Why did he have his armor designed to have a pregnant belly?

>>719140260 (OP)
belly sexo

>>719140738
He's just really fat because he's a vile glutton

>>719140260 (OP)
Why the fuck isn't he in Mario Kart yet

Even if you were spoiled, or in the unlikely event that you weren't, it was a great buildup to this

>>719140784
No, the golden belly is armor. You can see it crack in this very game

>>719140909
Yes, but it's set over a fat stomach because he's obese

I like to imagine if K.Rool ever had a Bowser Jr. type subordinate, they'd have a perpetual black eye instead of a bloodshot one.

Refreshing

>>719140260 (OP)
Is he gay?

>>719141261
He has no capacity for attraction to other beings, that would detract from his round the clock adoration of himself.

>>719141131
That would be funny. I always wondered if Rare intended for Krunch to become just that as they had bigger plans for all the Diddy Kong Racing cast, but it just never happened due to, you know, everything imploding and the Kremlings slowly getting phased out.
>>719141261
For himself, absolutely. He's the ultimate narcissist.

I really love bananza but I'm only playing little bits of it at a time, I'm still in the forest area
is that weird?

>>719141571
not really

>>719141261
He mentions he has a wife in DKC3 but that could just be his usual schizo babble

>>719141310
He has a wife, you know.

>>719140791
him and all the other kremlings with models in Bananza
if they really pulled that "you can play as every enemy!" and then stopped before adding enemies i actually want to play as i'm firebombing nintendo

>>719140260 (OP)
K. Rool fans always struck me as the type of people to be into vore for some reason.

>>719141693
I just think he's funny.

Needs Bluster Kong in the Nutty Putty vein.

>>719140260 (OP)
Same voice actor by the way.

>>719140791
The voice actor for Bananza K.rool is listed in the Mario kart world credits along with the Void Kong voice actor. So it’s fairly likely he’ll be added imminently.

>>719142221
Damn, I like this new K.rool voice even more now. Much better than the other voices in games such as jungle climber that simply sounded way too much like a guy simply yelling instead of big guttural beast.

>>719142629
Man and i thought his smash design was perfect but he looks even better in bananza

King of Rot

>>719143198
Malenia sisters our response

>>719143198
I like his Japanese title better.
>King of Rotten Bananas, King "Rotten" K.Rool

>>719141693
That's because we are.

>>719140260 (OP)
Fucking based, I hope he shows up in Sonic Crossworlds, Kirby Air Riders or Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

>>719140260 (OP)
I'm very pleased that they kept his design the same.

>>719141651
They mention his wife again in the description for the KAOS fossil.

>>719142664
I like how they kept to the tradition of giving K. Rool a new costume/persona in every new DK game.

>>719140705
Based.

are there no voices in the dk game?
i just started and everything seems oddly quiet

Why is he so sexy bros... I'm so jealous of his wife...

Why isn't Donkey Kong allowed to he Donkey Kong in a Donkey Kong game?

I meant sidekick that's not Diddy

>>719142664
they had the chance to call him King Decay Rool and they flubbed it

>>719151795
That pun wouldn't work in any language that wasn't English.

Pauline speaks in English sentences, everyone else grunts...that's about it.

These niggas are alright.

>>719154276
i just finished transforming pauline now and she didnt have a voice, i had to change my settings from surround sound to stereo for some reason and now it works
it just sucks i missed the entire first level with no voices

>>719154836
Oddrock didn't have much of a voice, and it's very low and distorted.

>>719152584
Then use the English word in those languages, the Japanese version of Bananza already uses "Rotten" the same way 64 does "Krusha".

>>719141693
>blunderbuss vore

I want to talk about just how insane is characterization is in Bananza. He's genuinely just evil.

>>719142629
Are people absolutely sure they that they aren't voicing any of the random shitter minions?

I just beat this yesterday. It's gonna be crazy in 4 years when browns can afford to play it and claim it was a hidden gem.
>no one knew about this game
>no one was able to get a switch 2 when it was released
>it's actually great!? who would have known

that last boss fight was actually insane I died a shit ton and finally upgraded my health. I didn't know what to do or what I was doing wrong or why I was retarded. It was cool as fuck. I kind of just want to go through again and slorp up entire levels as the elephant because it's funny. Get that tie that makes chests spawn and find all the missing bananas or fossils I wandered by without noticing.

>>719140260 (OP)
I don't know how they managed to top Odyssey's final sequence but they did

>>719158117
What is that whole first part about? Practically everyone, even people who haven't played it yet, thinks Bananza looks like a great game outside of DK's design

>>719160232
It's not a game you can emulate yet so take a guess

so we all agree this was a prequel to dk country right?

