Maybe the Queen would be represented by King Dedede because he’s a bird, and they’re both of royalty. Get it? Oh forget it...

I mean that was his best & most distinctive look. Double Trouble actually gave Funky a sense of being more than just Donkey Kong in glasses and a bandana. Him being brought back for Tropical Freeze with a mix of his DKC3 gear &DKC1/DKC2 surfboard was a great compromise of appearances. It is telling of Retro/Nintendo's preferences that they looked at all the playable Kongs after Diddy's Kong Quest & determined the non-playable one would still be a better fit.

Super Mario Odyssey's New Donk City did have a good chunk of neat Donkey Kong references in general.
Somehow, the New Donk City cops prevented the monkeys from spray painting on buildings in the game, which is probably why they just remained as concept art in the end.

Oh yeah, gotta love SMG4! Maybe they were the ones preventing all that spray paint art from happening.When I think of cops and Mario, I just think of the cops from SMG4's videos:

Dixie Kong sprays on a wall in New Donk City:Oh yeah, gotta love SMG4! Maybe they were the ones preventing all that spray paint art from happening.
SMG4 police: STOP RIGHT THERE!!!

LOL No way she is getting away from the boys in blue!

No kidding! They probably chased the Kongs out of the city before the events of the game.
RetrogamerMax

Yet, they still have streets named after them lol! The folk in New Donk City are a funny bunch.
Of course! They probably couldn't take the street names down before the events of the game. I wonder if Dixie was riding Rambi to get away from them?

And this music would play when Dixie is running away on Rambi from the SMG4 cops in New Donk City:
Oh yeah, gotta love the Benny Hill music!

Can't have a classic chase scene without this song.
RetrogamerMax
Smash Legend
That works too. Imagine the SMG4 cops throwing barrels and Kremlings at the Kongs while they're chasing after them lmao! That would be like SMG4.
LOL That would be golden! They may be trying to get the Kongs out that way after what Cranky Kong did in terms of kidnapping the mayor, Pauline years ago, and threw barrels at Mario!

Watch as K. Rool is the police chief of New Donk City enforcing these kops to arrest the Kongs. The Kops are on the case.
Yeah, or maybe he is pulling the strings from the shadows. Who knows?
RetrogamerMax
Smash Legend
Perhaps so. Maybe K. Rool is running a political campaign to run for mayor and the only way he could win is if something happens to Pauline which he plans for the kops to make her disappear in some way so he can control and take over New Donk City.

No kidding! He is dirty enough to do that. Maybe he will fail as Donkey Kong saves her. It would kinda be ironic, since his grandfather was the one who kidnapped her.
RetrogamerMax

Exactly. Donkey Kong would restore honor to the Kong name in New Donk City by revealing K. Rool's evil plan and taking down him down.
And K. Rool's plan would fail like aways.
RetrogamerMax
Smash Legend
Yep. But that would be a neat persona to see K. Rool and the Kremlings take in a future game to see them as Kops.
With K. Rool being Chief K. Rool.
RetrogamerMax
Smash Legend
Don't you mean Khief K. Rool? In the Kremling language, every word that starts with C is actually spelled as K.
Yeah, that too. I just thought Khief would not sound like Chief. I could be wrong, though.
RetrogamerMax
Smash Legend
So should K. Rool be a politician, police chief, or mob boss in New Donk City? I think the role of a dirty politician woud fit K. Rool more in my opinion.
If he were a mobster, I'd call him Krime Lord K. Rool.

I wouldn't even get rid of all the Tikis! The Screaming Pillars and those forest totems came back in Tropical Freeze, after all. They're a part of DK's world now.
For me, it's DKC2 > Tropical Freeze >> DKC3 > DKC Returns >> DKC.
DKC3 and DKC Returns can change places, depending on which one I played more recently. The original DKC is pretty great (I actually started replaying it earlier today), but it really pales in comparison to the sequels.
I hope they don't pull a Min Min and give us old spirits with new battles, honestly. If I were in charge, here's what I'd do. I decided to do ten spirit battles, since that's about as many as new characters usually get.
- Klubba (Shield; Ace) - Giant green Incineroar with an ore club on Omega Bridge of Eldin; the enemy's melee weapons have increased power
- Krow (Attack; Ace) - Black Ridley [x1] and white Kirby [x2] on Pirate Ship; defeat the main fighter to win; reinforcements will appear after an enemy is KO'd [invisible Ridley]
- Cat O' Nine Tails (Grab; Novice) - Purple Sonic on Omega Great Cave Offensive; the enemy favors grabs and throws; you are easy to launch
- Kiddy Kong (Grab; Advanced) - Blue DK on Tortimer's Island; the enemy favors dash attacks; the enemy is easily distracted by items
- Banana Bird Queen (Neutral; Legend) - Giant yellow Yoshi on Magicant; the enemy starts the battle with a rocket belt; the enemy favors up specials
- Kaos (Neutral; Ace) - Green R.O.B. in Dracula's Castle; the floor is electrified; Reinforcements will appear after the enemy is KO'd [white King K. Rool]
- Koin (Shield; Advanced) - Black King K. Rool on Kongo Falls; the enemy doesn't like to jump; the enemy shields often; the enemy favors down specials
- Tawks (Neutral; Novice) - Red Falco on Pilotwings; the enemy tends to avoid conflict; the enemy is easily distracted by items; certain items will appear in large numbers [food]
- Bashmaster (Attack; Advanced) - White DK [or Banjo and Kazooie, if you have them] on Battlefield Garden of Hope; the enemy starts the battle with a hammer; the enemy can swing the hammer for a long time; the stage's platforms are very slippery
- Pointy Tucks (Attack; Novice) - Tiny blue King Dedede team on Battlefield Summit; defeat an army of fighters [x6] the enemy can deal damage by dashing into you
Support! I've been saying that for years.

Found some cool concept art of DKC returns that would make pretty cool levels:
The natural environment around an industrial area is being ravaged by a Ferndozer.
Donkey himself was gonna control one of these.
The Kongs are chased by an enormous red-headed vulture through a misty cliffside.
A long railtrack cutting through a colossal amber cavern, seen from a low perspective.
The Kongs ascend a volcanic slope, on the background of a steaming crater and blackened ashes.
Giant banana landforms risen above a forested area. A coaster is entwined around several of these bananas.
An underwater scene that captures Donkey Kong riding a red Dunkleosteus.
Donkey and Diddy Kong, engaged in a battle with a huge moray eel wrapped around a lighthouse.

As far as the Tiki Tribe, I wouldn't be against keeping them around. Not necessarily as major antagonists, but as joke villains that pop up on occasion still trying to get revenge on the Kongs despite getting beaten every time? There's some fun to be had from that.

Tiki's seem like an ideal candicate for a new sort of Lost World.

When someone asks "What more can you do with DK after Tropical Freeze?" I show them these. All of the unused concept art for Retro's games have great potential.
