Remember not to be too positive, too much positivity leads you to disappointment, I was way too optimistic for Nintendog to appear as a playable character, ended up really bummed when he was deconfirmed in the pic of the day. Keep it steady.

Here's a weird idea. What if Bandana Dee is a clone of Chorus Men?

It would be Bandana Dee, a Waddle Dee, and a Waddle Doo? Or maybe just BD and 2 Waddle Dees.

I think you could make a cool moveset from that.

The Dees: ..... (no mouth)

I'm totally making a moveset for that though, it's genius! :laugh:

So I'm gonna say, there are 5 more characters including the Initial CSS leak. I think Ridley, Mewtwo, DK rep, and Impa are in. That leaves one more. I'm hoping for Bandana Dee, but I can't shake the thought of an RP rep/Wolf

Heh, heh, no. :laugh:
But seriously though, no. How could they be clones? They can't even speak. :laugh:

I'm not sure about Mewtwo though

Remember Helper to Hero in KSSU? I think HAL needs to make a whole game with that premise, with Bandana Dee as the poster boy.
But isn't Bandana Dee already distinguished as a full fledged hero alongside Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede in Kirby's Return to Dreamland?

Unless you are saying he would be the star of the show.

Why would Mew Two be back? He hasn't been in Smash since melee and we have enough Pokemon imo.

I'm still vying for Bandana Dee and *cough*magolor*cough*

I recall you saying earlier you were able to replace Kirby with Bandana Dee while doing the single player mode on Return to Dreamland.

In Triple Deluxe, would it be possible to replace Kirby's in-game 3D model with Bandana Dee's (The one where he throws items to you) while using the Spear ability to make it seem like you're playing as him? Just wondering. They have similar body structures, so I can't imagine it would be too hard to do, right?
Actually, yes, that would work. While I won't give much details on how, you can decrypt 3DS ROM files, which allows you to modify them. Kirby and Bandana Dee's bone structure are so similar that the hitboxes and animations would fit very well, although some animations may look odd - not because they're glitched or anything, but because Kirby is super squishy while Bandana Dee isn't. Animations such as the Kirby Dance may look a bit odd, but it's still possible. You could change a few things to make it seem like you're playing Bandana Dee - switch out Kirby's sound files so he doesn't actually talk, while the Spear sound effects will still be playing, similar to Return to Dream Land. Export out Kirby's face icon used on his health bar, and replace that with a resized version of Bandana Dee's icon from RtDL. Now, this would change everything in the game involving Kirby's model to Bandana Dee, other than the pre-rendered cutscenes. This would include being able to play as him in Kirby Fighters, have him appear on the title screen, and so on. You could also replace Bandana Dee (support) with Kirby if you wanted too, haha. If I were to do this, however, I would instead replace King DeDeDe from DeDeDe Tour with Kirby's files, and then change all of his files with Bandana Dee - this would allow you to play the main story as Kirby, and DeDeDe Tour as Bandana Dee. Also, the fact that all the collectable stars would be changed into DeDeDe's logo would look nice, and fit in better, haha.

If I ever import a Japanese 3DS, I would probably take this as a project, since modifying Kirby games is pretty fun. Right now, however, even if I did import a Japanese 3DS, I wouldn't do it. Not because I don't want to, but because I'm working on Kirby's Adventure, and after that I'll probably be checking out Kirby Super Star.

So yeah, it's very possible, and most assets that the game has currently would make it a whole lot easier than putting it in from scratch, but I'm not sure how hard it would be replacing most things that are UI based that involve Kirby, such as his face that's over everything.

---

Bandana Dee can't be a Meta Knight clone, as he doesn't fly, he can't use moves such as Mach Tornado or Drill Rush, and his spear is greatly different in size, shape, and functionality than a sword, so it wouldn't fit correctly.

Bandana Dee wouldn't be considered a "Chorus Men Clone" if using a gimmick like having him and two other Waddle Dee fighting alongside him, as it's just using the same gimmick but with a completely different moveset. By this logic, you could say Rosalina & Luma are re-skins of the Ice Climbers, although they are not.

1. He was only cut in Brawl because of time constraints.
2. Enough Pokemon? From the looks of this leak Mario has 7 reps (and one of them is coming back from Melee), 6 for Pokemon is fine.
Back to Bandana Dee, I really hope he's at least a secret character.

we also need more dk, kirby, and metroid. but we get 3 kid icarus reps while kid icarus has only had 3 games while these series have over 20 (except metroid)...It is kind of clear sakurai is biased and we are not getting any kirby newcomers, or donkey kong ones, or metroid ones

Why so depressed True maybe Sakurai is biased(I don't know why everyone hates dark pit.True KI is over represented but at least we get a fun newcomer).That doesn't mean we won't get a new Kirby rep(bandanna dee),Donkey kong(Dixie or K roil), Metroid rep(Ridley).If i was right didn't the leaker or leakers say that there are still characters to be unlocked that means they all have a change.It's not over to it's over.Which is in weeks so just hung on,

