He's a brave warrior who may be small,
but his spear packs a huge wallop!"
-In Game Description, Kirby's Return to Dreamland.
Welcome my fellow members of the Bandana Brigade! This thread is for all of us who love the Kirby series and love Bandana Dee to come together as a community. Anyone is free to contribute to the thread as long as good netiquette is in place.
Bandana Dee, aka Waddle Dee, is one of the protagonists in the Kirby's Return to Dreamland game for the Nintendo Wii.
Kirby's Return to Dreamland isn't actually the first time our little bandana friend has made an appearance, he actually goes all the way back to Kirby Super Star, where he competed against Kirby in the Megaton Punch minigame. From there he has appeared in Kirby Super Star Ultra (important role in the story), Kirby Mass Attack (cameo), Kirby's Return to Dreamland (playable character), the Kirby's 20th Anniversary game (cameo), Kirby Triple Deluxe (supporting character) and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse (playable character).
Bandana Dee is a character that fits all of those four points. For starters, even though he may not be a character brought up frequently he is relevant enough to not be obscure, but under the radar enough so as to be surprising. He is a character people will want to play as. Whether that be because of his playstyle or character, he has a charm that will make him an attractive character. Not only that, but he comes with the ability to bring something different from a gameplay perspective that no other character on the roster can do. Fight using a spear. There will be people who will bring up random characters from Fire Emblem, or try to lump Krystal into the conversation; but Bandana Dee really is the only character who really has a fleshed out spear moveset that Sakurai can work with.
Frequently Mentioned Objections
1.- Kirby series does not need four characters.
There really is no way to tell since "need" is such a subjective word. If Kirby, Meta knight, King Dedede, and Bandana Dee were all playable in a roster with forty-five characters, that only gives the Kirby series representation of 8.88% for the entire roster.
With Mario now getting 5 different representatives, it wouldn't hurt to follow that pattern adding a fourth representative to Kirby, considering it's popularity and being one of the largest Nintendo series. Not only that, but with Rosalina being added almost solely for moveset potential, her popularity and important roles in the new Mario games (just like Bandana Dee in the new Kirby games), Bandana Dee seems far more plausible than before.
2.- Bandana Dee is just a generic enemy and his name is just Waddle Dee.
No, he is not just a generic enemy, he is now one of the most important characters of the Kirby games, he is more powerful than normal Waddle Dees, is an expert with the spear and is King Dedede's right hand man.
And also the generic creature argument is very bad, that didn't stop Yoshi from getting in, whose another specific creature from a race who got had a special skill or event. Bandana Dee is a spear-wielding master, much more powerful than a normal one, whereas Yoshi helped Baby Mario in his games, giving him much more importance than a normal Yoshi.
Another bad argument that is used against Bandana Dee is that if Bandana Dee is playable, then Goombario would deserve to be playable too, because some people think Bandana Dee is just a generic enemy with a hat like Goombario.
Goombario is not important, he has the same abilities of a normal Goomba and his only important role is in Paper Mario (Helper), he has the same importance of Goombella, Koops, Watt or Flurrie (Minor characters in a huge franchise), Bandana Dee is a Main Character.
And about Bandana Dee's name, his name is Waddle Dee in some games, but his official name in Kirby Triple Deluxe is Bandana Waddle Dee.
In Rainbow Curse it's Waddle Dee again, but that doesn't make his Triple Deluxe name less important.
3.-Bandana Dee is not as important as King Dedede or Meta Knight.
That may be true, but the reason is because his role as an important character is recent, the advantage the other two have is history, but now, in the recent games, Bandana Dee is as important as Meta Knight or King Dedede.
-Sakurai's Tweet.
This was for the 20th Anniversary of Kirby, Sakurai retwitted this an image of the four main characters of Kirby's Return to Dreamland.
Link:
http://twitpic.com/9e0k03
Sakurai knows about the importance of Bandana Dee.
-Kirby's Dream Collection Intro.
This is a game about Kirby's history, Bandana Dee's important role was pretty recent when this game was released, but he still appears in it with Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight and two Waddle Dees celebrating Kirby's 20th Anniversary.
-Bandana Dee's Roles in Kirby Triple Deluxe.
He has two roles in this game, even when Meta Knight only has cameos.
