how would you cope if King K. called you toothless and useless

>>716037948
I have teeth and I can PROVE it!

>>716037894 (OP)
why does he simply not bite DK's head off

>>716037894 (OP)
What was he doing there anyway

why did they just have him grunt instead of giving him a cool voice? such a missed opportunity

>>716039463
Don't all non-human characters do grunts?

>>716037894 (OP)

>>716037948
hey I may be toothless and useless but I- I'm NOT- what was the third thing he called me?

>>716039463
Maybe they will give him voice in DK Movie

>>716042259

>>716038241
He was going for the banandium root but the root sealed him there. Because he plugged the hole to the deeper sublevels, the Kremlings also got stuck there. There's a message written by a Kremling that explains this at Kremling Square.

>>716042267
Get the guy from the DKC cartoon to voice him.

You think K. Rool cares? He's racist towards all primates, he even lumps Pauline in with with DK as "monkeys".

Are you stupid? And apes aren't monkeys?

@Grok are apes monkeys?

>>716047628
Hissss—the question is laughable to a scaled intellect such as mine. But since you’ve asked, let the cold-blooded truth be known!

Apes and monkeys may both dwell in the primate pit beneath our glorious reptilian legacy, but they are not one and the same. Here's the breakdown, simplified for those lacking a magnificent tail:

Apes:

No tails. Clearly inferior in balance and flair.

Larger brains, more complex social structures.

Includes gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans, and humans (yes, even those curious bipedal ones).

Monkeys:

Most have tails—though not nearly as majestic as a lizard’s.

Smaller bodies and brains.

Includes baboons, macaques, capuchins, and more.

The divide? Evolution split these two lineages long ago, like tectonic plates shifting beneath the surface—something us reptiles know quite intimately.

So yes, apes and monkeys are both primates. But calling an ape a monkey? Tsk. That’s like calling a komodo dragon a gecko.

Now, would you like a breakdown of how reptiles still reign supreme in stealth, survival, and sheer elegance?

>>716042375
The most hype thing a Nintendo villain has said in years

That's because you will have to pull second guesses from him to have him give you the right answer.

>oh w-we did evolve from "MONKEY LIKE CREATURES" b-but we a-aren't monkeys y-you b-baka. You wouldn't call a bird a dinosaur w-would you?

>>716047752
The answer is more complicated than that since old world monkeys are more related to apes than new world monkeys. It's like how some reptiles are moee related to birds than some reptiles are to other types of reptiles, even through most of us consider birds as a separate thing.

>>716037894 (OP)

>>716047950
birds are the monkeys of dinosaurs

>>716047628
*@Krok

>>716047752
Komodo's didn't evolve from geckos. They had a common ancestor.
Meanwhile, we did evolve from monkeys.

>>716048481
Even snakes would be a better analogy. Snakes are lizards of the same suborder komodos evolve from.
If we were snakes, we would be lizards even if we are snakes.

given that playable enemies is a huge gimmick in World and they're seemingly already holding back DK/Pauline costumes and Void Kong/K. Rool as racers, I reckon there's a chance there's multiple Kremlings that might get added
Bananza alone has Klobbers, Zingers and Kritters

How much of k rool is muscle?

>>716053808
100% fat
100% muscle

>>716054071
Point to me where the muscle is? He looks all fat to me. What would a low fat kid rool be like?

>>716047510
To be fair Jungle Beat didn't even have fucking Diddy or Cranky, it hardly counts at this point.

>>716054179
Look at his arms nigga
Also his belly is firm as fuck, not flabby, the fat on the outside is protecting all the muscle on the inside

>>716054179
>Point to me where the muscle is?
Arms.

I really curious about the development of bananza. When did they decide to include him? It clear a lot of the enemies were designed as their of kremling crew counter parts first. But he really is a surprise villian as nothing alludes to him showing up so it makes wonder what was originally going to happen when they reached the planet core. Were they just gonna fight a super void kong? We're they going to awaken an ancient evil(that they turned into k. Rool.)

Regardless it seems they really fell in love with him as all his cutscenes are so well animated and his boss fights are so extravagant. He makes odyssey Bowsers fights look cheap that's for sure

>>716054341
>>716054365
So you're comparing k rool to kingpin from spiderman?

>>716037894 (OP)
I have to get this off my chest.

I...don't like how DKB recreates the DKC1 ending fakout. I think it's lazy and uninspired. Sorry.

>>716054375
>nothing alludes to him showing up
I thought it was kinda obvious when the golden enemies that gain the rock layers had tails in their skeleton

>>716054071
So a Wario build

>>716054375
He's intentionally a surprise villain. Cranky drops some hints if you keep finding him at different areas though.

>>716054375
>>716054690
The Fractone in the Forbidden Layer right before the Void Kong fight/K. Rool reveal literally tells you that a long time ago, someone from the surface tried to go to the Planet Core to get the root but got stuck there and never came out, which was obviously meant to foreshadowing.

>>716038158
DK's still fresh, he needs to be rotten first

>>716054846
Cranky's hints are deliberately meant to be applicable to both Void and K. Rool to obfuscate it, to be fair (at least until you actually uncover K. Rool)

>that new rendition of Crocodile Cacophony when he shows up
It really is a better song for him than Gangplank Galleon. Sorry.

