'''KP Pete''', better known by his pseudonym of '''King K''', is a [[KP Koopa]] who fights at the [[Glitz Pit]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He leads the fighting group called the "[[KP Koopas]]", a.k.a. the "Shell Machines of Doom". He has a crush on [[Jolene]], whom he calls "the cutie at the watering hole".  
However, King K had actually had his energy drained by [[Grubba]]'s [[power-draining machine]], and Mario later finds him in an unresponsive state behind a block in the second floor of the Glitz Pit's storage room. The KP Koopas are replaced by the [[Wings of Night]] during the time King K is absent. King K recovers after [[Macho Grubba]]'s defeat, and can be fought again should the player choose to return to the Glitz Pit.


He befriends [[Mario]] when Mario first enters the Glitz Pit, and teaches him the ways of the place. Mario easily defeats him in battle as he is the second opponent Mario faces; later, when Mario is forced to redo the Glitz Pit, he beats King K's team again. As Mario rises to the top of the rankings, King K says that he was going to retire after one last battle for safety reasons to Mario. After the last battle, he runs into [[Grubba]] during his power-up cycle. Grubba absorbs his power and throws him under a block. When Mario finds him, King K can hardly talk, but he manages to warn Mario about Grubba before falling silent. He recovers after Macho Grubba's defeat and bids Mario and his party farewell.
Later, King K sends Mario an [[Mailbox SP#King K: 'Sup, dog?|e-mail]], in which he states that he is keeping himself busy in the Glitz Pit.

Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door[edit]

King K introduces himself and the rest of the Minor League fighters to Mario after the latter's fight against the Goomba Bros. Throughout Mario's stay in the Minor League, King K gives Mario advice and informs him of any recent occurrences, such as the Hot Dog Stand getting a new menu item or the "STUNNIN' babe havin' a juice at the Fresh Juice Shop". King K disappears from the locker room after Mario's fight with the Bob-omb Squad, having previously told Mario that he was thinking about retiring.

However, King K had actually had his energy drained by Grubba's power-draining machine, and Mario later finds him in an unresponsive state behind a block in the second floor of the Glitz Pit's storage room. The KP Koopas are replaced by the Wings of Night during the time King K is absent. King K recovers after Macho Grubba's defeat, and can be fought again should the player choose to return to the Glitz Pit.

Later, King K sends Mario an e-mail, in which he states that he is keeping himself busy in the Glitz Pit.
