Waddle Dee Jr., commonly referred as Waddle Dee most of the time, is one of the seven main characters in the Kirby: Behind the Scenes series. He is one of the six main characters in the first installment, along with Dedede, Waddle Doo, Cloud, Raven and Drawcia (who was a antagonist at the time). He and Dedede are the first characters introduced in the series, appearing the the very first scene of Kirby: Behind the Scenes.

Waddle Dee Jr. is also the Royal Commander of the Dream Land Royal Army, meaning that he has the second-highest level of authority in said army and he is also the chef of Castle Dedede.

Though Waddle Dee Jr. is his own character, he is the Kirby: Behind the Scenes series' incarnation of Bandana Waddle Dee.

Appearance[]

Main Article: Waddle Dee Jr./Gallery
Waddle Dee Jr. is a red colored Waddle Dee that has a pear shaped, peach-colored face with red cheek blushes and his feet are the same peach color as his face. From Chapter 1 to 8, he had one scar down his right eye from a battle with Meta Knight, which was a accident. Unlike Bandana Dee, Waddle Dee Jr. wears a white headband around his head. 2 years before the series began, Waddle Dee Jr. looked the same as he did at the beginning of the series minus the scar on his right eye.

During Chapter 8, Vincent slashed across his eye, giving him another scar and blinding his right eye and within the same chapter, he had his right arm torn off by Damozoph and it was replaced with a three-clawed, prosthetic arm by both Waddle Doo and Waddlesworth in Chapter 9 and his blinded right eye was replaced with an eye from a Waddle Dee who was a organ donator that died sometime during the said Chapter. This prosthetic arm has two fingers and a thumb, which Waddle Dee Jr. uses for both grabbing objects and making hand gestures.

For bed, Waddle Dee wears a red nightcap with a yellow rim and a yellow fluff ball on the tip.

As a kid, Waddle Dee looked much like he does now except that he was smaller, he doesn't have his scars and his right prosthetic arm as well as that he wore a orange bandana on his head.

Personality[]

Waddle Dee Jr. is nice and kind person much like his fellow Dream Warriors and he is brave much like them as well as he is seen showing a lot of courage during dangerous situations. Like the other Dream Warriors, Waddle Dee Jr. cares much about his friends and loved ones and he will get slightly enraged if they are harmed in some way. One of Waddle Dee Jr.'s most noticeable trait is that he tends to make puns quite often, much to Waddle Doo's slight annoyance at times. The puns that Waddle Dee Jr. makes are usually ones that are obvious or ones relating to cooking.

Waddle Dee Jr. also has a bit of a Napoleon complex as he doesn't like hearing remarks about his height but he responds to them in a sarcastic manner.

Abilities[]

As a Waddle Dee, Waddle Dee Jr. has a decent level of physical strength and fast foot speed but due to that he and Dedede often did sparring matches during the 3 years before the series, Waddle Dee Jr. has a bit more physical strength than the average Waddle Dee does. Waddle Dee Jr. is shown to be a good swordsman with decent skill. Chapters 5 and 7 show that Waddle Dee Jr. has decent aim and skill with his Shotzo Rifle, able to shoot a decent distance away though he has to squint a bit before shooting.

In Chapter 3, Dedede found his family's treasure, the Element Gem. This gem allows him to gain powers from elements it absorbs but it is so far seen only effecting his sword swings. The Element Gem isn't used much, as Waddle Dee Jr. prefers to rely on his own fighting skills instead.

Chapter 8 revealed that Waddle Dee Jr. is also a good cook much like his father, as it was shown that he cooked a meal for the other Dream Warriors during their downtime before Kyle and his group broke in to start another fight due to Damozoph.

Weapons[]

  • Dawnbreaker
    Debut: Chapter 1
    This is the first sword Waddle Dee is seen using in the series and it resembles a dagger but it has a longer blade and thus making it more like a sword. This sword was also once used by his father, Waddle Dee Sr., during his time as the Royal Commander back when Derin was still alive. Waddle Dee uses it from Chapter 1 until Chapter 8.
  • Shotzo Rifle
    Debut: Chapter 5
    Waddle Dee Jr. owns a Shotzo Rifle but he doesn't use it for combat purposes as he instead uses it to scare away Croucars from Castle Dedede. He originally owned another one but it broke sometime before Chapter 5 and this one was replaced by the one he has now, which was given to Waddle Dee Jr. by Dedede.
  • Inferno Tantō
    Debut: Chapter 9
    Waddle Dee is given this weapon by Rachel from Carl, Rachel's father. It closely resembles the sword that Waddle Dee was using before but it lacks a stabbing tip, meaning that it can only cut instead. It is now his signature weapon along with the Fire Mystic Gem.
  • Prosthetic arm
    Debut: Chapter 9
    Though the prosthetic arm's main purpose was to replace the arm that Waddle Dee Jr. lost in Chapter 8, the fingers of the prosthetic arm are sharp and they can be used at close range to slash enemies.

Fire Mystic Gem[]

Red Carpet

Waddle Dee Jr. using the Fire Mystic Gem's power to burn up the Mumbies that Drawcia created to attack Castle Dedede with.

Main Article: Fire Mystic Gem
Waddle Dee has fire powers, first seen in Chapter 2 and he got this from a mysterious gem that he accidentally consumed as a child during a game of hide and seek. The gem gave Waddle Dee Jr. the ability to create fire at will as well as being able to imbue his punches, kicks, sword swings and Brawler Aura techniques with his fire powers for additional damage to enemies.

The gem also grants Waddle Dee Jr. an immunity to fire attacks, making them ineffective against him.

Attacks[]

  • Red Carpet
    Debut: Chapter 3
    Waddle Dee creates a small fiery area around him and then unleashes flames that scorch any unlucky opponent to be in the radius. This technique doesn't have much range on it, making it more suited for close range. It was first seen when Waddle Dee burned Drawcia's Mumbies to ashes and it's name is a reference to the technique of the same name used by the Fire mode of the Robobot Armor in Kirby: Planet Robobot.

History[]

Past[]

Waddle Dee has known Dedede, Cloud, Raven and Rachel since they were babies and they often played together as kids. When he was 9 years old, he accidentally ingested the Gem of Fire when he and Dedede were playing hide and seek.
