i was indeed, the pin look niceI presume that you were also waiting for the bundle on Nintendo UK's official online-store?
I got my pre-order in there, today, too. I really like the look of that set of pins.
You have to create a European account first, since it's exclusive to that region's eShop.
As Xeno VII notes above, it's only present on the eShop for the UK and Europe right now. It looks like it'll hit North America on March 4th.
OK, that is interesting.Speaking of Bandana Dee in Star Allies...

He only appears at the start and the rest of the video is about Amiibo functionality
It's worth noting BD is the Spear Helper rather than someone like Pierce or Lanzer
I also thought Spear wasn't going to be in the game but that is DEFINITELY a Spear
It wasn't.
That's exactly what it is. Characters' colours get changed up depending on which player they are.So in other words, I think Spear is a Bandana Dee exclusive ability and he is that color because he isn't P1 maybe? I'm not too sure about that tbh, but it kinda makes sense
Well then, that means Archer might still be in the game after all. That's a relief!
I know! It's absolutely amazing based on the demo. I especially like the Dedede Castle theme and Adventure Wii forest remix.
Nah, something else is clearly going on here. If he was JUST a spear helper, we would have heard about both Spear and of him before now. We were told there were 28 abilities in the game and if spear is just a regular ability than that makes 29.
No, not yet.
After how they wouldn't even have him slot-share with regular common Waddle Dees who are unrelated to him in Kirby Battle Royale, I doubt that.
To be fair, while not a common "enemy" since they were player characters, Rainbow Curse already basically showed that more than one "Bandana Waddle Dee" exists.
It's not. There's only one Bandana Waddle Dee.
That's just for the sake of multi-player. I mean Kirby 64 had multiple Adeleines and King Dedede in its multi-player.
Are you sure that's canon?It's not. There's only one Bandana Waddle Dee.
They actually went out of their way to have the promotional materials for Kirby and the Rainbow Curse provide an official explanation for that gameplay-mechanic.

The two copies are known colloquially as "Error Dee" and "Ham Dee".
I haven't got a clue if it's canonical, but it's still official promotional literature that's clearly intended to explain this particular one-off game-mechanic (I never bought the game as it never interested me).
Multiple games have shown Kirby and Bandana Waddle Dee playing DSes and 3DSes together, after all, and Kirby Super Deluxe featured an accurate representation of the then-current version of MacOS as one of its bosses.
Isn't that like saying more than one Kirby, Meta Knight and Dedede exist?
The point was the fact that the other Waddle Dees were treated as individuals much like Blue Toad and Yellow Toad.Isn't that like saying more than one Kirby, Meta Knight and Dedede exist?
Because we have seen copies of them with different colours when you play multiplayer.
It's just a multiplayer thing that is not really canon.

Luigi is not an unique character confirmed.
I'm not sure that I'd refer to light-hearted comedic descriptions of in-game collectible items as factual bios, personally.
He could be a miniboss counterpart to Kawasaki, Bonkers, and Bugzy as well. But even THEY get Kirby's copy ability hat when they become Allies. So the thing is either Kirby's new "Spear" hat is Bandana Dee's bandanna, or Bandana Dee is a unique and distinctive ally that might not be a common enemy or miniboss at all.
We don't know what his role is yet, but he definitely seems to be a special case and NOT just the a spear helper. Spear hasn't even been seen in this yet and as you said, he doesn't have the spear hat. If spear was an ability, it would contradict what was previously said (28 abilities). It seems to be exclusive for Bandana Dee
It was never stated there would ONLY be 28 Abilities, apparently.
Or it implies something more simple: That the game's interface is consistent, and that alternate palettes are applied in the same way to major characters as they are to allies, based on which player has picked them up.
Why would that need to be a thing if only one player can be Bandana Waddle Dee?
It would be a thing because that's how the game's set up. Each player is assigned a colour, and that colour is automatically assigned to any character that that player is controlling. That's been made clear in promotional materials since the game's reveal.
