I don't think Japs get K. Rool. He shouldn't show up as just K. Rool. In DK64 you raid his lair before he even prepares anything but he puts something together for his proper appearance. In this canceled game it's a flying game and K. Rool just shows up as the only one fully decked out in pilot gear. Having the enemies mostly being Kritters and ones that appeared in the Paon games is extremely safe and underwhelming.
