K.Rool be so perfect for Smash right now given the recent "Rare resurgence" we're feeling right now.

-Rare Replay being released and celebrating the 30 year anniversary
-Battletoads in Shovel Knight
-Rash in Killer Instinct
-Conker in Project Spark
-Playtonic Games/Yooka-Laylee
-David Wise composing for both DKC:TF and an unknown Nintendo project.
-Donkey Kong Country series recent resurgence as well.
-K.Rool costume
-All the Rare developed DK games (besides DKRDS) being rereleased on the VC
-Phil Spencers recent comments about Banjo and Nintendo in general

This is the perfect opportunity to announce K.Rool while Rare is on everyones minds. Perfect opportunity to acknowledge Nintendo and Rare's past history together and celebrate 30 years of Rare only way Nintendo can possibly do by putting one of the few Rare created characters they own in Smash Bros.
Problems.
2 and 3. Not a new Battletoads game.
4. Not a new Conker game.
10. Doesn't really mean anything.

One thing I would really like to see in the future for king k rool is to introduce his wife. It was mentioned that he did have a wife, and i would love to see that character come into the DK universe. Like, whats a King without his Queen right? lol

"And the "my wife's going to kill me" thing doesn't necessarily have to be relevant in any way as it's a typically throwaway Reeves and Mortimer reference. British comedy, eh? It's all a bit stupid, but what can you do?" - Rareware

So what do you guys plan on doing first when K. Rool is released?
Practice practice practice. I intend for K. Rool to be a main for me on level with Bowser, DK and Dedede, and I've done a lot of practice with them, so there's ground to make up.

This is, of course, after the cheering and rewatching his reveal trailer stops.

Six and seven, time to learn a lesson!

Come on, guys, go and vote for him!

I get it, I get it, I will say that I'm in! But how can I be sure that King K. Rool may win?

I wouldn't say k rool jr. Since k rool is a king... I think the name of his son should be..... Prince Kruel :)
I'd have to agree, though I would say that it would be Prince K. Rool to me.

Having the idea of K. Rool's son I drew him and I'm giving him the name "Kid K. Rool"

So, I decided to take the K. Rool costume and play matches against the dark green palette swap for Bowser, as well as Dedede, to compare textures on the scaly skin and gold, respectively.

My findings were that the color of the dark green skin on the costume matches that of dark green Bowser almost perfectly, but there's a distinct 'shiny' feel to the costume's skin...it has the appearance of being slick and slimy, whereas Bowser's appears drier and more coarse. With Dedede, his gold is much brighter than K. Rool's, which almost has a bronze appearance in comparison.

Before release, I remember thinking that those textures would be re-used for a playable K. Rool model, but I guess that didn't end up happening. The costume has textures all its own, for worse or for better.

For names of a K. Rool son, how about Prince K. Krooler, or Prince K.V. Krool? (The V stands for very, by the way.)

That...is a very distinct detail. Good on ya, Sakurai!

It definitely demonstrates that a decent modicum of effort was put into the costume. It wasn't just slapped together at the last minute for a quick buck - again, for better or for worse.

Man, putting all that effort into a damn costume. Talk about wasted effort.

How about a daughter instead of a son. You know, just for a change.
Maybe Kremlings adhere to a patriarchal society and exile their female kin from positions of authority in favour of service as breeders for new Kremlings. We know they're a very militaristic culture and the only female Kremling seen in-game are Kalypso and Kass.

Damn that'd be some hella deep lore. Kremlings are cold-blooded indeed.

Hello all of you! Long time lurker and K. Rool fan here, and I've been showing support for K. Rool via the Miiverse picture contest and other sites. I think the next step to show my support for K. Rool is to become an ''official'' Kutthroat here on this site. (First one to song me wins a cookie)

Oh gosh, that thing is hideous. O.O
I think you might have misread that post, my good man. It clearly says that it is beautiful :p.
