K. Rool plays offensive tricks and traps to pressure opponents into making mistakes. The wrong move of the opponent leaves them open for K. Rool to punish his foe. K.

Trophy Info
King K. Rool
Leader of Kremlings and enemy to the Kongs, King K. Rool is a crocodile bent on defeating Donkey Kong and stealing his bananas. He is a "K. Rool" and merciless villain who is cold-blooded, both figuratively and literally. He brings all the tricks he can to Smash. Now that he is in Smash, this will be his finest hour. I think the other Smashers could say that he's one them.
King K. Rool (Alt)
King K. Rool's Blunderbuss is a tricky weapon. It can fire a spiked ball as a trap or use air by tiliting after the special button press, propeling in the direction tilted. The air shooting makes for a surprise recovery or striking get away if needed. Krown Toss tosses K. Rool's crown in a straight line but not dragging foes when it hits. Hover Kopter does lift King K. Rool up, but it's horizontal coverage is great. The copter also provides minor protection from threats above. The Invisible Charge makes K. Rool invisible, but it doesn't protect him and his shadow tips him off. It hits hard to compensate for its predictability.
False Kredits
King K. Rool ends the game? No, he brings up a false kredits that are thrown at the opponent that appear like the real credits except the names are all Kritter themed. King K. Rool can't keep playing dead, he can spring up and keep attacking so the fake credits can do its job. The credits can be tough to dodge, but King K Rool can make it worse.
