If you guys know any good remixes or just plain music in general that has something to do with BWD, feel free to post about it. We may just use it for the next Music Monday!
It's more commonly associated with Magolor but it could work for Bandana Dee I guess.

Maybe this instead? I've always associated Cookie Country with Bandana Dee, but that's probably just me.

In the mean time, while we did lose to the scummy Krystal voters, we have one thing to be happy about: Our campaign has officially launched today!

Today is Music Monday. Our first piece goes out to what would undoubtedly be one of the first choices of music used for Bandana Waddle Dee's trailer.

How about Attack! from kirby triple deluxe?

Megaton Punch transitioning into Masked Dedede as a theme perhaps? Mixing the two?
Boss Medley transitioning into the Main Theme for Return to Dreamland? That's how I pictured it.

Perhaps you could try you hand at a short tale which ends on a cliffhanger requiring Bandana Waddle Dee to join the rest of the Kirby quartet in Smash, and finish it up with a slogan or a line about where and why to vote for him?


Two suggestions;

1: The theme from Megaton Punch, since that was where Bandana Waddle Dee debuted.

2: The Masked Dedede theme from Revenge of the King, in Kirby Super Star Ultra, as that's where BWD got his first major role, and was set in stone as Dedede's right-hand man and a main character who has appeared ever since.
By the way, I started the story. It's coming along GREATLY-ISH. You all are going to love it. Trust me.

Snake Man's stage from Metal Blade Solid
You should have a listen to the version from Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe. It is absolutely fantastic. (As I haven't yet gotten around to playing Kirby's Return to Dream Land, this is actually the first version I ever heard, though I have since listened to the original and I love that, too.)

So...Many...Instruments...(Help) It's not that bad, but it's a little bit overwhelming with headphones.
For music Monday
And or this
Or this
Ooh! Top one definatly!

Smash announcement on the 14th!

What could this mean?

Probably nothing important for bandana dee, but
HYPE!
You know, I'm actually wondering about this... Since the Wii U version will be getting the Miiverse stage as a free extra, maybe the 3DS version might get Dream Land 64 (as previously uncovered when the most recent patch was data-mined) as an equivalent?

How would you guys feel if we got knuckle joe instead of Bandana Dee?
I'd be disappointed, as I've never found Knuckle Joe himself particularly interesting, personally.

That said, he's an Assist Trophy, so he probably wouldn't make it into this game, anyway.

It'd ironically be even worse than the "Goomba with a hat" argument considering that Knuckle Joe is just a Knuckle Joe no matter how you spin it.

Besides that, we already have Ryu on the way and Mii Brawler in the game. Knuckle Joe offers literally nothing to the table, especially compared to BWD.

Poor Sakurai wouldn't know what would be coming for him if Knuckle Joe got in.

I noticed that GameXplain is very popular and 99% of their suscribers are Nintendo fans, I think writing comments about Bandana Dee in their Smash or E3 predictions videos is a good strategy.

You can write "Kirby and the Crystal Shards HD plz! Bandana Dee for Smash!" or something like that in their last E3 predictions videos XD

Also, I definitely want this in one of the Music Mondays:

If you want a likely prediction, go with 3D, there, and not HD - every Nintendo handheld since the GBA has gotten a formerly home-console-only Kirby game remade for them, and Kirby 64 is the next game in line for this (something HAL is very well aware of, as they've been throwing out lots of references to the game for an entire year or so, now). ;)

You know if they remake it..This could possibly confirm that the Waddle Dee is Bandanna Dee \\o.o//

You just wait Chadelure. I'm almost done with the Bandana Dee story. Also, Kirby 64 HDee sounds cool.

Finally, this HAS to be on Music Mondays:

I wonder, if they remake it, will they give Waddle Dee a Bandana, to confirm that he is the one true Dee? Inb4 he's actually Sailor Dee instead.
Also how will they handle 02? I thought the ESRB was enraged at HAL afterwards or something? :laugh:

Edit: Wait, wouldn't Kirby's dreamland 3 be next in line? Or am I crazy?

