===''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''===
[[File:Deedee.png|frame]]
D.D.s first appear in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]'', where they try to hinder [[Wario]] on his quest for treasure on [[Kitchen Island]]. When one spots him, it will stop walking, hit its boomerang on the ground three times, and then throw it at Wario, damaging him if it hits him. They can be stunned and picked up, though they are among the heavier enemies in the game owing to their size.


===''[[Wario Land II]]''===
D.D.s received some changes in ''Wario Land II'', which made them and their boomerangs slightly smaller, and the latter spin faster. In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, they are usually given an orange, mint green, and dark blue palette, though four D.D.s in the level [[Defeat four ducks!]], where Wario has to find and defeat four of them, were given a deep red, blue, and black color palette.
[[File:Wario Land 2 E DD.png|frame]]
The D.D.s return in ''[[Wario Land II]]''. Their attack pattern remains exactly the same as it was in the previous game, though they and their boomerangs are physically smaller by a small amount, and the latter spin faster. Like the previous game, they are classified as heavy enemies in this game, meaning that Wario will slow down significantly when carrying one. In the [[Game Boy Color]] version, they are usually given an orange, mint green, and dark blue palette.

Additionally, in ''Wario Land II'', an unlockable [[minigame]] titled [[Flagman D-D]] can be accessed after achieving a 100% [[completion]] rating. It features a D.D. as a host, along with a [[White puff]] and a [[Gugi]].
In [[Defeat four ducks!]], the level's objective is to seek and defeat four of them. In the Game Boy Color re-release, these are given a deep red, blue, and black color palette.

Additionally, an unlockable [[minigame]] known as [[Flagman D-D]] can be accessed by completing the game with 100%. It features a D.D. as a host, along with a [[White puff]] and a [[Gugi]]. The minigame itself was a remake of the [[Game & Watch]] title ''[[Flagman]]''.

D.D.s[1] (short for Dangerous Duck)[1] are enemies in the Wario Land series, appearing only in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3 and Wario Land II. D.D.s are anthropomorphic ducks, wearing striped bandanas and goggles, and members of Captain Syrup's pirate crew, the Black Sugar Gang. D.D. wield a boomerang as a weapon and have an attack pattern reminiscent to that of a Boomerang Brother. When a D.D. spots Wario, it will stop walking, swing its boomerang in its hand three times, and then throw it at Wario, damaging him if it hits him. D.D.s can be stunned and picked up, but since D.D.s are one of the heavier enemies, Wario is slowed as he moves around while carrying one.

D.D.s received some changes in Wario Land II, which made them and their boomerangs slightly smaller, and the latter spin faster. In the Game Boy Color version, they are usually given an orange, mint green, and dark blue palette, though four D.D.s in the level Defeat four ducks!, where Wario has to find and defeat four of them, were given a deep red, blue, and black color palette.

Additionally, in Wario Land II, an unlockable minigame titled Flagman D-D can be accessed after achieving a 100% completion rating. It features a D.D. as a host, along with a White puff and a Gugi.