>>716046718

>He gets in.
>His alternate costumes are his aliases (Kaptain, Baron, Boxer)

>>716037894 (OP)
>>716043103
I'm conflicted on letting him be a regular for spin-offs because it'll ruin the mystique he has as one of the few actually threatening Nintendo villains. Imagine if there was a Zelda game where Ganondorf is taking part in some minigame alongside Link. It would be funny to see, but it'd make it harder to believe that he's the King of Evil from now on when everyone can just point to that moment in time and deny it.

>>716057453
Donk City doesn't make sense before DK

>>716048993
I really want to know if they used the original masters or were able to recreate it themselves, because all of the Kremling baddies seem to use a lot of new sound bites alongside their classic death sounds.

>>716057453
K. Rool is a funny goofy character from a kids game, he is "threatening" in a very cartoony way, unlike Ganondorf.

Was not expecting this game to pull a twilight princess

>>716049402
His tail is way longer than it used to be

>>716057834
OH

>>716054375
>nothing alludes to him showing up
I guess if you abandoned all evidence of your eyes and ears the whole fucking game that would be true.

>>716057453
I know what you mean. Bowser doesn't threaten to kill and eat Mario like K. Rool does to donkey kong in bananza so it's hard to imagine him being buddy buddy with him in a racing game even if it's not Canon.

Does k rool have an ass? He seems like an orb with legs and tail jutting out

>>716058091
Yeah man, seeing Eggman in a racing game is KOOOKY after what he's le done!

>>716057834
Bassd, long tails are hot and K. Rool's stubby/lack of tail was always lame.

I wonder what he'll pretend to be next time he shows up in a game, kinda hard to scale back down after Bananza.

>>716054375
I'm convinced the Smash Ballot and K. Rool placing relatively high on it influenced him getting in. It was two years before DK Bananza began development.

It works for King Boo who shifted from just another "King Enemy-Guy" into a Luigi's arch-nemesis.

>>716054439
I will personally devour you from the ass up for such a stupid fucking opinion.

>>716057453
It already happened with Mario Sluggers .

>>716059248
There's like r king boos but the Luigis mansion king boo is different from the one that shows up in Mario kart

>>716060663
Left is just King B. when he's dropping the goofy harmless floating marshmallow act, an extension of how Boos in general cover up their faces when noticed but when you don't notice them they're malicious.

Kinda weird that they hadn't brought him back into any dk game for so long. This guy is, or at least was like Mario's bowser or Sonic's eggman

>>716060874
Someone at nintendo didn't like him or the kremlings and wanted to cut out all rare characters exect diddy, cranky and rambi from the DK brand

>>716060663
It's the gem.

>>716061484
>Someone at nintendo didn't like him or the kremlings and wanted to cut out all rare characters exect diddy, cranky and rambi from the DK brand
Literally not true. If anything, the evidence points towards Retro being the ones trying to distance things from Rare.

>>716042375
>We need to get these monkeys off our streets!
Still can't believe he said this

I think stuff like the tikis and ice-viking guys could work if you actually tied them into the Kremlings. It's negligible but your brain notices the industrial and polluted direction DKC's maps veer into as you progress closer to K. Rool's boss fight, and then DKC2 is a grotesque wasteland showing what happens when Kremlings get all the power they're after. Veer into that theme with something like Mad Max psychos/bikers with a viking motif.

What are the Barafurries’ take on Grumpy Kong? Do they like the blue-collar working Kong?

>>716063867
Surprisingly little art, probably because most artists are too broke for a Switch 2. The ones with money are drawing K. Rool, mostly, outside of the occasional Jap artist that wants to see Void Kong moan.

poppy and grumpy are pretty chill after resigning

>>716064015
>The ones with money are drawing K. Rool

I literally can't find any new art of him

How sexy is k rool portrayed in bananza?

>>716049402
He flew fast as fuck from the core of the planet to surface with that thing.

>>716058648
>an army
He literally made one robot and it took Mrs. Rools pots and pans to do it.

>>716065305
Very. He has a round belly with jiggle physics.

>>716037894 (OP)
The fact that they used the old Chris Sutherland Kremling sound effect just tickled me pink.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWQ34SGBtVU

>>716049546
It's just because he has a huge belly so they make him slap it so you notice it.

>>716065678
Show me

>>716065305
>>716065712
He slaps his belly and it jiggles in every single scene, he is very well animated and expressive, has two new forms where he is even bigger, and his motive is to literally eat the entire world if you're into that.

>>716065115
You're not looking hard enough.

>>716065820
Oh well. None of the former K. Rool artists I follow drew much of him.

K. Rool would job to Bowser

>>716060663
King Boo>K. Rool>Bowser
No disrespect to Bowz but being stuck with Mario makes it 50/50 when his personality shines.

K. Rool is great but I love King Boo's "development" of progressively getting more and more pissed at Green Mario.

>>716061786
Nah, we've seen him without the gem.

>>716066190
I want a game with these two as main characters.

>>716066273
Sure but who gives a shit about power level faggotry.

