Steve Mayles is a British game artist and animator formerly employed by Rare Ltd., and the brother of Gregg Mayles. He was a character designer and sprite artist for the first two installments of the Donkey Kong Country series, where he created King K. Rool and Dixie Kong, among other characters.[1] He also worked on several other games by Rare, including the Banjo-Kazooie series, for which he designed, modeled, and animated the titular characters.
