Master King Dedede and Nightmare in Kirby's Adventure with strategies for Laser ability, the 'ball' power, and the Star Rod. Beat Dedede in under 30 seconds.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    King Dedede Strategy 1 (Laser Ability): Obtain the Laser ability from the Kirby's Ability Museum in World 2. Enter King Dedede's door. Use the Laser ability to hit him repeatedly (approximately 30 hits). The Laser ability can also cancel some of his moves, such as his charging hammer attack.
  2. 2
    King Dedede Strategy 2 ('Ball' Power): After completing Rainbow Resort, return to level 4 in Rainbow Resort and acquire the 'ball' power. Select the 'leave through a door' option. Enter King Dedede's fight. Immediately press B to activate the power and hold A. Kirby will move rapidly around the arena, damaging King Dedede. This strategy can defeat him in as little as 17.5 seconds.
  3. 3
    King Dedede Attacks & Dodges:
    • Hammer Slam: Runs forward and falls on the ground. Stay above him.
  4. 4
    Leaping Stars: Leaps into the air and lands, creating two stars. Predict his landing spot. You can spit stars back at him.
  5. 5
    Inhale: Inhales stars. Stay behind or above him.
  6. 6
    Hammer Crash: Charges forward, jumps, and crashes down with his hammer. Leaves a star behind.
  7. 7
    Bouncing Inflation: Inhales air, inflates, and bounces around. Stay in the corners.
  8. 8
    Ground Smash: Stands and smashes his hammer on the ground in front. Stay out of reach.
  9. 9
    Nightmare Strategy (Star Rod): You will have the Star Rod. Keep pressing A to shoot stars at Nightmare. This takes approximately 30 hits.

    • Three Stars: Shoots three stars in a semi-straight line. Move up or down.
  11. 11
    Star Across: Shoots a star across the middle, top, and bottom. Stay in the top or bottom middle areas.

    Two Stars: Sends two stars, one above the other. Move up or down, or stay in the middle.
  13. 13
    Four Stars: Shoots four stars at once (top, bottom, two middle). Align yourself between the two middle stars to dodge.
  14. 14
    Five Blades: Shoots 5 blades rapidly. Move up, down, and side-to-side.
  15. 15
    Mangled Four Stars: A variation of the four-star attack that becomes mangled after shooting. Dodge randomly.
  16. 16
    Nightmare Form 2 Attacks & Dodges: Damage Nightmare enough to trigger this form. Shoot your star (press B) when you see the whirlwind under its exterior. The attacks are easy to dodge and include: three star shot, five star downward shot, finger star zap, quadruple disappearing, and tornado touch.
