This final battle feels like the real deal. It's not a glorified running away from Bowser level like 3D World, or a glorified thematic finish like Zelda botw/totk and Mario Odyssey, with a fight that ends in like 3 hits.

No. You are wailing punches at this gross ass mother fucker while he throws as much shit at you as the framerate allows.

How you defeat k.rool is entirely dependent on what you learned throughout the game, and your mastery of the bananza transformations.

The game doesn't directly tell you to punch his cannon balls at him, or to use elephant to suck up the goop and throw shit back into his gun, or slow down time with snake to get more hits in.

FINALLY!

No

Forgot about that slowdown thing. Tried beating the game without getting any bananas after 100%ing the main game. Spamming rolling punches does fast damage to him

>>716275909
Why can't we appreciate game of the year anon?

>>716276071
we already appreciate expedition 33

>>716276152
lol. At least the ring in DK can be a reference to 64

Im happy his main weapon was the blunderbuss, but really could 've used some crown throws or shoot two cannon balls and then link them with lightning

>>716276108
You spelled "Donkey Kong Bananza" wrong. Maybe you're speaking Spanish tho, idk.

>>716276071
The game is decent but please stop coping. It’s not THAT good. I understand you need to justify the $70 you spent on it, you need to justify the $500 you spent on a console of which this game is only its second. But please stop being disingenuous just to stick it to the “snoys”. It’s an extremely mid collectathon with mediocre platforming and brainless terrain destruction.

>>716276337
I am assuming you played the game then, right anon?

>>716276337
>But please stop being disingenuous
ironic

>>716276108
Astroturfed game

>>716275872 (OP)
It seems the mario devs understand boss fights a bit more now. If you payed attention, the 100% fury bowser fight has a very similar structure to it. I hope the next 3D mario will have a satisfying finale on this games level. Odyssey Bowser was a temu final boss in production value.

i've only now come to realize that void kong is the closest thing we'll get to a canon bluster

the k rool fight is worse than void kong's fights, prove me wrong.

>>716276227
its only going to win the "Best Family Game" award. Cope.

OHHHH ZEEEBRAAAA, ZEEEBRAAA, ZEEBRAAA!

>>716279273
why would i do that? do you want me to prove you wrong? do you not believe in your own opinion enough that you NEED to hear my sentiment?

>>716280364
no i just like to argue. i think arguing is fun. i definitely feel void kong's fights are the best fights in the game, the only fights that are actually interesting, and if forced to argue i may have to develop this thesis and create good reasoning. so there is a benefit to arguing here.

it's not that k rools fight is terrible, it just does feel a lot like bowser in odyssey to me. im waiting for him to do something and then pressing y to put him in a downed phase. at least with void kong, there is a sense i am not waiting, the ability to cycle void kong is on me. the same way the other fights in the game can feel controlled mostly by you rather than the enemy. void kong is this too, except you have to respect him, you cannot one cycle him and you have to deal with his patterns.

k rool is very much similar to a 3d mario bowser fight in that it feels dominated by waiting around for him, which can feel a bit boring personally cuz his attacks are more easily dealt with than void kong, who just has more hitboxes going off all the time.

>>716279273
It's only worse because Void Kong has stable fps
From a technical stand point Rot King is a disgrace.
Though K. Rool is a lot more reactive, Void Kong is simply too easy to just throw shit at for most of the fight. His shield phase is neat, but since you can easily just jump over the walls it ends up as kinda nothing.
Better on Switch 3, I'm sure.

Why was he at the end of the game? I haven't played it, but from what I've read it sounds like a pretty low effort attempt at fanservice. Like imagine in Star Fox Assault if it turned out the real final antagonist was Borg Andross.
Actually, that sounds fucking kino. I recant my question.

>>716276065
wtf how did you get to 1000? Is that how you got 3 stars too?

>>716280961
Grind 50 more Chip Exchanges. Idk I had 2 stars until I got the last record. The first star is beating the game.

>>716280265
>ZEBRA-ZEBRA-ZEBRA-ZEBRA

>>716280857
The entire finale of the game is the devs showing you how the DKC enemies were everywhere the entire time, how NPCs talked about K.Rool etc.
He's not just slapped in at the end as fanservice, the Kremling Krew was planned from the very beginning.
The fake ending and Gangplank Galleon are pure fan service but I don't mind. I am a fan and am being serviced.

>>716281062
Oh that makes more sense that it would be for the records. I'll grind those out.

>>716280857
>low effort attempt at fanservic

It's fanservice but I wouldn't call it low effort

>>716280857
>I haven't played it, but from what I've read
filthy /v/igger

>>716281228
I don't have $600 + tip to hand out to lazy chinks like Nintendo

>>716280857
You read wrong.

>>716280857
>low effort attempt at fanservice
It's low effort but I wouldn't call it fanservice, more like lame memberberries.

