All of the underwater remixes are amazing!Not gonna lie, I heard Mangrove Cove Underwater for the 1st time a few months ago, despite having Tropical Freeze for 4 years, and it's really something special:
i think you mean #Incineroarconfirmed#VaultBoyconfirmed
Yes please!The poll we've all been waiting for.
Do YOU think that Dixie should get her kneepads back in Smash Brothers?

I see where you're coming from, but I think there's ways to bring them back. If they're keeping Cranky and Funky playable from now on, I could see Candy being in charge of the item shop. They could bring Swanky in if they wanna bring back minigames.Rare really went overboard constantly creating new Kongs one after the other, I'm glad Retro reeled it back in to just focus on Donkey/Diddy/Dixie/Cranky and Funky. Honestly we don't need all these extra Kong's constantly, and I doubt they'll ever return in future games either.
I absolutely agree with this. I've never been crazy about how they handled Donkey Kong's in the Smash series. The new Gangplank Galleon remix in Ultimate is a good start though, I will say that.I don't care what DKC song they reveal with Dixie as long as it isn't yet ANOTHER version of Jungle Hijinx. I can't guys, I just simply CAN'T anymore...I LOVED Jungle Hijinx it was one of my favorite videogame tunes but the overuse by Nintendo in general as well as Smash Bros. has made me grow tired of the song ESPECIALLY when DKC has some of the BEST music tracks in all of gaming. Yet we constantly only get one track remixed over and over again....
I know I'll get flamed for saying this as people like to do, whenever I mention it but I STILL think it's Sakurai DK bias....Yes we got K.Rool but I truly believe only because of fan votes (which he confirmed and we all know) and his hands were tied. He knew WE knew K.Rool was probably the REAL ballot winner and if he didn't add him people would definitely know something was up. Sakurai said the only reason Diddy was added in Brawl because people kept questioning why he wasn't there and not because Sakurai personally wanted him in. Also we're just NOW getting a DK assist trophy 5 games in...don't even get me started on the lack of variety in DK music and stages...I don't know why Dixie was never an Assist back in Brawl or Smash U either. If Sakurai couldn't get her playable she should have gotten something. It would be no different than other Assist who became playable like Little Mac, Isabelle, Dark Samus, etc.
It's weird that we got so little DK content in general. I remember talk of a Chunky Kong AT raining down bananas in demos but no footage or screenshots.I don't know why Dixie was never an Assist back in Brawl or Smash U either.

It sucks but I understand why though, barring spin-offs the DKC series was essentially dead from 1999 to 2011, other franchises with more relevant games were sadly prioritised, all the other DK characters faded into obscurity apart from DK and Diddy mostly thanks to mario spin-offs. Then returns didn't exactly have a whole lot to offer in terms of characters or assists as well so it was skipped on too.It's weird that we got so little DK content in general.

With so little attention being paid to this series in Smash, it was like it was some obscure IP.
You don't know how much I was hoping for that rumor about Chunky to be real. It would have been a really neat surprise AT to have him return in physcal form for the first time since, what? 2005? 2006?It's weird that we got so little DK content in general.

I agree with all this. I mean, they had promoted Cranky and Funky, so who's to say they wouldn't want the majority of the clan to get in on the fun?I see where you're coming from, but I think there's ways to bring them back. If they're keeping Cranky and Funky playable from now on, I could see Candy being in charge of the item shop. They could bring Swanky in if they wanna bring back minigames.
And Kiddy and the 64 crew could be NPCs that you have to save or have sidequests attached to them. And when the time's right they could make a playable appearance here or there.
I think it's good to keep the focus on the main 3 (and Cranky and Funky), but I think the other characters help expand the universe. Plus I really wanna see a DK Warriors game
I just really need to see this happen. I hope DK is next on the list!I agree with all this. I mean, they had promoted Cranky and Funky, so who's to say they wouldn't want the majority of the clan to get in on the fun?
Also, your last point reminds me of this:

Lol, yea I remember checking the K. Rool thread to see if someone found proof constantly. It really is strange how absent he's been. He's not even in Barrel Blast, which is weird cuz all the other playable Kongs from '64 are there.You don't know how much I was hoping for that rumor about Chunky to be real.

