- —King K. Rool, Donkey Kong Bananza
K. Rool, King of Rot is the form King K. Rool takes during the final boss fight of Donkey Kong Bananza. In this form, K. Rool's skin turns gold, both his eyes become bloodshot, and his belly armor cracks. He additionally wears black pants, a crown made of bananas, and a cape of dark tendrils.
After Donkey Kong and Pauline reach K. Rool at his boxing arena in New Donk City, K. Rool absorbs the Banandium Root while pounding his belly, transforming into the King of Rot. Similarly to the fight against King K. Rool at the Planet Core, he attacks by using a triple-barreled Blunderbuss that shoots Banandium Mush alongside cannonballs. He also summons hands made of Banandium Mush.
During the fight, K. Rool can revert to his normal form if damaged enough, but will pound on his belly to transform back into the King of Rot. Standing too close to him as he does this will damage Donkey Kong.