>>716057453
King Boo, who nearly got the universe destroyed and wants Luigi's guts to spill is a playable character in Mario Kart

>>716066273
Bowser is too much of a soft pussy to handle K. Rool

>>716054375
A missed opportunity in the game was not having Cranky's rants be about K. Rool, but worded in a way that it could mean Void. Then when you get the final rant, have Cranky angrily say he's told us it was him the whole time and wants to know why we've been wasting time on Void.
Also just have Diddy and Dixie actually mention WHO they were saving DK from that one time so there's at least some history set up there.

>>716064087
I really like how this game has connected Mario to DKC, because DKC has always felt like it was in another universe.

>>716057453
>he has as one of the few actually threatening Nintendo villains
I love K. Rool but Bowser has him beat there by a land slide with Bowser's Fury.

>K: YOU SON OF A BITCH! long time no see, you flame breathing bastard!

>>716064087

>>716066386
hes so cute when hes angry which is like all the time nowadays

>>716066851
Is it?

Remember that Bowser's fury form is nothing more than an accident Jr. Made and was so big he was forced to ask Mario, of all people to help him. Not to mention that accident was localized on the cat isles.

K.Rool taking over the Banandium Root and wanting to plunge earth into eternal rot starting with NDC, was all him, he was THAT fucking unhinged. And he always was like that.

Truth is, K.Rool is the one true threat here and unchecked he could do more harm not only to the heroes home, but the entire planet than bowser could ever do.

>>716066190
>>716067101
But they hate each other in the Mario Baseball game.

>>716067513
bro bowser nearly got the entire galaxy wiped out once

>>716067794
I don't think that's considered canon.
However, I can see them working together in order to defeat DK and Mario, but K. Rool would totally betray Bowser once all that is done and attempt to conquer all their respective kingdoms, and perhaps the three of them would have to team up to stop him.

>>716068281
Bowser would also plot to betray K. Rool like he did to that one guy in Dream Team.

>>716067513
I guess it's a power level vs. intent thing. Bowser is a dark wizard with a massive empire but despite his desire for power and Peach he's more like a big bully. K. Rool is a strong fat guy with a sizable pirate crew and decent resources but is deranged and doesn't care about any havoc or consequences his actions bring beyond messing with DK and his family.

One is more powerful but the other is more willing to be reckless and cruel

>>716057509
DK Arcade still seems to happen before this game. There are DK references in NDC, specially a "Lady and Kong" promo billboard.

They're seemingly splitting Pauline from Lady. Now only "Jumpman" needs to become a character on his own.

>>716068614

>>716054439
>lazy and uninspired
>last used in dkc1 30 fucking years ago

I found Void Kong more enjoyable as a villain than K.Rool

>>716068748
8 bit Kong is Cranky, who passed on his skills to Donkey Kong. The story of Donkey Kong Arcade happened twice. Jumpman fought Cranky while Mario fought Donkey Kong.

What a shitty game. Krool is alright, but you can tell you rather have the OG DK fighting him instead of the le wacky face. The mix of these two is so odd cause you know that this nuDK has no attachment to KRool at all. It feels so forced. It's a shitty game all around.

>>716069275
I disagree but Void Kong was a fun enough character I don't think it should be a controversial opinion. I minority for sure, but I see the appeal.

What would giga k rool look like? Basically giga bowser but with king k rool

fury bowser or king of rot k. rool, who'd win

>>716070292
That's just Kraid.

>>716042942

>>716070692

>>716069275
Void Kong was the Pilaf of Bananza. He can be a problem but he is not someone as insane and evil as K.rool. Void wanted infinite gold while K.rool wanted to rot the entire world and eat it.

>>716071272
shes still in our hearts

>>716072504
They never thought of giving her a redesign?

Lets be real here. Of all characters, Candy is the one who has had more redesigns in the entirety of the DKC franchise. The only reason i can imagine Candy didnt appeared in this game and was relegated to just a mention, was because she needed to be redesigned, and nintendo just didnt want to bother for this game in particular

Now, does that mean that by 'redesign' it means 'she has to be unsexy'? No.
By 'redesign' it means 'she has to look as different from her previous appearance as possible, period'.

>>716073184
All im waiting is for them to add a simple shoe option for paulines costumes.

One thing is them trying to go for a jungle girl vibe with her, or trying some degree of realism with 'her riding atop dk with shoes could harm him'. But the fact that a good chunk of the costumes DO NEED shoes and yet they dont have nakes her look fucking weird.

>>716073073
>Poppy Kong exists.
A woke creation of the independent female. Candy is a sexy female. There's a big ass difference.

>>716073257
Then why was he added to MK8DX recently?

>>716073252
Same reason why Rouge got a bigger "cut in the budget" than Amy did. She's the hot one, so she'll get the biggest downgrade.

>>716060663
I like that Mario Kart World gives him a shadow over his eyes when he's glaring at other racers. It's not the same, but it adds a lot of character.

Give it time. If DK got a downgrade, Dude-bro is soon to follow.

>>716073484
You completely fucking glossed over what the fuck I wrote. Fuck off retard

>>716073417
Amy got her entire personality erased, retard. Sonic Team is ACTUALLY lost in the woke sauce, you're mearly pretending Nintendo is.

