when a thrown Waddle Dee hits an opponent.
During King Dedede's Final Smash, Waddle Dee Army, Waddle Dees will fall then quickly run across the stage, knocking any opponent in their path in the direction that they were running.
In the Subspace Emissary, Waddle Dees appear in the last scene of The Battlefield Fortress, where is frightened by their presence. Suddenly, Luigi is attacked from behind by King Dedede, making him become a trophy. King Dedede places Luigi on the road as a bait for , who is coming down the road. Wario is ambushed by several Waddle Dees while Dedede steals his Cargo and the trophies. Unused data implies that Waddle Dees were also once planned to be an enemy in The Subspace Emissary, but were cut for unknown reasons.https://tcrf.net/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl#References_to_Cut_Enemies
Four Waddle Dees carry King Dedede on a palanquin during his entrance, and one of them stands in front of him in one of his victory poses.
===Unused enemy===
Hacking in the enemies file package of the Brawl disc has revealed data that appears to have been made for Waddle Dee, suggesting that it was planned to be included in the Subspace Emissary as an enemy.

Their only appearance with King Dedede is his on-screen appearance, and in one of his victory poses. A Waddle Dee pattern is also embroidered on King Dedede's clothes in his green alternate costume.

==In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate==
