Is this some inside joke I'm missing? People changing their avatars for this lol. In terms of aesthetics, King K.Rool is an abomination of design. Although the Smash artists cleaned him up some.
He barely registered in pop culture like a Bowser or even a Ridley. Did Smash fans just want another villain? And, for the record, I'm a Smash fan. Again, Ridley I get since Metroid only had one rep, or two if you wanna play around with Zero Suit as another entry.
DK has two entries, actually three since Mario originated in DK, right? I know I'm stretching it here. And I'm sure Funky will be a echo fighter of DK too. No surprise there.
What's the appeal here?
