I hope you all enjoyed this much needed Waddle Dee history lesson. I was really inspired by Carlito's style of videos where he covered a bunch of other Nintendo enemies so if you all liked this then you'll love his content. Be sure to sub and like so that I can overly in-depth about things I like www.youtube.com/@CarlitoCFL
Fun Fact: In the Kirby Light Novels, there was originally just one Waddle Dee. This Waddle Dee acted as Dedede's subordinate and Kirby's close friend. In the novelization of Kirby Battle Royale, the Printer that created Kirby copies was used to make Waddle Dee copies beforehand to assist with the tournament. With so many people running around that look just like them, the original Waddle Dee decided to wear a blue bandana and went by "Bandana Waddle Dee."
The fact that Commentator and Wise Waddle Dees have glasses means that there are Waddle Dee Optometrists. To become an optometrist requires an optometry degree, which you can get after getting a bachelor’s degree at some sort of college. Therefore, there are waddle dee colleges.
So here are a few points that Vernias missed out on because I absolutely adore Bandana Waddle Dee and because a weird talking penguin sent me here: - Bandana Waddle Dee's first appearance wasn't in the remake of Super Star, but rather in the original version since he's the first contestant in the Megaton Punch minigame - Bandana Waddle Dee plays a massive role in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse as he's a playable ally who along with two clones will fight alongside Kirby and Elline - Bandana Waddle Dee is the only other playable character in Forgotten Land in co-op mode and will actually feature in the cutscenes (hence why he was present in the ending) - In Kirby Battle Royale, Bandana Waddle Dee is Kirby's partner in the story mode and even has his loyalty to King Dedede tested - Bandana Waddle Dee has canonically defeated King Dedede and Meta-Knight on 3 separate occasions, though he fought alongside Kirby - Bandana Waddle Dee is a top-class Navy Seals and was involved in multiple Al-Qaeda raids with over 300 confirmed kills
Don’t worry, it’s been confirmed that Dark matter isn’t the cause of every single Waddle Doo, as even the name of that possessed waddle dee isn’t Waddle Doo. It’s likely related to Kracko and his electricity powers.
Waddle Dees are just such good lads. In lore it seems like their species is subservient to anyone who provides them the hospitality. They may be pretty weak outside of Bandana Dee but no one can deny how effective they can be at a job (or at least a job that doesn't involve guarding or taking out Kirby.
I mean, I feel that how powerful they are tends to be underrepresented because they usually fight a being capable of dealing with eldritch horrors (Kirby).
Waddle Doos are interesting as the waddle doo in Kirby 64 is the only example of a waddle dee becoming a waddle doo and that waddle doo doesn’t even use a *beam attack* so I don’t think the other waddle doos are dark matter possessed waddle dees. However what is peculiar about waddle doos is that while they have an association with King DDD through there association with association with waddle dees, they also are heavily associated with Kracko as Kracko summons them in most fights with Kracko and only in Kirby Epic Yarn does Kracko have mini Kracko variants that they summon to fight Kirby. This is the only example in Kirby that I can think of an enemy having an association to two separate bosses. I like to imagine King DDD and Kracko have arguments over who gets ownership of the waddle doos.
Can i say we need more videos of Vernias talking about stuff he loves like i would love a video with him just talking about all the enemies in Kirby games and you miss the Verni Dee the pinkest of all the dees.
so true i agree i would love to just see vernias talk about his favourite plushies and why they are his favourite idk i just like seeing vernias talk 😭🔥
Great video, love to see some spotlight on these adorable enemies. When it comes to the sectra dees, in the Queen sectonia fight when she brings you onto the jewel platform she summons three types of sectra dees that give you fire, ice, and electricity when absorbed. Also Bandana dee actually appeared in Megaton Punch in the original superstar and then reappeared in the remake with the revenge of the king segment and replacing the arena dee in the arena.
My headcannon is that waddle doos are waddle dees that went to kracko to undergo that transformation that makes them stronger, but shortens their lifespans, leading into my other headcannon, kraco originates from dark matter.
@@H3c70r-m6j but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's not dark matter, that just says that he respawns in the sky. I believe the true origin of Kraco is still completely unknown, along with his odd ability to resurrect himself anytime he fights(and loses) to Kirby.