I think that's because he and DK are too much alike. Both big and strong. My point i guess is that they want to keep DK the strongest Kong so there' s no room or place for Chunky.Lol, yea I remember checking the K. Rool thread to see if someone found proof constantly.

Maybe if Retro wasn't so giddy at cramming so many polygons per game, they might have had time to think of bringing back the Kremlings instead of desperately coming up with replacements to wash the bad taste of the Tiki Taks off people's mouths.However by Brawl we finally got Diddy, and Dixie should have been separately. By 2008 K. Rool was gone besides spinoffs. Had Retro included K. Rool in DKCR back in 2010...there's no doubt in my mind K. Rool would have been in Smash U. So it's likely Retro to blame for K. Rool's absence in Smash for so long, not Sakurai's.
Maybe they'll find some purpose for him someday, maybe being much slower than DK to balance out his huge strength, or something like that.I think that's because he and DK are too much alike.

Can you please explain to me why it only made sense to have Diddy in melee but not k.rool and Dixie? The DK and Zelda franchise both almost sold 40mil at that time, so they should have been equal in representation. Besides that Shiek only appeared in ocarina of Time as Zelda's alter ego, Dixie was a main character in dkc2 and the star of dkc3. Ganondorf in his human form only appeared in ocarina of Time as well whereas k.rool was the main villain in all dk games. DK was very very popular in Japan, that's where the games sold most, so I don't get it why Sakurai didn't put any priority in the dk series.I don't get why people think they would have been in Melee, Melee didn't have many newcomers besides clones, only really Diddy should have made it in Melee.
Melee added two of the biggest characters Peach and Bowser, Zelda/Shiek, new Pokemon rep Mewtwo, two retro characters Ice Climbers and Game and Watch, and then Marth. And then everyone else were clones like Falco, Ganondorf, Young Link, Pichu, Dr. Mario, etc. Even if DK was at the height of its popularity around the time, it's obvious why K. Rool didn't happen. Diddy should of though.
Even Kirby didn't get any newcomers in Melee. What should have happened is only one retro character, as much as I love the Ice Climbers, it's weird we had both them AND Mr. Game and Watch. Diddy should have been there over one of them.
However by Brawl we finally got Diddy, and Dixie should have been separately. By 2008 K. Rool was gone besides spinoffs. Had Retro included K. Rool in DKCR back in 2010...there's no doubt in my mind K. Rool would have been in Smash U. So it's likely Retro to blame for K. Rool's absence in Smash for so long, not Sakurai's.
Funny thing is, Sakurai could almost agree with you about that. Even putting aside his reluctance to adding Kirby characters made by other people, Meta Knight has less of his actual Kirbyverse attacks in Smash compared to the source material (not even the Link-esque downward stab), whereas Dedede is practically fully faithful. Heck, Dedede was once considered for inclusion in the very first game's roster.But even I thought King Dedede should have been enough for the series, I mean dk only got Diddy.
I figure they might take the 64/Melee Luigi route and have Diddy's noises higher-pitched, but I do hope they'll give her something distinctive.If Dixie ends up playable, will she make realistic chimpanzee noises?
I mean in the sense that there are new game franchises that I've never played, and hence new gaming trends. Newcomers since Smash Wii U have focused on this for the most part. For instance, I've never touched a Fire Emblem, Kid Icarus, Splatoon, Xenoblade or any of the post-Mario Galaxy Mario games.How is it "geared to a different audience"??? Smash is as it has always been. With a variety of characters and mechanics chosen to appeal to different demographics.
I actually saw a Diddy plush toy at my Best buy, cute picture btw.I usually don't buy plushies but I would definitely make an exception for Dixie. I would love to own that one on the far right behind the fan.
Fr tho where in the hell is retro studios? Tropical freeze came out 4 years ago (I'm not sure if they made the port or if it was outsourced tbh) and yet they're still completely silent, I really thought we'd finally see their new project at this years e3 but I guess notIt's Retro Studios' 20th anniversary, yet they're quieter than WF's stance on Shantae. It would be nice for them to show a title tease for the next DKC, at least. Even that would be enough.
