If you hate Pyra and Mythra but wanted Banjo, then you have no right to complain...

Hasn’t Smash added old characters since day one?
Did people in 2008 have an aneurysm at Pit being absent for 22 years before joining Brawl?

I mean...
Banjo is cool and all but I wouldn't really call him ICONIC.
Nicholas Richardson
He's just boring to play.
Lincoln Rogers
I'm sure this is bait but I'll still reply
I asked why were people shitting on Banjo, how did you translate that to "I FUCKING BANJO"
I like Banjo, and I'm happy that he is in smash
Jackson Lopez
I consider Banjo a retired legacy Nintendo character + proxy 4th DK character.
His addition is in the vein of say, Advance Wars/Golden Sun/WaveRace etc
Luke Russell
To be fair, he made much more sense as an iconic addition when the game was more of a celebration of Nintendo history. We’re now at the point where big third party icons like Snake and Sephiroth are in, and we keep getting characters with no legacy (Corrin, Min Min, Pyra, etc).
Jonathan Ross
Why do people keep insisting banjo is iconic? You can like him, you can call the game a classic, but it's never been iconic. It was on the n64 which didn't sell all to well, and on top of it it barely broke into the top ten selling and only sold about 3.65 million. It just wasn't that popular of a game. And it's sequal was even less popular. The game is over 20 years old at this point if it was truly iconic he's be recognized by kids. Kids recognize sonic, Mario, pacman, etc. And if he's iconic for gamers he'd at least be recognized by the teenage sect of Gen Z who's trying to define their lives around games and shitposting. But even there banjo doesn't fit because at the end of the day his game did not leave a lasting legacy. It's no Mario 64, it's no pac man, it's no street fighter, it's no halo or doom or whatever. Banjo just isn't iconic. At best it's a cult classic on the n64.

He was an outlier, not the rule. And he hardly compares to what JRPG's have visually become today.