Bandana Dee is in charge of the StreetPass.
And also helps Kirby in his adventure.
-Stone Kirby.
One of Stone Kirby's transformations in Triple Deluxe is a statue of King Dedede, Meta Knight and Bandana Dee.
-Ending.
Bandana Dee appears in the secret ending of Kirby Triple Deluxe playing 3DS with Kirby.
-StreetPass Mii Plaza Hat.
Kirby, King Dedede, Meta Knight AND BANDANA DEE are StreetPass Mii Plaza outfits.
-The Official Club Nintendo Kirby Pin.
It has four characters, not three.
-Bandana Dee in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.
In this new game Bandana Dee has another important role and also copies of himself with different colours, just like Kirby in the multiplayer Kirby games.
The Bandana Dee copies were created by Elline.
Also, King Dedede and Meta Knight don't have important roles in this game.
IT'S OBVIOUS THAT BANDANA DEE IS ONE OF THE FOUR MAIN CHARACTERS NOW.
5.-He is a Smash Run enemy.
He is not a generic Waddle Dee.
Also, R.O.B. was an enemy in the Subspace Emissary yet playable. Plus, it really wouldn't be 'confusing' anyway since Mario had a Wario costume alt in Brawl and Dark Pit is a newcomer in Smash 4.
6.-Sakurai's Modesty.
That argument was stronger before Brawl because:
-Sakurai changed his mind and added Dedede and Meta Knight.
-The Kirby characters are the most important characters in the SSE.
-Meta Knight is broken.
-Sakurai voiced Dedede.
-Meta Knight has an unique Victory Theme.
Also, Sakurai worked on Kid Icarus: Uprising after all and look at the content its getting:
-Pit is getting an overhaul.
-Numerous weapons from that game are items and a lot of monsters are enemies in Smash Run.
-The game is getting a massive stage on the Wii U version and a stage on the 3DS version.
-Palutena is a newcomer.
-Palutena has TWELVE different special moves.
-Dark Pit is a newcomer.
How to properly support Bandana Dee
How to deal with deetractors without causing too large of a riot.
The fact of the matter is, sometimes ignoring the arguments can do more harm than good. They plant a seed against the campaign, and fool people into thinking something about the character that actually isn't true. (I was actually fooled into believing something about Snake once upon a time.. Another well educated user on this forum corrected my erroneous thought though.) This is ESPECIALLY likely on larger media sites, like youtube for example. (This applies to all campaigns actually, and can be used to prevent false information from spreading around..) Anyway:
- Pay attention to the situation. If they are just saying things like "I just don't think <insert character> will get in" or "I'm not a fan of <character>", there is no need to start a confrontation. What you really need to look for are the strawman arguments and other detractions. That is when you prepare to engage the user.
- Politely, and calmly take on the user's claims. Use the real solid evidence and counter arguments to shoot down the detractions, but not necessarily through cursing (Cursing is NEVER the way to make a point... It just makes you look stupid, and reflects badly on the campaign as well..)
- If the user prepares more arguments, proceed to picking those apart. If they try to continue to hoist their arguments like they are fact, even though you just shot them down, politely bid them farewell, and just leave it be. There is no reason trying to argue with a troll. What matters is that you planted your seed of reason. Most will see that response, and will know better, thanks to your efforts.
-If the former happened, continue to press on until you reach that inevitable checkmate. They will eventually start trying to pull out of it by saying the likes of "There is no point in arguing" or something like that. When they stop giving arguments, its not that they don't want to argue.. it's just they have ran out of ammo to argue with.. You have just shut them down.
-Don't try to detract from other characters, if possible. This is often the sort of thing that will start a flame war. If you start talking trash about another character ( ESPECIALLY in their own thread..), you WILL get negative feed back, and your point will be lost. Instead, keep detractions against competition to a minimum. ONLY engage against that character if it is ABSOLUTELY necessary. For example if they are using that character as the back bone for their arguments.. Even then, try to be nice about toasting them. Throw arguments as to why that character wouldn't get in over the character they are detracting. (Again, be polite.. don't necessarily flat out state their character will not join smash, as that too, could start an unnecessary flame war.)
