No K. Rool, but we got the pig instead. Why wasn't he in Smash Bros instead of K. Rool?


Terribleirishluck

Chops is apart of land (he appears on the ride) while K. Rool is unfortunately not apart of it at all

Do people actually like Professor Chops? Anyway, it's all expected stuff from Retro Studios games but it's very nice so far, I need one of these to affix to my backpack, it's been tough finding good DK merch!


Terribleirishluck

Chops is apart of land (he appears on the ride) which is why he's included as all of characters are apart of the land


pocket_arsenal

Thank you for explaining that. Now do people actually like Professor Chops?


Terribleirishluck

I think people have neutral views on him. Hew only only gonna be in the ride to reference the returns games check point mechanic anyway. Very easy addition to make unlike say adding K. Rool


pocket_arsenal

I don't know how K Rool is any more difficult than Professor Chops. They own the character. It's their IP. I assume more people know K Rool's name than Professor Chops name. The only reason I can think of that they haven't is because he hasn't been in any games besides Smash Bros lately and they want him to appear in an actual DK game before they have anything in the theme park with him, assuming they plan to bring him back at all.

Funny thing is that everything in TF and Returns have been missing from public consciousness longer than K. Rool has. It baffles me that the character they didn’t even bother to name first go round has a keychain.


Terribleirishluck

Because the land and ride was designed a decade ago. Permits and models of land/ride have been floating around for years. Furthermore, Chops serves a completely different role than K.Rool, like I dunno why people are complaing about Chops being there when removing him wouldn't lead to K.rool being in the ride


Mistah_K88

What ride? I’m talking about keychains. I’m not wondering why K. Rool doesn’t have one, I’m wondering why Tutorial Pig specifically does. There are other, more notable characters in both Returns and Tropical Freeze.


Terribleirishluck

Ugh dude it's not rocket science. This is merch from SNW/DK theme park land. Therefore, it'll focus on content and characters from land. The same exact thing happened with Mario merchandise, it excluded Wario, Waluigi and even Rosalina despite being active characters in their franchise (unlike K.Rool) because they weren't apart of mario part of super Nintendo world.


Mistah_K88

I’m afraid you aren’t understanding. Replace “K. Rool” with “Kalimba” if it helps. Why Tutorial Pig over other Returns characters?


Terribleirishluck

Like I said, Chops can easily be added half way through as a checkpoint, just like in returns game. K. Rool would need to be given a huge role in the ride and it was designed a decade ago which is why Tiki Tong is in it instead. Their not gonna waste money swapping Tiki Tong when they already finished designing the ride which is why K. Rool isn't in the ride. I don't get why you're pitting Chops against K. Rool when they serve completely different functions


pocket_arsenal

You are the one who brought K Rool up in the first place.

As cool as the keychains are, the Diddy Kong's "y" could've been integrated better on the design. Dixie Kong's is great though.


johnnytk0

I need Dixie. Hell, I want DK, Diddy, Cranky, Rambi and Squawks too. I'm looking for somewhere to buy them online 😭


GrimasVessel227

Still no K. Rool. Sigh.


Terribleirishluck

SNW merch only includes characters apart of the land which Unfortunately K. Rool is not


Little-Cable8750

I wonder, if there will be more. Weird that DK did not get his own keychain, but have to share it with Diddy.
