The rougher and more brutal take on Dedede’s theme here fits surprisingly well with his Dreamland 3/64 design they used for this game. Never would’ve pictured it on my own but it’s damn good.
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if sheikah-made rocket thrusters explode from the bottom of Hyrule Castle and the final fight takes place in space.
Bowser doesn't have a consistent leitmotif to call his own, but he has his own style. Some fusion of rock and jazz music is Bowser's signature, I guess you could call the intro to his Mario 64 theme a semi-consistent theme for bowser, as the stinger plays in most games he's in
Also Dedede‘s theme keeps slowly expanding and developing In superstar, they added the 2nd part after original melody And here they kept the beginning section from Star Allies
Imma say it now, lore wise King Dedede right now is facing you with all his wrath. NO it's not the petty squabble like the usual "i wanna be better than Kirby" It's the wrath of a King, feral and desperate. A final battle for him after a long 5 month in a strange land (Assuming the mind control didn't turn him feral but to be enslaved or aligned with great loyalty)
@@StarlyCactusI'm still happy they referenced it used to being that, using this song. They honestly seem to love referencing/re-using concepts from that cancelled game, from morpho knight, Star Allies' main mechanic being built around the cancelled games 4 player co-op playing as enemies mechanics, etc.
me and all of my kirby friends popped off so hard when we got there, Extra Mode feels like work most of the time but stuff like that reminds me that I love being a Kirby fan
I love how recent iterations of legendary old games aren't forgetting about old antagonists and always find a way to make them more badass and give them kickass themes. King Dedede and Bowser being prime examples of this.
I consider it King Dedede's theme from Star Allies to basically be part of King Dedede's theme now, just like how Kirby Super Star had expanded on his theme from the Mt. Dedede days.
Random head-cannon: There's a whole horde of captured waddle dees nearby that are cheering for Kirby off-screen / The waddle dees can hear all of the commotion from the other side of the elevator. Depends on which fight is currently happening. Either way, the vocals are the captured waddles trying to cheer Kirby on.

"I'ma squrush dat der Kirbeh! what do ya mean squrush isn't a word? it's a combination of squash and crush! AND I'MA DO IT TO KIRBEH!" -Dedede probably Edit: changed Kirby to Kirbeh to make it more lore accurate.

Real talk, we need a point in some Kirby game down the line where good ol non-possessed King Triple D loses his hammer in a confrintation to whatever big-bad flavor of the week, and just absolutely decides to throw hands (err, mitts).
He threw in the towel for rivalry in STU, in Revenge of the King when he challenges Kirbeh to one last fight, the only time he's has a willing fight against Kirbeh after that was in Fighters 2 when he challenged Kirbeh to a trial where he and Meta Knight are at the end waiting for a duel.
Dedede, at first, he was nothing special, a mundane lifeform, weak in comparison to Kirby, a god. However, his strength only grew from there, and its grew more and more. He is the king, he decided to become stronger, cementing his place in history. He becomes one of the strongest beings on the planet, a threat to Kirby at this point. Yes, through sheer willpower, training, and ability, he becomes a threat to a GOD. While Kirby has won every bout, he still had to try, to struggle, to fight, the king has rightfully taken his place amongst the strongest of beings. A king may yield before a god, but he remains a king. *Long live the king of dreamland, may his strength continue to grow*
When a past antagonist faces the main protagonist again 5 arcs later but the main protagonist has gotten too op to beat but still tries their hardest to win anyways
Has to be for a king that can match a godslayer through naught but training and willpower. (Dedede is the vegeta to Kirby's Goku. Meta Knight is the Piccolo, and Bandana dee is the Krillin.)
Finally beating phase 1 of HR-D3, then hearing this music start up, was... An experience. I was actually too distraught at the fact that there was another phase to notice what the music was at first XD
Poor ddd got suck by a void, send to the future where he got bent in killing a bounty hunter, and after failing, got impaled by an ice spike from the ground, truly an unexpected beast king
Alright, this is easily the best arrangement of VS King Dedede, well... EVER! Seriously, I absolutely love everything about it, from the backing vocals to the fact that it just slaps!
surprised they even brought this back for Return to Dream Land Deluxe, but it fits for HR-D3 as this big guy WAS supposed to be something for the Kirby GCN game
Mighty Elfilis, thou'rt a trueborn heir. Lend me thy strength, o kindred. Deliver me unto greater heights. ..Well. A lowly Star Warrior, playing as hero. I command thee, kneel! I am the lord of all the beasts!
I legit was thinking this in my head when I kept getting chased by him. 😂 (I kept trying to get away from him, so, I had the opportunity to strike back without getting hit by his hammer)
It keeps changing just like his design, but they are both AMAZING NOW!!! This is probably the BEST Triple D theme, and I love his design that's similar to his 64 design!
"Stand up and sing for the mighty king!!!!! Yeah! Steel your mind, What you'll find, Might make you riled! So let's get wild! 30 Years in the making, All the fans amped and quaking! What will the folks at HAL sound gift them this game? (Here we go!) Will this song be breathtaking? Or will it be heartbreaking? All the anticipation drives insane!
I’m not sure Dedede is capable of roaring because he is a penguin, more like a highly aggressive, spine-chilling quack
"highly aggressive, spine-chilling quack" is my new favourite quote in relation to Dedede I have ever heard
@@adamjsher04 agreed
You can kinda hear him doing exactly that throughout, like, the whole song.
Yes, but ‘Quack of Dedede’ just sounds stupid.
Well, he's not exactly a penguin, he's a big Waddle Dee with a beak.
Just so you know, due to time dilation, Dedede was in the forgotten land for 5 months before Kirby arrived.
He's still sane? Respect.
Wait, where did you get this info?
@@LightlessLunala Nintendo dream interview. There's a full translation of it online, I'll link it once I find it

