− | * | + | *A K. Rool costume was available as DLC for [[Mii|Mii Brawlers]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]'', and K. Rool himself later was added as a playable fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He appeared as King K. Rool, but some of his moves used accessories from his disguises such as Kaptain K. Rool's blunderbuss, Baron K. Roolenstein's propeller and Krusha K. Rool's boxing gloves. |
− | ** | + | **King K. Rool has also appeared in trophy form in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for the Nintendo 3DS/Wii U]]''. His trophy description in ''Brawl'' makes the strange error of calling Kaptain K. Rool the brother of King K. Rool. K. Rool's boss theme from ''Donkey Kong Country'' is also part of the soundtrack for several of the games. |
