King K. Rool is the leader of the {{s|mariowiki|Kremling Krew}}, and King of the {{s|mariowiki|Kremling}}s. He is the main antagonist of most games in the ''Donkey Kong'' series and the archenemy of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, making his debut in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country}}'' as the final boss. In that game, he steals Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong's banana hoard for unknown reasons, but two official reasons given are either that he likes bananas, or he's stealing them in order to starve Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong and occupy their treehouse<ref>http://web.archive.org/web/20020805184158/rareware.com/the_site/talk_to_us/scribes/aug25_99/aug25_99.html</ref>. He made his return again in ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest}}'' as pirate captain "Kaptain K. Rool", where he kidnaps Donkey Kong and demands the Kongs' banana hoard for ransom, but Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong instead go to his home island, Crocodile Isle, to rescue him. ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!}}'' has him assume the alias of mad scientist "Baron K. Roolenstein", as well as kidnap both Donkey and Diddy to power his robot KAOS, in a bid to control the Northern Kremisphere; Dixie and Kiddy stop these plans and free Donkey and Diddy. In ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong 64}}'', he reappears in a new mechanical version of his old island, plotting to destroy DK Island with his [[Blast-O-Matic]], but it gets damaged on arrival. He thus has Diddy, Lanky, Tiny, and Chunky captured, as well as Donkey and Diddy's banana hoard stolen again, to buy time to repair the weapon. Once the Kongs disable it, K. Rool flees, but crashes his airship on DK Island, where the final battle, an extended boxing match where he goes by "King Krusha K. Rool" (with a typical champion boxer getup), takes place. He also appears in the ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Land}}'' series, in similar roles to their SNES counterparts. However, he did not appear in either game of the revived ''Donkey Kong'' series (''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country Returns}}'' and ''{{s|mariowiki|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze}}''), and neither do his Kremlings. | King K.