Remember: Your goal is to prevent your character from being dragged down by poor arguments. It is NOT to pick apart other campaigns. In a way, think of it as defusing a bomb. If you go about it hostilely, and negatively, you could end up cutting the wrong wire, and causing the whole thing to blow up. We of course don't want that. Care is key in these situations to prevent campaign wars (and of course attention of moderators...)
On a latter note, not that it isn't impossible to completely shut down a user that is using a character to shamelessly detract another... (I for example shut down a user using Shovel Knight to detract against Shantae several months back. I won't go into detail, but... lets just say I slammed it down. HARD...)
All in all, the most important thing to take out of all this: Be calm, be smart, and be polite. If you shut down the arguments politely, things will be fine.

[collapse=Moveset by Brawler610.]
Bandana Dee's uniqueness lies within his spear. Without it, he is basically nothing. The spear must be used at a range as the most powerful part of it is at the tip. The tip of the spear will cause maximum damage and knockback, so getting close and personal with your opponent isn't very wise. While his entire moveset revolves around spear attacks, only two of his specials involve the spear.
Neutral Special: Spear Throw
Bandana Dee simply throws his spear at an opponent. Think of the Javelin Throw at the Olympics; the spear will definitely gain a ton of distance, but it may arc over the opponent. It is especially useful for gimping against characters like Luigi and Ness. Before you release the special button, you can angle the spear's arc and direction like Yoshi's Egg Throw. This move can easily be reflected from other reflectors, like Fox's Reflector. Bandana Dee will bring out a new spear when he throws his current one away.
Side Special: Rolling Box
(If it has an official name, I dunno what it is…)
I was conflicted on this one. I wanted to make it something else as I doubt Sakurai will reference Kirby 64 in Bandana Dee's moveset. The alternative was Bandana Dee spinning his spear around and make it act like Pit's old side special, the Angel Ring. But, I decided against it.
Have you played Project M? If so, think of Wario's Shoulder Bash. This attack will send Bandana Dee moving for almost half the distance of Final Destination if you keep tapping the special button. On the ground, you can even jump. If this move connects with someone, they will be overcome by a powerful attack and get fairly launched. Bandana Dee can move even faster with this move if he is on a slope! However, don't use this move to recover. If you do, you will just be sent down like Yoshi's Egg Roll. Colliding with a wall will put Bandana Dee in a helpless state.
Down Special: Megaton Punch
How could I not reference the game where Bandana Dee made his debut?
Bandana Dee will pound the ground with a devastating blow! This blow can easily cause a ton of knockback that will send foes flying! You can mash the special move button for as long as you like, but the attack will reach its maximum after 1 second. The minimum will cover 2 inches past Bandana Dee and have the opponent be slightly launched; this might be ideal if you want to set up a combo. When you reach its maximum, the coverage it has is a quarter of Final Destination and tons of knockback is caused; it's useful in free-for-alls, but risky in 1 vs. 1 battles. You can't use this move in the air.
Up Special: Spear Copter
Yeah, you saw this coming.
On the ground, you can charge it, but it will reach it's maximum in half a second. In the air, it's the same case. Since Bandana Dee cannot puff in the air like Kirby and King Dedede and doesn't have wings like Meta Knight, Bandana Dee has only one double jump. How does he compensate that? With an amazing recovery.
Bandana Dee can easily recover and make it back onto the stage like it's no problem! It's like Pit's Wings of Icarus, except Bandana Dee has protection and coverage thanks to his spear. When using it on the ground, you can move around as you please in the air. Just be careful that Bandana Dee doesn't get hit. He doesn't have any sort of invincibility frames during this move, so edge guarders may be a problem to Bandana Dee; a Fireball from Mario is sure to mess him up.
Final Smash: Spear Barrage
This is the best image I could think of how this Final Smash could work; Pit's Bow Special Attack from KI:U. I bet with Sakurai having KI:U on the mind, he may think of something similar.
Bandana Dee summons numerous spears to come raining down. The spears cause minimum knockback, but so much damage is in the mix. There is the occasional Gordo that comes down from the sky to send opponents to launch into the sky.

[Collapse= Moveset by Starphoenix]
WEIGHT: 3 - A litte bit heavy than Kirby because his spear adds weight.
SIZE: 2 - About the same size as Kirby.
