Donkey Kong Bananza Talk: Kremlings & King K. Rool

Its about damn TIME, its been 11 years since a new entry in the DK Series and im THRILLED to see its taking the 'Mario Odyssey' route of Open world platformer experimenting with a new concept (I.E: Destructible environments).

Its unfortunate that Kremlings and by proxy, King K.Rool, are still absent as usual (Now more than ever would suit them well as a proper antagonist). Not to say I don't like the current cast of characters we can only assume are the bad guys (More Monkey=Good),But it always feels bittersweet every time the Kongs are fighting some more nondescript villains when there is a whole group of bad guys with built up context and lore right there! (Obviously the main reason is most likely them being tied up in Legal papers, Rare is with Microsoft, so its increasingly unlikely we'd see anything of K.Rool outside of his appearance in another Smash Bros game).

At the end of the day, More Donky Kong is what I like, regardless of weather or not Kremlings are involved...

However...

I noticed something interesting in the trailer for the recently announced Donkey Kong Bananza.

There is a consistent prevalence of these Crocodile lookin guys in the trailer. All of them are pretty blink-and-you'll-miss-it but its there. Call it Cope or something but it leaves the door open for Kremlings, or at least some 'Nintendo Owned Kremling-Like creatures'.

Ekzibit A.1

The first one we see is this stone statue guy, clearly some Croc vibes going on with the carvings.

Ekzibit A.2

The same stone guy, after the outer layer is shattered, revealing a gold skeleton with again, more croc features. Specifically the skull. It keeps its Club weapon even after the stone is shattered.

Ekzibit B

Another Stone Croc, made of a different matterial (Some sort of iridescent stone). this time in water and wielding a different (red) Club weapon.

Ekzibit C.1

More Crocs, this one lacking its Club, red in coloring, and covered in Spikes. DK uses the smaller enemy to break its outer shell rather than a basic attack.

Ekzibit C.2

Another Golden skeleton with Croc features, It also shows that the outer shell is made up of wood based on the shape of shrapnel resembling that of Woodchips in texture.

Ekzibit D

A Very large Totem Pole esque statue of multiple different Crocodile stacked on top of the another. Each layer a different material (Bottom:Clay or soft stone, Middle: An iridescent Stone, and Top: A Matte metal).

It wields an equally as large club/mace and has several of the golden skeletal limbs sticking out to facilitate movement.

Ekzibit E

A large group of Stone Crocodiles lined up behind what is assumed to be the Bad Guys of the game. The flying enemy in the back doesn't seem to match the 'Crocodile style' of earthenware.

Konclusion

Theres something to do with Crocodile like creatures in this game, weather or not they're proper Kremlings is 100% Speculation considering we only have two and a half minutes of footage to work with, and they wouldn't show off everything in one go.

My Crackpot theory is that these are some Dead Kremlings that have been 'resurrekted' from the dead by vengeful spirit 'Nekromancer Von Rool' Uncovered and dug up by the mining operations of Ingot Isle, they seek revenge for the disturbance of their resting place.

My Source for this theory? Any sort of backing evidence?.. None, I made it the fuck up. it would be SO FUCKING COOL!

Thank you for listening to my Ted Talk
