Why isn't there a trophy for Bandanna Dee in Smash 4? Did I just not unlock it or something?

Wait Magolor and dee Lor Starcutter didn't get one either?

Huh????

Oh dear I didn't realize that fact. This was such a shame.
I suppose Sakurai should make it up to him by including him in 5mash

perhaps they dont differentiate between him and other waddle dees

in which case we may be in trouble

Maybe it could have been the case back in SSB4 times, but I feel the Dee has had a lot more publicity since 2014, being marketed with Meta Knight and King Dedede as Kirby's main cast. It would be harder for them to confuse the Bandana Dee with a simple Waddle Dee today.

 

[Velvet Rebirth]

I'll admit I'm a big Kirby fan but around the time of Smash 4 I hated Bandana Dee and how popular he was. I wanted characters like Magolor, Marx, and most of all Galacta Knight and Whispy Woods. Though, I've been warming up to the idea of Bandana Dee, and while he's still not my first pick for a Kirby character (That'd be Whispy), I sure as hell think he'd deserve it now. The love and support this guy gets is incredible!

Agreed. His treatment in Streetpass Plaza and, more noticeably, the stickers in Robobot, seem to confirm him as main Kirby Character #4 pretty conclusively. Add to that Battle Royale and Star Allies, and he's looking pretty undeniable as a staple character.

I mean, he was even in Triple Deluxe when Meta Knight (not counting the mirror version) wasn't. Marx could be truly unique, and I want him in too...but the Dee has WAY more notoriety. If another Kirby character gets in, I has to be him first.

Nobody can deeny it.

 

[Eisendrachen]

I might, but I'll admit it might be reaching a bit, and probably just for the sake of Dark Matter or Gooey. Maybe.

On the other hand, the Dee has a spear, which is a weapon type sorely underrepresented on the playable roster. I will freely deescribe a fierce deesire to see a duel between Dee and Lizzie, now.

Kirby's 25th anniversary CD that came out not long ago actually has a song about our Bandana Buddy, sung in a first person by his voice actor. It's very cute and catchy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_2y3hWTZpss

The gist is that he trains every day because he wants to be a superstar, and he doesn't want Kirby to beat him again

That is, quite possibly, the most perfect theme song for Bandanna Dee I have ever heard...

Apple juice. It's perfect!

God damn it I CANT this song my heart !!!!!!!

 

[fogbadge]

sounds like we got a new top choice for kirby stage's music

 

[Wasoodle]

So Kirby Switch Icons were just added... They have magolor, those 3 mages, and just a Waddle Dee instead of Bandana Dee.

I wouldn't did to deep into that. Kirby, Dedede, and Meta Knight's icons are all the Robobot renders, but I don't believe Bandana Waddle Dee got a new render for Robobot, Waddle Dee did however, which is the one used in this icon.

I wouldn't panic. If you look carefully, you notice that not a single Dream Friend render got an icon. The 4 are just the amiibos.

Like how the ARMS fighters waited for the entire roster before getting icons, BanDee will get his once all of the Dream Friends are added to the game

I will just imagine that it is naked Bandana Dee.

Cool, I posted it in the Bandana Dee Twitter.

Nintendo with the official Rule 34! Too lewd!!!

 

[geoluminescent]

I'd be genuinely surprised if Bandana Dee wasn't added. He's practically got a ready-made moveset, he's a rising star in the Kirby franchise, he's adorable... consider me a supporter.

 

[NintenRob]

I listened to the whole CD the other day, really good stuff. Meta Knight and Queen Sectonia also have a song each they sing.

I hope we get Bandana Dee profile eventually. I really like his Star Allies render. Although I'm satisfied with my Kirby one.


KIRBY!!!

 

[Guybrush20X6]

I'm just a bit confused Magalor got an icon. Isn't that a little like Zant or Girahim getting one?

 

[skylanders fan]

yeah also the main 4 are also in there amiibo designs to and BD did not get a amiibo...yet

 

[Chandeelure]

Magolor is pretty popular and he was also

Spoiler

Planned to be playable in Star Allies, but was scrapped.

With the DLC being a thing, I wouldn't be surprised to see Magolor come back later. I heavily doubt that the 5 we have coming are the only DLC Dream Friends we'll get.

