Does this really deserve a page? Sure, when he's there you get unique music, but that doesn't affect the game in any way. We might as well have a page for Harriett and the Able Sisters. They have about the same role. ---Preceding unsigned comment added by you. Or maybe Nutta. 19:36, 5 December 2014 (EST)

I agree with deleting. Background characters don't deserve pages. TepigSprite.pngTepig (talk) 17:58, 11 December 2014 (EST)
Oppose, K.K.'s presence is responsible for a unique mechanic (using different music based on time/date) and the additional relevance of his trophy in Melee seals the deal. Miles (talk) 12:13, 17 December 2014 (EST)
Oppose. I agree with Miles on this. PikaSamus (talk) PikaSamus 12:15, 17 December 2014 (EST)
Oppose If K.K. was simply watching the match, I could have supported. However, as Miles said, he plays a unique role, and that is good enough to keep this article. Berrenta (talk) 13:16, 17 December 2014 (EST)
Actually, Miles made a good point. I oppose it now. TepigSprite.pngTepig (talk) 13:26, 17 December 2014 (EST)

Delete K.K. Slider's role is no more than any other background character, he just happens to take the spotlight (in the background) under certain stage-specific conditions. It's not like how Kraid drives the rotation of Brinstar Depths - K.K. is subservient to the stage. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Awesome 13:37, 17 December 2014 (EST)

Kraid drives a major component of Brinstar Depths (spinning the platforms). K.K. drives a major component of Smashville (the music). They both warrant pages. Miles (talk) 13:43, 17 December 2014 (EST)
The stage picks the music (which is completely irrelevant to gameplay, unfortunately) and brings in the correct background characters to suit. K.K. is a participant, not a driver. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Different 13:48, 17 December 2014 (EST)
The music in a Smash match is a central element; I'd hardly call it irrelevant. Miles (talk) 13:49, 17 December 2014 (EST)
I'd love to agree that music is an integral part of the game, but the unfortunate reality is that it isn't relevant to gameplay in the slightest degree. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Yoshi 13:53, 17 December 2014 (EST)
How is it not? It's the game actually overriding a player controlled interface (My Music), so you can't argue that it's non-interactive if that's what you're getting at. Miles (talk) 14:00, 17 December 2014 (EST)
No matter what you do with the music (distort, change, repalce, remove, mute, etc), the actual gameplay (fighting your opponent) does not change in any way. Toomai Glittershine ??? The Victorious 14:53, 17 December 2014 (EST)
That's an extremely narrow definition of gameplay, though. And we maintain a great number of pages on elements of the games beyond those which affect the direct combat between characters. Miles (talk) 14:58, 17 December 2014 (EST)