>paulina young
>explains why dk has an infinite banana hoard beneath his house before it gets stolen
>explains why k rool has an eternal grudge against dk in the rest of the games

>>719140705
Right down the gullet? haha

>>719161154
No. The fossils show otherwise.

>>719163347

Oh, so the game just outright makes no sense whatsoever and Nintendo has written themselves into a corner?

>>719156360
>completely insane sadist that hates everyone and everything that isn't him and will consume the whole world with magic powers just to feed his infinite greed and ego
Hmm

>>719161154
I think K. Rool being stuck in the core is to explain where he's been for the past number of games

>>719140705
Would you let him turn you into rotten banana mush haha

>>719167790
Explain how making all these references past dkc makes it make anymore sense

Joseph Anderson is playing and dislikes the game. It’s over DK bros…

>>719140909
Why did he have his armor designed with a belly button? Especially since crocodiles don't have belly buttons?

>>719151634
Imagine if there were a trilogy of games where you play as DK/DK friend with a sidekick. It could have animal buddies or animal transformations and you'd collect gold (in the form of coins and letters). Sounds crazy, right?

There needs to be an universal ban on the internet for anyone born after 1989. You dumb fuck zoomers ruin everything.

>>719171189
>That's right cocksucker, go back to Kong Island!

>>719173224
Some Kremlings have belly buttons

>>719141693
Literally any character with a pot belly will attract vorefags.

>>719141693
He's a big, fat, greedy anthropomorphic animal. I'd be surprised if there WEREN'T any vorefags.

>>719158715
I know they wouldn't go hire the DKC cartoon guy, but you can tell his dialogue was written as if he was reading it.

The krock has some sick final boss tunes

>>719141693
???
I don't give a shit about that. His multiple personas schtick is funny, he's got great boss tunes, and I like that he's just an unrepentant scumbag, so funny as he is, you enjoy DK giving him a much deserved ass kicking at the end of every game.

Whatever the "furry" or "scaly" gene is, I just don't have it apparently, people randomly bringing up sexual aspects to animal characters is just baffling to me every time.

>>719140260 (OP)
So let me get this straight:
- Unknown time ago KRool and his krew descend to the planet's core for the Bananium mcguffain
- Planet core is somewhat sentient, realized how evil KRool is and managed to imprison him somewhat close to the core
- Rest of the krew is trapped on the lowest levels for an unknown amount of time, lamenting when their boss gets freed he's going to take his anger out on them and everyone else
Kind of...weak. I wish they did a better job foreshadowing KRool.

>>719177789
The Crockoid enemies were pretty clearly foreshadowing the Kremlings.

>>719177916
When I first fought the crockoids I thought these would be perfect kremling enemies but I thought they were under the umbrella of VoidCo

>>719177916
then you break open the ones in the bottom layer and there's actually a Kremling inside, great little surprise

>>719140260 (OP)
overrated fatso
Obese guy isn't scary

>>719177789
Cranky's rants also hint at him. He's chasing after the banana thief, who's really greedy, and has sharp teeth and claws, and flies around in the air...

>kremlings built a large statue of K. Rool and are worshiping it
>celebrate his return in NDC and work for him to stop DK
They might follow him out of fear, but they seem to genuinely respect him as well

>>719179157
Might be also in the hopes of placating him when he inevitably returns to lessen the obligatory thrashing.

>>719167790
Nintendo fags need to realize Nintendo has never given a shit about persistent lore. The Zelda chronology book shit was made to make money off over-invested retards. Never, ever, was there any plan for all these games in these series to have this deep continued storyline. Too many of you retards can't accept this and then get suckered into attempts to monetize the idea of a forced storyline. Just let it go. They are games made to play for a bit, have some fun, and not think about too much.

I like the uneasy atmosphere of the Forbidden Layer and the post reveal Kremling Kourt also being kind of eerie with its music and vast dark location, then you hit an enemy and
>OUGH
I burst out laughing. They drop a few good tension breaking gags in there like the seemingly melancholy "resting place" of the Exploratone shortly before the big showdown, then you dig and he's literally just sleeping there, a "dirtnap".
Just to remind you that while yes this is the serious part of the game, it's not THAT serious, you're stilling a gorilla chasing a mad crocodile after a magic banana.

K Rool was cool but the hardest fight was definitely Void, so rough that he was tanking the Switch 2 performance

>>719184741
Pauline mentions her grandma enough for it to be lightly suggested that Lady of the original game could be the very same grandma, along with the young Cranky. Along with the 8-bit fossils in the Planet Core. As for Mario/Jumpman, that's just not addressed at all, and its own can of worms. No need to take all of it too seriously anyway.

