Donkey Kong Bananza Talk: Kremlings & King K. Rool

Its about damn TIME, its been 11 years since a new entry in the DK Series and im THRILLED to see its taking the 'Mario Odyssey' route of Open world platformer experimenting with a new concept (I.E: Destructible environments).

Its unfortunate that Kremlings and by proxy, King K.Rool, are still absent as usual (Now more than ever would suit them well as a proper antagonist). Not to say I don't like the current cast of characters we can only assume are the bad guys (More Monkey=Good),But it always feels bittersweet every time the Kongs are fighting some more nondescript villains when there is a whole group of bad guys with built up context and lore right there! (Obviously the main reason is most likely them being tied up in Legal papers, Rare is with Microsoft, so its increasingly unlikely we'd see anything of K.Rool outside of his appearance in another Smash Bros game).

At the end of the day, More Donky Kong is what I like, regardless of weather or not Kremlings are involved...

However...

I noticed something interesting in the trailer for the recently announced Donkey Kong Bananza.

There is a consistent prevalence of these Crocodile lookin guys in the trailer. All of them are pretty blink-and-you'll-miss-it but its there. Call it Cope or something but it leaves the door open for Kremlings, or at least some 'Nintendo Owned Kremling-Like creatures'.

Ekzibit A.1

The first one we see is this stone statue guy, clearly some Croc vibes going on with the carvings.

Ekzibit A.2

The same stone guy, after the outer layer is shattered, revealing a gold skeleton with again, more croc features. Specifically the skull. It keeps its Club weapon even after the stone is shattered.

Ekzibit B

Another Stone Croc, made of a different matterial (Some sort of iridescent stone). this time in water and wielding a different (red) Club weapon.

Ekzibit C.1

More Crocs, this one lacking its Club, red in coloring, and covered in Spikes. DK uses the smaller enemy to break its outer shell rather than a basic attack.

Ekzibit C.2

Another Golden skeleton with Croc features, It also shows that the outer shell is made up of wood based on the shape of shrapnel resembling that of Woodchips in texture.

Ekzibit D

A Very large Totem Pole esque statue of multiple different Crocodile stacked on top of the another. Each layer a different material (Bottom:Clay or soft stone, Middle: An iridescent Stone, and Top: A Matte metal).

It wields an equally as large club/mace and has several of the golden skeletal limbs sticking out to facilitate movement.

Ekzibit E

A large group of Stone Crocodiles lined up behind what is assumed to be the Bad Guys of the game. The flying enemy in the back doesn't seem to match the 'Crocodile style' of earthenware.

Konclusion

Theres something to do with Crocodile like creatures in this game, weather or not they're proper Kremlings is 100% Speculation considering we only have two and a half minutes of footage to work with, and they wouldn't show off everything in one go.

My Crackpot theory is that these are some Dead Kremlings that have been 'resurrekted' from the dead by vengeful spirit 'Nekromancer Von Rool' Uncovered and dug up by the mining operations of Ingot Isle, they seek revenge for the disturbance of their resting place.

My Source for this theory? Any sort of backing evidence?.. None, I made it the fuck up. it would be SO FUCKING COOL!

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk

So this is probably really stupid to find interesting, but I watched a video about the evolution of King K. Rool over the years, and it's pretty clear to see that his golden belly armour being just that, armour, and not a part of his body is a pretty recent thing, which was seemingly introduced in Smash Ultimate. In his debut appearance in DKC, it does seem to be made of gold:

That's pretty clearly the same material on his crown, cuffs and belly, right? And as his cuffs and crown are clearly just accessories and not part of his body, it would be natural to assume that so is his belly armour. I'm actually not sure if this is the case, however, since I've never read the manual the game clearly expects you to have read, can't find a video of someone hitting him from the front to see what kind of sound effect it makes, and haven't gotten to the final boss of DKC myself yet (I'm stuck on Chimp Caverns, lol). So as far as this installment goes, with my limited knowledge, I could go either way (K. Rool experts, feel free to weigh in).

From this point forth, his belly armour remains golden for some time, and I don't believe an answer to whether it's part of him or not is given in any of the several games he appears in up until Smash Melee.

