Fumu is the other main character after Kirby.  She's one of the most intelligent characters, and enjoys things like marine biology and history, and basically all things about Dreamland. However, she's also one of the few people who really know what Dedede's like and is constantly suspicious of him.  She tries to get the others to listen, but they rarely do.

Fumu's a nice girl, a bit paranoid at times but it's hard to blame her.  The people she gets along with best are Kirby and Meta Knight, more the latter because she can at least have an intelligent conversation with him!

She's is also the only person who can summon Kirby's Warp Star, because she 'loves and cares for him' and Kirby's too young to do it on his own. Her relationship with Kirby is like a mother/child or older sister/baby brother type, and she treats him more like that than the soldier he really is- but Kirby doesn't mind.

Bun is in many ways your average little boy. (Who also is in need of a haircut.)  He's not too bright, he loves to play with his friends, and he can be a pain in the rear.  He's stubborn, and he tends to act before thinking of the consequences.  Usually he means well, but it doesn't keep him from making life a living hell for some of the other characters.  But he's so darn cute, how could you get mad at the lil guy?  Tuff can usually be found hanging around with a group of three Cappy kids- Honey, Iroo and Hohhe- and usually Kirby too.

Dedede is the ruler of Dreamland.  No one knows why, or even who ruled them before he did.  (He says he's ruled for 300 years, but can he really be THAT old?)  His interests include ordering monsters to try killing Kirby or just to terrorize the populace, eating, being mean to Escargon, and bird watching.  (Well, he IS a bird, ya know. XD) His dislikes include everything Kirby and Kirby related.  Dedede's very jealous of Kirby.  At first he was trying to convince everyone that Kirby wasn't a great hero by sending monsters to beat him, but that didn't work.

Then he tried kicking Kirby out of his kingdom- but that didn't work either! So now he pretty much tolerates Kirby, but that doesn't keep Nightmare himself from sending things to get Kirby instead!

Dedede does have a softer side- but it only shows up rarely, like when the entire planet is going to be destroyed by an asteroid. He might even truly care about Kirby, deep down. Is that the true Dedede?

If you think Dedede acts like a spoiled kid, you're right- it's been said that he experienced some trauma as a child that caused his mental development to stop! That would explain a lot, wouldn't it?

Escargon is more respectable a character than his dub name would suggest. It's pretty clear that he's the castle's resident mad scientist wannabe.  He has a wide range of specialties, from machinery to chemicals to... botany.  (There even seems to be an encyclopedia on that subject he wrote. It's not too surprising... He's a snail, for crying out loud! Still, if he likes plants, he has no place saying Dedede's bird watching is lame.) When Dedede isn't using something he got from Nightmare, he's using some weird thing Escargon cooked up.  (They're usually not any more successful.)

Escargon may seem like a jerk, but he's really a nice guy under all that- or is he really a jerk who sometimes acts like a nice guy?  It's really hard to say, but kindness comes easily to him, even if it IS only when he needs help.  Maybe he just acts mean to get Dedede's approval...? We may never know.

What is known is that he's very attached to the king- in fact, in the original anime he even says he loves him! (Though what he meant by that, no one is sure.)  Whatever feelings he has for the king, it's hard to tell just what Dedede thinks of him sometimes.  Does he just like having someone to boss around, or is he kind of attached to him to? We probably won't ever know that either!

For the most part he stays in the background unless he needs to dispense some advice or give Kirby a hand. Meta Knight is a Star Warrior like Kirby- one of the last ones left from a battle years before. After his comrades were defeated, Meta Knight traveled, hoping to find young warriors to battle Nightmare.

During his travels he was joined by Sword and Blade, and later they arrived on Popstar. Star ships are programmed to go where monsters are, and he found out about Dedede's interest in monsters so he swore loyalty to him, staying in hopes another Star Warrior would come.

Meta Knight is an odd one. He has an odd sense of humor and has a thing for being more random than mysterious, and seems to like compensating for his height- whenever you see him he's sure to be standing on top of something.

Some wonder why Meta Knight stands idly by while Kirby gets his pink keister kicked- there's a good reason. Meta Knight explains that in order for Kirby to mature, he must be pushed to his limits in order to surpass them. Meta Knight WILL help if Kirby is truly in danger, but aside from that he knows what Kirby can handle.

While some people view MK as completely unflappable and all-knowing, in fact he's really not. In the original, you see that a lot of things take him by surprise.

The mother of Fumu and Bun. Maybe a little ditzy, but we love 'er anyway! XD She's usually very laid back, easily pleased, and I'd say she's almost naive at times.  She also faints easily. Aside from that she's one of the few characters who bothers directly questioning some of what Dedede does, and that's usually whenever it might be something that would threaten her children. (And even then she lets him get away with a lot!)

And actually, while she does seem like a ditz at times, there are times when she definitely knows more than you'd think. She and Parm really make an adorable couple, too.

They both had starring roles in the episode 'The Ring Story of Parm and Memu' but it wasn't shown in the US.

Memu also cares very much about her appearance- she won't even let a few wrinkles mar her skin.  She's positively paranoid about that. (It's paid off though; she definitely doesn't look like a woman who's had two kids.)

Parm is Dedede's Cabinet Minister (not Prime minister as the dub incorrectly states) and though we're never actually told what he does exactly, it's pretty much implied that he tries to help out the people in town when he can.  Also, his job apparently means he gets to have a nice little apartment in the castle for him and his family to live in.  His family being his wife, Memu, and their two children, Fumu and Bun.  Personality wise, I'd say he's your typical kind, caring father-type- and more than a little clumsy. He seems to have a streak of bad luck too, especially when it comes to rings. =P

He gets upset whenever Fumu or his wife questions the king, which they do a lot... Though it's fairly certain he feels the same way, (how can he not when half the things Dedede does threaten his own kids!) but most likely he just doesn't want to lose his job.  He has more influence (if any) over what happens in the kingdom from where he is now.

The only Waddle Doo in the castle, he is basically in charge of all the Waddle Dees.  He seems to be fluent in many languages, including Waddle Dee, so many times he acts as an interpreter.  Waddle Doo is very loyal to King Dedede, though it isn't clear why he follows him.

Unlike most Waddle Doo, he can't shoot laser beams from his eye. Shame.

There are many Waddle Dees in the castle.

In fact no one has been able to count them. (but there may be over 1000!) All that's certain is there are a lot of them and it's because of their hard work that the castle's not still a pile of rubble.  The Waddle Dees don't speak; they just do what they're told and have a habit of falling on their faces.

According to Curio, Waddle Dees normally travel in 'flocks' until someone gives them a meal and a place to stay, and they'll settle there in order to repay the person.  So apparently Dedede (or someone) must have shown these guys a lot of kindness (so it probably wasn't Dedede) so they all stayed. And apparently multiplied like bunnies.

While the Dees are pretty tolerant of being pushed around, even they have their limits...

Lololo and Lalala used to be one being- a demon created by Nightmare named Lola.  Nightmare was angry with such a useless creature, so he had another monster split him into his two halves and he sold them to Dedede. Dedede was angry at being ripped off, so he gave the twins to Memu and Parm, back when Fumu was just an infant.

Lololo and Lalala grew up never knowing where they came from, only that they shared a very strong bond- to the point where they were never separate.  When they finally found out about their past, they were actually very happy to know just how close they were!

Lololo and Lalala don't have much of a role in the story, but they at least had an entire episode devoted to them.
