'''King Dedede & Meta Knight''' are a duo [[boss]] in ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'' consisting of [[King Dedede]] and [[Meta Knight]] paired together as a team. They are the main antagonists of [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]], and are fought at the end of each chapter after Chapter 1 (though their first encounter in Chapter 2 is not genuine). Unlike [[Twin Woods]] and [[Duo Edge]], King Dedede & Meta Knight have many more attacks that specifically require teamwork to pull off.

! '''Notes'''
|-
|-
| '''Head Slide & Shuttle Loop'''
| ''''''
| King Dedede runs forward and does a [[Head Slide]] while Meta Knight flies above and does a [[Shuttle Loop]]. <br>Two [[Dropped Star]]s drop from King Dedede on impact.
|  
|  
|-
| '''Gordo Throw'''
| King Dedede and Meta Knight position on opposite sides of the stage. <br>King Dedede then pulls out one, two or three [[Gordo]]s and bats them across the stage with his hammer. <br>Meta Knight strikes the Gordos when they reach him, knocking them back across the stage and leaving a Dropped Star on each hit.
|
|-
| '''Hammer and Backhand Slash - Triple Slash'''
| King Dedede and Meta Knight position themselves at the center of the stage. Once done, King Dedede charges up and slams the ground in front of himself with his hammer, sending out a shockwave and leaving a Dropped Star on impact.<br>Behind him, Meta Knight throws out four successive sword swipes and finishes with a Crescent Shot projectile that also leaves a Dropped Star.
|
|
|-
| '''Piggyback Charge'''
| King Dedede performs a Super Dedede Jump to get to one side of the stage while Meta Knight swoops into position above him. <br>Meta Knight then [[Piggyback]]s on King Dedede and starts performing a Hyper Rush multisword strike as King Dedede rushes forward.<br>After a short distance, King Dedede trips, causing Meta Knight to fall forward and get his sword stuck in the ground, leaving a Dropped Star on impact.<br>King Dedede must then spend a long moment trying to pull Meta Knight and his sword free, leaving the two wide open for counterattacks.
| This move is only used by the Waddle Dee impostors.
|-
| '''[[Inhale]]'''
| After repositioning to opposite sides of the stage, King Dedede performs an inhale while Meta Knight [[Guard]]s.<br>If Kirby or his buddy are caught in the inhale, King Dedede will spit them back out the other side, and Meta Knight will swipe at them to finish the attack.
|
|-
| '''Tornado'''
| Meta Knight strikes his sword into the ground, releasing a small gust of wind that moves toward King Dedede.<br>When it hits him, a giant tornado sprouts which King Dedede rides in while doing a Hammer Spin, moving across the stage.<br>Upon completion, King Dedede is left in a daze while Meta Knight holds a Guard.
|Only used in the Chapter 3 encounter onwards.<br>In fourth and final chapters, Dedede will move up and down while in the tornado.
|-
| '''Super Dedede Jump and Aerial Crescent Shot'''
| Meta Knight flies into the air and holds position briefly. <br>He then throws out two Crescent Shot projectiles diagonally downward while King Dedede Super Dedede Jumps out of the way. <br>These attacks leave Dropped Stars on impact.
|Only used in the Chapter 3 encounter onwards.
|-
| '''Aerial Crescent Shot and Bat'''
| Meta Knight flies into the air and holds position briefly while King Dedede takes the other side of the stage. <br>Meta Knight then throws out two or more Crescent Shot projectiles diagonally downward while King Dedede charges his hammer. <br>King Dedede then bats one of the shots to split it into twice as many more projectiles that fan out from him, leaving drop stars on impact.
|Only used in the Chapter 3 encounter onwards.
|-
| '''Force Falls'''
| Meta Knight flies into the background and holds position briefly while King Dedede takes one side of the stage. <br>Meta Knight then conjures four magical boulders and tosses them into a column in front of King Dedede. <br>King Dedede then bats each of these forward, leaving a drop star each time.
|Only used in the Chapter 3 encounter onwards. <br>In the Final Chapter, Meta Knight conjures six boulders, and King Dedede bats them into the air to target Kirby.
|-
| '''Duplicate Inhale Attack'''
| Meta Knight flies into the background and splits into four copies while King Dedede takes to the air. <br>King Dedede then inhales all four Meta Knights and spits them out as projectiles at Kirby and his teammate, one by one.
|Only used in the Chapter 4 encounter onwards.
|-
| '''Swirling Hyper Crescent Blast'''
| After a brief portrait freeze-frame, King Dedede and Meta Knight jump to each-other and grab hold, spinning around in the air as several crescent shots fire out from them. <br>They then rise up and charge energy before slamming to the ground, creating a huge ripple and explosion that deals massive damage. <br>All crescent shots and the final explosion leave drop stars on impact, and King Dedede is dazed after the attack.
|Only used in the Chapter 4 encounter onwards, in the second phase. <br>The freeze-frame only happens during the first instance of the attack.
