Well, according to the trophy of King K. Rool in Brawl, Kaptain K. Rool and King K. Rool are two seperate characters-Kaptain K. Rool is King K. Rool's brother. Should we create a seperate page for Kaptain K.

:I'm pretty sure the manual of DKC2 stated "He's Back" when talking about Kaptain K. Rool. Now, since this would be his first appearance in the series if he was a brother, I'm pretty sure Rare was showing that it was the same person. This trophy error may come from the fact that, in Japan, they were stated to be brothers, while here they were stated to be the same person. {{User:Lanky kong/sig}}

Just recently, I was playing Super Smash Bros. Brawl and began to read the trophy descriptions. When I read King K. Rool's description, I noticed that it said, ''"'''His brother, Kaptain K. Rool''', made an appearance in the game Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest."'' Since Kaptain K. Rool is actually his brother, I propose we split them because they are two different characters with completely different roles.

== King Krusha K. Rool battle? ==
Ok so as we know, the oldest unimplemented proposal on the wiki is creating boss level articles on DK bosses. One that I havent seen an article for is the battle against K. Rool in the boxing match ring. There's no specific name for the area in the game, so i guess that is why it's not been split yet. There is an [http://www.dkwiki.com/King_Krusha_K._Rool associated article] on DK Wiki that has more info than what mario wiki has. this is why i ask how we should go about splitting k rool's page. King Krusha K. Rool is the name of his boxing alias, but as we know, we should keep the aliases integrated with K. Rool's main page. If all else fails, should we conjecturally name the article "Boxing Ring (Donkey Kong 64)"? I have the dk64 guide so i'll try and see what names it gives in the guide...

::::Yeah but how about: King Kruiser II covers the vehicle, the Boxing Ring covers the boss battle, and K Rool's DK64 section summarizes his in-game role? [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 14:11, August 10, 2019 (EDT)
:::::The DK64 [[Nintendo Power]] guide generically refers to it as "boxing arena", while Prima doesn't give a specific title. The [http://web.archive.org/web/20000304171035/http://www.nintendo.com/n64/donkeykong64/dkisles.html Nintendo.com Banana guide] doesn't even give a name. Personally I'd settle this by summarizing the battle on [[King K. Rool]]'s page and the [[King Kruiser II]] articles alike, though done differently based on the subject, and then create boxing arena as the stage title.

:Ok, so I decided to remove the talk header because i think a valid kong-clusion is that we should refer to its generic name--{{fake link|boxing arena}}--and make a page from there covering all aspects of the boss battle.

== Split Kaptain K. Rool, Baron K. Roolenstein and King Krusha K. Rool ==
 
{{Settled TPP}}
{{proposal outcome|canceled}}
Across the wiki, characters have their forms or alter-egos split from the main character (e.g. [[Leo Luster]] from [[Bluster Kong]], [[Dr. Mario]] from [[Mario]], and basically every form Mario takes from a powerup). However, it seems that this isn't the case for K. Rool and his three "forms". Now, it may just seem like they are just their specific games version of the character and nothing less. But both K. Rool and his Krusha K. Rool form both appear in ''Donkey Kong 64''. And Kaptain and Krusha both make cameo appearances in K. Rool's attacks in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''. I'd definitely say these versions of K. Rool have enough going on for them to be worthy of an article.

<s>{{User|Nightwicked Bowser}} I don't agree with the power-up comparison but I do agree with the proposal's intent</s>
 
===Oppose===
#{{User|PrincessPeachFan}} Why are we splitting costumes?
#{{User|Hewer}} Per points brought up in the comments. Also, I wouldn't say K. Rool's aliases actually appear in his Smash moves; he references them by putting on a pirate hat, [[propellerpack]], or boxing glove, but he's still just King K. Rool. If anything I could see it being a point against splitting them since it shows that they aren't that distinct from normal K. Rool (unlike Dr. Mario who's an entirely separate character in the Smash games).
#{{User|Super Mario RPG}} I think it's fine as is.
#{{User|Technetium}} Per Waluigi Time in the comments.
#{{User|MarioComix}} Even if we do split out Kaptain K. Rool and Baron K. Roolenstein, to be in line with something like [[Giant Bowser]] or [[Meowser]], etc., how much of that page would be redundant with what remains on King K. Rool's page? Either both K. Rool's ''DKC2'' section and Kaptain K. Rool would be about the same, or we would be removing K. Rool's ''DKC2'' info and putting it into Kaptain K. Rool, which at that point is just extra hassle for no real benefit. For example, someone wanting to read about K. Rool's ''DKC2'' info from K. Rool's own page would have to navigate to a separate page just to do so. Even considering the "gameplay abilities" of Kaptain / Baron forms, Kaptain K. Rool's abilities are essentially just K. Rool's abilities in ''DKC2'', and Baron's for ''DKC3'', so I think it works best to keep it on the same page.
#{{User|Windy}} Per Hewer.
#{{User|ThePowerPlayer}} Splitting would cause too much redundancy for what amounts to King K. Rool playing dress-up. He doesn't have any distinct personality changes like Rookie or Mr. L, and he doesn't acquire any power-ups like Meowser; he is literally just putting a costume on. This would be akin to splitting all of [[King Koopa's alter egos]] from each other.
#{{User|Killer Moth}} Per all.
#{{User|Dainn}} Per all.
 
