What is that behind Pauline?
Is it King K. Rool?

probably the planets core

She's fucking 13...

>>714027092
This "13" is very lucky

>What is behind Pauline?

Bros...

>>714027043
There looks to be some sort of throne in the background.
Did King K. Rool become an elder?

>>714026953 (OP)
there’s alotta croc symbolism

if they bait us in the end, then idk what their intentions were.

>>714027442
to bait retards into buying the game.

>>714027442
Considering he's not even in the theme park, I doubt it :/

>>714027442
>There's alotta croc symbolism
Such as? Sounds like hopium to me

>>714027467
These characters are seriously expressive

>>714027442
Are we REALLY doing this again?

>>714027657
since 4chins does allow multiple images, the golden kremlings are possibly a nod

>>714027863
*doesn’t, fuckin mistyped.

>Void Kong isn't K. Rool is disguise. he is forcefully transformed into K. Rool at the end of the game
how mad would people be?

>>714027657

why are rare fags so obssessed with K. Rool

>>714027967
anon, no other notable reptile mobs have appeared in dkc

>>714027467
Cute!

>>714027092
Those are 13 lucky Kongs

>>714028090
That's a skeleton that vaguely looks like a dinosaur, not a fucking kremlin. You guys are seriously setting yourself up for disappointment if you think that hints towards anything. I really don't think K. Rool will be in this game, and that's okay!

>>714028057
they are just Barafags

>>714027467

>>714028057
because we want him back as the main villain, also smashfags are aware of his character.

>>714027657

>>714028270
That is not a crocodile.
>>714028268
>he can change his appearance
jesus christ k. rool fags are on that max strength copium.

>>714028268
Void Will be transformed into K. Rool in a mid credits scene

>>714028602
the whole Journey to the West cope is hilarious.

>>714028176
>>714027967
>>714027657
They're totally kremling skeletons and it's not exactly vague.

>>714028714
pauline jr. theory is way more bizarre but you do you i guess.

>>714026953 (OP)
K. Rool fags are gay. Sexo with Pauline!

>>714028873
both are stupid

>>714028878
you WILL witness k rools grans return and you WILL buy it for him.

>>714028961
*beginning

>>714028927
I think both are likely.

>>714027092
Mario's daughter is so cute!

>>714029064
you're setting yourself up for disappointment anon

>>714028602
They’re called crocoids, they’re definitely crocodiles

>>714028961
What if instead of a bull king, he is a banana king?
What if he disguises himself as VoidCo's banana god who sits on a banana throne?

>>714028823
>Kremling Skeletons
Guys... Void Kong's wish is to revive K. Rool and the Kremlings! The planet core will have K. Rool's skeleton! It's going to be so fucking kino!

Deepest lore...

DK's greatest enemy is Mario, and will always be Mario. K.Rool just doesn't have the history.

>>714029194
I think K. Rool went into the planet core in DKC2, and then lived in there and/or got old and turned into an elder.

half of you zoomers didnt even know who k rool was until he was annouynced for smash ultimate

>>714026953 (OP)
post her feet

>>714028602
I love me some K Rool, but my god these cunts are deep in denial. Almost as bad as the Pauline jr. schizo.

>>714028268
If Void Kong transformed into K. Rool to an operatic chant and massive health bar, that’s my GOTY.

>>714029725
Who are you referring to?

>>714027467
SOVL

>>714029782
has K. Rool ever shown any magical abilities? putting on a pirate costume is not a transformation.

>>714029512
mario isn’t jumpman, and this dk isn’t even cranky

>>714029725
I envy zoomers who don’t know who Gatornigger is.

Nostaliga faggots should KYS asap. No one gives two shits or knows about some faggot gator from 1935 when your parents weren't divorced.

Literally should have never got in smash. Bayonetta got in because she was relevant and a recent game release, not some literal who green shit.

>inb4 muh rob muh pacman muh duck hunt
Icon characters of different eras or mascot characters. No one gives two shits about literal who the gator

>>714029760
No thank you.

>>714029782
Was that the guy who was calling her "Suzanne" up until the direct blew him the fuck out?

>>714029914
Nope. Every one of his appearances have had him use tech, never magic. It's the weirdest cope.

>>714029914
He won't need magic, he's the twist final boss and the last elder at the core.

>>714030056
I see K. Rool being less a villain this game and more relegated to being a side character, that is assuming he shows up at all. He might run a concession stand if he does.

>>714030027
kek i forgot about that

>>714030027
>Was that the guy who was calling her "Suzanne" up until the direct blew him the fuck out?
I believe so, yes.

>>714027092
...anons tonight!

>>714030027
"Suzanne" was from a post made here on April 9th recounting supposed insider info from NateDrake/NateTheHate.
In that thread, other Anons started referring to "Pauline" as Suzanne.

