Kirby: The King’s Gambit

Kirby vs King Dedede is a match-up that always thrills. The only thing is the result is always the same: Kirby smash Dedede. They’ve tried cage matching, gourmet racing, star stacking, air riding, pinballing, dream coursing, flagballing, smash brawling, sword sparring, quick drawing, and the winner never changes. Today is different: King Dedede is about to send this pink puffball to Kirby dreamland in a game of chess! You heard that right; Kirbs will feel the roar of Dedede at the chess board (and we obviously mean a metaphorical roar… top chess isn’t terribly boisterous at the best of times). Although… sure, the fluffy vacuum cleaner doesn’t play chess most weekends, but there is still a chance he could get the victory. I guess you’re just going to have to watch the video to find out.
