I've just signed on to the board and I've noticed that there's no support for the Three Mage Sisters from Kirby Star Allies. That got me thinking: if no one's making a support thread on it, then I will. And here it is.

Introduction and Overview

First Appearance: Kirby: Star Allies (2018)​

The Three Mage-Sisters were the primary antagonists throughout the game. They are also known as the Jambastion Mages, and the Three Generals of Magic. They are all loyal to their leader, Hyness.

In Star Allies, the sisters were ordered by Hyness to find dark hearts, pieces of the Jamba Heart, scattered across the universe when, they went to Planet Popstar and ran into Kirby. They were each defeated until Zan destroyed the Jambastion before Kirby and friends manage to escape. They then flew across different planets in the universe until they ran into each of the mage sisters again who were still finding dark hearts.

The three were soon defeated again, but not before Zan begged for Hyness to help her. However, Hyness swats Zan out of the way, displeased with her failure before facing the Kirby and friends himself. As the heroes gain the upper hand on Hyness, his true face is revealed and summons the sisters to him. Hyness then drains the life force from them into his own, rendering them unconscious. Hyness then proceeds to face the heroes again, using the sisters bodies as living weapons.

Hyness was soon defeated, but not before realizing that there was not enough dark hearts left to revive Void Termina. So he sacrifices the sisters and himself to completely revive Void Termina. After defeating Void Termina's first phase, Hyness and the sisters are revealed to be trapped inside Termina's core. Kirby and friends soon defeated the first phase of the core, freeing the four in the process.

Upon Void Termina's defeat, Hyness nor the sisters weren't seen again until in Heroes in Another Dimension. It is revealed that when Hyness opened the portal to another dimension, the sisters went in after him. The three soon made it to the main chamber to see Hyness defeated by Kirby and friends. They each lamented about what happened to Hyness before directing their rage at Kirby and friends and attacking them all at once. After a hard fought battle, the sisters were soon defeated. But not before all of the gathered the heart pieces formed into one giant heart (assuming if the player has collected 100 heart pieces), and Kirby throws it at the sisters. The three soon wake up reverted back to their normal selves and have now become friends with Kirby.
Zan Partizanne
The leader of the trio, Zan is seen as the most dutiful of the three, especially since she is the one most loyal to Hyness. She has power over lightning and her weapon is a partisan, a spear-like weapon.

Flamberge
Flamberge is the hot-headed and aggressive firecracker of the three. She has power over fire and wields a flamberge, a sword-like weapon.

Francisca
Francisca is seen as the more calm and graceful of the three. She has power over ice and wields a labrys, an ax-like weapon.

What would their moveset be?
The three sisters are essentially one character, but each have a different play style and moveset and they can swapped between on the fly a la Pokemon Trainer. They can be selected individually as a character swap on the character select screen, or be instantly swapped to another if one of them gets thrown off the stage. Each of the special moves can be based on attacks in Star Allies but also each would have a different fighting style. Zan is quick, Francisca's slow but hits hard, and Flamberge is a mix of the two.

Entrance: One of the sisters will appear on the stage by their respected element and then to them drawing their weapons. For Zan, it would be a strike of lightning, Flamberge, fire erupting from the ground, and Francisca, an ice cloud.

Specials:
Neutral: Lightning Lemonade - Zan creates a storm cloud that shoots lightning. The longer the button is held down, the more powerful the cloud becomes to where it shoots lightning from both sides of her
Forward: Zan Zkewers - Zan throws her weapon imbued with electricity like a lightning bolt
Up: Zan Zap - Zan quickly zips across the stage similar to Pikachu's up special
Down: Sister Tag (to Francisca) - Francisca comes in with a downward slash before tagging Zan out with a high-five
Final Smash: Drum N' Waste - Zan takes out her thunder drums and shoots balls of electricity all over the stage that do great amounts of damage

Final Smash (when held down): Jamba Barrage - One of the sisters charges towards an opponent or multiple, taking them to a different area. Francisca attacks first with an uppercut sending them up into the air before slamming them to the ground with an overhead strike. Flamberge comes in with a series of flaming slash attacks before the last strike sends them flying backwards, and Zan zips through them slashing them in the process before slashing them back to the ground. All three sisters float in the air imbuing their weapons with their respective elements before firing at the downed opponents with a mix of lightning, fire, and ice shards

Why should they be in Smash?
Like many new characters, one thing that comes to mind is, what potential do they have? What lasting impact would they have? So far, the sisters have received quite a small fan base as of right now. It would be interesting to see how they would play out as Smash characters, and that it's always nice to see more Kirby characters in on the action like Bandana Dee, Adeleine and Ribbon, even Marx among others.

The Counterargument
Since their appearance is very recent, they're overall lasting impact is minimum at best, especially when you compare it to characters who have been around longer like Kirby and Meta Knight.

I think these three would be a great addition to the Smash roster, as they would represent modern Kirby games and give Kirby a real antagonist in Smash (Dedede and Meta Knight aren't really antagonists at this point).
