History Characters / KirbyRightBackAtYaOdysseyOfDreams

* SanitySlippage: [[spoiler:He used to be somewhat stable, but after [[GoMadFromTheIsolation locking himself in the Castle of Cake for who-knows-how-long]] and [[GoMadFromTheRevalation communing with the nightmares in the Dream Spring]], he spiraled into [[AxCrazy Ax-Craziness]]. Once he gets assimilated by Dark Matter, he further devolves into a [[FeralVillain bloodthirsty animal]].]]

* DropTheHammer: As is typical for the king, though he gets some other weapons as well.

* ImpossiblyCoolWeapon: King Dedede's weapons tend to be much more over-the-top than the others'. A [[SwissArmyWeapon Swiss-army]] [[DropTheHammer hammer]], a [[{{BFG}} cannon he carries in his arms]], and a [[LaserBlade laser]] [[ChainsawGood chainsaw]] are just some of his arsenal.

* DropTheHammer: His weapon of choice is the Mallet of Massive Fissures, a large metal hammer capable of causing earthquakes.

* DecapitationPresentation: [[spoiler:He proudly displays Commander Gyork's head after finally killing him.]]

* FourStarBadass: With his Mallet of Massive Fissures, he's able to go toe-to-toe with Commander Gyork.

!!Commander Gyork

* EyesDoNotBelongThere: In addition to having eyes on his head, Gyork has a large Dark Matter eye on his chest.
* GeneralFailure: He's [[DumbMuscle clearly not that smart]] and is easily manipulated by Kryl. Best exemplified when he defies Zero's orders and attempts to kill Kirby with the [[KillSat Eye of the Apocalypse]]. [[spoiler:This goes ''horribly'', as he fails to even fire before [[SpannerInTheWorks a future Meta Knight]] destroys the ultimate weapon, with Zero punishing Gyork for his incompetence shortly afterward. Even if it did work, it would've caused more problems in the long run since Zero needed the heroes alive]].

* MinorMajorCharacter: Despite being introduced as an important character, Gyork has very little screentime or development compared to Overlord Zero's other minions.

* MagicallyIneptFighter: King Dedede is almost exclusively a physical fighter. He only has one magic weapon, and it's the very last one he recieves.

* AbilityMixing: Early on, Gryl teaches Kirby how to combine Copy Abilities to create more powerful ones. It works almost exactly like im ''VideoGame/{{Kirby 64|TheCrystalShards}}'', but with a few minor differences: some Combo Abilities can be made with multiple combinations of abilities, and some combinations don't make any new abilities and give Kirby a random Copy Ability instead.

* AcidAttack: Both the Antlyon Queen and the Mumbie King have the abiliy to spit globs of acid.

* {{Determinator}}: Red Knight has a level of persistance rivalling Kryl's, continuing to fight Kirby even after he's taken a massive beating. He even manages to ''claw his way out of Snare Kirby's claws'', which even Kryl wasn't able to do.

* FairPlayVillain: Not usually, as he's all too willing to [[CombatPragmatist take the heroes by surprise]]. However, right before his final battle, he tosses each of he heroes a Maxim Tomato so [[BloodKnight they'll put up a better fight]].

* FreudianExcuse: At least in the original story: [[spoiler:he was relentlessly bullied as a child for being a descendent of the ancient sages, causing him to become paranoid and run away from home. After travelling from place to place and getting rejected for causing trouble out of paranoia, he returned to his homeland and locked himself in the Castle of Cake for years, where [[GoMadFromTheIsolation his sanity took a nosedive]] and he possibly made a DealWithTheDevil.]]
* FusionDance: [[spoiler:Marx Blight accidently merges with Zero during the final battle, becoming Marx Zero.]]

* NotEvilJustMisunderstood: [[spoiler:He's not really malicious so much as he is angry and confused--as Mecheye reveals, the organic material used to make Mecha Kirby has made him believe he's the real Kirby, with the organic Kirby being an imposter who's stolen his friends.]]

* GentlemanThief: Daroach is the classy and eleagant leader of the Squeaks.

* OurLichesAreDifferent: Tranforming himself into an undead monster is how he outlasted the other sages. He starts off as a zombie, then becomes a skeleton and finally a ghost as he takes damage.

* ApocalypseCult: [[spoiler:They are worshippers of Dark Matter, believing that they will be granted [[TakeOverTheWorld control of the world]] by pleasing them. To this end, they have assimilated many races besides Waddle Dees and Doos into their ranks.]]

!![[spoiler:Boomkuchen]]

* PunnyName: [[spoiler:Named after the Bundt cake, a doughnut-shaped type of cake.]]

!![[spoiler:Bundt]]
* AnthropomorphicFood: It's a creature that resembles [[spoiler:a triple-layer chocolate cake]].

[[folder: Dark Matter]]

* BladeOnAStick: One of his weapons, much like in the games. He later obtains an [[ShockAndAwe electrically charged]] spear called the Thunder Pike.

* GreenThumb: One of her weapons is the [[WhipItGood Bramble Whip]], which enables her to use plant-based magic.

* WhipItGood: Her Petal Dancer form comes with the Bramble Whip, a thorny vine that Tiff uses as a whip. It has the unique property of [[LifeDrain draining an enemy's health to heal herself]] if she ensnares one.
