Gordo is a regular enemy in the Kirby series and is notorious for being impervious (usually) to attack. Despite what the Gordo trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl says, they have indeed been known to move, either back and forth along a set line, bouncing on the ground, or orbiting a platform.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

Gordos appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl as a trophy and a sticker, and they are also used as projectiles occasionally thrown in King Dedede's Side Special Move, Waddle Dee Toss, and his Final Smash, Waddle Dee Army. The Waddle Dee/Waddle Doo/Gordo appears when thrown at a ratio of 35:10:4 (in other words, there is an 8.2% chance of a Gordo appearing). They have powerful knockback (the 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.
