Top Ten Reasons Why King K.Rool Should Be In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

King K. Rool Is the main antagonist of the Donkey Kong Country series, he is the final boss of all the main DKC games from Rare. He is known for being very theatrical - changing his getup every time you encounter him, though his most iconic appearance is with his crown and comically small cape. Although King K. Rool has never made an appearance in a videogame since 2008 he still has a large following. He is a very requested character for Super Smash Brothers Ultimate, a fighting game featuring many of Nintendo's gaming all-stars. This list will count down 10 reasons why the king deserves a spot in the roster.
The Top Ten
1 Moveset Potential

I've watched countless videos online detailing K. Rool's massive moveset potential. Since his boss battles are different in every DKC game he is in, there are quite a lot of options for attacks.

He could throw his crown and jump around the stage just like in the first game. Or he could borrow from the second game and use a large blaster as well as a sword. A good recovery option would be his backpack copter (or whatever it's called) from the third game. Not to mention everything from DK64 and King of Swing.

There are many options open for the Smash Team to make King K. Rool stand out from the crowd with his moveset.

2 More Donkey Kong Representatives are Needed

So far, we only have two fighters representing Donkey Kong: the big ape himself and his nephew, Diddy. K. Rool would make for a great representative for the franchise as he is a main character in the Rare games (especially in DK64). Also, he would make for a great rival to Donkey Kong. He could be the Bowser to Mario, the Ganon to Link, the Dedede to Kirby.

I agree. They need to add the main villain for DK because we already have Bowser, Ganondorf, and King Dedede.

3 He Got a Lot of Votes on the Smash Ballot

It has been confirmed that when the newcomers were picked for Ultimate, the Smash Ballot was considered. King K. Rool is known to have gotten a lot of love from fans and has gained their vote for the ballot - including mine.

It is very possible K. Rool will be recognized for his massive amount of votes and eventually added in.

4 More Villains are Needed

With the recent addition of Ridley, it has come to my mind that there are not enough villains in the roster. My theory is that it's because of the lack of connection to the villains. K. Rool didn't appear until the end of the first three DKC games, so if one hadn't finished the game, they wouldn't know who he is.

But still, he did appear throughout DK64 in cutscenes, and I am fairly certain he made frequent appearances before you actually fight him in the lesser-known DK games. But having K. Rool in would increase the villain count, which I would greatly appreciate.

5 More Heavyweight Characters are Needed

This is basically the same as what I said in the villain item. There are not enough heavyweight characters, and I obviously don't want too many of them, but K. Rool would be a great addition to the villainous heavyweights we already have included.

6 Alternate Costume Potential

This is a very obvious point to make. As I mentioned earlier, King K. Rool is very theatrical and adopts a new costume every time you fight him.

In DKC, you fight him in his regular old king costume, with the classic crown and a small cape.

In DKC2, he returns as Kaptain K. Rool, dressed as a very traditional pirate.

In DKC3, he returns as a mad scientist under the alias Baron K. Roolenstein.

Finally, in DK64, he is just in some good old boxing attire and ready to fight the DK Crew.

If all four of these costumes were implemented - and maybe each of them got one palette swap - that would be absolutely glorious. It would make him a totally unique character.

7 He Has Always Been Highly Requested

This is similar to the Smash Ballot one, but nevertheless, he has been extremely popular ever since the days of Brawl. Despite the fact he hasn't been used in a while, he is almost constantly requested. Smash 5 might be when our wish is granted.

8 He Got a Mii Fighter Outfit & Trophy In SSB4

This may hint that K. Rool is going to be a fighter. Sakurai has noticed the fans' outcry for him, and we may be seeing the king in Smash 5. These two things just clarify that K. Rool is not forgotten.

9 He Is a Unique Character

Again, he has many costumes he can use as skins. His variety in boss fights makes him unique. He is just absolutely insane but pure evil at the same time. I really hope his unique personality is implemented into his moveset.

10 He Is an Obvious Choice

Last but not least, he is a very obvious choice. All the big Nintendo players are already in the game, so King K. Rool and potential fighters like him are next up in line. K. Rool is an iconic old-school Nintendo character, and I would be surprised if he wasn't implemented in the game.
