What is the name of King Dedede's fortress?

King Dedede’s fortress is called Castle Dedede. It serves as the self-proclaimed king’s home and is one of the recurring locations associated with him throughout the Kirby series.

The castle’s appearance changes from game to game. In some titles it sits on or near Mt. Dedede, while in others it appears as a stage, palace, or heavily defended stronghold. Its changing designs mean the series may depict different versions of the castle rather than one perfectly consistent building.

Castle Dedede has appeared in or been referenced by games including Kirby’s Dream Land, Kirby Super Star, Kirby’s Dream Land 3, Kirby’s Block Ball, Kirby: Triple Deluxe, Kirby Star Allies, and Kirby’s Epic Yarn. It is often the setting for a confrontation with King Dedede, though Dedede is not always the final villain.

Players may also encounter the wording “Dedede’s Castle,” which is a natural descriptive translation. The established English name commonly used for the location is Castle Dedede.
