King K. Rool - Did You Know Gaming? Feat. The Cartoon Gamer (Nintendo)

There's a difference between long forgotten and moderately remembered. Either way, both characters from Rare are a crapshoot with rareware being a shell of itself currently.

I think they had a good point though. If they wanted to try something new they shouldn't have forced K. Rool into the story. Bowser is always the villain because they don't want to change the basic premise in the Mario games, that's not the case for DKC.

Personally I always thought King K. Rool in the animated series was perfect. While just as, if not moreso, bumbling as his underlings, he does pull off some decent gambits and does establish himself as a persistent and dangerous enough threat whilst acting like every bit of the would-be tyrant that has no business being a king of anything that he ought to be. Bowser and Ganon pretty much always had the "terrible evil king" thing on lockdown, and I always found more comedic "This is what passes for royalty?" villains like King Dedede in the Kirby anime to be tons of fun.

I always figured the “K.” in “King K. Rool” didn’t mean anything, at least to Rare at the time. However, similar to how Bowser was given the common name “King Koopa” in the Super Show TV Series and the Mario Cartoons to follow, I always considered the K. to be simply “Kremling.” So.. “King Kremling Rool(s).” Kinda sounds like a name someone with a massive ego would give themself.

[@EdmacZ]

Does K. Rool need to come back? Does Bowser need to come back every game? The answer is doesn’t make a difference. There’s that Nintendo self-centered ego again. I still think Nintendo Japan are still a tad peeved that an “foreigner” developer managed to a create a better-received interpretation of a character they originally created. Donkey Kong is nothing without Rareware’s influence. I also believe that is why Nintendo has tried their best to sweep DK under the rug for so many years.

[@Thenumber1yoshi]

Correction they tried to sweep “Rareware’s” DK under the rug, they have no problem with DK so long as it’s the one they created on their own terms with their development teams, then again there are some developers over there that stand with us, like Camelot, and especially Sakurai and the Smash team, though with what you said I guess I’m starting to understand why Diddy and Funky haven’t come back to a Mario Kart game on a mainline console and why the one they returned to the series in, and the one Dixie made her debut in the Mario Kart series, was a damn gatcha game on mobile!

I had a theory that K. Rool was an underling of some greater Kremling power. If you look at the main 3 games, he goes from King to Captain to just a Scientist. Almost like he's being demoted, and eventually let go. Heck, it seemed like the Kremlings were an invading force from a different dimension in DKC2. How hard would it be to believe that K.Rool wasn't the true leader?

Implying great ape war? Note that Pauline dedicated a street to DK's greatest foe.

There are many bosses that are a powerful, if more dangerous than The king. But none are as memorable as he is. Welcome back old friend

You post this while I'm listening to Gang-Plank Galleon. Coincidence? I think not!

[@kjbroadway9557]

If K. Room was going to return in a future DKC game, to follow tradition with his many attires, I think he should do something space-related like “Kosmo K. Roll”

Hey, it's a video about the guy who should be the main antagonist in Dokey Kong Country 6. That's an instant watch for me.

[@connormurphy266]

I had no idea about the letter that was sent to Nintendo to thank them for K. Rool, that’s makes me so happy!!!

[@joshuas.g.g.4951]

Seeing this in my KZbin sub box made me incredibly happy.

Interesting how K. Rool was dropped for so long. Not many series would be willing to exclude their main antagonist from games for a decade.

The best video game character. Change my mind, non-believers.

[@austinevans8842]

Damn right! K.Rool is such a fantastic character/villain. He's goofy and over the top yet still has his moments of being vile and cruel. He has no redeeming qualities but is still somehow lovable all the same. How Rare/Nintendo were able to meet that balance is nothing short of incredible. Which is why K.Rool is remembered so fondly and why he has a legion of fans. I liked K.Rool when I first saw him in DKC back in the 90's but didnt LOVE him until DK64 where his character really gets to shine.

King K. Rool was the very first final boss i beat, from the very first game i played, owned, and finished. you can imagine how happy i was when i saw the DK segment after the Hero vs Villain slideshow.

[@TSMSnation]

9:51 oh wtf, thats me. im the only one who asked that? damn.

[@Breadfan14]

K Rool and the Kremlings need to come back in future DK games (if they ever make a new one). I think they're part of what makes the DKC well, DKC

[@newageBoundhippie]

Miyamoto & Nintendo with DK: does K Rool really need to return? Let's think up a new foe Miyamoto & Nintendo with Mario: could a new foe be used here? ....nah, let's just stick to Bowser kidnapping Peach again.

[@LeaveTheMark_YT]

Lol

My therapist: low poly King K. Rool can’t hurt you. He doesn’t exist Me:NO HE DOES LOOK points at him. 0:11 My therapist: CALL THE CHURCH!