GROUND SPEED: 3 - Just a tad slower than Kirby.
AIR SPEED: 2 - Definitely slower in the air because of his spear.
FALL SPEED: 7 - The one advantage his weight gives him is a heavier fall speed.
A - Uses one hand to perform a short jab with the end of his spear.
AA - Does a second short jab.
AAA - Unleashes a flurry of stabs with his spear that continues as long as the player continues pressing A.
Dash attack - Bounces into enemies in classic Waddle Dee fashion.
Tilt Up - Grabs spear with both hands and thrusts his spear into the air above him.
Tilt forward - Grabs spear with both hands and thrusts his spear in front of him.
Tilt down - Swipes spear across the ground, potentially tripping opponents.
Smash forward - Grips his spear with one and and puts his body into one large thrust in front of him. The forces causes him to slide forward slightly.
Smash up - Twirls spear in the air, catching opponents and tossing them into the sky. By "catch" think Zelda's Up Smash.
Smash down - Bandana Dee gets on his head, kicks his feet out, and spins on the floor with his spear in hand. Attacks in a pretty large radius.
Neutral Air- Spins in a 360 degree motion with his spear.
Up Air - Gives a powerful thrust of the spear into the air.
Down Air - Grabs spear and drills below him, sudden drop.
Back Air - Kicks opponent with the back of his foot.
Forward Air - Swings spear almost like a bat, swiping forward to hit enemies.
Neutral Special: Spear Lob - Bandana Dee will throw a spear in an arc forward. The longer the B button is held the more powerful the throw, allowing the spear to travel farther and faster. Once held to the max Bandana Dee will toss three spears that will arc in succession to each other.
Side Special: Parasol - Pulls out a parasol and slides forward. Holding the B button and the control stick will keep Bandana Dee rotating his umbrella a little longer in place.
Up Special: Spear Copter - That neat little attack from Kirby's Return to Dreamland, Bandana Dee rotates his spear causing himself to be picked up off the ground. Anyone caught up in the rotation of his spear will be damaged. If not careful the damage will be in succession (ala R.O.B's forward special) unless the enemy can break free.
Down Special: Megaton Punch - A golden oldie reference, Bandana Dee raises his hand above him and slams it into the ground. Any opponent caught around him within a certain proximity will find themselves pushed into the ground. Too close and the enemy will be seeing the end of a Waddle Dee fist.
Grab - Jabs enemy with fist
Forward Throw - Hooks a player to the spear and launches the spear forward, taking the player with it.
Back Throw - Pushes the enemy behind him and swings his spear overhead, launching the player slightly into the air.
Up Throw - Puts character on the top of a parasol and spins them around before releasing them into the air.
Down Throw - Throws enemy below him and uses the blunt of his spear to bash opponent into the ground, the force of which pushes them out the side.
Final Smash: Waddle Dee Army - Huh? Isn't this King DDD's Final Smash? Yes it is. It only makes sense for Bandana Dee to command a Waddle Dee Army. For what it's worth, King DDD gets a new Final Smash in turn. Masked DDD.
Taunt 1: Adjusts his bandana, and drops his spear. He nervously picks it back up.
Taunt 2: Lifts his spear above his head in both hands and moves from side to side.
Taunt 3: Plops onto the ground and starts blowing a snot bubble.

[collapse=Moveset by GamerGuy09]
Overview:
Bandana Waddle Dee (or Bandana Dee) will revolve around projectiles and mid-range damage. Similar to Marth, Waddle Dee's attacks will deal more damage and knockback when the tip of the spear is the point of contact.
Ground Attacks:
Neutral A: Bandana Dee thrusts his spear forward.
Neutral A Combo: Bandana Dee repeatedly attacks with his spear dealing damage.
Neutral A Combo Finish: Bandana Dee does a final thrust that knocks the opponent back.
Forward Tilt: Bandana Dee swipes forward with his spear.
Up Tilt: Bandana Dee stabs upwards with his spear.
Down Tilt: Bandana Dee stabs his spear forward close to the ground, potentially tripping the enemy.
Smash Attacks:
Forward Smash: Bandana Dee takes out a close parasol and opens it with force.
Up Smash: Bandana Dee takes out a parasol and twirls it above his head, hitting the opponent multiple times.
