Except that example doesn't work, the head piece is 1:1 with normal Dedede, as is his main body. The main body of the mystery rider was formed from a ball of Darkness and it's form is distictly only barely similar to Dedede but is also showing traits of other things on top of that. Even his outfit is different from actual Dedede even compared to that version as he's sportting a cape(Dark Matter/Knight style), Several Belts, a more vest like chest piece(kinda more like a captain and more importantly a lack of a real face if you look closely before he shows off his eye. That bottom part is not a jaw or mask it's part of a Helmet.

The rider only looks like dedede in the vaugest sense of he's big and wears a circlet when this form may not even be his real one