===Comments===
The power-ups are split because Mario is not the ''only'' one who can take these forms: several of them are also used by Luigi, Peach, the Toads, Daisy, Rosalina, etc. Sure, there are some power-ups that only Mario can use due to the fact that they appear in games where Mario is the only playable character (and the same goes for Yoshi and Wario with their transformations). But the point is, these are being treated as transformations with their own unique abilities, benefits and weaknesses ''first'', NOT as the character ''assuming'' those transformations. So I wouldn't put these on the same caliber as K. Rool's alter egos, which are more in line with King Koopa's many, ''many'' alter egos in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]''<br>If we ''did'' treat these power-ups as separate character alter egos the same way as Leo Luster and Dr. Mario, we would have various articles on ''everyone else'' assuming those power-up forms (Cat Peach, Fire Rosalina, Kitsune Luigi, Drill Daisy, Metal Wario, etc.), and that might feel redundant. And at that point, we may actually need to do the same with Dr. Mario, because of all the Dr. alter egos from all the characters in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' (which includes things like Dr. Dolphin and Dr. Goomba Tower), adding to the redundancy. Really, the one exception I can think of from the top of my head is [[Meowser]], not only because of the more unique name, but mostly because this one is treated as a ''boss character'' instead of a mere transformation that everyone can assume. And that could ''maybe'' be a condition to split the K. Rool alter egos? {{User:Arend/sig}} 07:22, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
 
I see where this proposal is coming from, but it reminds me of certain WarioWare characters who change jobs, outfits, and names between games, like [[Joe|Gelato Joe / Pizza Joe / Manager Joe / Editor Joe / Joe]] and [[Ken|Ken the Reporter / Anchorman Ken / Ken the VJ / Reporter Ken / Ken]], and I don't support splitting those. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 09:01, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
 
@Support: These are literally costumes for King K. Rool and nothing else. Shall we split the Fire/Tanooki etc... ones as well? [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 09:03, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
:To be fair, one of the proposal's arguments is that "the [[Fire Mario|Fire]]/[[Tanooki Mario|Tanooki]] etc... ones" are split already. {{User:Hewer/sig}} 09:10, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
::Besides, there's a good reason why "the Fire/Tanooki etc... ones" are split (as well as why they aren't split further beyond Fire Mario/Tanooki Mario), as I've explained at the top of the comments section. {{User:Arend/sig}} 16:50, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
 
Issue: In ''Donkey Kong Land 3'', he has the appearance of Baron K. Roolenstein, but is consistently just called "K. Rool" even in the cast roll. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 09:55, October 30, 2024 (EDT)


I'm not sure about this one. Compared to Leo Luster, or even Mr. L or Rookie, there's not really any tangible difference that I'm aware of that would make these worth splitting. There's no personality changes or relevance to the story (for the first two, K. Rool even stays in costume for the entire game). They're just K. Rool playing dress-up basically, which puts them more in line with Bowser's alter-egos from the ''Super Show''. Dr. Mario is a poor comparison due to the sheer volume of appearances and playable status, and the power-ups don't work as an argument at all. Those aren't character alter-egos/costumes, they're specific transformations with gameplay functions. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 11:34, October 30, 2024 (EDT)
what is the story of king k rool's eye is he allergic to something what happened to his left eye it is a mystery that maybe no one will ever know.
: Go ahead and oppose. The comments for opposing is that there's no reason to split. [[User:PrincessPeachFan|PrincessPeachFan]] ([[User talk:PrincessPeachFan|talk]]) 06:52, October 31, 2024 (EDT)
