bandana dee is a bad character and a lot of it comes from what HAL ‘does’ to him. originally he was a joke, and a great character like that. come RtDL, this character is just... no. to start off, spear is the most boring ability of all the new ones. (thread)
for starters theres tons more characters that’d make a better 4th protagonist. Escargoon would be the go to if he werent anime only.
Gooey(preferably) or the Adeleine couldve made their return as the 4th character for that game while leaving bandana as his background role.

now theoretically, lets say bandana stays but he could theoretically be given any power since he originally had no spear. why not give him his own unique power? Meta Knight essentially has a unique ability of a fusion of wing and sword with a few unique moves.
also this is small but it’s annoying he doesn’t have an actual name. it should just be Captain Dee or something. his current name is the same thing as Meta Knight being called ‘masked sword guy’ or something. this is more minor but it really annoys me.
i get waddle dees are the goombas so they’re essentially the most ‘iconic’ but i feel a lot like Bugzy would’ve fit better for RtDL since he both suddenly disappeared and was a boss exclusive enemy with a predefined unique power up (he could shoot little bugs + use suplex)
they never utilize the waddle dee aspect of him after his boss fight in SSU. what if his spear ALSO doubled as a parasol and he had moves involving him spawning in other waddle dees he commands into battle? he’s clearly the head of a waddle dee unit of some kind.
and my last thing is:
how the HELL did a dee get promoted above a doo if waddle doos are just the superior species in every way
extra note: due to its 2D environment, a spear in smash would only act like a sword with a tipper.
