>He's only liked by people who played the Rare games growing up.
So the only games that matter? Truth be told, none of the non-Rare games outside of Retro's titles sold well, and the Retro titles were coasting off the DKC brand, which Rare had a full hand in creating. Were it not for Rare, DK would be an uncommon/obscure Mario character in the sports titles. DKC made DK. Rare made DK into a household name outside of a single title that was already fading away before 1990.

This, K. Rool represents a deeper part of the DK franchise, one that made the ape into a hero alongside Mario and Link, rather than another Mario villain who got pushed aside by Bowser. Getting him in Smash wasn't the endgoal, it was him getting back to his main villain status in Donkey Kong that was the focus. I repeat; none of the non-Rare games did well and all of the other DK villains pale in comparison to K. Rool and the Kremlings.