Down Smash: Bandana Dee takes out his parasol again, and drills it into the ground, trapping anyone under it.
Air Attacks:
Neutral Air: Bandana Dee twirls his spear to deal multihitting damage.
Forward Air: Bandana Dee pulls back his spear behind his head, and then slams it forward and does a full flip. This move can meteor smash if it hits the tip.
Back Air: Bandana Dee winds up and then swings behind him.
Up Air: Bandana Dee stabs his spear upwards.
Down Air: Bandana Dee does a small twirl with his spear before plummeting to the ground. If you hit someone with the tip, they will be spiked.
Grab Attacks:
Grab: Bandana Dee tries to lift the opponent up with a parasol. If it connects, they bounce untop of the umbrella.
Pummel: Bandana Dee spins and bounces the enemy.
Forward Throw: Bandana Dee shuffles the opponent and throws him forward.
Back Throw: Bandana Dee shuffles the opponent and throws him backwards.
Up Throw: Bandana Dee shuffles the opponent and throws him upwards.
Bandana Dee: Bandana Dee shuffles the opponent and then slams him into the ground.
Specials:
Neutral Special: Spear Throw
Bandana Dee preps his spear to be thrown. The longer you hold it down, the longer he will throw it. However you can move while you are charging, albeit slowly.
Forward Special: Waddle Dee
Bandana Dee pulls a Waddle Dee from his hat to walk around, similar to King Dedede's side special from brawl. These Waddle Dees are move aggressive, moving a bit faster and jumping towards the opponent at any chance they get. You have a 20% chance to pull out a Waddle Doo which works the same. You can only have one out at a time, and they have a "1P" icon to show which Waddle belongs to who.
Up Special: Spear Copter
Charge it up and let yourself fly away. Has really good distance, but it is very slow. Think of it as a mix between Villager's and Diddy Kong's recoveries, but deal move damage.
Down Special: Parasol
When used in air, you instantly take out a Parasol and float with it. It decreases your falling speed tremendously, and it speeds up your horizontal falling speed too. When used on the ground, you open your parasol to hurt and trip the enemy. If you hold it, it will keep spinning in front of you and turn into a shield which reflects projectiles.
Final Smash: Waddle Dee Tank
A Waddle Dee Tank appears in the foreground and fires homing missiles at the enemies while also blocking their sight. You can still move around freely and attack the enemy while this is going on.

Height: Same as Kirby.
Falling Speed: Same as Mario.
Weight: A bit more than Kirby.
Walking Speed: Same as Kirby.
Dash Speed: Same as Toon Link.
All moves using his spear have sweet spots on the spear point.
SPECIALS
Neutral Special (Spear Throw): Bandana Dee hurls a spear in an arc a distance that is half of Final Destination. This can be spammed to an extent, and gives the Dee a hover effect in the air. He can shuffle forward slowly while on the ground. This is based off of Triple Deluxe. (5% each)
Custom #1: Return to Dreamland style. Dee charges up his attack to throw 1,2, or 3 spears and cannot shuffle. (3%, 6%, 9%)
Custom #2: A combination of each! Bandana Dee can shuffle forward and can hover, but he can only throw 2 spears for less damage! (2%, 6%)
Side Special (Waddle Dee Leap): Dee jumps the same way as Waddle Dees do to damage opponents. This attack has lots of knockback but is very laggy. (16%)
Custom #1: Bandana Waddle Dee can charge up his leap to jump farther. (5-11%)
Custom #2: Bandana Dee spins his spear and charges forward without jumping. (9%)
Up Special (Spear Copter): Bandana Dee immediately spins his spear above him in this multi-hit attack that can deal up to 12% before hitting opponents away. This goes the height of Kirby’s Final Cutter and stays airborne with its hitbox even after the KO hit as Bandana Waddle Dee floats downwards. He can cancel the last part in favor of helpless state to fall faster.
Custom #1: Bandana Dee can deal up to 15% and more knockback, but the effect of his recovery isn't instant, as he must charge it up.
