'''KP Pete''', better known by his pseudonym of '''King K''', is a [[KP Koopa]] who fights in the Minor League of the [[Glitz Pit]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He leads the fighting group called the "[[KP Koopas]]", a.k.a. the "Shell Machines of Doom", and as such must be battled during [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door#Chapter 3: Of Glitz and Glory|Chapter 3]].

==History==
King K introduces himself and the rest of the Minor League fighters to Mario after the latter's fight against the [[Goomba Bros.]]. Throughout Mario's stay in the Minor League, King K gives Mario advice and informs him of any recent occurrences, such as the [[Hot Dog Stand]] getting a new menu item or the "cutie at the [[Fresh Juice Bar|watering hole]]". King K disappears from the locker room after Mario's fight with the [[Bob-omb Squad]], having previously told Mario that he was thinking about retiring.

However, King K had actually had his energy drained by [[Grubba]]'s [[power-draining machine]], and Mario later finds him in an unresponsive state behind a block in the second floor of the Glitz Pit's storage room. The KP Koopas are replaced by the [[Wings of Night]] during the time King K is absent. KP Pete recovers after [[Macho Grubba]]'s defeat, and can be fought again should the player choose to return to the Glitz Pit.

;Glitz Pit, minor-league locker room
*"''That's King K, a fighter. His shell's yellow, but I think he's just a basic Koopa. He seems like a genuinely good guy, Mario. Plus, I dig the way he talks!''"
;Glitz Pit, storage room
When Mario finds an unresponsive King K in Glitz Pit's storage room, [[Goombella]] can obtain an alternate tattle for King K:
*"''Awww, poor King K! What happened here?!?''"

==Trivia==
*The ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' website (now defunct) depicted what would appear to be King K (who simply states that his name is "K.P.") as a trash-talking red-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]]. It is possible that this was KP Pete's personality [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|in a pre-release build of the game]], or else may simply an error on the website's part. 
*KP Pete is not shown among those at Glitzville while Mario is fighting the [[Shadow Queen]]. However, his voice can be heard when the scene cuts back to the battle. [[Shellshock]] is present, though, and talks like King K, so it is likely that it was intended to be him, but the sprites were mixed up.
