'''Waddle Dee Town''' is a small settlement in the world of ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' which - as its name suggests - is home to many [[Waddle Dee]]s. These Waddle Dees populate the town as [[Kirby]] rescues them from the [[Beast Pack]], and the town grows in size and complexity as more are saved. The town itself serves as a hub area and rest stop for Kirby to visit in-between playing through regular stages, and Kirby has access to a number of [[Sub-Game]]s and other side activities while he is here. The town also serves as the equivalent to main menus in older ''Kirby'' games, since the equivalent of the [[Theater]], [[Jukebox]], and boss endurance modes are found here, and the [[Extra Mode]] - [[Isolated Isles: Forgo Dreams]] - is also accessible from here after clearing [[Lab Discovera]].

Waddle Dee Town is initially found in a ruined state when Kirby reaches it at the end of [[Point of Arrival]]. After rescuing [[Elfilin]] from a cage, he explains that he fought hard with the Waddle Dees against the [[Beast Pack]] but that eventually all of the Waddle Dees were captured. As Kirby rescues more Waddle Dees, the town gradually becomes livelier as they rebuild everything, and then add more things on top of it. At its maximum size, it is home to 300 Waddle Dees, and other characters, namely [[King Dedede]], [[Meta Knight]], and [[Clawroline]], can be found there as well by the end of the game.
