Boss of the Kremling Krew: King K. Rool

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

King K. Rool

Franchise:

First Appearance: Donkey Kong Country
Character Type: Villain
Possible Status in Brawl: Playable Fighter

As many of you know, King K. Rool is the main antagonist in the Donkey Kong franchise. He's a strong, but somewhat slow character that would be just as lethal as Bowser.

King K. Rool would be a good fighter to add into Brawl since he is a villain, and played a major role in many of the DK games.

K. Rool's Various Appearances
(King, Kaptain, Scientist)​

The roles that he did play as were a pirate captain (Kaptain K. Rool), a mad scientist (Baron K. Roolenstein), and a typical king. K. Rool's captain and scientist appearances can also be his alternate costumes.

K. Rool's special attacks and Final Smash might go as follows.

Special Attacks

B: Giant Punch (does variable damage, based on how long K. Rool charges it up)
Smash >+B: Kannonball Hurl (K. Rool tosses a giant cannonball to do damage)
/\+B: Rocket Barrel Blast (K. Rool gets on his rocket barrel to ascend)

K. Rool's Rocket Barrel

\/+B: Body Slam (K. Rool slams to the ground hard, dealing heavy damage to foes)​

Final Smash

Blunderbuss Blowout: K. Rool sucks up his opponents with his blunderbuss. He'll then fire cannonballs from the blunderbuss to deal massive damage to them.​

King K. Rool could be one nasty powerhouse, especially if he's rivaling Bowser's strength.

Good idea. Could work with a DK-like storyline in Subspace. You beat him and unlock him. Kremling can also be Subspace enemies.

K. Rool needs to be in Brawl as a playable character, you did a great job on the moveset, too bad he already has a thread.

Yours is better though.

Yay a K. Rool thread that's not about how he sucks as a character xD

I would really love it if he'd be playable =) I'd definitely play as him very often ^^

He's my most wanted playable character for Brawl right now... but not too many people want him in, and he should be stronger, and bigger than DK too, so that'd may be a problem... maybe he'll end up being a Boss for SSE, or an AT.

At least it's better than he isn't in at all ^^ but let's think positive... *hopes that he'll be playable*

(also, my first post besides in the Meet & Greet forum, YAY XD)

I certainly support him. DK's franchise needs some more love - its historic importance to Nintendo is immense, especially since it is where Mario originated - and K Rool is plainly the best choice for a third character from it (especially if Dixie is just a Diddy outfit). I doubt he'll actually be playable, but I can dream, can't I?

I think that this thread should stay and the other should be closed.
