After venturing through the many regions of Donkey Kong Island, Donkey and Diddy defeated many of K. Rool's operatives and reclaimed Donkey Kong's [[Golden Bananas]], which were guarded by bosses. Finally, the Kongs managed to reach K. Rool's ship, the [[Gangplank Galleon]]. Here they faced the tyrannical crocodile in battle. K. Rool tried many tricks to defeat the Kongs, such as using his crown as a boomerang, trying to ram them, stomp them and shoot cannonballs at them. Though in the end, the Kongs managed to beat K. Rool after a long hard battle. Unfortunately the Kremling king managed to escape.

K. Rool returned in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'s'' semi-sequel on the [[Game Boy]]; ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]''. In this game, [[Cranky Kong]] calls up K. Rool, and demands he return to Donkey Kong Island and re-steal DK's Golden Banana hoard; Cranky had made a bet earlier with Diddy and Donkey that they couldn't reclaim the bananas on a hand held system. In this game, K. Rool is fought in a blimp above [[Big Ape City]], here his attacks consist mostly of the same as they did in Donkey Kong Country; running, jumping and throwing his crown. K. Rool is once again defeated, but once again goes into hiding to lick his wounds.

At the end of the game, a ship can be seen sailing away from the remains of the island and an ominous laugh can be heard as the ship sails over the horizon, telling the player that K. Rool survived the explosion, making way for another sequel.

In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', K. Rool returns, once again kidnaps DK and rushes away to Crocodile Isle (which K. Rool had risen from the sea).

Diddy and Dixie had to once again defeat K. Rool on [[The Flying Krock]] and in the Lost World. After defeating K. Rool, Crocodile Isle once again sinks to the bottom sea.

If Dixie and Kiddy manage to collect all the cogs in [[Krematoa]] and give them to [[Boomer]], K. Roolenstein can be fought again. After Boomer's machine awakens the ancient volcano in Krematoa a submarine, the [[Knautilus]] will rise from beneath the volcano's lava. Inside the submarine, K. Roolenstein can be found and battled. After a long battle, the Kongs manage to defeat K. Rool and send him flying once again. If Dixie and Kiddy manage to obtain all the [[Banana Bird]]s in the game, and release the [[Banana Bird Queen]], a small cut scene of K. Rool driving away in hover boat will be shown, suddenly a large egg will crash onto the Kremling king, courtesy of the Banana Bird Queen.

In ''Donkey Kong Land 3'', K. Rool, along with Diddy, [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], Dixie and Kiddy, enters a competition to explore a newly discovered area of the [[Northern Kremisphere]], as well as find the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]]. Dixie and Kiddy must defeat K. Rool in [[Tin Can Valley]], and once again board the [[Knautilus]] in the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]].

Though K. Rool does not appear in ''Diddy Kong Racing'', he is, presumably, the one who sent [[Krunch]] to spy on Diddy Kong and his friends.

K. Rool returns in ''Donkey Kong 64''. In this game, K. Rool (said to have become somewhat unstable), randomly appears one day on a [[K. Rool's Ship|large mechanical island]]. K. Rool had planned to blow up [[Donkey Kong Island]] with a weapon called the [[Blast-O-Matic]], fortunately for the island's inhabitants, [[K. Rool's Ship]] ends up crashing due to the incompetence of the ship's drivers. In an attempt to distract Donkey Kong while he has his ship repaired, K. Rool has several Kongs imprisoned, these are; Diddy Kong, [[Tiny Kong]], [[Lanky Kong]] and [[Chunky Kong]]. He also, once again, steals DK's [[Golden Banana Hoard]].

K. Rool appears in one of ''[[Donkey Konga]]'s'' mini-games, the player must bash K. Rool on the head with a [[Steel Keg]] while he tries to evade them. He will also sometimes appear dancing to the beat of music during songs.

K. Rool was set to appear as a playable character in the now cancelled game ''[[Diddy Kong Pilot]]'', where he was dressed as a stereotypical pilot, complete with fur coat and aviator goggles. K. Rool will be appearing in the upcoming game ''[[DK Bongo Blast]]'' as a playable character. A trophy of King K. Rool can also be obtained in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.

In King K. Rool's most common appearance, he wears a red cape and a gold crown. When he took on the alias of Kaptain K. Rool, he traded in the cape for a brown trench coat and the crown for a pirate hat. When he becomes Baron K. Roolenstein, he wears a white lab coat and has a propeller on his back. As King Krusha K. Rool, K. Rool wore a pair of large overalls and boxing gloves. He also had a pair of old, brown shoes with a few holes in them. K. Rool's skin is light green (though some appearances show it as dark green), he has a large bloodshot eye and he is usually shown with jagged teeth.

K. Rool, as his name, a pun on "cruel", may imply, is often extremely brutal, ruling his minions through threats and intimidation and often punishing them severally when they fail. K. Rool is also somewhat of a dirty fighter, often collapsing in the middle of combat and making it seem like he has been defeated, only to rise seconds later and begin fighting again.
