In the Space World 2000 build, each pilot was going to have their own story mode, and K. Rool's story would have been called K. Rool's Gold. The intro blurbs revealed K. Rool would have been searching for ElDorado, the mythical city of gold after finding a stone tablet with a map in an ancient stone temple. The tablet led K. Rool to an island with a giant magical gate to El Dorado, where a quartet announce they are the guardians of the gate and tell K. Rool that earlier Cranky had failed to go through. The first guardian, Nikki explained, only they had the magical to open the gate but first K. Rool had to complete four tests with the first being to collect the firekey from CrankPot Keep.