>>716281228
You can't complain about people not playing something that is only released on a shitty handheld that can't even run it properly despite being the only legitimate option to play it. Now if the game in question came out on a real platform, you'd have a point.

>>716281638
How is it lame? We've wanted K Rool back in a DK game for a long time. The warrants some spectacle.

>>716275872 (OP)
He looks fucking ugly like everything else in this game.
I don't know how you people like this shit.

>>716281708
It is a real platform. It has games. Unlike another platform we know

He doesn't feel like how Rare would have made him. He feels like how Splatoon devs would have made him.

>>716276108

Game for faggots and midwits could've been a shitty anime and achieve the same effect

>>716281793
male cat owners should be on government lists

>K. Rool was just trapped underground for 18 years
Thanks Nintendo

>>716281836
Wow. What a profound observation.

>>716281742
Not him but did he serve any real purpose, other than just being shoved into the ending, presumably because they realized midway through production their OC donut steel antagonists were as boring and forgettable as everything they've produced for the last 20 years has been?

>>716281941
>presumably because they realized midway through production
K. Rool was in from the start. You'd know that if you played the game.

>>716275872 (OP)
do NOT ship K.Rool with Malenia

>>716281941
Weak bait.

PLEASE ship K.Rool with Malenia

>>716282081
I said I didn't you fat homo, that's why I'm asking questions. Jesus Christ you're thicker than the strap-on your alligator boyfriend pegs you with.

>>716281742
The whole game is lame and gay. Nothing about it is DK. I didn't want another DK nor any K. Rool in it if it was going to be this shit.

>>716282263
I'm just reminding you that your opinion means nothing. Nobody cares about what some fat brown retard read about the game

>>716282263
You ask questions like a rhetorical retard. VoidCo. has charm, and K. Rool's been teased from the beginning. Poppy and Grumpy also quit a bit over halfway and aid DJ at times.

>>716282371
Oh, so you didn't play it. Maybe you can figure out a way to play DKC on your phone to cope

>>716281929
It is thank you. The entire game is Splatoon bosses.

>>716282371
Don't care what some playcuck who just reads instead of plays games for himself says. Game's a billion times better than Retro's first stab at the franchise and a trillion times better than DK64.

>>716282489
Oh and also I'm trans.

>>716282638
Only trannies hate this game because you play as an ape instead of getting broken by one.

>>716282083
I wasn't before but I am now

>>716281836
Rare would have made him go down in anywhere between 1 to 9 hits after highly telegraphing everything to the point he stares at the camera.

3D platformers never have good bosses. They're just serviceable. K.Rool is cool because it's just a giant rollercoaster of coolness from beginning to end, but mechanically it's really simple.

>>716282696
I'm trans and I love Bananza! It made me experience gender euphoria, I really identified with Pauline! :)
I don't like any of the DKCs, like at all.

>>716282954
>I'm trans and I love Bananza! It made me experience gender euphoria, I really identified with Pauline! :)
>I don't like any of the DKCs, like at all.

>>716282954
>I'm trans
Good for you, but you don't have to hate on Bananza just because you can't play it on your 'eck.

>>716282638
>loses argument because he didn't play the game
>immediately goes full argmentum ad transium
Buying Bananza right now to spite cucks like you.

>>716283049
baited like a fucking fiddle

>>716283592
Sour cuckgrape.

>>716280857
There are hints at him and the kremlings throughout the entire game, but I do agree that overall making it a big reveal was fanservice but it was the fun kind since it was set up.

>>716283592
>baited like a fucking fiddle
Not beating the brown allegations

>>716275872 (OP)
Yeah, god forbid a game about platforming end with a platforming segment.

>>716283592
>I'm just pretending to be retarded

You already forgot Raven Beak, huh? Kirby and the Forgotten Land had a great final boss too.

>>716275872 (OP)
Raven Beak was DEFINITELY a better boss fight by every metric.

BUT, this final boss was excellent too.

>>716285209
Not only his boss fight, but just his role as a villain is played so well

>>716285209
Metroid doesn't count. It is the ONE franchise that Nintendo aims at a slightly older audience. Bananza is made by the Odyssey team and that game's "final boss" was actually babby tier. This was a huge step up.
Btw I like Dread a lot.

>>716281083
>I am a fan and am being serviced.
This
Why would I complain about the fan service when it's finally my turn?

She loved the fight as well

I used snake to jump the gun suck in first phase but I threw it in the cannon for the rot fight. I forgot slow-down was a feature for snake, I barely ever used it. Used all the other forms though, even zebra to close distances.

Imagine this
>New DK game
>K.Rool is the villain, now with a space theme.
>Has somehow gotten even more deranged than last time
>THIS motherfucker shows up, kicks K.Rool's ass, and assumes the villain role for the rest of the game

>>716286753
This guy and K. Rool are the only DK final bosses with a presence but Jungle Beat was played by very few so they never saw this.

