Potentially controversial opinion: Bandanna Dee is one of the only characters I actively do not want in the game, and I consider myself to be a big Kirby fan. People think he "deserves" to be in Smash because he was playable in Return to Dream Land, and I'm like "So?" Kiddy Kong, Tiny Kong, Lanky Kong, and Chunky Kong have all been playable at some point or another, but it's clear that none of them are super important. I'd argue that Kiddy Kong is more important to his series than Bandanna Dee is. The only thing he has going for him is that he's somewhat popular in Japan. Japan likes cute things. Big deal. "He has a spear, so unique!" The Bandanna Dee thread on SmashBoards is just the same 5-10 people shitposting over and over again. I'd much rather have Adeleine/Ado from Kirby's Dream Land 3 and Kirby 64.
