Honestly not a fan of any of them, and am still in favor of Shovel Knight, but I was overruled, so I'll state my reasons why as well as a new character.

Madeline can't be accompanied without Badeline because well plot, she's literally a manifestion of mental illness and depression, and the game's dealings with that subject are the main source of it's critical acclaim, in addition to the music and visuals. I just feel like it's bee kinda taking away from the deep message of Celeste to have her star in a meme tournament against like Megamind, Robotnik and Larry. I mean... we did have Steven Universe appear before in KfAD, a show that like Celeste got wide-spread critically acclaim for tackling a controversal topic (in this LGBTQ people and relationships) in addition to it's songs and visuals, but Steven Universe is more goofier and less linear than Celeste when it comes to story, mostly in the first season which considering Steven's outfit and pre-timeskip appearance and yet the mention of Lion, SiIva seemed to base his appearance on.

Isaac makes sense but as Tony (i think) said, he doesn't really bring anything different to the table, he's already there in Quote's sources, and can't give any boosts unless it's rogue-likes (the genre TBoI is, giving him stuff like Enter the Gungeon but also crossing [reference not intended] with Nintenbros. due to the top-down Zelda titles) since the veggie crew already has Christian sources. Shovel Knight was there because he was basically like Space Ghost was for Johnny, a personification of the biggest new buff the team got despite being to quote Krabs "the obvious choice for the job".

I know Yooka-Laylee don't ACTUALLY cross with DK because they aren't made by Rare being made by (even if technically they are, it was made by Rare employees, just under a seperate name and company they persoanlly formed that being) Playtonic, just with being so heavily and obviously based on Banjo-Kazooie and literally having Grant Kirkhope in the project, it just feels like they should be in, which brings us to my character suggestion, a fan favorite that will still give Yooka & Laylee and excuse to cameo with DK....

Hat Kid.

I mean it's obvious, we partially have one Beta-Mix Phantom Thief in, and he's confirmed for cameo with them, so it makes sense to have the other. She'd still be there to justify the post-2010 indie platformers portion, but would also bring slightly more focus on 3D platformers as well, maybe bringing that from her Mashup Week source list, just tirmed down to fit our roster. (as that one was all collectatons, which obviously can't be in due to DK, Moneybags and Nintenbros having Odyssey and SM64)