Nah, Sailor Waddle Dee is one of Meta Knight's, and he aided Meta Knight in his attempt to overthrow Dedede. That's treason, and we won't sand for it! :laugh:

Whoah, you're right! I always forget that one, as it was never released in the UK. (We didn't get Kirby's Fun Pak until January of 1997 - it was one of the final overall SNES titles that made it to us.)

That said, there have been more references to Kirby 64, and they've even set things up for asset re-use by having Dedede's look in Triple Deluxe be a modernised reworking of his Kirby 64 design (which is strange in a game that otherwise shares its visual style with Return to Dream Land!).

There have been a few references to the animal friends too, though - just less of them. I wonder... Dark Matter saga remakes twin/triple pack, maybe?

The sad thing about the possibility of a Kirby 64 remake is that Meta Knight will not appear in another Kirby game, that would be like the third in a row :c XD

Current merchandise in Japan has the Kirby Quartet together, though. The art-style has yet to be used to promote a game (and there is a notable absence of bandana, which may indeed point to Kirby 64's Waddle Dee being the very same guy). I'm honestly expecting a new home-console title, too, given this.

As much as I like Meta Knight, I'd much rather see the return of Dark Matter before Meta Knight's.

Hopefully this E3 HAL announces something good, I don't care as much about what it is, rather more so that it's good. Another Dark matter Saga pls.

If we do get a game it'll most likely be a platformer.

And here's a little something for Music Monday!

You're not the only one. I can only hope that alongside the fairly likely remake(s), there's a new title that revives the Dark Matter threat (it would make sense, really).

Why everyone wants Dark Matter to come back so much?
I'm just curious :drshrug:
My reasoning is that there's a real ominous, nightmarish vibe to it that's the anti-thesis of everything that the heroes stand for, and the whole saga just gave the impression of something bigger and more overarching than any one-shot villain can pull off. The Kirby series is very good at the whole light/dark balance in plot - just look at Triple Deluxe for a good recent showing of this - and the whole Dark Matter thing is the archetypal example.

And of course, the notion of Nightmare returning as well, alongside this, could make for some epic games. ;)

He is a MAJOR antagonist in the series.
He WAS a Major antagonist in the series :smirk:

Meh, I never liked it
I always thought that it was an obvious, unoriginal and uninspired villain :drwtf:
He is just Dark Matter, you can't got farther than Zero Two (well, you actually CAN, but making Zero two look even creepier wouldn't be a good idea, specially in a kirby game)
The same goes for Nightmare, he is really obvious and boring IMO
He look more like some kind of vampire with a giant chin :dizzy:
If we're gonna get more "Darkier and Edgier" antagonists I would prefer the Dark characters from the Mirror World, Dark Meta Knight, Shadow Kirby, Shadow Dedede, etc
Maybe even Darkdana Dee! :awesome:
I don't really think that the next kirby game will be on the Wii U
Kirby gets his games usually in handheld consoles
The only main kirby game for the 3DS is Kirby Triple Deluxe, It wouldn't surprise me If we get a new kirby platformer this E3 :drifloon:

Then again Matter can never be created or destroyed (Which means he is still there) :smirk:

As Bill Nye says: "Science Rules!"

I find the mirror world really underwhelming :dizzy:

You expect so much from the fights but I can't help but feel Dark Mind (Phase 2) is just a Semi-Zero rip-off in my opinion.
Course that's your opinion and this is my opinion!

Dark Matter INDEED is still there :estatic:
Just NOT like how we remember him
Practically ALL of the Dark Doppelgangers are Dark Matter
How Dark Matter would make a come back?
If it never left us? :smirk:
EDIT: Also the real fight is again the Dark Doppelgangers IMO

Probably because it's teased and referenced all the time, not to mention it's a fan favorite .