@@H3c70r-m6j okay, so I did a little research and found that in Kirby star allies the parallel versions of Kraco are not only made up of "the tears of his enemies" and "reborn from pure hate and the terrible power of a jet-black sky." While you could say these traits are limited to parallel Kraco, it still implies a few connections between dark matter and the real Kraco.
Wow! This video was AWESOME, dude!! I've certainly learned a lot about Waddle Dees, thanks to you. I even saw some Waddle Dees that I've never seen before! You did an excellent job with this video, and I just wanted to say, thank you for everything! You truly are one of my favorite content creators, and I'm really proud to be a member of the Vern Nation! ❤️
Waddle Dee: King D: GET ME FOOD Waddle Dee: King D: WADDLE DOO! Waddle Doo: BEAM ATTACK Escargon: uhhh…. King D: WHAT DO YOU WANT Escargon: they can’t talk King D:😐
You forgot about the Waddle Dee plush that the Kirby Cafe staff places next to you if you visit alone so that you always have a friend. Truly the best Waddle Dee.
I genuinely hadn't known about that tidbit about playable Waddle Dees in Super Kirby Clash until I watched this, Vern. And believe me, I know lots of obscure Kirby trivia. Excellent video! Now I wait for the day someone else does a video in this style covering the different types of Moos from the Klonoa series...
I can understand why it wouldn't be added, but Minny from Amazing Mirror i think belongs on the list, it gives you the Mini ability and its official art looks like a waddle dee baby
Honestly, I really like this video. I understand why you would want to make this, as I am also overly passionate about a lot of the things I like. This admittedly makes me want to make a presentation on every different Peashooter plant from Plants vs. Zombies
I feel like every Kirby monster doesn’t get the deserved love. Don’t get me wrong the Waddles…I’d commit many unspeakable acts to keep the waddles smiling
Actually saddened that the upset waddle dee in the Merry Magoland in dreamland deluxe was not mentioned. The little baby is upset because it is being teased by another waddle dee riding the metal general ride. The feet stomps are too adorable. This shows that the waddle dees actually have needs and emotion expressed through body language. So cute
Holy. I have never seen so many waddle dees in one place. However, skimming over Rainbow Curse was a grave mistake. There is 2 separate Waddle Dee characters for player 3 and 4: Green Bandana Dee and Yellow Bandana Dee. People think that they are just reskinned clones, but descriptions of the characters in the figurine museum gives them their own personalities like yellow being more Sheepish, and Green being more of the silent type (I think). This means that they are not clones but their own whole characters, and not just clones
I think that waddle dees are smarter than you think. The reason being they can, read, drive cars and trains, cook, build, make movies, and play instraments.
I like to play as bandana dee and go swimming Fun fact, if you surface in a body of water you get a life ring Idk if other games have that but return to Dreamland sure does
Kirby's Epic Yarn has gotta be on like my top 5 favorite games ever, but it's only a wii game despite how much I would totally buy it for other present consoles... Our wii is old, and I wanna play it again now T-T ...
i actually think Awoofies count as Waddle Dees but from another dimension if you look at an Awoofy it has the same colours (including the redder dees), the lighter patch is similar to the one on a Waddle Dee and their back paws resemble Waddle Dee shoes. they're dog Waddle Dees
The history tes: what were countries main method of attack during WWI Me: they used the armored waddle dees along with king waddle doos to fight they also had driving waddle dees and walker dees when needed
Well, you forgot a pair of Waddle Dees that appear in Rainbow Curse, the Yellow and Green WD, they are clones of Bandana Dee that Elline created, unlike Kirby, these 3 WD aren't held back by the main mechanic of the game so they can be played out like a normal Kirby character Also, in this game Bandana Dee is referred as Red Waddle Dee for some reason

This better include the Arena Waddle Dee from Kirby Super Star
Oh hell yeah I love Carlito
carlito!!!!
beam attack
Waddle Deeeee
God I love these little dudes
FAILBOAT!!!
