Who is Crazy Dave?
Crazy Dave is your neighbor in the hit mobile tower defense game Plants vs. Zombies. It's about...Well, it's right there in the name. Crazy Dave serves as a helpful, if not kooky, source of help to the player, explaining how to play and running a shop called Crazy Dave's Twiddydinkies. In the sequel, he drove the plot forward quite literaly, using his time machine Penny to travel back in time so that he can eat a really good taco a second time.
Yes, he's always like this.
How do you play Plants vs. Zombies?
The gameplay of Plants vs. Zombies takes place on a 6-by-9 grid, made up of tiles. You can place various plants on the field, each with their own special abilities. You must use these abilities to their fullest extend to stop the oncoming wave of zombies, who are out to east your brains. If any of them get past the line of your house, it's game over (Though the lawnmowers can give you another shot). Said plants require Sun to plant, which you can get naturally from the sky or by having Sunflowers produce it for you.
Why Crazy Dave?
Mostly because PvZ is fun. Plus, it would represent both the mobile industry and the tower defense genre. While Crazy Dave isn't the mascot or player character, I think he'd represent the series the best. He'd be able to represent a large variety of plants while the Peashooter is just one, and the player character isn't even seen, seeing as they're you.
What could he do?
To represent the tower defense genre, Crazy Dave could place down various plants on the field. While his specials are the obvious source, I think his smashes could work like this as well; He places the plant on the first input, and has them fire the attack with the second. Since they're separate from him, this would allow for some truly absurd combos.

Air Up+A: Dave holds a Starfruit above him, which fires five stars up in the air (2% per star, small knockback)
Air Down+A: Dave holds onto a Squash that falls straight down (14% with a meteor effect, OK knockback); Dave can let go by pressing the jump button or tilting up.
Dash Attack: Dave runs forward with a lawnmower (12%, OK knockback)
Edge Attack: Dave is pushed back up by a Spring Bean (3%, small knockback)
Get-Up Attack: Same as edge attack.

Grab Game
Grab: Dave pulls in the opponent with a Magnet-Shroom, and grabs them with a Tangle Kelp.

Forwards+Throw: The Tangle Kelp tosses the opponent forward (9%, OK knockback)

Back+Throw: A Melon-Pult slings the opponent in the opposite direction of which Dave is facing (15%, OK knockback)
Up+Throw: A Cactus sprouts out of the ground and stretches out upwards (12%, OK knockback)
Special Moves
B : Sunflower (50 Sun); Dave plants a Sunflower that grants him 25 Sun Points every 5seconds for 10 seconds. Dave can only have one out at a time.
B + Forwards : Wall-Nut (50 Sun); Dave plants a Wall-Nut that can take up to 5 hits before breaking. Tapping B near it has Dave roll it like a bowling ball (10%, OK knockback). Holding B near it upgrades it to the Tall-Nut, which can take 8 hits, for another 25 Sun Points.
B + Up : Blover; Dave plants a Blover in a Flower Pot below himself to go extraordinarily high at the cost of vertical movement. Planting it on the ground keeps it there for 5 seconds and the gust of wind can be used by other fighters.
B + Down : Potato Mine (25 Sun); Dave plants a Potato Mine with its antenna sticking out of the ground at first. After 14 seconds, it appears out of the ground and explodes in contact (30%, far knockback), including by Dave.
Final Smash: Weebo Wabo; Dave opens a jar full of three Power-Ups. The first one is Power Toss, which flings opponents twice if the first toss is successful (11%). Opponents are then taken into a cutscene where Power Snow hails from all around (41%), and then Power Zap rains thunder right onto them (14%, devastating knockback)
Gimmick: Sun; Dave starts out with 200 Sun Points with which to grow plants, the only way to earn any back being to plant Sunflowers (of which there’s one at the start). Only the Blover does not use any Sun.
Taunts
1: Dave looks at his reflection in his pot.
2: Dave babbles loudly as a text bubble reading “Because I’m CRAAAZY!!!!!” appears.
1+2: Dave tips his pot with his left index finger.
Winposes
1: Dave proudly looks at his taco and eats it.
2: Dave plants the last of a group of Sunflowers, who all summon Sun in celebration.
3: Dave adds extra soil to the Tree of Wisdom, which is at its maximum height.
Applause: Dave confusedly scratches his head, wondering how he lost.
Icon: A zombie’s hand grabbing a daisy.
