"Masked Dedede's Theme",[1] also known as "The Masked King",[2] is a music track commonly associated with King Dedede's alter-ego, Masked Dedede, as its name implies. It is essentially a remix of King Dedede's Theme played at a faster tempo. This theme is also often associated with other forms of King Dedede who wear different masks, such as Waning Crescent Masked Dedede & Waxing Crescent Masked Meta Knight and Forgo Dedede, as well as many alternate counterparts such as Shadow Dedede, King D-Mind, and Phantom Forgo Dedede