We know Sakurai loves to do interesting concepts for characters with a base theme:

  • Villager: Oddball
  • Mega Man: His Jabs are Projectiles
  • Wii Fit Trainer: Oddball
  • Rosalina: Puppet Character
  • Little Mac: Good Ground, Bad Air
  • Greninja: Full Ninja
  • Mii: Fully Customizable
  • Palutena: Customizable Specials
  • Pac-Man: Oddball
  • Robin: Full Mage, plus resource management
  • Shulk: Stance Changes
  • Bowser Jr.: Vehicle Based Character
What would Bandana Dee get to make him unique and stand out?
  • Bandana Dee: Three in One
I think the way Sakurai will tackle Bandana Dee is by allowing the player to control 3 characters at a time. This would be a mix of Ice Climbers, Olimar, Pokemon Trainer, Rosalina. You would be able to switch between the three at any moment with Down Special. However you will always keep the same amount of damage. Once one of the 3 dies, they will not come back unless all three are dead.

Bandana Dee is Agility, Umbrella Waddle Dee is Recovery, Waddle Doo is Power.

This is just an idea I came up with, something completely different to what we know.

However, this is unlikely because both Umbrella Waddle Dees and Waddle Doos are in Smash Run.

I know that is unique but it does not quite capture what bandana dee is all about, having a plain old waddle doo and waddle dee with him is just.... eh... like look at the characters we have so far they represent what they stand for. For an easy example look at sonic he represents speed so he moves fast, for bandana dee I see he represents an underdog so it would fit if he hit hard but is an easy ko and lets not forget he is a spear master so his move set must use his spears having a choir men play style is too odd and a miss match. :/ so no on the 3 in 1 bandana dee

Hm I'd MUCH rather have him be a unique character. If there were no choice or time and he were put in as a clone of Chorus Kids than I guess I feel mixed about it. I mean he he could still use his Spear that's important and if the other two character following him are other waddle dee troops it COULD be a sign of his leadership over them and command.

I'd still rather hope for the above.

Magolor: This is no time to stay in a starship, I'll fight by your side!

*montage of Magolor's attacks, subtly reveals he is a clone of Wario (replace the bike with a SPACESHIP)*

Magolor: Is that... The HAL King himself?

Bandana Dee: The Greedy King and the Hacks Knight of legend!

getting perfect backbeat in Dedede Drum Dash and Dedede Drum Dash Deluxe in those final levels FFFFFFFFF



Also here's the soundtrack for folks


edit:: ALSO guys, there's a Waddle Dee Mask in Dedede Drum Dash Deluxe and it makes a sound. This is probably official the sound that Waddle Dees make (weird right? They make a sound apparently) SO if Bandana Waddle Dee is in he'll probably sound like that...

It's a little weird how Kirby is the only popular franchise without an unlockable character.
Mario: Bowser Jr. and Dr. Mario.
Donkey Kong: Dixie is pretty obvious.
Legend of Zelda: Ganondorf and maybe Impa.
Metroid: Ridley is obvious too.
Kid Icarus: Dark Pit.
Fire Emblem: Lucina.
Star Fox: Falco.
Pokémon: Jigglypuff and the extremely likely Mewtwo.

C'mon Bandana Dee, c'mon...

Someone on 4chan is claiming Dr Mario and Duck Hunt Dog were faked to throw people off.

In other words, this means that Dr. Mario had artwork to be used (likely as an alternate costume for Mario) which was put and they edited in a picture of his own slot. Same with Duck Hunt, he likely had a trophy or something for being an Assist Trophy and they used that render for his "artwork" on the character roster.

This is probably fake, but it still is sort of an interesting topic. Along with how we haven't seen footage of those two either.

The thing is with the CSS leak is that... I feel as though I can take Little Mac's slot, move it down another row or two, and add Bandana Dee.

Seeing him next to Meta Knight just doesn't feel right...
Still with unlockable newcomers, anything can happen.

I doubt that this is the case. I would be surprised if they managed to get their hands on Shulk's artwork early.

considering most of the leakers seem to be grade A jerks its definitely possible.
it's odd they werent in the gameplay i do agree since they said they "had to show everything for esrb" or so.

So hmm hmm, much is still up in the air

Bandana Dee should be playable in your RPG. :p

He HAD a finished copy of the game. He just edited the character roster. If he unlocked the trophy for the Duck Hunt Dog, he could copy the artwork from there and make it look like he was a playable character. Same with Dr. Mario if he's an alternate costume.

Not saying it's 100% true, but still.

Then people will say Malgalore shouldn't be in the game, and then start to think Adeline was developed, and start and Adeline DLC campaign.

yeah that is wierd, why would he not show off duck hunt dog or doctor mario
Well he didn't show others like Dark Pit either. Anyway, if Dr. Mario and Duck Hunt aren't in, it's good and bad.
Good because more space for Bandana Dee and others.
Bad because I was actually excited for Duck Hunt.