Guys, it could not be more fucking obvious, there's crates from New Donk City in a bunch of the levels we've seen so far. They'll get blasted to the surface and K Rool will go Super Bananza, DK will go Super Bananza and it'll be a Kong vs Godzilla battle. It's literally so obvious lmao

>>714030040
K. Rool fags are delusional then

>>714030234
Except that never fucking happened and the only "source" was that schizo post from the archive.

How many levels do we reckon, lads?
Odyssey had 17. I'm guessing we'll have 12-15 main ones and a couple of bonus areas just like in that game?

>>714030314
Yes, I've been in full agreement with you this whole time.

What if King K. Rool becomes good?
What if Donkey Kong and King K. Rool team up to defeat Void Kong?
And that's how King K. Rool gets an Avenue named after him.

>>714030526
screenshots show different sublevels but i dont know if thats just a new ui header or if every world (kingdom) "theme" has several different levels within it to maximise the use of the assets

>>714030326
What if "Pauline" is actually her surname, ala Mario Mario and Luigi Mario?
I'm not going to act like anything is set in stone right now.

>>714030730
You are mentally ill.

Is she in the games guys?

>>714031182
Wait a minute...

>>714030564
This seems more likely than having him be the villain again. He's essentially going to have the Tien/Vegeta/Piccolo transformation where he's one of the good guys now.

>>714027467
I like this interaction because it shows DK as a good mentor figure, cheering her up when he notices her forlorn expression. This is actually a defining Rareware trait that's been adapted and expanded here but Raresnoys would never admit that because "le calarts design".
I am going to miss not having Diddy Kong around all the time though.

>>714031402
>Raresnoys - anyone critical of DK's redesign = SNOY
>8snoys - anyone critical of MKW's forced intermission tracks = SNOY
Are there any other snoys we should know about?

>>714031402
Why are you using "snoy" as a suffix?
Who are you trying to fool?
We can see right through you.

>>714031307
DK prefers... younger women now

>>714031782
Nintendo forced this upon him.
Also how come nobody gave yoshi shit for carrying around literal diaperfag plumbers?

>>714031782
No he does not.
He is going to protect her and return her to her parents.
Whoever they are...

>>714031402
Are the snoys in the room with us right now?

>>714030307
I would like that too.
Or maybe a recreation of 25m.

>>714026953 (OP)
I played the demo at my local Best Buy, I didn't make it past four Banandium gems because I got too invested in smashing and digging everything around me but the controls are fucking solid, I just wish this was a cross-gen title and not greater than or equal to $70

>>714032521
It's just our local.
He hates Donkey Kong Bananza.
He is scared of Donkey Kong Bananza.

>>714031402

All me thoughbeit

Four (You)s lined up in a row. Beautiful

I will CONTINUE the snoy AGENDA

>>714031782
idgaf what DK like, just what *I* like

>>714032635
You will not slander our precious Donkey Kong.
And stay away from Mini-Pauline, don't insult her either.

>>714031892
>Also how come nobody gave yoshi shit for carrying around literal diaperfag plumbers?
DK already has a history of lusting after adult Pauline, so this setup makes it easy to joke about DK being a groomer

>>714032798
Donkey Kong would never hurt Mini-Pauline.

There will be no K. Rool, no Kremlings at all, and no other Kongs besides Cranky except for maybe Funky because Nintendo has a weird obsession with him.

>>714032948
I sense that you might be coping.

>>714032798
I get why they redesigned him visually, but did they really have to change his name to Rapey Kong?

>>714032948
Diddy and Dixie are in the trailer you idiot

>>714033014
They did not rename him.
Why do you take joy in insulting Donkey Kong?

>>714027657
There really isn't. There's one crocodile enemy and that's it, it just happens to be one of the more common ones
There's enemies based on
>Ants
>Bees
>Boars
>Moles
>Monkeys (multiple by the way)
>Octopi
>Sharks
I want K. Rool back too but I think this is 100% going to be them trying to sweep most of DKC under the rug outside of key jangles ("OMG GNAWTY HAS A FOSSIL ZOMG THEY DIDN'T FORGET!!!!!!!!!") and instead them trying to retie Donkey Kong back to Mario (visually the game is much more similar to Odyssey than any Donkey Kong game, Pauline focus, etc.)

>>714032979
NTA but the ones coping are the guys coming up with theories on how the villain will transform into k. rool

>>714033046
He's pretending to be non-intelligent.

>>714027092
in a row?

Any chance the Tikis will show up ?

>>714033224
Nope.

>>714033301
The chances are very slim.

>>714033071
>I think this is 100% going to be them trying to sweep most of DKC under the rug outside of key jangles
But we've already seen Rambi, Diddy, Cranky Kong that look very much like their rare counterparts, nearly identical.

>>714033434
The reason DK himself looks so different is to tie into the Mario movie, bring his look closer to his arcade design, but most importantly in the context of his goofy expressiveness in this game, it's actually because he's supposed to be a younger DK. Rare DK is a lot older in terms of his design and "personality".