Beam attack
Until they sprout lips and start vocalizing the live chats worrying inner thoughts
Beam attack p.s I love your videos
I got into your channel through the most violent kirby game video.

i love this
Kirby Battle Royale is so underrated
SO THAT'S WHY HE HAS A BANDANA
so bandana waddle dee is the true first waddle dee
@@AlphonsoGames In the Light Novel continuity, yes.
The fact that Commentator and Wise Waddle Dees have glasses means that there are Waddle Dee Optometrists.
To become an optometrist requires an optometry degree, which you can get after getting a bachelor’s degree at some sort of college.
Therefore, there are waddle dee colleges.
There’s literally a professor waddle dee 😭
Wanya College-
So they have to earn Waddle Dee-grees?
@@DramaLlamaTheatrics alternatively they can look to quickly get a job by trying to get a waddle dee-ploma.
I mean, duh. Where do you think Wise Waddle Dee got that cap?
So here are a few points that Vernias missed out on because I absolutely adore Bandana Waddle Dee and because a weird talking penguin sent me here:
- Bandana Waddle Dee's first appearance wasn't in the remake of Super Star, but rather in the original version since he's the first contestant in the Megaton Punch minigame
- Bandana Waddle Dee plays a massive role in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse as he's a playable ally who along with two clones will fight alongside Kirby and Elline
- Bandana Waddle Dee is the only other playable character in Forgotten Land in co-op mode and will actually feature in the cutscenes (hence why he was present in the ending)
- In Kirby Battle Royale, Bandana Waddle Dee is Kirby's partner in the story mode and even has his loyalty to King Dedede tested
- Bandana Waddle Dee has canonically defeated King Dedede and Meta-Knight on 3 separate occasions, though he fought alongside Kirby
- Bandana Waddle Dee is a top-class Navy Seals and was involved in multiple Al-Qaeda raids with over 300 confirmed kills
But does he know over 100 ways to kill you with just his bare hands?
@@CR1MSONACEno it’s vernias 😂
Wait a minute...
Bruh it taked me like 1,30 min

They were able to overwhelm Wario in SSBB’s Subspace Emissary mode!
I mean if you provide one of them with enough training then maybe they'll be on par with bandee or even kirby himself
driver dee: "USE YOUR SIGNAL, YOU *canya* " im ded 💀
*KANYA*
I can’t stop repeating these perfect 9 seconds, but it’s for a good reason: CANYAAAA

Li'l Krackos are also seen in Dream Land 2, 3, Toy Box and Tilt 'n' Tumble.
I mean, Waddle Doos do not associate with Dark matter or Kracko in the prequel of Kirby games or the anime
The Vernation explanation right there!
Such passion in that voice is really inspiring
Can i say we need more videos of Vernias talking about stuff he loves like i would love a video with him just talking about all the enemies in Kirby games and you miss the Verni Dee the pinkest of all the dees.
so true i agree i would love to just see vernias talk about his favourite plushies and why they are his favourite idk i just like seeing vernias talk 😭🔥
I would love him to talk about his feelings with his friends
The OSHA construction waddle dees’ hats actually do what they’re supposed to do and protect the dees from harm from above!
6:31 BeAm AtTaCk! Oh!
7:36 kinda reminds me of the big dee moment.
14:18 Use your signal, you *canya.* 😂

#14:15 "use your signal (waddle dee) sound effect''
Always gets me
"Use your signal, YOU K A N Y A"
My headcannon is that waddle doos are waddle dees that went to kracko to undergo that transformation that makes them stronger, but shortens their lifespans, leading into my other headcannon, kraco originates from dark matter.
One issue with that theory kracko is said to orginstes from cloudy skies even in the dark world
@@H3c70r-m6j but that doesn't necessarily mean that he's not dark matter, that just says that he respawns in the sky. I believe the true origin of Kraco is still completely unknown, along with his odd ability to resurrect himself anytime he fights(and loses) to Kirby.

Pretty neat, but who knows what gonna happen to kracko in the next game
And have a good day

Waddle Dee:
King D: GET ME FOOD
Waddle Dee:
King D: WADDLE DOO!
Waddle Doo: BEAM ATTACK
Escargon: uhhh….
