2 K.rool 4 S.kool
The reveal ofDonkey Kong Country’snaughty monarch King K.RoolforSuper Smash Bros. Ultimatewas a very happy surprise for the majority of theSmashcommunity, but the character’s creator, Gregg Mayles, has put outan amusing tweetvoicing his regret.
Not regret over K.Rool making it to the heady heights of theSmash Bros.franchise, nor even regret that itcould have been Shantaeinstead. But Mayles wistfully muses over the villain’s goofy moniker.
In his defence, it was the early ’90s. If your villain’s name wasn’t a play on words, then it didn’t mean jack. See the enemies of almost every single cartoon show of that era for further evidence, the best beingCaptain Planet’sgreedy businessman; Luton Plunder.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimatelaunches on Nintendo Switch December 7.
Never expected old K.Rool to make it out of DKC, let alone turn up in#SmashBros nearly 25 years later. Maybe I should have spent a bit more than 5 minutes coming up with his slightly rubbish name.https://t.co/X5PZpR54c2
