Say, if we did get a Diddy Kong Racing 2, and K.Rool was a major Antagonist/Protagonist, why have him parody one of the original games characters instead of giving him a new racer persona? or even Personas, tricky part would be what, and perhaps even involve the resurrection of the pilot alterego
The pilot k rool would have been an awesome persona and it still could be, maybe redneck kong could even be reborn if nintendo are stretching for charcters

As much as I'd love to see Ridley, it's pretty apparent that Sakurai sees Ridley as one entity considering the Other M design uses his Super Metroid inspired icon for KOs. Even ignoring that, Sakurai flat out said he doesn't think he'd work, and I doubt the SM design gives him much to change that opinion of him.

Anyway, Ridley is not the character of the topic, so lets shift this back to the other big guy.

Also, keep in mind this is K. Rool we're talking about, a character that is heavily implied to be demented. It wouldn't be surprising that he'd be unnecessarily complicated with his schemes and step out of bounds, and it shows.
That may be true, but when the objective is to kill DK, it seems to be a case of K. Rool grabbing the Idiot Ball to hold DK ransom for the Banana Hoard with the intent to starve him to death when:
-DK's already in a helpless position to where K. Rool could just finish the job through quicker and more brutal means. If the lack of complexity is the issue, there's always the option of a Bond villain-styled death trap. Hell, just keeping him tied up and away from the Banana Hoard accomplishes what K. Rool set out to do: kill DK through starvation.
-Setting DK free in exchange for the Banana Hoard would mean DK would be in a position where he could just get it back like he did last time. Rendering K. Rool's efforts all for nothing.

It's really not so much the fact it's a long, complicated process when there's an easier solution available that gets me. It's the fact the long, complicated process has quite a few holes in the logic that didn't require addressing in-game because Diddy and Dixie rescued DK instead of giving in to the ransom.

I think he just wanted to torture DK

Is he really the sort of character to follow through on his promises, though? It could easily be a case of him wanting to con the Kongs out of the Banana Hoard just to rub salt in the wound, maybe even to starve DK with the hoard sitting right in front of him or something.

Don't forget the part where K.Rool feasts on banana cream pie in front of DK's face and says. "You know, this is far too much for me, and I'm in the mood for sharing...." And then he gets the other Kremlings to do the same

Now this makes a little more sense.
Kidnap DK, then use him as a trade for the Banana Hoard to make him feel worthless (that he had to be ransomed) before he starves to death.

Hmm. I was thinking more along the lines of taking the Banana Hoard, then killing DK instead of letting him go.
I completely forgot about the idea of just taking the Banana Hoard and DK.

Which, of course, would show that Rool has some sort of clever thinking process...for a big fat croc.

KKR takes both the Hoard and DK, the Kongs feel bad for trusting him, DK himself feels bad for being a liability and KKR sits in his lair gloating about how he won with virtually no effort.

Only what a demented villain would do.

So guys, I've been thinking. and I've come to a startling conclusion. Remember that Super Mario Bros Super Show? Remember "King Koopa"?

As it turns out, this:



Isn't King Koopa/Bowser.

It's been K. Rool all along.

I should use this to go more with my username's sake but well, I just prefer Bowser's original game design instead.

Normally I'd point at his shell, but Konsidering K.Rool loves Kosplaying I agree
Honestly, how K. Rool functions, I wouldn't be surprised if ol' King Koopa from the cartoon was an inspiration.
King Koopa was also one to play dress-up and go by several monikers.

Yeah, you'll occasionally see people bring up the King Koopa comparison as if it's some damning piece of evidence as far as K. Rool being boring or a knock-off. . .like, "Oh, here's a picture of King Koopa in a crown and cape, guess your fat crocodile is a really bad character, ha ha."

Considering the ways he differentiates himself from King Koopa, I actually really like that K. Rool borrows that 'Saturday morning cartoon' trope. It allows for great and diverse boss fights in the gaming medium, especially when no other Nintendo villain takes advantage of it, compared to just being an aesthetic difference in a 20-minute cartoon episode.

Well, the lack of more Smash 4 DLC in general in the Nintendo Direct was a little disappointing. However, considering that we still know almost nothing about Mewtwo other than he's the first DLC character, they might be jumping the gun to announce another new character. The next direct should be happening in a month or two, so we should get a confirmation in not too long. Who knows, maybe Mewtwo and our King might even be released together!

Other then that, I found a neat image I will probably use for a new icon and a kampaign poster.
If you are wondering, these are official figures that were released during the run of the TV series.

Why does K.Rool's stomach look like a golf ball?

Wish I could get a hold of some of these. There's a disappointing lack of Kremling merch out there.

Aaaaaand that account just followed @BringBackKRool too. It's so exciting just turning on your phone and seeing that as a notification, knowing that the wizards behind some of your all-time favorite games are reading what you, personally, have written.

Congratulations!

With such dedicated fans, I feel certain that it won't be long before your beloved King makes a triumphant return. ;)

Well that didn't take long lol. Definitely great news that Retro is following the Kampaign. I feel like it's inevitable that we'll get to see our Kremling King return in glorious fashion.

What if Retro or Nintendo is looking at this very thread?

Also, can I just say that it really is an honor to be followed by the people who make your favorite games.

Especially when you're trying to get a message across.

I haven't felt this hopeful about anything in a long time.

If Retro or Nintendo are reading this, not only bring back the Kremlings and the King himself but please give Diddy a starring role again. Whether its Diddy Kong Racing 2, Diddy's KongQuest 2, Diddy and Dixie RPG, etc, it doesn't matter. After seeing that Nintendo direct and the absence of any functionality from Diddy's amiibo, I have become a sad panda.

We had some 'visitors' before. But that was more than a year ago.

This is bothering me to... I want at least Amiibo compatiability with the new DKCR. Making you able to switch between :4dk: and :4diddy: through using Amiibos, Rare tag team style. I just want :4diddy: as a leading Kong again, not a glorified power up for :4dk:.