Also I will admit that the time dilation stuff is more implied than anything exactly stated.
This is where the game takes the kid gloves off and boy do you feel it in this theme

Just play it over the Kirby 64 factory level with dedede helping ya and it looks better
I call this version "Club Penguin Dedede".
@@renaultft1917 That's exactly what I thought when I first saw him.
First Bowser got his Bowser's Fury theme now this ?! I am looking forward to a Ganon masterpiece that rocks my socks off.
It's his theme from the DiC cartoon played on a kazoo.
BotW 2’s final boss theme will just be a Nintendo-made metal remix of Calamity and Dark Beast
Botw 2 is probably going to end with hyrule castle sprouting divine beast spider legs and link chasing giant ganondorf around the entire planet
At this point, I wouldn't be surprised if sheikah-made rocket thrusters explode from the bottom of Hyrule Castle and the final fight takes place in space.
imagine if Ganon's theme is him fucking shredding on a piano
I like how King Dedede has a consistent theme throughout the series. Like Bowser's had some themes but nothing ever stuck, King Dedede's have
Kirby likes their leitmotifs
Bowser doesn't have a consistent leitmotif to call his own, but he has his own style. Some fusion of rock and jazz music is Bowser's signature, I guess you could call the intro to his Mario 64 theme a semi-consistent theme for bowser, as the stinger plays in most games he's in
Also Dedede‘s theme keeps slowly expanding and developing
In superstar, they added the 2nd part after original melody
And here they kept the beginning section from Star Allies
nah Bowser's always had a leitmotif ever since 64, just less used than DeDeDe's, you can truly here it in Odyssey
Yeah I'm telling you kirby is the real mascot for nintendo marios just the face
This song is very similar to his theme from Star Allies but they upped it to such heights here it’s not even comparable.
It's actually a remix, probably every future theme in the next games will be similar to the one of star allies
@@Just_a_rathalos151 Damn… Yet again, the original theme has been milked so much already, so it's fair I guess.
@@Just_a_rathalos151 It's a bit more heavy metal.
This is definitely one of the best versions of DDD’s theme.
Is just me or this is giving me final boss vibes?
If not the best
@@Just_a_rathalos151 no I really love this remix of Dedede theme in my opinion I think it’s the best theme in the game in my opinion

@@AzumarillConGafasBv prove it
When i was fighting dedede for the first time i just stopped attacking him for a few minutes to listen to this, it's absolutely amazing .
i would've done that if it wasn't for the mission where you have to beat him in 1:30

Wdym defeat I first tryed him both times (only bosses I died to where sillydilo and of course elfilis)
I realized, this theme mixes the best dedede songs into one (except masked dedede) + rock genre to make it feel more primal and wild.
I consider it King Dedede's theme from Star Allies to basically be part of King Dedede's theme now, just like how Kirby Super Star had expanded on his theme from the Mt. Dedede days.
it doesn't really mix anything, it's just the version from star allies
Random head-cannon: There's a whole horde of captured waddle dees nearby that are cheering for Kirby off-screen / The waddle dees can hear all of the commotion from the other side of the elevator. Depends on which fight is currently happening.
Either way, the vocals are the captured waddles trying to cheer Kirby on.
additional head canon: Dedede can hear them and through the mind control he thinks they're cheering for him.

By far the Best Dedede Theme ever, They knocked it out of the Park with this one in My humble opinion
They turned him into a club penguin character
