*While King K. Rool has a voice actor in his own series, with his current voice actor being {{s|mariowiki|Toshihide Tsuchiya}}, ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' does not give King K. Rool a voice actor. Instead, ''Ultimate'' gives him realistic crocodile bellows and grunts, similar to his appearances in some ''Donkey Kong'' games, such as ''{{s|mariowiki|DK: King of Swing}}''. The same thing happens to [[Donkey Kong]], who is given realistic gorilla grunts instead of reusing {{s|mariowiki|Takashi Nagasako}}'s voice clips from other games; [[Diddy Kong]], who uses realistic chimpanzee screeches instead of reusing voice clips from his current voice actor {{s|mariowiki|Katsumi Suzuki}}; [[Bowser]], who uses realistic roars instead of reusing voice clips from his current voice actor {{s|mariowiki|Kenny James}}; and [[Petey Piranha]], who uses monstrous roars instead of reusing voice clips from his current voice actor {{s|mariowiki|Toru Minegishi}}. | *While King K.

*King K. Rool is the only ''Donkey Kong'' fighter to have made a non-playable appearance in the series prior to his debut as a fighter, as he appeared as a trophy in ''Melee'', a trophy and sticker in ''Brawl'', and a trophy and a downloadable Mii costume in both versions of ''SSB4''. | |||
*Although King K. Rool's name is the same between Japanese and English, the announcer pronounces it differently between regions: the English version pronounces it as "King ''Kay'' Rool", while the Japanese version pronounces it "King Cruel", which is the basis of the pun on which his name is built. | *Although King K.
