## Trivia

* Bandana Dee is the first AUT character to get a track.
* As of Loser's Round 2, Bandana Dee has won by the closest margin ever in the tournament, with 50.2% of the votes, or a 1 vote lead.
* Bandana Dee is the only character thus far (and will probably be the only character) to have won by 1 vote twice.
* Bandana Dee is one of three characters in the tournament to be allowed to represent the genres in their source list, arrangement-wise (the others being Captain Viridian and Loud Clowns). This means that he is one of the few characters that can technically get an arrange of anything, as long as it is in the Bossa Nova or Lounge genres.
* Bandana Dee's Halloween costume references the Wapod from the Kirby series.
* Bandana Dee's colour in AUT is inaccurate, as he's actually reddish-orange in the Kirby series and not orange like a regular Waddle Dee.
* Bandana Dee is the only character in the tournament to make it farther overall than the character they lost to, with Bandana Dee being in the final four, and Viridian getting 5th place.
* Bandana Dee is the only contestant that lost Round 1 to make it to Loser's Round 3. Subsequently, he is the only one to make it to Loser's Round 4 and Loser's Finals as well.
