Krunch & Pipsy from Diddy Kong Racing. I like the fan idea that they're a couple, or at least buddies.

Wanna see the last time I drew Krunch?

I was 8 years old. My grandma had this hanging on her wall for over 20 years.

🍔Well, I don't normally do this because I never know what to answer but

Do you have any questions for me❓

Whether it's Hooo (Lita and Kraken), something about my handling of Dixie Kong, Krunch, Donkey Kong or something else.

¿Tienes alguna pregunta para mí ❓

Ya sea Hooo (Lita y Kraken), algo sobre mi manejo de Dixie Kong, Krunch, Donkey Kong o algo más.

So this is probably really stupid to find interesting, but I watched a video about the evolution of King K. Rool over the years, and it's pretty clear to see that his golden belly armour being just that, armour, and not a part of his body is a pretty recent thing, which was seemingly introduced in Smash Ultimate. In his debut appearance in DKC, it does seem to be made of gold:

That's pretty clearly the same material on his crown, cuffs and belly, right? And as his cuffs and crown are clearly just accessories and not part of his body, it would be natural to assume that so is his belly armour. I'm actually not sure if this is the case, however, since I've never read the manual the game clearly expects you to have read, can't find a video of someone hitting him from the front to see what kind of sound effect it makes, and haven't gotten to the final boss of DKC myself yet (I'm stuck on Chimp Caverns, lol). So as far as this installment goes, with my limited knowledge, I could go either way (K. Rool experts, feel free to weigh in).

From this point forth, his belly armour remains golden for some time, and I don't believe an answer to whether it's part of him or not is given in any of the several games he appears in up until Smash Melee.

Then, suddenly, in DK King of Swing on the GBA, his belly armour is made of skin.

This change then remains consistent from this point up until Smash Ultimate, and K. Rool actually does appear in a surprising amount of games up until then, featuring in Barrel Blast, Super Mario Sluggers, and even in Brawl as a trophy.

Finally, after Brawl, his next appearance is in Smash Ultimate, in which we finally get a solid answer: it's a metal chestplate. Apparently. Despite the long string of games before in which it was clearly flesh. In Ultimate, this is even of mechanical importance, as it can be worn down and eventually broken by attacks, which stuns K. Rool and leaves him vulnerable. He can also use it to parry attacks, so it has multiple associated mechanics. This cracked texture would be kind of gross if it was made of tough skin instead of metal, so maybe that's why they made the change.

I also discovered that whether or not he has a tail, and how long it is, is wildly inconsistent. In Melee he has a short tail, in Brawl he does not, in Ultimate he has a nubby one yet again, and in DK64 he has a properly long crocodile tail longer than his legs. Weird.

idk why I thought this was interesting I just did.

I've been on that Rare bullbull again and thinking about all my favorite roberts, and my robert loving kremling. And then I also realized in her downtime she is just always in beach mode, for better or worse, no matter the climate (unless it's cold)

Tentative final design for my Kremling! Not sure about the pants and the hair colour but oh well.

Wanted to lean into CMYK colours, punk aesthetic, and not believing in bras, I guess.

Her name's Splatter now... not very Krem-ish but I dunno what else would work. He's a graffiti artist that got fired from K. Rool's army for preferring to draw his own stuff (and flirting with the General...)

She's friendly to Kongs but struggles making friends. Also uses any pronouns.
