| King Dedede gains additional color schemes and new team colors. His second green one has an obi featuring sprites of the ''Kirby'' series enemy [[wikirby:Sparky|Sparky]], a light-blue and purple color based on concept designs for Parallel Dedede, and a black color scheme with an obi that features the eye shape of one of his possessors, [[wikirby:Dark Matter|Dark Matter]]. His Samurai Kirby-inspired costume also gains two additional color swaps. In 2.4, his Samurai Kirby-inspired costume receives visual touch-ups while also having him throw a [[wikirby:Key Dee|Key Dee]], a Waddle Doo as it appears in the aforementioned Sub-Game (with a yellow complexion to match the enemy Waddle Doos in ''Kirby Super Star''), and a [[wikirby:Blado|Blado]].

| '''Z-Secret Costume:''' Kirby 64 Dedede: Based on King Dedede's appearance in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', which became the basis for his appearances in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land'' and ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''. Extra details include the white crown-like fluff on his hat, his eyes and beak having a different shape, and the removal of his usual kimono. As of 2.4.1, the Waddle Dees he throws now resemble the [[wikirby:Waddle Dee (Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards)|individual character]], the Waddle Doos he throws now resembles the transformed form of said Waddle Dee after being possessed by [[wikirby:Dark Matter (cloud)|Dark Matter]], and the Gordos he throws now resemble the versions from ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' right down to the cyan spikes and wider eyes that look more cross-eyed than how they generally look in most other games.

| '''R-Secret Costume:''' Shadow Dedede: Based on Shadow Dedede, an entity hailing from the Mirror World in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''. Extra details include the monochrome bull's-eye emblem in place of King Dedede's own emblem, blank eyes always in an angry expression, and a different colored version of the Super Dedede Hammer normally wielded by Masked Dedede in place of the king's usual wooden hammer.

| ==Trivia==
| | '''Z-Secret Costume:''' Masked Dedede |
| *His original Z-Secret Costume was based on [[wikirby:Masked Dedede|Masked Dedede]], a form he takes on at the end of ''Kirby Super Star Ultra's'' [[wikirby:Revenge of the King|Revenge of the King]] Sub-Game, and would later appear as part of his Final Smash, [[Dede-Rush]], in Ultimate. The mask that was part of the costume appears as part of an Easter egg from 2.3 onwards.
