==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 his 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. | |||
*King K 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. | |||
