Rarewhere: DKC Trilogy Cast List
''APPEARS IN: DKC 1, 2, 3

''He just won’t stay down! No matter how many times DK, Diddy, Dixie and Kiddy trounce the scaly Kremling overlord, he always manages to spring back in a new guise with an even more dastardly plan up his sleeve. He failed to beat back the Kongs in his role as King, he failed as a hardy pirate Kaptain and he failed once more as loopy scientist Baron K. Roolenstein. Nevertheless, he's a single-minded scoundrel and he'll keep coming back with his loyal Krem hordes, dreaming up wilder and wilder schemes to gain control of DK Country...

Donkey Kong 64

 * Instruction booklet bio from Professor Cranky Kong (page 10): While K. Rool may have ditched his ridiculous disguises, his intentions are as evil as ever. Fortunately, a combination of his own incompetence and useless minions have allowed us to defeat him in the past. But the future of Kong Isle rests in the ability of Donkey and his new buddies to prevent the croc’s latest effort. I could defeat him single-handedly of course, but then you wouldn’t have a game to play would you?
 * Rarewhere: As if you'd ever doubted it, the Kremling overlord is back - and his less-than-brilliant track record has made him more determined than ever to have his way with the Kongs' homeland. But this time he's moved on from a simple takeover bid... now he wants the whole place turned into rubble! Could Crocodile Isle's new Blast-O-Matic cannon finally tip the odds against DK & Co.?
 * Prima Games guide (page 14): He's back! That evil lizard just won't give up! This time, he's sure he'll win—but he's always sure he'll win. With a new clan of thugs and evil-doers, K. Rool threatens to blast DK Island to smithereens. You must stop him.

Trophy
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, King K. Rool states that Kaptain K. Rool is his brother, when the Kaptain is really K. Rool himself, dressed in pirate garb. This is regarded as a mistake by Nintendo.

Palutena's Guidance

 * Pit: Who's this guy? Talk about your super heavyweight!
 * Palutena: That's the leader of the Kremlings, King K. Rool.
 * Pit: Kremlings?
 * Palutena: A race of crocodile people.
 * Viridi: I hear they like bananas. Blech...
 * Pit: But I thought Donkey Kong was the one who liked bananas.
 * Viridi: I'm pretty sure all mouth-breathing knuckle-draggers like bananas. They're like the litmus test for idiocy.
 * Pit: I don't know what that means, but I LOVE BANANAS!
 * Viridi: The prosecution rests!
 * Palutena: Back to the fight at hand, some attacks will fail to penetrate King K. Rool's large, leathery belly. You might want to consider incorporating more grabs into your battle strategy.

amiibo

 * Whereas Mario often squares off against Bowser, Donkey Kong must fight against King K. Rool. He's a big croc with a big attitude...and a tiny crown. He probably could have been Donkey Kong's most trustworthy animal friend. Think he'll ever have a change of heart? Not likely.
