Dippa[1] is an enemy from Another Dimension encountered in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. It is only encountered in Another Dimension and in the new Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler extra mode in the remake, alongside its counterparts, the Darpas, Dupas, and Deppas.

Dippa resembles a Darpa, albeit slightly larger. It is a moderately sized reddish-pink butterfly-like creature with a three appendages on its head arranged in a crest-like manner. It wields a grumpy expression from its yellow eyes, a characteristic shared with higher-ranking Sphere Doomers.

This enemy is slightly more complex than a Darpa and it is relatively rare among its brethren. It has the ability to fire projectiles which zero in on and can damage Kirby and his friends if they make contact with one. An easy way to dodge these bullets is to simply shoot them down, which is less riskier than simply running away from it. The Dippa can also ram into Kirby and co, but it only moves in a straight line and doesn't change direction. It doesn't have so much health and is slightly harder to dodge than a Darpa.
