+ | King K. Rool made a minor appearance in one of the minigames of ''[[Donkey Konga]]'', in which he was jumped by a bongo-wielding Donkey Kong as Rool tried to hide in a series of interconnected holes. | ||
King K. Rool once again tried terrorizing the Kong family in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''. Riding a small hovering vehicle, he stole all of the medals from the island's Jungle Jam competition so that he would be named Jungle Hero instead of Donkey Kong. He accidentally dropped the medals at various locations across the island and retreated to his K. Kruizer III. Donkey Kong encountered K. Rool at the end of the fourth world. K. Rool first raced again Donkey Kong, and then they battled. After K. Rool was beaten, Donkey Kong received the last of the stolen DK coins. He was also an unlockable playable character in the game. | King K. Rool once again tried terrorizing the Kong family in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]''.

Donkey Kong and his companions eventually caught up with him on that alien world. K. Rool had already sent all his minions against Donkey Kong, so he attacked Donkey Kong in a battle very reminiscent to their battle in ''King of Swing''. When K. Rool was defeated, he used his last remaining Crystal Banana to transform into a gigantic version of himself. In this form, he could breathe fire and used his large hands to seize Donkey Kong in attempts to crush him. However, he was still defeated and following the Kong's victory feast, he was towed back to their original world. | Donkey Kong and his companions eventually caught up with him on that alien world.

He is found in the DK Jungle area of the game's Challenge Mode, sleeping behind a waterfall until his Kritter minions are defeated and activate switches which stop the waterfall and reveal K. Rool. This also awakens him and causes him to angrily engage Mario's team in a baseball game. After being defeated, he would be amused by their style and join the baseball team with his Kritters, but he is quick to assure them that this alliance does not go beyond baseball games. |