King D: WHAT DO YOU WANT
Escargon: they can’t talk
King D:😐
This is actually the most important video on TH-cam. Thank you for your service, Mr. Vernias. I salute and commend you.
You forgot about the Waddle Dee plush that the Kirby Cafe staff places next to you if you visit alone so that you always have a friend.
Truly the best Waddle Dee.
Love the video! :DD Please keep covering subjects you're passionate about! this is the kind of content youtube needs more of :')
I genuinely hadn't known about that tidbit about playable Waddle Dees in Super Kirby Clash until I watched this, Vern. And believe me, I know lots of obscure Kirby trivia. Excellent video!
Now I wait for the day someone else does a video in this style covering the different types of Moos from the Klonoa series...
vernias calling kirby and waddle dee "enemies to lovers" is rotting mybrain
Oh god the knocking gave me a literal heart attack D:
I can understand why it wouldn't be added, but Minny from Amazing Mirror i think belongs on the list, it gives you the Mini ability and its official art looks like a waddle dee baby
you forgot about those waddle dees found in Cloudy Park in Kirby Dream Land 3 that look like doodles and can come alive
They’re just little guys doing their best!
5:26 *Beam Attack*
0:05 T H E K I R B R A I N
As a fellow Kirby fanatic, this video gave me a huge smile on my face and I think D just became one of my favorite letters
Hearing Altars of Apostasy in the fucking waddle dee video was surprising, but respectable.
"...and his enemies."
*Immediately shows Vernia's face*
I love how he put up the waddle doo png and started playing that dinky song from Return to Dreamland
camera waddle dee looks so done and I love it
Carlito moment. We all needed this.
This sounds sarcastic doesn't it?
You forgot to mention the other skill Bandana Dee learned in Return to Dremland: he can give himself a leg-up and climb the air
Waddle Dees are incomprehensibly loyal creatures, I love them
Just realized, King Doo constantly has an eyelash in his eye. Maybe that's why he's so angry all the time and wants to kill
Honestly, I really like this video. I understand why you would want to make this, as I am also overly passionate about a lot of the things I like. This admittedly makes me want to make a presentation on every different Peashooter plant from Plants vs. Zombies
3:19
The scariest boss in the game
I feel like every Kirby monster doesn’t get the deserved love. Don’t get me wrong the Waddles…I’d commit many unspeakable acts to keep the waddles smiling
18:34 Thanks for bringing that gag back from your Dream Buffet vid 😂😂
The Cuteness of the Waddle Dee's will always make me smile with joy, give them head pats and hugs to make them Happy!!!!
What I gotta say is that it’s darn impressive someone made a video about Waddle Dees without making… That joke
Actually saddened that the upset waddle dee in the Merry Magoland in dreamland deluxe was not mentioned. The little baby is upset because it is being teased by another waddle dee riding the metal general ride. The feet stomps are too adorable. This shows that the waddle dees actually have needs and emotion expressed through body language. So cute
11:57 A HAT IN TIME REFERENCE
I think when u destrow the dees in most kirby games since they just go poof when defeated i think of it as them being teleported to their town
WELCOME TO A NEW EPISODE OF : EVERY [BLANK] EVER
This had to be the cutest video i have ever seen, cute ass waddle dees and vernias cute ass voice passionately talking about them.
Holy. I have never seen so many waddle dees in one place. However, skimming over Rainbow Curse was a grave mistake. There is 2 separate Waddle Dee characters for player 3 and 4: Green Bandana Dee and Yellow Bandana Dee. People think that they are just reskinned clones, but descriptions of the characters in the figurine museum gives them their own personalities like yellow being more Sheepish, and Green being more of the silent type (I think). This means that they are not clones but their own whole characters, and not just clones
if you translate the captions at 18:06 it says “Kirby I Forgot To Turn Off The Stove”
En efecto, es un meme muy usado en latinoamerica
2:01 Great music choice, one the most underrated tracks
If anyone is wondering, the song is called mallow/marshmallow castle
Waddle dees are too cute to be killed. In Kirby star allies, I’ll never kill a single waddle Dee
I think that waddle dees are smarter than you think. The reason being they can, read, drive cars and trains, cook, build, make movies, and play instraments.
