Kirby's Return to Dream Land/Characters/Waddle Dee

Waddle Dee (or Bandana Dee) is the most similar to Kirby out of the three co-op characters. In fact, Bandana Dee is exactly the same as Spear Kirby in terms of stats and power, outside of the single difference listed below.

• Tips
  • Because Waddle Dee is essentially Spear Kirby, and spear does not grant Kirby additional mobility, Waddle Dee's main niche is when an energy sphere requires spear to hit something through a wall underwater (levels 3-2 and 4-3), so Kirby will not have to discard his current ability.
  • Unless Kirby has Spear, Waddle Dee can also destroy underwater objects far in front of Kirby, as Kirby otherwise slows down when he tries to attack underwater.
  • All movement tips for Kirby also apply for Waddle Dee, as they are literally exactly the same character outside of jumping in the air.
  • Given spear's lack of overall power (relative to Metaknight), Waddle Dee should also never be used for combat purposes.

• Character Differences
  • Instead of flying, he has an infinite number of midair jumps. Overall, this makes him faster in the air than King Dedede and Kirby, but slower than Meta Knight.
