"Gee, ya think?" -Waddle Doo's usual sarcastic remark.

Waddle Doo is one of the seven main characters in the Kirby: Behind the Scenes series where he is the fourth character introduced in Chapter 1 along with Dedede, Waddle Dee and Drawcia. He was one of the six main characters introduced in Kirby: Behind the Scenes along with Dedede, Waddle Dee, Cloud, Raven and Drawcia (who was a antagonist at the time).

Waddle Doo is the Royal Security Guard of Castle Dedede and thus it is his job to make sure that Castle Dedede is secured.

Appearance[]

Main Article: Waddle Doo/Gallery

Waddle Doo pre-Chapter 4

Waddle Doo as he appeared prior to Chapter 4.

Waddle Doo looks nearly exactly the same as members of his species do in the game series, but with some noticeable differences. Unlike his species in the games except in Kirby's Dream Land, he had three black hairs but he now has only 2 hairs. His body is yellow, his feet are pale orange and his eye is blue.

Sometime before Chapter 3, Waddlesworth put robotic parts that Waddle Doo himself created in him and thus made him a cyborg but they didn't appear until Chapters 3 and 4. He has a metal plate where his third hair was and has two cords that connect to his arms, these cords actually connect to a organ next to his brain that generates energy. These first appeared in Chapter 4 right after he and Dedede destroys one of the Dracoloses that Drawcia created. This is his main design as now in the series.

For bed, Waddle Doo wears a orange nightcap with the rim and fluff ball being pale orange in color.

As a kid, Waddle Doo looked much like he did prior to Chapter 4 but smaller in size and his 3 hairs were short.

Personality[]

Mischievous Waddle Doo

Waddle Doo's most noticeable personality trait is that he is a coward, as he tends to get scared and panic when in combat or situations that frighten him. Despite his cowardliness, Waddle Doo refuses to run away from situations that scare him because he doesn't want to ditch his friends and this shows how loyal to them he is.

Waddle Doo is also shown to be very sarcastic as he makes very sarcastic remarks frequently, often reacting in annoyance to Waddle Dee Jr.'s puns and making snarky remarks on people he is not fond of as seen with Drawcia during Chapter 7. Like the other Dream Warriors, Waddle Doo is a kind and unselfish person and he is shown that he cares much about his friends and his family to the point that Waddle Doo will go out of his way to help them in anyway he can such as refusing to run away from situations that scare him.

During Kirby: Behind the Scenes, Waddle Doo was shown to have a bit of a mischievous side as he often did pull pranks on his fellow Dream Warriors much to their annoyance but he stops doing them after Dedede and Waddle Dee Jr. shaved his hair as payback for him pranking them. Waddle Doo has shown that he does have a interest in science, as seen with his inventions and interests in science fiction series such as Fossil Park, Cyboman and Galactic Purge.

Abilities[]

Main Article: Beam Force
Until Chapter 3 of Kirby: Behind the Scenes, Waddle Doo didn't display any fighting skills until in said Chapter where it was revealed that he has cannons in his arms. A organ located next to his brain that connects to his eye is also his power source, as the energy he uses for either his eye beam attacks or shots from his cannons. As a Waddle Doo, a sentient species that are known for having just a single large eye, he has a greater sense of sight that makes him capable of seeing things from a further distance and he is capable of making well aimed shots from long range.

Along with Drawcia, Waddle Doo is one of the Dream Warriors' weakest members in terms of physical strength and because of this he relies on his brains rather than his brawn, such as either coming up with strategies to think of ways to attack his enemy. Waddle Doo also has shown that he has a degree of pain endurance, as he was bitten on his feet my Drawcia's Mumbies and didn't scream in pain. Waddle Doo has shown that he is skilled at mechanics such as machines and other technological stuff, such as his cyborg parts and RB-20.

As the Royal Security Officer of Castle Dedede, Waddle Doo has the authority to call soldiers to escort any intruders off of castle grounds if they set foot in the castle without permission.

Weapons[]

Cyborg Parts[]

Arms[]

Waddle Doo's arms have been shown having cannons in them and the cannons are the most used part of his arms as he uses them as his main method of combat, they were first revealed in Chapter 3. The cannons were completely gray for 10 Chapters but they got a slight redesign and now have a red line nearby the barrel starting in Chapter 11 onwards.

As mentioned above, Waddle Doo mainly fights with the cannons in his arms and he usually shoots energy orbs at his enemies. These energy orbs electrocute enemies, much similar to the Beam ability in the games. Besides shooting at enemies, Waddle Doo can also use the cannons for close range weapons or for defense. Waddle Doo also has other weapons for his cannons as well such as bombs, missiles and a flamethrower.

Back[]
Jetpack

Somewhere on Waddle Doo's back are two, small door-like metal plates which are usually hidden under his skin. Inside these is Waddle Doo's jet pack which is one of his modes of aerial transportation. He added the jet pack to himself with the help of Dr. Waddlesworth. This is first seen in the last few scenes of Chapter 5.

History[]

Past[]

Not much of Waddle Doo's background was touched upon until Kirby: Behind the Scenes 3: Chronicles of Darkness, where it is revealed that Waddle Doo once lived in Salt Village. He was close with his grandfather, Linden, who was killed in front of him 10 years before the series began. 2 years before the series began, Waddle Doo left Salt Village to get away from the constant death and suffering he was seeing from Gobi's tyrannical rule.

Linden[]

Friends[]

Dream Warriors[]

Waddle Doo gets along with his fellow Dream Warriors despite that he does get on their nerves occasionally with his pranks and they tend to get back at him by pranking him back. They also don't worry about Waddle Doo dying because they know that he will come back shortly afterwards.

Raven[]

Raven seems to hold a grudge against Waddle Doo for changing around their lucks by accident though Waddle Doo was attempting to explain what happened. It was revealed in Chapter 14 that Waddle Doo attempted to switch them back but he was brought back before he could do so and he mentions that Death switched them back.

Drawcia[]

Waddle Doo originally didn't like Drawcia much due to that she killed him 2 times during Kirby: Behind the Scenes, once with her spear and the second with her Mumbies. However, his disliking of her has eased up as of Chapter 12.

Enemies[]