>>716286827
Ghastly King just looks sinister as all hell. Like, even K.Rool's rot form doesn't look this intimidating.

>>716279273
Yeah Void Kong’s is more fun. K. Rool is doing the same stuff a lot. Both are way better than the other bosses in the game but the moth in Tempest was pretty cool at least.

>>716286753
I feel like Bananza needed some of the Jungle Beat intensity

>>716286958
He also rides a giant pig who’s the king of the pigs and you fight those hogs in the game so he’s tamed another race. He’s powerful.

>>716287156
Honestly I feel like they should've incorporated more of the acrobatics and martial arts DK used in JB into Bananza

>>716275872 (OP)
Raven Beak is still way better and easily clears every other modern Nintendo boss. I did appreciate how K Rool was finally an actual boss in the game where all the others went down in 30 seconds.

>>716286672
Ive seen too many e-whores with that crown of thorns tattoo.

Also yeah the final boss of Kirby and the Forgotten Land was great too. I'd argue it's about as good as K Rool. Forgot it's whack ass name though isn't it like Elfis or something.

>>716287381
Elfilis/Fecto Forgo

>>716287381
the hidden final boss of that game was hard as fuck, genuinely souls level, and equally as satisfying, I was shocked it came from a Kirby game. Although I later found out that you can level up some abilities further than the regular 3 levels so that porbably would have made it easier.

SNAAAAAKEEEE!

Odyssey had a really hype ending sequence but the final bowser fight was kinda lame. Break Free or whatever it was called was a cool song and capturing Bowser was nice. Bananza’s is better in every way though.

>>716275872 (OP)
Its the best last boss fight of any "Mario" IP

>>716287603
>>716287871
Right. And yeah the final final boss of Forgotten Lands was actually pretty rough. I find that's often the case with Kirby games though. 99% of the game is pretty easy then they slap your shit with a 'Soul' fight that fucks you up.

Also "Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit" is the coolest boss theme name in any game ever.

>>716287927
>Break Free or whatever it was called was a cool song
Not sure how I feel about Nintendo's recent trend of "let's have vocal songs in our games with 'What If Game Song Had Lyrics' tier lyrics".

>>716288150
I thought the lyrics in Odyssey (Jump Up Superstar and Break Free) were surprisingly okay.
This game though? Bad. Felt like they just gave up and had her sing the game's plot out while trying to squeeze the syllables down to fit.

>>716288150
I liked it.

You faggots don't appreciate the big picture. Donkey Kong having a ton of enemies would make for a better Warriors game than if just Mario did one.
>Kongs
>Kremlings
>Tiki Tak Tribe
>Snowmads
>Jungle Beat enemies could fit in somewhere
Either way that's more actual factions than just Mushroom Kingdom vs Koopa Troop.

>>716280857
Oh no, Nintendo brought back a beloved villain after several decades! What a horrible idea!
Everyone knows you should never give the fans something they would like!
Yeah, this game would have been totally better with a generic Retro design that looks like it came out of a mid 2000s Nickelodeon show

>beat K. Rool
>Gang Plank Galleon plays
>fake credits roll
This got me unfortunately, literally got chills for some reason

16½ hour singleplayer game for 680$

>>716289194
I mean. If Nintendo weren't so adverse to pulling stuff from their Mario spin-offs, a Mario Warriors game would have quite the bevy of options for villains and characters to pull than just the base Mario roster + Daisy and Waluigi.

>>716289570
You could just pirate it from a truck and store shelf like I did for free

>>716275872 (OP)
Wack and goofy as fuck
Give me more boss fights like Raven Beak

>>716275872 (OP)
>botw/totk
I don't really agree with equating those two as if they're the same in this regard. The stuff you've said applies about as much to TotK's Ganondorf, the Demon Dragon to me clearly felt like a victory lap type of thing.

>>716275872 (OP)
>Nintendo finally made a REAL final boss fight?

Not nearly as good as Raven Beak. Bananza just had me wishing I was playing Odyssey.
I've always said Mario had better 3D games, and DK had better 2D games, and Bananza just reinforced that.

>>716289923
Bananza is better than every 3D Mario game.

>>716290241
No, and once the honeymoon phase wears off, you'll agree.
Odyssey, Galaxy 1/2 are better 3D games, and Tropical Freeze is still the best DK game.

>>716275872 (OP)
I just used the elephant Bananaza and it made the fight trivial.

>>716290395
>Odyssey
Great game, but Bananza has more creative level design and better movement. Bananas are better than Moons as well since they function as upgrades and not just an arbitrary progression block.
>Galaxy 1/2
Galaxy 1 is dogshit. Cuckzumi will never make a good game. Just at this masterpiece of level design with some of the worst power-ups in the history of platforming power-ups. 2 is better but it's only okay.

>>716280857
cause they wanted it to be a surprise and if he was shown earlier people would've known about ti before launch
