Must Dash is the second stage in Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe. It is a mild-tempo stage set to the song Must Dash which introduces moving drums.

Overview[edit]

This stage spans a total of 62 drums from beginning to end. Along the way, the drum set consists of a fair amount of smaller drums, along with some moving drums that either shift back and forth or left and right. Shortly into the stage, King Dedede will need to contend with some Clown Acrobots that try to get in his way. A few gongs are present on the stage to hit, and a Recovery Ring can be utilized as well should Dedede need a refill on his health. The goal drum can be reached shortly afterward by following the coin arches past a few bumpers.

Enemies[edit]

The following enemies can be found in Must Dash:

This new version of the stage spans a total of 46 drums from beginning to end, though these drums are more widely-spaced apart than in the main game. Here, the drums are generally smaller and more mobile, and a number of new enemies and hazards have been added. Most notable are the addition of blindfold banners that will obscure parts of the stage at regular intervals. There are also many more Clown Acrobots than before.

Enemies[edit]

The following enemies can be found in the secret version of Must Dash:
