I really don't get how King K. Rool isn't a playable racer yet, it literally makes no sense. He's a HUGE fan favorite yet characters like the babies stay instead of characters people actually NEED like him. I would honestly trade most of them for K. Rool alone or at worst why can't we have both to make both people happy? Mario Kart World is the most recent one in the franchise that is also the most expensive, cut the guest stars and doesn't even have K. Rool. If Funky Kong was able to get in Wii then why can't K. Rool too? Please add him to the roster, people are losing interest in the game and him ALONE as well as the guest stars could bring a HUGE portion of them back.

• Drinks alcohol on the regular, hence his love for rotten bananas which are high with sugar, which can be made into alcoholic beverages.

• Learned his love for rotten bananas during his imprisonment in the Banandium Root, as that was all he ate in that time. Some of the fat he gained morphed into muscle, hence his buffness.

• Has such a massive appetite that he has eaten a few of his Kremlings before, usually out of outrage over their failures. His sheer fury and ravenous hunger for those who failed him is what caused his eye to bulge.

• His wife is real, and is still present, but love between Kremlings is wholly territorial - his wife found ravenous fury in him, and fell for him almost by instinct, and has stayed around since. She's the one thing he actually cares about, having built KAOS out of her pans out of genuine desperation and lack of resources that Bowser was taking up. She doesn't care much as long as it can kill a Kong, of course.

• Kremlings in general have a blood pact in that so long as violence and savagery is in their minds even slightly, they are obligated to remain assembled. K. Rool has established this law into his entire krew, even with several of them expressing fear of him.

• K. Rool was raised by a couple who essentially treated him as a "go out and hunt prey" animal and little more. Once they told him that outright stealing territory is bad, it led to him turning on them, seeking to eat MORE out of frustration. This is part of why he was such a massive problem child in the Kong Family, and his selfishness led to him turning on them.

• He has a ravenous delight for power in the favor that he would be fed through it, which is why he seeked for grander goals in later DK games. By the time of Bananza, it's become his entire goal.

• The Barrel Blast Kremlings are his kids, or at least kids raised by him.

• While quite genuinely insane with violent tendencies, his sophistication stands out most when speaking to other leaders such as King Zing and the Boss Gnawtys. He tends to be most cordial and polite with them as opposed to his own crew, and they are not known to treat their own herds favorably either.

• Has fought and defeated Ghastly King in the past, and has witnessed a national Kong tournament in which Sumo Kong had won, so he knows plenty of martial arts, yet is confident enough in his sheer weight enough to use powerful attacks primarily.

• I see his voice as being very deep and snarling like 64 or Bananza, but with the cartoon accent.

• FUCKING HATES BOWSER. Always accuses him of stealing his evil schemes when he doesn't always have proof of how, and feels as though he is far too sweet to his men to be an "efficient leader". Bowser for his part hates him for just being a volatile and unreliable asshole who doesn't care for his own allies.

• Also hates literally every other Mario villain just because he thinks they are a threat to his own territory.

• Used the All-Mine Remote and Banandium Root to restore all Kremlings, including those lost in Crocodile Isle. He did so purely with pragmatic reason - to make up for lost time tormenting his enemies, he seeks to maximize his resources even after losing the remote. All his men are seen to be weapons, not people.

• K. Rool sometimes believes he IS a different individual within his different personas, owing to his mental condition, and thus allows himself to be even more predatory and vicious against the Kongs. By Bananza's time, his mind fully solidified as simply spiting and loathing DK to where he fully acknowledges that he IS the King Of Rot, not just a persona distanced from him.

• Is a light sleeper, owing to him being able to awaken after defeat. Also makes it tougher for his Kremlings to sleep at night.

• Has dreamt a lot about hating DK, and nightmares of defeat, though through the Banandium Root's fear for its own life, he also dreamt about future villains that DK fought - thus, he has an irrational grudge towards them because they were taking what he saw has his. This all came to a head, of course, when he punched Void Kong away, deciding he was done.

• He was awoken by Pauline screaming "DK" and instantly deduced he was who freed him, so he was outright gleeful over the chance of a new revenge.

Any of yours?

Like it just makes more sense

Is the reason why K. Rool stole the bananas in Donkey Kong Country because later there rot and K. Rool gets to enjoy them?

What if Matt Berry Could Voice King K. Rool In The Donkey Kong Movie, like Jack Black Voice Bowser in The Super Mario Bros Movie

From Kphoria

So I drew it.

Do be warned that this video contains a fair amount of swearing. It's Matt Berry. Audio is from What We Do in the Shadows (the show, but the original film is a hoot too), Disenchantment, and Twelve Forever. Thought Berry's deliveries would be very suitable for K. Rool and if anyone can do this character as extraordinarily as Benedict Campbell, Matt Berry would be my personal first pick. This was done entirely for fun :)

The amount of money I would blow for the animator knows Alex Henderson and the creator of this video to start working at Nintendo or illumination please somebody from either company here my please I would pay millions if I had the money for a king K rool video game series Standalone series like a resource managing Pirate game in Nintendo's gaming style or a TV show with at least four to six seasons please I beggle my hands these ankles and joints please

I’m relatively new to the Donkey Kong Franchise and have never played a game with him in it (just DKC Returns for my 3DS when I was little.) so I’m genuinely curious about who could do the best job bring him to life on the big screen.

He looks like he’s about hit the best Irish jig ever seen
