King K. Rool is the original main antagonist in the Donkey King Country franchise. He is the malevolent leader of a crocodile-like species known as the Kremlings. In his debut appearance, he would have his minions steal the Kongs' entire banana hoard.

Why He Rocks

 * 1) He was the original big bad in the Donkey Kong Country series before being replaced by Tiki Goons and Arctic Pirates in later installments.
 * 2) His right bloodshot eye really fits with his arrogant, psychotic, and sometimes feral personality.
 * 3) He made his Super Mario debut in Mario Super Sluggers and helps Mario defeat Bowser in the game, which is a first for any villain.
 * 4) After a lost opportunity being a newcomer in past Smash games, he's officially a playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
 * 5) His utilized move set in Ultimate is really faithful to his boss battles, for instance, his Neutral B being based on Kaptain K. Rool, his Side B being based on that of Donkey Kong Country, and his up special being based on Baron K. Roolsenstein.
 * 6) Throughout the series, he has countless personalities throughout the franchise that makes him unpredictable and his personality is often interpreted in a different way.
 * 7) * His Kaptain K. Rool persona is just hilarious, counteracting with his more royal attitude. The same with his Baron K. Roolsenstein and King Krusha K. Rool personas.
 * 8) * Just like AoStH's take on Dr. Robotnik, his comical incarnation in the Donkey Kong Country TV series made him even more hilarious and entertaining as a persistent but extremely comedic and goofy main antagonist than ever before. Despite having tons of incompetent, hammy, and humorous moments, this characterization gives him plenty of personality with being generally ineffectual but nevertheless a cunning, underhanded, malicious, sarcastic, and tyrannical villain who seeks to have the Crystal Coconut while General Klump and Krusha often screw things up.
 * 9) His name is a clever pun on the word "cruel," which kind of describes his actions and his personality.
 * 10) The boss fights against him in the DKC series are fun, most notably his first fight in the original Donkey Kong Country.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) In the games he does not speak at times, so he does not have that much of a clear personality compared to his other appearances.
 * 2) His blood-shot right eye can come across as disgusting to look at for some people.