And that's why Gold waddle Dees are in danger of extinction. 8:44.
I like to play as bandana dee and go swimming
Fun fact, if you surface in a body of water you get a life ring
Idk if other games have that but return to Dreamland sure does
1:16 Seeing that face without the lasers is uncanny
USE YOUR SINGLE YOU BANYEA best line 11/10 got me and the boys luaghtin
1:17 Man, this sound always triggers my fight or flight response.
Whenever i see a waddle doo, i get the reminder of one of the best lines by Failboat, “beam attack!”
The other best line is “The idea is simple:”
Kirby's Epic Yarn has gotta be on like my top 5 favorite games ever, but it's only a wii game despite how much I would totally buy it for other present consoles... Our wii is old, and I wanna play it again now T-T ...
9:14 This Part of the video is super interesting and important so I think all of you should listen to it.
My heart stopped working in this part
Thank you for this waddle dee-p dive into waddle dee-story, this is awesome!
7:52
I'll have you know Drawcia Soul (I just realized that's DS abbreviated) traumatized me at like 8 or so
One day I need to find a goofy waddle dee plush. Maybe a good one so I can make a shiny joke
This is all vital information
The Failboat voicelines 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
True story:
Vernias: Bandana Waddle Dee.
My friends and I: YeaaaaaaaaaaaaaH!
This is my first vid of yours I've watched, I am thoroughly entertained.
can’t believe you forgot the waddle tank from return to dreamland’s scope shot minigame
the only kirby merch i have is a waddle dee plush
Viridi when you mention a piranha plant 50 feet away:
This is the most vernias video ever i’m happy vernias is the one making it
The idea of kirby mass attack scares me. Did you see how fast they devoured that painting dee the second they knew he existed?
I love the waddle Dee with the dandelion
Can we just say that this man said a waddle dee got flipping drafted to war 😂😂
i actually think Awoofies count as Waddle Dees but from another dimension
if you look at an Awoofy it has the same colours (including the redder dees), the lighter patch is similar to the one on a Waddle Dee and their back paws resemble Waddle Dee shoes.
they're dog Waddle Dees
The history tes: what were countries main method of attack during WWI
Me: they used the armored waddle dees along with king waddle doos to fight they also had driving waddle dees and walker dees when needed
the alters of apostasy jumpscare caught me so off guard lmao glad to see random ultrakill fans
9:13 nah that’s messed up Vern I was wearing headphones
Waddle Dee Nuts
man my favorite waddle dee phrase gotta be
"bnoy"
6:32 BEAM ATK-
Fun fact!: bandana waddle dee was got his bandana from king dedede. Bandana waddle dee was the most loyal to king dedede, so he earned a bandana.
* basically a waddle Dee fan just explaining lore of waddle dees
finally, all Wadle Dee species in one video.
I feel like vernias would like "A Hat in Time"
Well, you forgot a pair of Waddle Dees that appear in Rainbow Curse, the Yellow and Green WD, they are clones of Bandana Dee that Elline created, unlike Kirby, these 3 WD aren't held back by the main mechanic of the game so they can be played out like a normal Kirby character
Also, in this game Bandana Dee is referred as Red Waddle Dee for some reason
13:00
That one flynig is a reskin of Bronto Burt
Bandana Dee might actually be my favorite Kirby character of all time
waddle doo! i love that little dude so much he makes me happy VERN CAN I ADOPT WADDLE DOO PLEASE!
"Waddle Dee: Into the Waddleverse"
Deeverse
6:31 “BEAM ATTAC- OOOOOAGH”
I love the reference
12:05 YOU’LL HAVE TO RETURN TO DREAM LAND FOR THE 4TH TIME EVENTUALLY-! 😂
What you see: stack of d-e-e-s
What I see: GOOMBA
5:52 vern, bandee appears in megaton punch in the original superstar on the snes, before 64
6:31 BEAM ATTA~ OOOOOOoh!
If the waddle doos are the doing dees, then what dees to doo the dees have left to doo?
My brain just farted…
Waddle Dee is so cute!! never kill the 1st waddle dee or perish