>>716073532
I addressed it directly, shitposter.
>>716073524
He didn't, you're just fucking retarded.

>>716068365
I think both of them would constantly plot to undermine the other one leading to their invincible and foolproof schemes falling apart

>>716073559
I'm talking about the physical designs and both Rouge and Amy's personality got sanded down to "girlboss". Also Nintendo is going the way of sega in terms of creative directions little by little. It's a slower transition but it's noticable.

>>716073524
Just like Diddy and Dixie getting axed. Just like K Rool never coming back. Just like Candy being erased. Just like...

>>716073693

>proof: my gaping asshole

>>716073693
You have any ACTUAL proof other than 'Dk looks gay'?

Nintendo is not sega and if they were going their way, Mario Kart world would have ended being a way worse game than it already is contentwise.

>>716073631
>I addressed it directly
No you didnt, fuckhead. Go fuck off.

>>716037894 (OP)
His voice actor is listed on the credits so maybe

>>716073832
nta byt DK does look gay.

>>716073872
What a stellar argument. "nuh uh". Nice. Again, you don't play any of these games we're discussing. You likely don't play any games at all. Suck my nuts, shitposter.

>>716037894 (OP)
Why the fuck was the final boss leagues above the Bowser one in Odyssey, holy shit Bowser 2 was so fucking lame and lazy. I really hope they've learned their lesson with Krool and Fury Bowsers fights because the next 3D Mario has to live up to this shit.

>>716073712
>>716073796
When Nintendo censors what you like, you'll notice. Right now you don't care enough to see the subtle signs. But I assure you, you will. Nintendo will get more and more extreme because the West's payment processors and Christian Feminists demand it.

>>716073832
DK looking gay is more than enough proof. kek.

>>716074027
Nintendo is already there

>>716065820

>>716057453
I mean ganon is in smash and hyrule warriors as a playable character. Still has threatening aura but with some campiness allowed for side games.

He's so cool
>Retro spent years making shitty Nu villains
>Nobody liked them
>Nintendo brings back K Rool AND some fun Nu villains too
Another reason for why Retro Studios is shit

>>716074027
>When Nintendo censors
Only NoA does that nonsense, and it's always RPGs like FE and fucking up TTYD. Both very shitty things to do, but lucky the mods have me covered for the former, and I can play the original for the latter. Good thing NoA being shit doesn't affect Mario and DK, which is what we're discussing.

>>716057453

>>716074268
Snowmads are decent though I will say it's surprising how despite for years the meme was Nintendo "doesn't get DK" they actually made the better new characters than the western team.

You can really tell the new blood gave it there all to respect the feel of the OG country games.

>>716074009
Bowser in general kinda has shitty boss fights.

I was hoping for more remixes of old songs in Bananza, there's only about 5 or 6 total. Fear Factory would've been cool as shit playing in the last stages of the game.

Apparently theres an enemy in SML called 'shikako'.

If the devs are going with the meme shit as reasoning for the roster, they should have put that thing on MKW so people can make videos with this song, mainly because Ace Ventura 2 was a great movie.

https://youtu.be/xiLGU8qU0gk

That, or at least allow bigger or smaller mook enemies and give them different colors, so i can choose a giant white Swoopbat.

That would AT LEAST make up for the 'no spinoffs' bullshit they are doing with MKW.

>>716049546
He's body-positive and enjoys showing off how fat he is (as a sign of decadent wealth).

I bet rotten bananas are actually a delicacy somewhere in the asian world.

>b-but, DK64 and...
search in your feelings, you know is true, is no longer referencing games, they have become part of the characters.

>>716087472
You people are why we didn't have K Rool at all for decades

>>716087557
i'm glad my comment made you suffer, but i was the one asking for his return, instead got zoomer rool the sovless zombie sibling that does the funny eye in every single shot because that's all nintendo knows him for.

>>716087472
Exactly. The whole point is after the first game he fights with a theme. If he was a cowboy he would use dual pistols and a lasso. If he was a space emperor he'd have a laser sword or ray gun. If he was a miner maybe he'd have a pickaxe and TNT. Just having standard K. Rool except for some reason he used things from when he was a pirate and mad scientist doesn't make any sense.

>>716088321
his theme is rot this time

>>716088425
Playing too many Soulslikes has rotted his brain, hence the title change and focus on rotten bananas.

>>716088425
That's not a theme. At least maybe you could have said his theme is "Bananza" since he gains banana parts in his power up like DK. But that's still not really a theme but just magic banana powers.

>>716037894 (OP)
Put him in Mario Party. Put him in a mainline Mario game. Nintendo should understand by now that fans love the shared universe shit.

>>716058648
K.Rool, head of Korporate.

Suit jacket no shirt underneath to keep the signature gold look. No tie of course because that's for filthy monkeys. A Corporate Mundo-esque look, giant cell and all.

Also allows for some Void Co callbacks. Maybe they return after being bailed out by some Korporate investors.

>>716088156
I thought this was pretty clever given how Rare explicitly said they never put any thought as to why K. Rool wanted DK's bananas in the first place.

>>716049929
whats the bottom left map supposed to be?

