Whoo, finally! The last video of the year. You have no idea how hard it was for me to keep tightlipped about this video. Every time I saw someone request a Canon or Cannot video about him, or whenever someone mistakenly remembers Bandana Dee previously having his OWN video, there was a lot of internal screaming, lol. Gotta say, grew to love this guy so much more after making a video about him! =D Also, as far as I can tell this will probably also be the last ‘standard’ Kirby Canon I could make until the next MAINLINE game. Please correct me if I am wrong, here are a few requests others had: Susie: Already talked about in Haltmann & Star Dream (In fact the entirety of new info in the remake was about her specifically) Gooey: Talked about all I could in Dark Matter’s remake Galacta Knight Remake: Currently, the videos Galacta Knight, Morpho Knight, and Super Kirby Canon all segue into each other. So I’ll hold off on this one, as the next game seems to imply him coming back in the MAIN story Mr. Star and/or Gryll: Pretty sure this request is a joke, but I could always play the English Fan translation of Super Star Stacker, just in case Animal Friends: I tried, MULTIPLE times. There is honestly nothing there, which is quite saddening. If there is anything else I have not thought of, please let me know. Thanks again for watching! =D

Of all of the highly requested characters that have yet to be included in Smash Bros. Bandana Waddle Dee, as well as Dixie Kong, was always a character I never understood why he was never included. Waluigi and Geno are exclusive to spinoff titles, Sora is owned by Disney, which would be a legal hell, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 came out too late in development for Rex and Pyra/Mythra, and Shadow and Dante have really no reason why there not in. But Bandana Dee is a first party character and Sakurai made him, albeit all of his character were made long after Sakurai left HAL Laboratory, we have no spear users in Smash so I would love to see him make the roster. As well as Dixie Kong, can we please have Dixie Kong?

Shadow and Alph would be great echoes too! And oh! Tails falls along the lines of "iconic character from an already represented series". All these characters would help the currently represented series feel a bit more complete.

@@dugoo3405 Ok hopefully this isn't too long. 1. Around the time of K64's release, Parasol Dee was the only Waddle Dee that helped Kirby. 2. People say the Waddle Dee had a bond with Dedede and Kirby but he only just helps Dedede in the cutscene where Dedede is done being possessed. Like any Waddle Dee probably would. Plus in ROTK, Bandana Dee is shown to be more on Dedede's side which wasn't something the Waddle Dee from 64 did. 3. We've seen Parasol Dee without his Parasol. In Milky Way Wishes. So why wouldn't this be the case for 64? Plus in the intro skits for Star Allies they show Parasol Dee as the Waddle Dee with both Marx and Adeleine's skit. 4. And lastly, in Star Allies' Guest Star mode, it shows the game they first starred in (canonically). Bandana Dee's was Super Star Ultra. NOT Kirby 64. So you don't take this the wrong way, while I'm not against the theory, I just don't believe it.

I think the reason he is worried he is "too irrelevant" is because Bandana Waddle Dee does not have as strong a presence in the gaming/Nintendo scene in general, especially since Kirby is one of the "top dog" series that gets easily overshadowed. Due to his simplicity some might find him generic; moreover, some consider his moveset potential lacking (though I would disagree). It's a sad truth, but compared to legacy characters like Terry and Banjo, or figureheads of underrated communities (at least, for the "casual Nintendo" side of things) like Dragon Quest or Persona, the Kirby series and by extension Bandana Waddle Dee mean basically nothing to people who aren't fans of the series to begin with :(

It's no wonder that they're all rivals and friends in a way! Edit: Also to add to your comparison, just like how Meta Knight is popular amongst many Dream Landers, so is Kirby! However, both King Dedede and Bandee are overshadowed by their compared other (everyone sees Dedede as a villain because of Kirby; and Meta Knight is popular for his hard work while Bandee has yet to be recognized for it as you said).

There is one thing to consider when explaining why Bandanna Waddle Dee became more friendly to Kirby after Revenge of the King. This mode is somewhat based on the Extra Mode from Kirby's Dreamland on Gameboy, and it takes place after Spring Breeze (based on main story which originated on Superstar, both games released before Kirby 64. If this is true, it would explain why Dedede and Bandanna Dee have never been direct villains for so long, their rivalry has been settled. However, this only speculation, and one can argue Revenge of the King takes a different place in the timeline (if at all canon), not to mention I have failed to consider Kirby Fighters or Blowout Blast, which may or may not (also) contradict my speculations.

