WhileSuper Smash Bros. Brawlisn’t considered the greatest game in the series by the competitive fighting game community, the game still has an active modding community even nearly 15 years after its original release. This is evident withBrawl’s hacking scene adding a variety of content to the game, whether it be new costumes, stages, characters, music, or even overhauling the game’s mechanics to be more competitive. Nothing exemplifies the community’s efforts more than the overhaul mod known asProject M.
Project M started back in 2009 as aSuper Smash Bros. Brawlmod that would bring the game up to a competitive environment in the same vein asSuper Smash Bros. Melee. Development onProject M sadly had to be stoppeddue to a variety of reasons, but Project M lives on through other modders. More specifically, Project+ is a community driven patch that aims to continue off where the legacy version did, adding in a bunch of new characters and fixing issues that were left to the wayside.

One of these is the fan-favoriteKirbyseries mainstay, Bandana Waddle Dee, who made his first playable appearance inKirby’s Return to Dreamlandon the Wii. Not only does he stand out thanks to his stylish blue bandana, but also his trusty spear, which gives him a completely unique moveset. Many fans thought that his spear would make him a unique playable character in theSuper Smash Bros.series. While he didn’t make it into the latest game, this impressive mod by King Bob Gaming shows off how the little guy works inSuper Smash Bros.Brawl.
Bandana Waddle Dee’s modded addition came with an animated trailer in the same vein asSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate’s reveal trailers, where Kirby, Meta Knight, and King Dedede are seen taking on various possessed warriors before being overwhelmed.Bandana Waddle Deethen saves the trio, thanks to some well-aimed spears.
This mod of Bandana Waddle Dee borrows elements from his spear moveset fromKirby’s Return to Dreamland, where he can it in the air or use it as a staff to fend off his enemies. He also uses a few elements of otherKirbyenemies, such as utilizing the Beam Copy Ability with Waddle Doo’s wand, or even using a Parasol like the Parasol Waddle Dee enemies. This mod is available to download right now, with theSuper Smash Bros. Brawlcommunity praising the mod for its high quality, as well as the impressive animated trailer that captured the dynamics of all fourKirbycharacters.
