Waddle Dee

Waddle Dees are a species in the Kirby franchise. They are similar to Goombas, in that they are the most common and weakest enemies to come across. Waddle Dees' first Super Smash Bros.-related appearance is in Super Smash Bros. Melee, in which they make a cameo as a trophy.

Since his fighter debut in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, King Dedede's entrance shows four Waddle Dees carrying his throne on the stage.

Super Smash Bros.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Waddle Dees are featured in one of King Dedede's attacks, Waddle Dee Toss, in which King Dedede tosses a Waddle Dee at his opponent, and after it hits, the Waddle Dees continue to walk around the stage. Their relative, Waddle Doos, may also appear during this attack. This attack was removed in subsequent Super Smash Bros. titles.

Two Waddle Dee stickers appear in the game, and they depict its normal and ball form respectively. One of them depicts its artwork from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. The other sticker is titled Waddle Dee Ball, and it shows its Kirby: Canvas Curse artwork, which depicts Waddle Dee in its ball form.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
In Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, both Waddle Dees and Parasol Waddle Dees appear as enemies in Smash Run. When a Parasol Waddle Dee drops its parasol, it falls to the ground and becomes a regular Waddle Dee.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, there is a spirit of Waddle Dee.
