King Dedede throwing a Gordo in SSBB.

Gordo is a regular enemy in the Kirby universe and is notorious for being impervious to attack. They are used as projectiles occasionally thrown in King Dedede's Side Special Move, Waddle Dee Toss, and also occasionally appear during his Final Smash, Waddle Dee Army. The Waddle Dee/Waddle Doo/Gordo appears when thrown at a ratio of 35:10:4, with a Gordo having an 8.2% chance of appearing. They have powerful knockback (greatest of the three) that propels opponents upward. Unlike King Dedede's other minions, a thrown Gordo can be reflected back at the user. A thrown Gordo will bounce once, then disappear the next time it touches the ground. Gordo also appears as a sticker.

Trivia

• Despite what its Trophy says, they have indeed been known to move, either back and forth along a set line, bouncing on the ground, or orbiting a platform.
• If a Gordo hits an opponent's shield at the proper angle, it will continuously travel through the air in a straight path without landing or disappearing until it travels off of the screen.
• The Subspace Army enemy Jyk is possibly based off of the Gordo.
• Gordos also appear as enemies in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins for Game Boy. It is Gordo's only appearance outside of a Kirby or Smash Bros. game.
• Gordos are named after the Spanish word for "fat".
