King Dedede has stolen all the food in Dreamland. In this dimension Kirby has lost and King Dedede has won in his goals. Mass hunger has spread throughout Dreamland as every scrap of food was taken by Dedede. Citizens grovel at his feet for food, as the gluttonous king shares nothing.

Heh… little peasant, are you starving?

he mocks you and waves food around your face before eating it

You can’t have any… unless you pledge your loyalty to me of course~
