Also, for anyone playing around with colors, I have a few suggestions I haven't seen yet:

--Classic K. Rool (darker green skin, gold belly, red cape)
--Cartoon Klump (swampy green skin, yellow belly, green crown/cape)
--Cartoon Krusha (mid-light blue skin, light blue belly, pale or camo crown, camo or green cape)
--Kaptain Skurvy (dirty orange skin, lighter orange belly, black crown/cape)

I wanted to argue this, but then it hit me.

Spare us the nightmares, unless we see Baby K. Rool is the next Yoshi's Island.

This is really a kutthroat task to undertake. Still very much a work in progress, though I don't think I can get it much better.

A Mafia themed K Rool is a requirement now.


I could see K Rool having an Al Capone kostume actually.

Kingpin K. Rool? Kapo K. Rool? I'm game.

Give him a zoot suit, fedora, and a Tommy gun substitute for the blunderbuss.
Now you've just reminded me of the Daredevil Netflix series.

Live Action DK film confirmed with Charlie Cox as DK and Vincent D'Onofrio as K Rool

Uhg, I can't do the hat. This is probably the best I can get it, I don't have Photoshop so this is too difficult.


Maybe someone else can pick up where I left off, or maybe someone will do their own and make it way better.

Kaptain @ BKupa666 BKupa666 , I have an offering.

Klassic Palette King K. Rool.
I changed everything except the teeth, claws and eyes.
Here's what I used for reference:

Maybe have colors based on DKC bosses?

Queen B., Oil Drum and Master Necky colors would make good palette swaps.
Maybe Oil Drum's face could even appear on the belly armor, like the Mr. Saturn swap for Ness.

Well this is as good as I could do without spending the whole day on it. Couldn't wait to just look at it. I hope and pray that this will be what our roster looks like including whoever else we get, of course!

Definitely liking the darker colors. I would be fine with either, but PAON design with Rare colors seems like a perfect blend.

Youtube comment from the Smashified K. Rool video (w/o commentary):

"Yes, because King K. Rool's design is ****ing terrible. If he was made today, there is absolutely no way he would get passed into a game. I can guarantee that a rock would make a better character design than him. Not a rock with a face, just a rock."

I cannot wait for the "Gators gonna Gate" gif...

If anyone could, may I request an orange and light blue K. Rool?

These renders are a ton of fun to look at, I love this sudden boom of custom alts!

Why is it when people talk about K. Rool's supposedly terrible design, they never mention anything specific?

Why do people not like that a big, reptilian villain was meant to look ugly?

Does that really surprise anyone?

I'll be honest: I can empathize with those who find K. Rool's appearance unappealing. I don't really like Rare's approach to character design in some ways. It's not bad, just not my cup of tea. The googly-eyed humanoid animals come off as a bit grotesque and unintentionally juvenile to me, but I must admit they do have a certain charm, especially the grittier designs from DKC and Battletoads. I liked their SNES character designs best, so K. Rool's appearance doesn't bother me much. Some people may not like him though, and I get that. I have a general dislike for anime-based character design, so I've found myself finding characters unappealing because of their designs as well. I would never not support a character's inclusion in Smash if I thought they were fitting, though, regardless of their design.

Lord Fredrik passed that design test of a recently designed fat anthropomorphic animal... So I'm sure Rool would too if he were designed in this day and age.

My only issue with Rare's design philosophy, particularly with regards to Banjo-Kazooie:

Why the hell does everything have eyes?!

Anime-style characters are usually my favourites, mind you, I really appreciate that awesome, stylish art form.

I just wanted to see how a scaled-down K. Rool would look compared to the Kongs, considering he's always been a good bit bigger than even Donkey. Looks pretty good to me here. They fit together so well.

Don't ask why Diddy is so tiny, I didn't notice until just now. Was mainly focusing on K. Rool and DK lol