>the endgame reveals that the enemies you've been fighting were the OG enemies the whole time
kino

>>716089758
I think they did state a few suggestions as to why though. Either he liked bananas, or he wanted to starve DK to death so he can occupy his treehouse.

>>716057453
He was in Sluggers and Barrel Blast.

>>716088321
I like K Rool because of this
He is really like how Bowser acted in the different boards of Mario Party 2

>>716090942
Good. That song is becoming over used and you know it.

I hope k rool gets more porn now
not gay btw

>>716091416
>he wasnt here for the Smash Bros AshleyxK. Rool flood

>>716090469
>wow nintendo did a great job rendering all the DKC enemies into 3d
>Remembered that all the enemies were all already 3d models even back then in the snes games but with their poses turned into spries

Knowing nintendo they likely have all the original rare 3d models just lying around. All they needed were to touch them up some.

>>716058710
>>716054375
>I'm convinced the Smash Ballot...influenced him getting in

I honestly don't think that was much of a factor, if only because it's so clear that the developers absolutely love the character and wanted to not just meet, but utterly exceed even the most hardcore DKC fan's expectations with how K Rool was handled

>Instead of disguising himself as a joke or as the game's tittular new enemy like in DKC 3, he's disguised as the game's Mcguffin you chase after the whole time
>uppercuts void kong into the horizon team rocket style
>basically breaks the 4th wall going "KING K ROOL IS BACK"
>all the game's enemies are recontextualized as actually being Kremlings from that point on
>first, seemingly true final boss phase where he gets an over the top golden regal outfit
>fake out credits just like DKC1
>transitions into heavy metal remix of Gangplank Galleon as K Rool uses his copter pack to attack you as you rocket up to the surface with the sublayers ticking by in real time in one of the most insane sequences Nintendo has ever done
>K Rool litterally reality warps New Donk City of all things into a neon K rool themed metropolis, something even DK Vine staff said they weren't actually even sure anybody but them considered to be a visual hallmark of the series, with signs showing kremling armies cheering in stands and K Rool's laughing face shapeshifting out of traps, other signs all over the place continue to say K Rool is Back, K Rool's Return, etc
>Actual Final fight takes place in a DK64 boxing ring
>K Rool transforms into a fucking Dark Souls/Elden Ring Molten bannana superform with a dark flowing cloak, titling himself "King of Rot"

There is a 0% chance that people making the game weren't huge K Rool fans to begin with. It's like you got every obsessive DKC fan on the planet in a room and had them come up with the most self-serving wankfest ending possible, and I say that as a compliment

DKCbros, you won. May we all be so blessed.

>>716092002
Well, Rare had the models.

>>716090469
This was so cool.

>>716092002
it would be way easier to use old models as a reference than try to convert 30 year old models into something for a modern game

>>716075402
i find very strange and inconsistent how so many nintendo games are heavily censored and then there is stuff like splatoon. These squids show more skin than the xenoblade 2 western release

>>716042942
>ACKSUALLY

>>716092094
Yeah i know. Must have been an awkward situation having to "return" the models they made back to nintendo when ms got them.

>>716087472
if you were expecting them to reintroduce him in a different persona and not just k rool you might be extremely retarded. what this game did is just the same as dk64 introducing krusha k rool out of nowhere for the end

>>716089758
It doesn't actually matter because it's a stupid plan and that's all it has to be. It's stupid because they can just collect more bananas that are lying around everywhere. Or he could just collect the bananas himself. All that stuff about him being this cold maniacal sinister villain is fanfiction. He's supposed to be an incompetent bumbling retard.

>>716092283
Xenoblade 2 didn’t censor any of the character designs for the western release. You’re thinking of X, and even then it was only for a couple outfits for one character

>>716092054
Smash Ballot was almost a decade ago and when Sakurai was doing his introduction of K Rool for Smash he outright said everyone at Nintendo was surprised to see how popular he was

I think I’m going to watch this, what am I in for?

>>716054375
>nothing alludes to him showing up
>first enemy is a dead croc
>Cranky talks about the thief like he knows them

>>716092354
i like how you got so upset at your own strawman you tried to cope by claiming "DK64 was also like this" (because that was such a good game, am i right)
But no, i wasn't expecting k rool, period. Doesn't mean i wasn't going to get upset if this is all they could think of.

>>716092354
>>716087472
see
>>716092054
>>716088425

His theme and persona this time is Bandanium. He fakes out not just the player and DK but even the other villains as being the Bandanium root, and then transforms into basically the Elder God Bandanium avatar and uses it to transform an entire city.

I don't think him also having his copterpack and his blunderbuss in the fight, instead of solely using Banana themed summons or shapeshifting shit undermines that too much

>>716092579
which is funny because everyone loved the dkc trilogy. even japanese players.

>>716065516
k rool vertical recovery has always been top tier

>>716092234
Yeah, like they did with SMRPG.

>>716088321
K. Rool was a king and had random pirate shit in the first game
I don't see you bitching

>>716092579
Yes, but nobody is making a climax like DKB has without having legitimate love and passion for K Rool. You can't fake this degree of slavish excitement and reverence.