>>719184946
King of Rot K. Rool starting battering the framerate when he coated the ring in mush, but yeah, Void Kong's circle of terrain attack was a neat effect but clearly way beyond the Switch 2's capacity.

I kind of appreciate they just went "fuck it put it ALL in" for the finale though, regardless of how much the console was gonna chug. Not a chance this game could have worked on Switch 1.

>>719184401

>>719183142
There's a lot of nice touches to make the final areas a little more ominous, like once you're approaching the "Banadium Root" (actually K. Rool), there's no music if you use a Bananza form, just silence.

>"I HATE MONKEYS," he thought

why isnt there a game where the player is a cool, unapologetic lizard guy like King K Rool but as a good guy?
I would buy that game in an instant, I dont care the genre or quality. I just want to be a no nonsense lizard dude.

Had to stop the game for a bit when Stickerbush Symphony came up and just take it all in.

I wonder if Pauline's sing power idea came from that cancelled Retro Studios game that leaked sometime ago.

I was sure he was in, so it was never going to be a surprise for me but "being right about K Rool" by seeing a spoiler is not the same was waiting until that moment he shows up.

>>719141131
With all the humor and references to the rare era of DK, nintendo probably came to the logical conclusion that making DK a mario 2.0 takes away what makes him unique. K Rool's wife showing up or another family member to bother him while he schemes would fit more than another simple underling.

>>719156360
We never knew why K Rool stole those bananas, Rare never gave an explanation, him actually liking rotten bananas is actually clever idea.

>>719167790
No, current DK is simply much much younger than Mario and Pauline is not the Pauline from Odyssey.

I don't dislike any of them though.

>>719156360
He's one dimensional as fuck with zero depth or characterization
Which is perfectly fine. Just gotta be done sparingly. It works in Bananza because he hasn't had a meaningful appearance in decades and gets to steal the show in a lighthearted game. If they keep trying to use him again and again after this he'll eventually just morph back into another sympathetic villain

>wakes up after a stasis of god knows how long
>immediately punches a Kong

>>719179745
Koizumi gave a shit about Zelda having an interconnected story, then he got kicked over to Mario and was replaced by Aonuma who didn't give a fuck and essentially shut out Link to the Past in favor of WW and TP.

"MONKEYS could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this layer before. There could be MONKEYS anywhere."
The subterranean warmth felt good against his armored gut. "FILTHY MONKEYS" he thought.
Crocodile Cacaphony reverberated the entire layer, making it pulsate even as the 9 Kremkoin rotten banana mush circulated through his powerful thick digestive tract and fuelled his (merited) hatred of mammaliorities regardless of the time of day.
"With a helipack, you can go anywhere you want" He said to himself, out loud.

>Pauline starts raping faster than Eminem

>>719140825
honestly even knowing just that he was there beforehand didn't prepare me at all for how fucking unhinged the last part of the game was. the fact that he shows up by fucking clocking the midget kong out of the game, the gauntlet of retro enemies, the fakeout death that they gave just enough time to make you question, the entirety of fucking new donk. its crazy how hard they went for him

>>719200094
I think it's really cool how after going down the whole game, NDC turns into a climb like the original DK.
Honestly, it's absolutely crazy how much this game is a love letter to DKs history

>>719156360
K. Roll went to the Ridley school of villainy. It’s why they had to join Smash together.

>>719156360
Bowser had to become more sympathetic as time went on as they don't want kids becoming scared when he kidnaps Peach again, and they can't have a regular character in Kirby be scary as that'd be a weird tonal mismatch (One off final bosses are fine) But K. Rool's rival is a big, strong gorilla so they can keep him slobberingly evil.

>>719140825
Being spoiled on the ending made me enjoy it even more.
>There's no way K. Rool causes 9/11 on NDC. Nintendo would never do that. /v/ is just shitposting again

>>719189652
I'm disappointed with Cranky, but I suppose japanese translated into english was never really going to capture that dry british wit.

>>719200094

I found out Gang-Plank Galleon was in ahead of time, though once I experienced how it was implemented made the spoil not seem to matter at all

>>719203378
Yeah, "King K. Rool is in the game" does absolutely nothing to spoil the actual finale of the game which just gets more and more crazy starting from the Forbidden Layer. I had expected from the start for him to make SOME appearance, even if it was a cameo, or a small tease for a future appearance. I certainly didn't expect the DKC (and Odyssey) extravaganza the climax of the game is.

for me the Gangplank Galleon blaring while you rapidly ascend up the layers towards the surface on the golden pillar dodging K. Rool flying around, just a great setpiece