Custom #2: Bandana Dee gets recovery that is comparable to Olimar's Brawl Up Special without Pikmin, but he floats downward, able to change where is spear is so he can damage opponents from all sides, not just above him for up to 18%
Down Special (Star Shot): Bandana Dee raises his spear, and the same star used to damage enemies if you have no copy ability from the Kirby series appears. Referencing Bandana Dee being a boss as the star is a staple weapon that bosses create, he fires it forward by pointing his spear forward. The size of the star is the same as is if you swallowed a Waddle Dee. (8%)
Custom #1: Bandana Dee fires off a smaller star, akin to ones created by a bosses' weaker attacks. This variation can be spammed more affectively due to being fired faster. (4%)
Custom #2: Bandana Dee fires a huge star projectile, one Kirby can use only if he swallows multiple things or a big enemy. The projectile has a slower travel speed than the other projectiles. (15%)
Mechanic (Assist Star): Bandana Dee has a blue star icon above his portrait, where Little Mac's KO meter is shown. It generates food like this: the more damage/KOs Bandana Dee has under his belt he gets more food charged up, but it "powers down" the more he gets hit/gets KOed. It goes from from Ice Cream (5% heal; easy to get) to the Pep Brew you get before bosses (20% heal; hard to get) to a Maxim Tomato that he gives Dedede (50% heal like Maxim Tomatos; extremely hard to get)
Final Smash (Waddle Dee Hype Train): Taken from Triple Deluxe, Bandana Dee runs into a cave that appeared in the background while the fight stops, and emerges driving a huge Waddle Dee Train across newly built railroad tracks that Screen KOs everything in an area that is around the same height and width of 4 Bowsers forming a square around Bandana Dee when he unleashes his Final Smash. (30%)
SMASHES
Forward Smash: Bandana Dee employs his spear for a quick thrust forward like the spear ability's first jab. (20-27%)
Up Smash: Dee uses the Skyward Strike from the Spear ability’s repertoire; he moves his spear from one hand into both and strikes upward quickly. (18-25%)
Down Smash: Bandana Dee leaps onto the 2 stone blocks (summoned from hammerspace; they double his height) that he stands on during the Megaton Punch minigame while charging. Then he strikes down at the blocks which shatter into pebbles that deal damage. The sweetspot is Dee’s fist, but the hitbox encompasses a tad above him and around him due to the pebbles and shockwaves. If an opponent is next to Bandana Waddle Dee when he starts charging they are trapped next to him, resulting in the sweetspot. The charge animation is unique, as the megaton punch mini-game plays out next to him/above him, shrunk down, of course. (5-10% pebbles; 19-28% Megaton Punch)
TILTS
Forward Tilt: Bandana Dee stabs his spear like in his Forward Smash, except he keeps it closer to himself so he can angle it up or down. (11%)
Up Tilt: Dee poses the same way as he does in the Kirby Triple Deluxe artwork. (6%)
Down Tilt: Bandana Dee pokes his spear ahead of him. (7%)
JAB COMBO, DASH ATTACK, AND GET UP ATTACKS
Jab Combo: A- Bandana Dee uses a weaker version of his Forward Tilt. (3%) AA- Bandana Dee uses the repeated version of the Spear ability’s jab. (1% each) Finisher- Dee uses the last hit of Spear’s jab, an extended thrust forward. (5%)
Dash Attack: Bandana Dee performs the slide from the Kirby games. (4%)
Ledge Attack: Bandana Waddle Dee thrusts his spear above the ground in front of him before getting up. (6%)
Get Up Attack: Dee pokes his spear on each side of him while getting up. (7% each)
AERIALS
Neutral Aerial: Bandana Dee spins quickly while his spear is still outstretched, resulting in the sweetspot being farther away from Bandana Dee, making the attack primed for offense rather then defense. (13%)
Forward Aerial: Bandana Waddle Dee kicks once using both feet (10%)
Up Aerial: Bandana Dee uses his Up Smash, but in the air. (14%)
Down Aerial: Bandana Dee uses the Moon Drop from the Spear ability, spiraling downward and initial hitbox included. The second part of the attack has a strong meteor effect on the spear tip. Enemies hit by the first hit are trapped and get hit with the full force of the attack; they are not trapped if they get hit at any other time (like in Kirby Triple Deluxe). (12% first hit; 15% meteor)
Back Aerial: Bandana Dee bashes the butt of his spear behind him. (10%)