DKVine says that they heard a lot of the people making the game grew up on the DKC titles, and considering they got insider info (how a ultra niche forum managed to get that info is beyond me) on the game existing to begin with, and the amount of fanservice in the ending, I am inclined to believe that.

Maybe the higher ups at Nintendo were ignorant about K Rool's popularity, but once they saw it, they intentionally sought out lower and mid tier staff who were fans to take the reins?

>>716092869
>DKVine says that they heard a lot of the people making the game grew up on the DKC titles
I believe it. That entire final section had too much love thrown in not to be made by people who adored the original games.

>>716065820
void was fucking based. I like the checkmate situation he put dk and pauline in before he got fucked up by k.rool.

haha can i get a banjo game next? please? come on ms you're not doing shit with him as is.

>>716092824
They did not do that.

>>716093245
>wanting toys for bob shit
no thanks
unironically would rather have playtonic do it considering their yooka laylee remake seems actually good

>>716065820
>>716093186
yeah void doesn't deserve to be tossed in with the other losers.

>>716092579
always thought this was code for "we are annoyed you keep asking for the fat crocodile we didn't even made instead of being happy with dr luigi and shill emblem No 25"

>>716093314
I mean a banjo game made by the banaza team. Because I know there's some banjo fans in there. Especially with the rock npcs

>>716048439

>>716074124
I'm upset the ice dragon wasn't a boss in tropical freeze

>>716093402
i don't think their internal studios would ever develop a game for an IP they don't own

>>716093508
then ms should do the sensible thing and give him back. but I know that's not realistic

>>716065820
I liked the Tiki guys tbqh

the new Kong designs are so good
hope Nintendo EPD makes more designs in the future

>>716094786
EPD had two settings this game
>hideous rejected Splatoon garbage
>the most amazing Donkey Kong Country designs you ever saw

>>716093681
Yea, never happening. MS see them owning banjo as the one leverage they have over nintendo and there’s no way they’re ever gonna let go of that power even if it is small
Only scenario I can see it even being a possibility is them offering to sell him back at an exorbitant price nintendo would never agree to

>>716087472

>>716095572
>My Wife's Plunger

>>716094986

honestly i like all the designs, even the elders and the Chris Rock zebras

K Rool is a fun contrast because he's so egregiously not-japanese, straight up saturday morning cartoon character

>>716092586
He's no one's hero

>>716066570
Cranky does outright acknowledge you beating K. Rool in the post-game.It's just more of him saying he's letting DK off the hook than him getting angry. Mostly disappointed the Planet Core rant didn't get changed much.

>>716055541
what the fuck does this even mean

>>716077340
that’s so lame and lazy holy shit

>DK and Pauline both have only one costume in World
>Tsuguo Mogami voices K Rool and also is credited in Mario Kart World but not attributed to any character officially
>this new emblem

hmm

How did he get stuck anyway?

>>716096320
banandium

>>716090942
I'm glad they used Gangplank Galleon for something less expected and more exciting instead of just making it K. Rool's final phase theme. The actual final fight's theme also uses leitmotifs from his fights in DK64 and DKC2, particularly the latter as already pointed out.

>>716095572
He stole his wife's rice cooker!

>>716096320
Supposedly the banandium root somehow just rejected him at first and sealed him as a way to block the path to the final layer.

>>716096409
DKC3's final boss theme also got a riff in the Gangplank Galleon mix they made for the chase fight. Nice to see a good amount of 3 fanservice in the game.

nuh uh

>>716096175
It's a good emblem at that. Kremlings lacked good branding prior.

>>716096579
One of the fractones say that it’s capable of rejecting evil. As for why it didn’t bother after is because it was asleep for so long it didn’t have the power to say no

>>716096809
>k. rool canonically raped the root
damn

>>716088156
I wonder how he feels about plantains. Better yet how would k rool react to the news bananas are threatened with extinction again due to a contagious fungal infection?

So what are all the strats for fighting K Rool? I assume every Bananza power has some way to attack him. I mostly just sucked up his stuff with the Elephant and threw it back at him.

>>716096175
yeah that new emblem just screams mario kart. Plus general use for the kreming krew too.

>>716097408
just Kong punch the balls back at him

>>716037894 (OP)
Super smash kart ultimate amirite

>>716097905
no no bananza finally cemented DK as a mario adjacent serires.

>>716096036
K.Rool likes to eat rotten shit, and only rotten shit apparently.
He stole DK's bananas not only to have him starve, but to leave them out in the sun all day, and eat them when they turn into brown mush.

why would a crocodile eat bananas though, just seize the Feast Layer for infinite burgers

>>716098621
>It is not enough to succeed, others must fail.

>>716092002
Pre-render models=/=real-time render models, even today if they had the old DKC models they'd be useless.

>>716096175
That's such a good emblem. Very cool, unique, and instantly iconic.

>>716098187
Sounds like something a jap person who has no understanding of K rool would come up with

>>716091416

>>716072194

>>716099215
nta, but it's not like there was any indication that the Kremlings WOULDN'T eat the bananas they stole. iirc the only mention of K.Rool disliking them was a localization-only line in Jungle Climber.

>>716037948
Bend over, spread my bussy, and show him how useful I can be.

