King K. Rool appears as a trophy.

The demented head of the Kremlings and big boss in the Donkey Kong series. K. Rool is a giant, greedy glutton with a serious eye tic. While he fits the evil boss mold nicely, he's just enough of a bumbler to have gained a few fans over the years. His plan to blow up the DK Isles with his Blast-o-Matic shows how unbalanced he is.

Rool, made an appearance in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

King K. Rool (DK64)

In Super Smash Bros. 4

King K. Rool appears in two main roles.

As a trophy

The King K. Rool trophy appears in both versions.

Whereas Mario often squares off against Bowser, Donkey Kong must fight against King K. Rool. He's a big croc with a big attitude...and a tiny crown. He probably could have been Donkey Kong's most trustworthy animal friend. Think he'll ever have a change of heart? Not likely.
This guy is to Donkey Kong what Bowser is to Mario. This crowned Kremling has a serious attitude problem. If only he could have been on of DK's Animal Friends instead... Maybe with just a little change of heart, he still could be! On second thoughts...nope. Never gonna happen.

As a costume

King K. Rool is the basis for a paid downloadable content costume for Mii Brawlers. The costume mixes elements from his older and newer designs.

Origin

King K. Rool is the leader of the Kremlings and the main antagonist of most games in the Donkey Kong series. He makes his debut in Donkey Kong Country as the main antagonist, and since then has been the main antagonist in most games (including Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, and Donkey Kong 64). He does not appear in either game of the revived Donkey Kong series (Donkey Kong Country Returns and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze), and neither do his Kremlings. However, he is still featured in some spin-offs, including Super Smash Bros.