>>714033434
>Diddy
Diddy and Dixie both got redesigns and every single part of their redesigns was to make them look like how they did in the Mario movie rather than how they look like in any actual Donkey Kong game or the 2D art everyone says Donkey Kong's new look was based on

All this seething about "muh Rare", when in reality this game is actually Banjo-Threeie thinly disguised as a new 3D DK

>>714033572
What if this is a new DK, and Rare DK, with some slight differences, shows up at the end?

>final boss fight VS void kong
>relatively standard boss battle, nothing insane
>after defeating him, cutscene plays. K Rool appears, revealing himself to be the mastermind of the whole op
>Rock cover Gang Plank Galleon kicks in, complete with the rap lyrics from smash ultimate
>Phase 2 starts, this time now fighting K Rool
>after getting him low enough on health, he absorbs a fuckload of Banandium and gets his own bastardized Kong Bananza (now called Kong K. Rool)
>Gang Plank Galleon ramps up in intensity, turns into a rap battle between Pauline and K Rool
This will happen

I feel it in my bones

Something to note is that the time between DK Arcade and DK '94 or DKC is 13 years.
Is that why Pauline here is specifically 13?

>>714033840
Or maybe Pauline is singing in front of Elder K. Rool's throne to turn DK into a Kremling Bananza?

>>714026953 (OP)
That is the Banandium Root. Pauline is using her singing to "wake it up" so that they can get their wish. This is after beating Void Kong. K.Rool swoops in and eats it after this and becomes a giant. Final battle is DK scaling K.Rool, using his various Bananza forms to beat bulging spots on K.Rool to eat the Banandium sticking out. Eventually, K.Rool swats DK off and Pauline sings, causing DK to become a Giant too. Final bit of the final battle is Giant Kong Bananza DK fighting Giant K. Rool.

>>714034090
Do you think they would fight in New Donk City?

diddy and dixie were a good duo

I am very excited for this game's cutscenes.

>tfw no giant monke friend to sic on any minor inconvenience

>>714032798
thats not real is it?

>>714027092
13 out of 10

Indeed

>>714036347
It's a paused frame taken out of context from a 30-second ad released after the Direct.

>>714027442
I mean SOMEONE's gotta be disguising their true identity, otherwise what was the fucking point of oddrock

>>714036408
Protect the sacred Mario midget.

>>714028014
>>714028268
>>714028632
>>714033840
K. Rool has to be revealed at the midpoint of the game at most ala Shadow Mario is Bowser Jr. in Sunshine
Otherwise it'd come across as a jarring change for no reason that had little to no set-up

>>714036531
okay, but K. Rool has never shown an aptitude for magic. unless he appears and pulls the crystal coconut out his ass void isn't him.

>>714036638
Maybe there is a scene where "Pauline" brings up "her mom/dad" in a conversation with DK?

The only way this can be an Odyssey prequel without breaking the timeline is if it takes place a few months before Odyssey.

>>714036653
yeah but this is nintendo, they can just pull new powers for a character out of their ass

>>714037101
Or K. Rool can gain powers, or just appear at the end as the mastermind behind VoidCo.

>>714027657
The biggest sign for me is that bit of dialogue from Cranky that doesn't seem to have anything to do with VoidCo or the whole plot about the banandium or the world core.

>>714037002
When has Nintendo ever given much thought to timelines?

>>714033693
>Banjo-Threeie

its just odyssey 2 with environmental destruction

>>714037291
The only Nintendo devs that give a fuck about timelines are Monolith Soft and the Splatoon guys, and even they get fudgy sometimes.

MS is a bit of a major exception to the rule though, since they seem to be entirely powered by one man’s 30 year long autistic crusade. They exist outside of conventional bounds.

Ugh!

Bing-Bing Wahoo!

>>714038757
Unironically much better

>>714037237
It would be really funny if you beat the game and then cranky berates you about K.Rool having stolen your bananas like how Banjo and Kazooie have the barbecue once they rescue tooie but she reminds them that Grunty still hasn't been dealt with.

>>714033840
>turns into a rap battle between Pauline and K Rool
LOOKIE HERE LOOKIE HERE LOOK WHAT I'VE GOT

>>714037237
Cranky is wrong. It's that simple.

>>714026953 (OP)
What if Pauline IS King K. Rool?
>>714028053
This one is my favorite lol

>>714039572
She isn't King K. Rool.

>>714039572
What if Gary Bowser is actually Gary Rool and he doesn't put himself in games because he already has a strangle hold on the company?
And also a reptillian alien mastermind over humanity?

>>714039615
She could be.
>>714039893
Okay, now we're getting into my personal beliefs.

>>714038757
>Shoes
cringe

>>714027092
I need vore with Pauline pred now

>>714040564
I don't think you need that.

>>714031402
Donkey a good boi, even if he sometimes puts on the banan-blinders.

>>714041598
You just replied to

>>714040490
no fvarking way...

This could not come at a better time, I just wanna play another 3D platformer and enjoy some solid gameplay again.

>>714026953 (OP)
You misspelled bonanza.

This will be the final boss
