*Sub-universes applied, King K. Rool is one of the four {{uv|Mario}} fighters not to have amiibos based on them in the ''Super Mario'' amiibo lineup, the others being [[Piranha Plant]], [[Bowser Jr.]] and [[Dr. Mario]]. | *Sub-universes applied, King K.

*While most characters in the Japanese version omit their royal honorifics and titles (such as King or Princess) from their names, K. Rool is an exception, as he keeps the title of King in his name.

* | *King K. Rool's trophy description in ''SSB4'' states that he could have been a friend to Donkey Kong if he underwent a change of heart, but deems the event not likely. Perhaps coincidentally, {{SSBU|Joker}}'s gameplay reveal trailer shows him stealing K. Rool's crown; in ''Persona 5'', Joker changes the hearts of people by stealing their respective treasures. Following this, King K. Rool appears in {{SSBU|Banjo & Kazooie}}'s reveal trailer and, as an apparent callback to Joker's thievery of his crown, appears to have reformed: the beginning shows him sleeping peacefully in [[mariowiki:DK's Tree House|Donkey Kong's treehouse]] alongside a lazing DK and Diddy Kong, and he, DK and Diddy celebrate alongside each other when Banjo & Kazooie are fully revealed.<ref>[https://nintendosoup.com/sakurai-might-have-been-crafting-a-redemption-story-for-king-k-rool-with-super-smash-bros-ultimate/ Sakurai Might Have Been Crafting A Redemption Story For King K.