>>716099446
K.Rool hates dirty monkeys(includes humans), but lusts after them. He needs to be careful, or one day he is going to wake up not racist.

>>716099446
I still remember that short time there was daisy x ridley art

>>716099446
No Rool, you cant cheat!

>>716099875
The girl in the pic is half scally so its ok

They have to announce more updates for MKW at the next direct, right? I know Pokemon is getting one on Wednesday, but are they really not going to have a regular direct before the next quarterly report in August?

>>716102631
NateTheHate already said a Direct is 100% happening this month. It’ll be the last week of July. And yes, there should definitely be DLC for Mario Kart World.

Do you think his wife is upset that her husband has been gone for 18 years

>>716057453
Anon the third thing he does in the game is slap his ugly bastard belly. Also Bowser has been a threat on a galactic level and he appears in shit just fine.
The real point of contention is DK reps as a whole. Diddy alone goes on and off in Mario spinoffs, and Wario gets subtle references at best

>>716103775
Wario's a weird one because the references they do go through with are often blatant as shit (Wario's WL4 Car and WW Motorcycle being in several spinoffs, Diamond City being a track in the Arcade Game, currently in World Drifting Away is one of the Remixes and his pirate outfit is literally just Captain Wario from Game and Wario with a few subtle differences) but there's never enough of them in a single game to feel satisfying. It's like they themselves aren't sure if they want Wario's world to exist in tandem with Mario's or just be it's own thing that can do whatever it wants. Hopefully, with Bananza acting as a pretty firm bridge between DK and Mario, Wario's own games finds their answer soon.

How would (You) react if these guys got in as "Generic NPC" racers?

>>716102631

oh yeah theres gonna be more MK World content soon
like here's Touring Pauline with the rest of the Touring girls

I like how Cranky was chasing him with a shovel

>>716102631
>They have to announce more updates for MKW at the next direct, right?
Maybe something small like a free update that adds some costumes and maybe a mode.

Actual content, like new tracks and such, that will take awhile. They'll probably release an expansion to World sometime next year.

>>716106408
Not to mention if they're going to add K. Rool, then they're going to have to wait much longer until Bananza is old news, it wouldn't make sense to give his presence in the game right away by tying him to a Bananza themed update like a week after the game came out.

They've obviously been planning a tie-in before either game came out. Most if not all the assets are probably already done. Almost certainly happening before the end of the year.

Game’s not even a week old, give it time

>>716111880
literally what were they thinking building an entire new DK themed area right before they were gonna completely redesign him

>>716113787
Because they thought it would be out long before the game would, so peoples last impression of DK would be from the Returns games.

>>716113787
remarkable lack of brand awareness from the company in charge of the largest brand in the world, honestly
if they were going to change pikachu's cheek spots to be orange or something you know they'd be rolling it out across every form of pokemon media uniformly

>>716086237
Rotten bananas are actually a good way to make your own yeast. You could do it with apples but those keep for much longer so it's kind of a waste.

>>716102783
You could but you can actually go through the whole sequence without hitting him once, only requirement is to survive long enough to get to the surface.

>>716095572
>Cape is rolled up when he's wearing his jetpack
They cared enough to have this for a sequence that doesn't even last 2 minutes

>>716097408
>I assume every Bananza power has some way to attack him
Yes the devs actually thought about giving all of your forms time to shine.
>Kong
He does the most damage if you just want to unga bunga through the fight, more importantly he's the only one that can punch the iron balls to make them hit K. Rool or other balls.
>Zebra
Obviously the fastest to avoid attacks. In his final form K. Rool gets stuck in a hall of gold if you knock the giant ball back at him, and he'll start throwing walls of fists at you. You can charge dash through these and ram K. Rool to stun him.
>Ostrich
If you have egg bombs unlocked you can send them into the vacuum move he does to jam the gun, an obvious callback to DKC2. Egg bombs are also good to clear out mush if you're flying over it.
>Elephant
Extremely important because K. Rool leaves a shitton of mush all over the place which hinders your movement, it doesn't get erased on its own unless K. Rool does the vacuum move. Mush gets turned to gold when you suck it up, which you can throw at more mush (including the giant hands) to make more gold or stun K. Rool when he's popping out of the mush like some weasel.
>Snake
If you don't have egg bombs you can use Snake to jump over the vacuum move or to just get around generally. Slowing down time works on everything in the fight, which is especially useful when he starts shooting the balls with the funny patterns. If you upgraded the charge jump you can hit the ceiling lights

>>716116597
>snake bananza
oh really? does the light get stuck on his head like in 64?

>>716113787
It takes a significantly longer time to plan out theme parks than it does video games, and unlike video games you can't just wipe away work and start over when designing attractions. Don't forget a lot of this shit was planned around the same time as the Mario movie talks, so all DK had at the time were the tikis and the snowmads.

>>716103750
You know with the timing they could easily give him a kid as a counterpart to Bowser Jr but deserted

Diddy's had the jetpack since 64

I minded. But they corrected it in DK64 and she was sexy again instead of that French monstrosity.

