Castle Dedede

Castle Dedede is a famous structure in Dream Land, home to King Dedede, a retinue of Waddle Dee servants, and a number of other denizens depending on the game or setting it is featured in. Castle Dedede has taken on a number of different appearances throughout the series, but has centered around two essential designs. The first of these is the one that was established in Kirby's Dream Land - being a squared-off two-tiered castle with towers at each corner and a gate and windows which resemble a dour face. The second one is a more elaborate and large castle topped by a massive dome which is featured most prominently in Kirby: Right Back at Ya! and a number of games which released shortly after it. Starting with Kirby: Triple Deluxe, the classic look of the castle would return and continue to be used to the present day, last appearing in Kirby Star Allies. In addition to inconsistencies regarding appearance, Castle Dedede is also often located in a number of different areas within Dream Land. It is most commonly found atop Mt. Dedede, but it can also be located in gentler grassier areas more akin to where Kirby's House is. Official sources suggest that Dedede has multiple castles in different territories, likely explaining these discrepancies.[1] Castle Dedede is often subject to partial or total destruction throughout the Kirby series, either at the hands of Kirby himself or from villains, but is always repaired in time for the next adventure.
