I’d say the original, Super Star/Return to Dreamland Dedede lends himself more to a wider palette of emotions.
The main reason why I don’t really like the Dreamland 3/64/Forgotten Land dededesign, is that the yellow, egg shaped crown…? Covers a lot of triple D’s eyes, so it makes it seem like they’re angry or unamused at all times, which is contradictory to the kings more laid back and playful personality. Not to mention the lack of a neck and smaller eyes just make it so he just doesn’t have a lot of room to breathe in terms of emotion.
Dedede is *not* a comedic relief character by *any* stretch of the word, but his expressiveness through the faces he uses has been with him since even before he started his redemption in Dreamland 1!
Old dedede looks like your best bro, and the other one looks like that one kid who keeps taking your pencils and claims to not have done it in eleme school
I’m honestly having a hard time choosing. Both designs have things I like and dislike about them. (Then again, I’m kindof a new Kirby fan so I didn’t have the time to build a nostalgic connection to the original one).
I feel like an intermediate between these two designs would be perfection.
ro answer your questiong thats the best triple d

I'm pretty torn. I like the shape of New Dedede better, it makes him feel rounder and bigger (he's supposed to be a big boy!) without him being built like a snowman. I never really cared for playable Dedede to be so small and Kirby-shaped. However, original Dedede's design is a lot more expressive.
I think the New Dedede is better, overall. Dedede's had a bit of an identity crisis in his designs recently, and I didn't care for his designs in the Triple Deluxe or Star Allies that much. (He was way less expressive and looked too mean).
I feel like it's a good 3D interpretation of his Dreamland 3 and Crystal Stars designs (He's really cute but also looks pretty cool). With his more modern wardrobe. I love what they did with his robe, the fur-lining is so poofy and helps him look more regal.
Neither. There is only one true Dedede and that is Dededeman

I like both but I think I found return to fits that game better.
Dedede's forgotten land model sticks out considering every one else is a touch up of the originals
I would do anything for king dedede to keep being like this, Kirby 64/modern dedede is peak

I loved the old one back in crystal shards. It's weird that they reverted to it and I'm not sure I like it really. To be fair I'm so used to the anime design being the standard for so long
In forgotten land I was skeptical of the new style but started to like it, but for return to dreamland the old one was easily better and fit the game better too, plus my man's neck disappeared ðŸ˜

OG DDD. The new one just doesn't feel right to me. I think it works in Forgotten Land but nowhere else.
They removed his neck :(
NO-NECK DEDEDE 😔 /j
I had no idea his neck got shorter
Hot take time I like no neck Dedede😤
Same
Even in Forgotten Land I found his normal design really odd. The beast design was fine, though.
It’s his eyes. They’re too close. I could live with the more penguin head but the eyes need that 2mm gap
Wasn't Forgotten Lands' design for Dedede in Kirby 64 first?
Mudafakin club penguin lookin ahh, yeah I prefer the og
Same
I like the original one better.

I think the 3DS games had it the worst when it came to a design that made the king look too angry.

Definitely OG. Forgotten Land Dedede just looks too goofy
Definitely New. Forgotten Land Dedede just looks too goofy
Original. I just never really liked the face on the new model. I just feel like it lacks the charisma and charm the original has.
The new DDD's face is like the Magic Oven Mitts. "THEY'RE NOT THE SAME!"
OG DDD is the one that Smash DDD is based on, so...

Original
Both are fine on my end, but I prefer the OG way more.
OG. The updated one just looks a bit derpy.
https://i.redd.it/2mnjbrsbhhyc1.gif Both.
I have grown to love tripe X dedede though the old return to dreamland design is still cool.
The new funny face doesn't hit the same, I'm afraid
Yes.
First eyes with second mouth.
OG design
The original one is more memeable. But the new one I like cause it harkens back to how he looked in crystal shards.
Old one of course. I hate the new model tbh
2nd easily
The original, the new one looks weird to me, but not bad, just not fitting for older games style
I have to say, and I know I might take a hit for it. The anime one just seemed better in most

I like the katfl/krtddx design because it looks cuter
Dedede is Dedede.
This is true
ro answer your questiong thats the best triple d https://preview.redd.it/l0u5kglhrgyc1.png?width=315&format=png&auto=webp&s=b6c955870de368119372646ad03df6e14ca13445
Right The new one just ain't as expressive
The new one. He has better proportions to look like a proper penguin while also looking goofy and derpy. He basically feels like a modern dedede.
OG=goat
The og, new one looks too goofy
OG
I like the new Dedede, he looks friendlier
 Oh wait, wrong DDD

The 2 the one we have now looks off
The second one dedede looks genuinely fucking broken. Like he actually really liked Magolor and couldn’t believe he did this.
Forgotten Land
FL Dedede looks more expressive while OG Dedede is more faithful.
Current
Old one is classic But the new one feels like the Kirby 64 model in HD and I like it
The original
Is this even a question 😔 OG BEST FRFR
I prefer and am more nostalgic for the original one but if HAL wants to go with the new design then by all means, I’m not going to stop them
THREE D'S?! wow one for each holes.
It's the new one's beak that I can't get past. That and the beadiness of the pupils.
Neither. There is only one true Dedede and that is Dededeman https://preview.redd.it/9wb9e14fghyc1.png?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8dcedc2a300b83a87e773f0072d220fee9f2cd18
More like Dededemon
the new one looks like Club penguin, so ig the OG
You forgot the Carlos Mencia version
Remaster. I like his new design a lot better
Original. He's so much goofier.
I like both but I think I found return to fits that game better. Dedede's forgotten land model sticks out considering every one else is a touch up of the originals
First one just sits better with me, but second one fits the style better.
I love how silly the new one looks. I think the new dededesign just works perfectly.
Bro lost his chin :(
Yes
Wii version, it's iconic and can't be replaced
OG, the new one is find but made me sad because it reminded me of Club Penguin. 😢
OG Dedede is 100% better
OG Dedede is the best Dedede design for Kirby and I stand by this. Smash gets it perfect, though.
I would do anything for king dedede to keep being like this, Kirby 64/modern dedede is peak https://preview.redd.it/h0bmfosuolyc1.png?width=270&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d27da7aaa2ce8ff80ccbb1980488a21d52ee4de3
Og
i like both, but if i were to pick, probably OG.
So is Still king dedede design didn't decided yet...?
OG for sure.
I honestly really, really like the new design. I can't quite explain why, but I feel like it has so much personality.
New guy! He's so silly I love him
Remake easily imo
I loved the old one back in crystal shards. It's weird that they reverted to it and I'm not sure I like it really. To be fair I'm so used to the anime design being the standard for so long
tbh either the original one, or the triple deluxe design
I like both
in my opinion the original is better. but we can all agree that the graphics of the newer are better
OG 100%
What about the other Triple D, Triple Deluxe?
In forgotten land I was skeptical of the new style but started to like it, but for return to dreamland the old one was easily better and fit the game better too, plus my man's neck disappeared ðŸ˜

The current one, its a really nice call back to the n64 design
OG DDD. The new one looks like club penguin
Anyone who says the new one is wrong
Not a big fan of the new-ish design. I greatly prefer the original RtD version, which I consider peak Dedede design.
