We'll probably learn K. Rool's fate within the next few days. It's not looking good. In fact, it's looking downright miserable.

[potential spoilers below] Okay, with all the info that's coming to light now, K. Rool's position in Brawl appears to be in jeopardy. We've seen the hidden characters, we've seen the bosses, and no K. Rool in sight. Can anybody prove or disprove the rumors that he is nothing more than an...

They are. It's clarified even in the original instruction booklets. For some reason the fella who put together that K. Rool page had no idea. Oh well, it doesn't really matter so...

It also touches apon his actual character, such as being ruler of the Kremling army corps (heh!), and hating the very sight of the Kong family. He's described as unforgiving, utterly merciless, but somewhat foolish. Cool, that's pretty much right on the mark. Oddly, the description then...

That's pretty neat. In fact it's the first piece of Japanese fanart I've seen of him. Looks like a hybrid of his original design and his new one. Can anybody translate what the description says? And I don't mean running it through Babelfish. Edit: Actually I just went and used it anyway...

That cartoon screwed up K. Rool so badly, it's amazing. Actually, I think Nintendo may have used that as reference when designing the Melee trophy and the recent 'new look'. It's hard to say which is worse.

I would love to see The Flying Krock or Krocodile Kore, since they were amazing battle arenas and more awe-inspiring than the Galleon. Unfortunately they're both fairly confined areas, which is a no-no.

Worst-case scenario is he's just a trophy, and in his new Nintendo design to boot. That would be even worse than the botched, off-model trophy in Melee. That's really my biggest fear, that he'll be depicited in his new design. Let's face it, he probably will be.

I still don't understand why Nintendo would choose to redesign him like that, or how anybody could possibly prefer it to his original appearance.

There's no need to apologise, this is the K. Rool thread after all.

Uh... you mean Baron, right? That's the only one you didn't include. Baron K. Roolenstein's battle in Donkey Kong Land 3 was pretty interesting actually. In addition to throwing bombs, he shot lightning bolts from his hands.

Thank you for your reasonable and well-founded opinion.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Not a problem, Chrono. If you want to know anything else give me a shout; I know basically all there is to know about K. Rool. Anyway, I doubt being crownless would affect his gameplay. In DKC K. Rool's head was the only place you could hit him, but that's obviously not going to be the case...

The animated series is nowhere near close to the original. K. Rool doesn't even have a tail in that show... No need to worry about a reference, I have a DKC render showing off his' clasp' quite clearly. It's a faceted 5-sided emerald.
