Talk:King K. Rool

BUBBLES? From M&LSSS? Playable in King of Swing? - User: Ultimatetoad


 * Actually, no... They're talking about Bubbles, the star of the NES game Clu Clu Land. I can see how that could be confusing... Maybe something should be done about it. --YellowYoshi398 09:44, 27 January 2007 (EST)

oh... I clicked on the link and... wait a minute, Clu Clu Land? Thats just as weird! She's Playable? - User: Ultimatetoad

Yeah, DK: King of Swing's gameplay was based off Clu Clu Land's, so its only fitting Bubbles be in I guess. -- Sir Grodus

Trivia = Interesting. Seeing Bowser as King K. Rool is interesting. -- Son of Suns
 * When K. Rool didn't even exist at that time, and Bowser even looked less like K. Rool in the second one? - 12:49, 15 September 2007 (EDT)
 * It's interesting cause it may be possible inspiration for the K. Rool design. I say keep it. Making connections like that is what Trivia is all about. -- Son of Suns

Long-Lost Brother
Well, according to the trophy of King K. Rool in Brawl, Kaptain K. Rool and King K. Rool are two seperate characters-Kaptain K. Rool is King K. Rool's brother. Should we create a seperate page for Kaptain K. Rool? http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions)&middot; http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif
 * within the article it says that its only in the japanese version that they aren't the same person so don't think we need to change anything - Kamicciolo


 * But is the trophy information of K. Rool changed in the American version of the game? Hmm...I don't think that's something any of us knows... http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif Paper Jorge ( Talk&middot;Contributions)&middot; http://img247.imageshack.us/img247/3473/linkswordmi2.gif
 * Just have to wait and see - Kamicciolo
 * I'm assuming this is a mistake, like how Cranky's trophy says his first playable appearance is Barrel Blast. -- Sir Grodus 19:36, 16 February 2008 (EST)
 * Sir Grodus: Nintendo, who made Brawl, often chooses to say that it always has been the current Donkey Kong (with Nintendo DON'T support) and Donkey Kong: Barrel Blast. 1st March, 2008 09:26 (GMT +01)
 * Daisy's trophy information in SSBM said she appeared in Mario Golf (A game she didn't actually appear in) instead ofMario Tennis. The trophy info were full of false info, and I don't see why it wouldn't be the case with Brawl. I think a trivia note about the Brawl trophy is good enough.
 * I don't know about you, but my SSBM lists Daisy's first appearance as Super Mario Land. Maybe they fixed it in the European version though. - 06:51, 1 March 2008 (EST)
 * D'oh, I checked the Daisy article and uh, it say something completly different about her trophy in SSBM, I corrected my above post to reflect it. --Blitzwing 07:08, 1 March 2008 (EST)
 * KingMario: Cranky Kong is playable in the GBA version of Donkey Kong Country 3 and is also playable in Donkey Konga 3; both these games were released years before Barrel Blast. -- Sir Grodus 21:18, 1 March 2008 (EST)
 * Nintendo makes all kinds of mistakes, this is probably just one of them. 18:02, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

It's really annoying that Nintendo keeps on throwing these huge continunuity loops at us... However, the Smash Bros. games, being crossovers, could easily be said to be un-canonical. I like our theory better.

On the OTHER hand, we have absolutely no evidence for ours the Kaptain/King/Baron=same person thing, do we? - Ultimatetoad


 * I'm pretty sure the manual of DKC2 stated "He's Back" when talking about Kaptain K. Rool. Now, since this would be his first appearance in the series if he was a brother, I'm pretty sure Rare was showing that it was the same person. This trophy error may come from the fact that, in Japan, they were stated to be brothers, while here they were stated to be the same person.

K. Lumsy
I heard that K. Lumsy was K. Rool's brother.

I think that's just a rumor stemming from they're similar names - the only place I've heard them referred to as brothers was on that Mario Series Characters Guide website. -- Sir Grodus 16:43, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Then doesn't that make it official? Also, SSBB says that Kaptain K. Rool is King K. Rool's brother. 17:57, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
 * Uh, the Mario series Character guide is completely unofficial. About the Kaptain K. Rool thing, there's a discussion about it just above. --Blitzwing 17:59, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

Tail...

 * I know for a fact K. Rool had a tail in DKC and DK64, but in SSBB, his trophy has no tail at all...

Ever since PAON took over the DK series, K. Rool has been without a tail. So, yeah, King of Swing I'm pretty sure was the first time he appeared without a tail.

Main image
-The main image is from Jungle Climber, but in Jungle Climber and Mario Super Sluggers his skin was a bit yellower, so wouldn't that mean the current picture is out of date? Kount K. Rool 15:43, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
 * Unless there's a newer official artwork, No, it's not outdated. --Blitzwing 15:48, 29 October 2008 (EDT)