Nice video, Meteorz. I actually recently found out something interesting regarding the Waddle Dee from Kirby 64, that I thought I might share here. If you go to the Character section on the Official Japanese Website for Kirby 64, there are bios for each main character and they are written in a way as if the characters are talking about themselves. The waddle dee's one, however, is written in brackets, and the only line that isn't put into one translates to "...And, that what he seems to be saying". Yeah, in that group Waddle Dee is the unintelligible one, not Kirby who apparently knows more words besides saying 'Hi' at every opportunity. Whenever that de-confirms Kirby 64 Waddle Dee = Bandana Waddle Dee theory, due to the latter's ability to talk, a possibility of Bandana Dee learning the language later, or an early character trait about their species that got retconned, I'll leave that for you to decide.

Interesting, it could also be a joke sort of like Kenny from South Park, where it's almost impossible to make out what they're actually saying since they have no mouth. =P

@@Meteorz Lol, now I imagine the Kirby 64 squad as the South Park boys. On the serious note, that website is pretty interesting from what I was able to translate, as it contains a few of flavour text, especially in regards to King Dedede. It's kind of a shame that people only bring this website to talk about the Shiver Star history.

I think the final dlc is gonna be bandana dee if it’s not waluigi. It just makes sense. The character is popular with both Japanese and western audiences, and doesn’t have much controversy besides the people who argue “waddle dee with a hat”. It would be a good way to end this era of smash bro’s.

I didn't think about it before, but it would make sense to "retcon" the generic Waddle Dee in 64 to be Bandana Dee, it would make sense and give the character even more history with Kirby and Dedede! By the way, since I've only started relatively recently commenting, let me say how much I appreciate your videos, they're always informative, interesting and really well done!

I just wander, how is he alive? Like, in Mario, you can make an argument koopas are knocked unconcious (besed on RPGs), or that they are teleported to the empire's castle... But Kirby straight up swallows them and makes them either into stars he shoots, or digests them... And you can't really say when the star collides with something and explodes into smaller stars/smoke, that DeDeDe teleports them and heal them in his kingdom, since He doesn't have a Kamek as far as I know... In other platforms, Eggman just rebuilds badniks, but Waddle dees are biological, right? Cortex's troops are most likely knocked unconcious, Razor beard has a robot army again... In spyro there are no reacquiring minor antagonist as far as I know... Yeah, Kirby is the only one of the big bois who doesn't have an explanation... What, do they have lives, like in Mario's canon? I guess they are part of the extended multiverse, but that would... well, in mario it actually made sense, since 1-up have magical properties, but in Kirby 1-up items are especially tied to him... I really don't know... Don't have a single explanation for how bandana dee lives....
@MGVoltJesk3 жыл бұрын
Simple answer: Gameplay mechanics, In-universe kirby and bandana dee may have fought in a traditional way, they just didn't make any special animation of him living or anything, most enemies in kirby don't die because if you scroll back they are just fine, with a few exceptions (Sectonia, Star dream, etc)
@Jann753 жыл бұрын
Personally, this is the reason I think that most of the things Kirby eats do survive somehow. Think about it, even if he is their protector, they would HAVE to see Kirby as a genocidal monster at this point especially with how little qualms he has shown about eating them for menial reasons. And I feel like this may be one of the most perpetuated myths about the series. Basically, it's seems to be consistently clear that they're ejected out of him. Even if VERY questionable this seems to be consistent among Smash Bros. and Manga - as well as Return to Dream Land and Star Allies that they appear to be eject what he eats out of him. Some manga depictions show enemies being ejected when he discards their ability. Even if the specifics are unclear, but one things for sure is that this somehow seems to defeat them.

I think Parasol Waddle Dee is the 64 Dee considering Parasol Waddle Dee pretty much looks like a regular Waddle Dee without his parasol. (which also matches Kirby's parasol so he stands out a bit.) And also, if a lot of people headcanon Parasol Waddle Dee as the Waddle Dee from milky way wishes, he might as well be the 64 Dee because they both don't wear anything on their head.
@Jann753 жыл бұрын
I personally believe that 64 Dee is not Bandee, as I feel like fans are trying to give him points he doesn't need, you know? He's good enough as his own character, and there isn't much pointing to it other than Bandee fans (not to say I'm NOT a fan of Bandee) projecting their liking of Bandee on any chance of ambiguity suggesting it, you know? He doesn't NEED to be 64 Dee, he's cool on his own merit.
