Why He Doesn't Stand Out?[]

  • He fails the admirable standard to Donkey Kong, Diddy and Dixie Kong as he has done less good despite having higher resources than them.
  • He has done some villainous things like kidnapping Pauline from Mario. Although this was in the old days, he never show remorse for this or all the times he fought with Mario. Furthermore, he is still On & Off, because he gave K. Rool DK's Banana Hoard to challenge him and Diddy to retrieve them again in the Game Boy.
  • He is very envious and arrogant of Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as he was jealous of them defeating King K. Rool which is why he challenged them on beating King K. Rool and in the end credits he criticized Diddy and Kiddy Kong for their victory over KAOS and Baron K. Roolenstein. He also thinks he is the best of the best in his family and always want to prove that he is better than them.

Trivia[]