>>716066760
That's what made DKC work; it was a western british take on the Mario world, part of it anyway. All the elements, characters and settings were done by outsiders of the Japanese circle. Look at Bowser's minions and then look at the Kremlings. Night and day. Even the dynamics of the protagonists are different. Usually it's just Mario and Luigi. In the RPG's, it's just Mario most of the time. Meanwhile in the first game, DK and Diddy had Funky, Candy and Cranky and then in DKC2, Funky, Swanky, Cranky and Wrinkly. By DKC3, you had a whole crew behind the playable Kongs and even more in DK64, there's a whole cast standing by DK. Even if you didn't like him not being playable in DKC/L2/3, the fact that he had so much support stands out from Mario, who only has himself, maybe his brother and Yoshi alongside a group of Toads. That pales in comparison to the Kongs.

>>716117972
Based Konger

>>716097408
I just alternated between Kong and Elephant. If you're fast enough you can wail on him with punches as Kong when you punch the iron balls back without needing to switch to Zebra. Elephant for purposes like the other anon said he will cover the stage with shit that can damage you and it won't go away on its own unless he vaccums it and even them its not all of it and it goes right back to being covered in shit so you use Elephant to clear out the shit so you have room to dodge stuff

Void Kong may have been a kleptomaniac corporate terrorist but he didn’t deserve all that. His fight was fun!

>>716117794
Remember how big he was in 64?

>>716113787
Theme parks take time and a LOT of money, especially when the company that runs the park works with a franchise they don't directly own. Imagine you're Universal, not only opening up a DK land in your safe and established Japan park but in your brand spanking new Florida extension that you're directly trying to steal Disney World's thunder with. Would you want to introduce it with a brand new, untested redesign before the games associated with it even release?
On the plus side, the Florida park especially is probably hoping to introduce new things in the next decade to use the space and keep momentum, and the game's positive reception will probably drive up a lot of hype for that.

>>716102783
you could grab chunks to throw at him and it would stop him from attacking you for a while since he gets knocked back down every time you do it

>>716116597
Tossing a chunk of gold into the vacuum move also detonates it. Elephant is god-tier in that fight.

I'm sad that the kremlings only showed up at the end

For the situation in which Microsoft would sell Rare's IPs to Nintendo what would need to happen would be
>Sea of Thieves would have to longer be seen as profitable
>Microsoft is secretly discussing negotiating Rare's IPs to Nintendo
>They cancelled Everwild to prepare shutting down Rare (and also because it was in development Hell)
>Perfect Dark got cancelled because it's also a Rare IP (aside from being in development Hell)
>Rare goes bust and Sea of Thieves shuts down
>Microsoft sells the entire Rare IP catalog to Nintendo who for some reason agrees to pay presumably millions of dollars for them even though they have no resources available to support one let alone all of them
>Microsoft uses the money for other projects (probably AI)

artstyle looks familiar, did the guy work on touhou related media too?

>>716097134
>>716056970
It's true, I do it all the time, it's quite pleasurable

K Rool is such a big dick chad that he did the Zant/Ganondorf twist and everyone loves him for it.

>>716124952
It's eromame and he did some touhou stuff

>>716037894 (OP)
Cranky has been talking about K.Rool all this fucking time.
It didn't dawn on me until after he told me, after I beat the game, even though he was throwing hints Damn, Iam slow

>>716095547
What leverage?
People do have nostalgia for Banjo but Nintendo has more than enough IPs already. It is also a platformer like many other Nintendo franchises.
They have no reason to be interested about Banjo other than some cameos.
Microsoft can say that yeah you are not getting Banjo in Smash. And?

>>716126613
I think it's the fact that he literally hijacks the entire game and plot out of nowhere rather than the game acting like "it was K.Rool all along". Like if it had turned out void was working for K.Rool rather than having happened to find him and get punted into lava afterwards.
Of course, the reality is that there's probably more people who would enjoy Twilight Princess less if Ganondorf wasn't in it at the end to make it some sort of definitive zelda experience.

>>716068917
Get new material

>>716049621
Do you like women who do this in real life?

>>716126613
>>716131238

The twist works because you can replace K. Rool with any sort of ancient evil and the plot would largely play out exactly the same. Void is consumed by his greed and unleashes something that he shouldn't which ends being his undoing, and afterwards it's up to the heroes to clean up the mess, it's fairly basic video game plot stuff that works.

In comparison things like General Scales in Star Fox Adventures and Ganondorf in Twilight Princess don't work as well because in the former's case, he doesn't even get to exist in actual gameplay and Andross being revived literally comes out of nowhere (even Dinosaur Planet's version of the story, which similarly has Scales as merely a pawn to a greater threat) does a far better job building up to Drakor and eventually the Krazoa). Meanwhile in TP's case, Zant goes from a serious and intimidating antagonist to being a weird joke before being unceremoniously replaced by Ganondorf who's just boring because he has no connection to Midna or any of the other characters the way Zant did and just shows up because they wanted to pander to OOT fanboys.

>I think it's the fact that he literally hijacks the entire game and plot out of nowhere
I wouldn't say nowhere. All that was left for Void was his comeuppance for refusing to change and being cruel to his underlings. The usual trope is the big mcguffin is le bad and the villain's greed ends up killing him. That's basically what happened here, except instead of the root itself being evil, it was K Rool, the most evil guy in the DK universe.
