(Pre-order) Amiibo King Dedede & Tank Star (Kirby Air Riders Series) - Release on 02 July 2026

Release date : 02 July 2026

Every hero needs an arch frenemy, and King Dedede is Kirby's! He calls himself King, but he doesn't have a lot of interest in ruling. His hobbies include eating, stirring up trouble, and yelling orders at his loyal Waddle Dees while bashing things with his huge hammer. In the Kirby Air Riders game, King Dedede and others can ride machines like the Tank Star: an Air Ride Machine that rushes forward on Boost Dashes. Boost Charges help it tackle turns at a rapid pace.

In the Kirby Air Riders game, place this King Dedede amiibo figure on the Tank Star amiibo to create a Rider & Air Ride Machine combo. Tap the amiibo to train it up as a FP (Figure Player), which will gain FP levels and machine proficiency. If you have another Air Ride Machine amiibo, you can place King Dedede amiibo onto the other machine to create a new Rider & Air Ride Machine combo and earn machine proficiency. King Dedede will retain FP levels when placed and tapped with a different machine.

Just tap an amiibo accessory to the NFC touchpoint to enjoy fun in-game extra features in compatible games on the Nintendo Switch™ and Nintendo Switch 2 systems.