Then, suddenly, in DK King of Swing on the GBA, his belly armour is made of skin.

This change then remains consistent from this point up until Smash Ultimate, and K. Rool actually does appear in a surprising amount of games up until then, featuring in Barrel Blast, Super Mario Sluggers, and even in Brawl as a trophy.

Finally, after Brawl, his next appearance is in Smash Ultimate, in which we finally get a solid answer: it's a metal chestplate. Apparently. Despite the long string of games before in which it was clearly flesh. In Ultimate, this is even of mechanical importance, as it can be worn down and eventually broken by attacks, which stuns K. Rool and leaves him vulnerable. He can also use it to parry attacks, so it has multiple associated mechanics. This cracked texture would be kind of gross if it was made of tough skin instead of metal, so maybe that's why they made the change.

I also discovered that whether or not he has a tail, and how long it is, is wildly inconsistent. In Melee he has a short tail, in Brawl he does not, in Ultimate he has a nubby one yet again, and in DK64 he has a properly long crocodile tail longer than his legs. Weird.

idk why I thought this was interesting I just did.

Happy King K. Rool day :D

Today marks the 6th anniversary of King K. Rool's debut in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, so to celebrate, I got some headcanons ready :D

He positions his bed directly into the sun's position, so that he won't have to wake up cold

He embroidered the pattern on his cape himself and will brag about it any chance he gets

When he loses a game and can't cheat his way into victory, he'll lie to save face! If you found him in a game of Hide and Seek, no you didn't! He wasn't even playing anyway, how dare you! If you tagged him in a game of tag, no you didn't! He was just, uhhhh, warming up! If he touched the floor in a game of The Floor Is Lava, he was actually wearing lava-proof boots the whole time

When absolutely nobody else is around, he'll lay down on some rocks and bask in the sun

He has mixed feelings about jesters; on one hand, having a funny little guy around would be a nice change of pace from the weight of his duties, but on the other hand, he hates being mocked and knows that jesters can mock freely without any legal consequences because it's part of their job

If he wins at something, he'll brag about it for weeks, won't shut up about it, and will count it as solid evidence that he's better than everyone else

If he's feeling down, he won't show any visible signs of it; he'll do whatever he can to avoid hinting at it or even implying it! He'd rather get glitter in his eyes than let anyone see that he can be just as vulnerable as anyone else

He doesn't remember anything from the events of DKC2 or DKC3; He does have some vague, spotty memories of DK64! If someone were to tell him about Kaptain K. Rool or Baron K. Roolenstein, he'd deny it and ask who they were, out of confusion

After the events of the Joker reveal trailer, he has decided to take up boxing as an outlet for his rage and other personal issues

A commission for RodriguezRrod91 on Twitter, though part of a larger piece.

5 Hours to make the large and in charge King K. Rool.

I'm really proud of that mug he's holding.

Admittedly the fact that this is merely a part of a larger piece is part of why I haven't been able to upload lately. My apologies.

In celebration of Kermit the Frog's 69th birthday, I merged two of my best favorites (Kermit and King K. Rool) into a ginormous surprise. Presenting to you all is King K. Ermit!

A bullfrog king who's 100% soft, huggable and friend shaped; protects you from haters and can deliver up to five extraordinary attacks. Plus, he's cute and cuddly right from the start! [Kissing and the dreaded balloon not included. Please don't try this at home. Thank you.]

K. Rool al descubierto. 🐊👑💦

K. Rool es sorprendido al tratar de robar el coco de cristal una vez más. El cocodrilo nadaba sigilosamente por el lago para hacer de la suyas, cuando de repente un ansuelo se le atasca en sus colmillos y con eso es llevado a fuera del agua; una vez estando en la orilla sus planes se arruinan por completo.

k rool's endgame

I have that k rool's endgame involved him seeking to hold donkey kong's Island hostage.

By threatening to unleash a virus that would wipe out all crops and livestock that the kongs and other creatures on the island like squawks and his species and the other creaturs live on. Like bananas, fruit, fish that type of stuff.

He calls it Omega virus. The virus is unleashed via gas. A bond movie gave me the idea.

Hows it all sound so far?
