Fan Casting King Dedede in Super Smash Bros: The Movie

How Dedede entered the throne is a mystery to this day given Dreamland's lack of any real government, but his presence is still appreciated as a figurehead nonetheless. For the most part, he is a benevolent figurehead, more often than not putting aside his gluttony and greed for the greater good of his people, but he did one time indulge in selfishness and rob his citizens of their food. Kirby eventually put a stop to his misdeeds, and his victory over the king established a rivalry that pushed King Dedede to learn how to inhale. The two's rivalry has become far friendlier in recent times, with things never escalating beyond a low-stakes Gourmet Race.
