King K. Rool, "Ape Foo Young"

A baby form of King K. Rool appears in the Donkey Kong Country television series episode "Ape Foo Young." At the end of the episode, K. Rool gets depressed about how he is an "old, dried-up lizard," so he drinks Cranky Kong's youth serum because he wants to become younger and regain his "fighting spirit," however, upon drinking the serum, he became a baby. Unlike Cranky Kong and Donkey Kong who have much different appearances in their younger forms, baby King K. Rool looks identical to his adult counterpart, just smaller with a high pitched voice. Despite appearing inside his crown, he still has a small crown on his head.