It's 3 actually, the animal buddies are a single character.
And they did say it's the "first" batch, so there will definetly be a few more dream friends

Wait, they're a 3-in-1? Wuhhhhhhhhh? I thought that was just editing tricks in the video haha.

But yeah, there's so many good choices beyond Magolor that could come back, we'll definitely be seeing him and others later. It's just a question of how long a wait.

For Smash, do you think they could call him Bandana Dee (like we do), Bandana Waddle Dee (like they do in the official games) or just Waddle Dee [but with a bandana]? Would he have a Bandana-less alt?

Depends on whether DDD gets his inherently superior side B from Brawl back or not.

Gets it back, he's Bandana Waddle Dee.
Sticks with ultra relfectable Gordos, Waddle Dee.

 

[Starcutter]

Well guys, I'd have to say this is probably the likeliest Bandana waddle dee has ever been. So likely he's in my personal top 5 likeliest newcomers.

While my opinion literally means nothing, I do think he's going to be in this one.

 

[Mogu]

Feeling much better about Bandana Dee's chances this time around, especially considering how he's so prominent in many of the recent Kirby games and has many moves they can pick from to make up his moveset in Smash Switch.
I'm a supporter.

 

[smashkirby]

Well well well...

B.D. even ACKNOWLEDGES that he's adorable! I don't know why, but that really excites me.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm putting my full backing behind the Dee for this and future games. I believe that Sakurai will eventually turn around and add him, especially if we keep growing support.

 

[Deleted member]

Bandana Dee favourite Kirby character for me cute but fierce King Dedede’s right hand Waddle Dee.

 

[smileMasky]

the anticipation of E3 is killing me. I get impatient really quickly now a days. I'm just hoping that he gets announced this E3 or with a bunch of other characters, like Chandeelure said. I mean what other time would be perfect for him?

Honestly, he could get announced at any point if he is playable. It's a matter of remain perseverance even when the situation looks unlikely.

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah let's keep our heads up his announcement will come. E3 is still ways off. So we got a good wait. But till then we will continue to support the Dee.

 

[Darktheumbreon]

Man this is nostalgic....all I can think about is the ballot, and the huge amount of posts made about BWD. Here's to him hopefully getting in this time!!

 

[Deleted member]

Yeah bringing back a lot of memories for me too.

 

[PhilosophicAnimal]

I remember that...this was like the second or third longest support thread on the boards. We've got to achieve that level once more!

The more B-Dee hype we produce, the more demand there is for him. Let's go, Bandana Brigade!

 

[Deleted member]

During pre-Melee, pre-Brawl and pre-Smash 4, we had a lot of characters with a massive and vocal fan base. Sakurai has said that fan demand is an important factor for considering characters. Melee included popular favorites like Bowser, Peach, Mewtwo, and Ganondorf. With Brawl, he added characters like Pit, Diddy Kong, and Sonic, the last one after he decided on the roster. Smash 4 came around and added Mega Man from the Brawl poll and DLC was loaded with popular suggestions like our DLC veterans, Ryu, Cloud, and Bayonetta. Now we know this ballot is going to influence Smash for Switch's roster, showing that popularity remains an important factor in deciding characters.

Now look at the Bandana Dee fan base. We are a growing group of fans who desire to see another Kirby character and now we have a definitive fourth that we can consider alongside the main cast. To boot, he has a spear move set that could not get more obvious for Sakurai to see. He has a future and what I see is a fan base that if not there yet, will eventually become one of the vocal and passionate fan bases of future Smash games. So even if he doesn't show up in this game, and there's a real chance he will, Bandana Dee has a bright future ahead of his and he's yet to have his best shot.

With this, now is the time to capitalize on his growing popularity and figure out how to reach our voice to Sakurai. We are passionate about Smash because we desire to see our favorite characters in Smash and now we can present a case for not only why we want him in, but how his inclusion will benefit Smash. So even if this spike in popularity doesn't mean anything for the base roster, let's galvinize to get him in Smash someday.

I believe they're trying to push Magolor as a recurring character. They're just taking it kinda slow. He's pretty popular and he's on good terms with Kirby so it makes sense.
