Same reason Wario runs like a crab and his default outfit isn’t his overalls.

Why isn't his girlfriend in Smash?

She should be a Diddy Echo who has Donkey Kong's Up Special but her hair spins instead of her arms

smash is not about representing the sum total of a characters personality and history, if it was bowser wouldn't act like a retarded kaiju all the time and DK wouldn't make generic gorilla beast noises

she has enough moves to be a bona fide character imo, but an echo would be fine too. also dk's up special should be a launch barrel

Sakurai will claim that he doesn't approach Smash as a fan, yet it's clear he's a fan of Fire Emblem, SNK in general and Persona 5. If he's not a fan of a series, you better hope the timing is right to get enough content. K. Rool was a fluke, and all his fans, me included were correct for being loud and obnoxious. Basically, Sakurai's not a fan of DK and K. Rool was an obligation for the ballot. I bet Dixie was just as high on the ballot but couldn't get an echo in both Four and Ultimate yet Chrom did.

I honestly wonder how many fighters were included in Smash out of genuine passion and appreciation for their home series and how many were added out of corporate necessity

Ganondorf doesn't have his melee sword flourish in Ultimate.

Why don't Diddy and Donkey fistbump?

It looks too close to a real life nigger. BLM would be all over Nintendo for this.

They high five.

Why the fuck does Diddy not drive a car for potheads then crash it? It's pissed me off since Grandma's Boy has been out

I'd argue this started happening around Smash Four. Look at the character pages and scroll to the bottom, a chunk of the characters cross-promotes a recent title. If Brawl had more time, we could have gotten more characters. Anyone who didn't get in by Brawl unless they were pushed for the ballot or if Sakurai felt he could do something with them, is a lost cause.

I just want another DKC game where we fight all the animals.

I like DKC Returns but whoever thought replacing the Kremlngs with tikis was retarded. I know it had to do with them being tied up with Rare but Rare has nothing to do with DK anymore so they should have been back.

Is it true Miyamoto hates DKC?

Nintendo owns the Kremlings wholesale. They've been in all the terrible spinoffs since Rare left Nintendo.

Retro was suggested to only bring back DK, Diddy and Cranky, and like they did with Metroid Prime they went and tried to create their own villains to have a unique stamp on the series. The Tikis unfortunately didn't work out at all but the Snowmads are really good and a massive step up, so it's fine.

King of Swing and Jungle Climber aren't bad for the platforms they're on. The issue is that DK was only getting those spin-offs and not a core game like Returns for a whole generation and a half. No, Jungle Beat isn't the way to do it either, playing with the bongos alienated would-be players and the game flopped as a result. And removing the bongos, the game itself was shallow and short on the Wii.

Why the FUCK is this not K Rool's victory theme in Smash?

Jungle Beat is amazing and one of my favorite DK games but making it the flagship Gamecube game was a bizarre decision.

It's a 10/10 spinoff, not a core entry.

Probably not
He was certainly envious, however

Why would it be? No villian in Smash uses the game over theme as their victory theme.

No, it was a mainline game.

3 would be everyone's favorite if they used DK Jr instead of Kiddy

not that guy but i like the idea that the hero's theme of failure would be the villain's victory

3 would be everyone's favorite if it wasn't loaded with fag shit and they had a different story.

I know they advertised it as that and it was developed as such.

I'm just saying it's just as stupid as pretending that Air Ride was the Gamecubes core Kirby title. It's a racing game, Jungle Beat is an score attack rhythm game framed like a platformer, neither work as the big new entry people are looking for from the core franchise. It's a massive sidestep from DK64 or Country.

>it's another "those picks can't be mandated because sakurai likes them"

well then who the fuck is picking all the fucking FE niggers then. its sure as hell not the fans and even now FE has sold like shit in comparision to other series so i can't see why the honrabu boardroom shoguns would give two drops of piss to keep shoving the little fucks into smash

Why is Mario so pissed off?
Why doesn't DK make the noises he does in DK games?
Why is Samus so clunky and robotic despite being the opposite in her games?
Why is Luigi some shy and creepy loner?
Why does Peach wear a completely different dress in Smash?
Why does Bowser make animalistic noises despite having a voice?
Why does Sheik not play her harp?
Why is Dr. Mario so weird?
Why does Ganondorf use a sword he's never used in any Zelda game, and why is he a Captain Falcon clone?
Why does Roy have a completely different design/personality than he does in Binding Blade?
Why is Meta Knight Hispanic?
Why does Zero Suit Samus exist as her own character?
Why is Wario le epic fart man instead of his personification from the WarioLand games?
Why are Snake's taunts all the same?
Why doesn't Diddy Kong have his voice and why doesn't he have OP's pic related as a victory animation?
Why does Sonic have three spin specials?
Why is Olimar/Alph mute?
Why is Mega Man emotionless? Why is Mega Man 2's Dr. Wily Fortress 1 his main theme?
Why is Little Mac Japanese, and where is his Star Punch?
Why does Pac-Man have no Pac-Man World moves?
Why doesn't Duck Hunt make the classic noise with his side taunt?
Why must Cloud be Japanese?
Why does King K Rool make animalistic grunts?
Why does Joker not reference barely anything related to the greater SMT/Persona franchise?
Why does Banjo not have more eggs in his kit?

Exactly, which is why people were put off by it, especially the DKVine and for good reason. It's not a substantial game, it's something you play on the side. Air Ride is a racing title, not a platformer like the other Kirby titles, that's a poor comparison. Jungle Beat IS a platformer and it failed to follow up Rare's DKC/DKL trilogies. Even DK64 kept the DKC spirit in some parts. Jungle Beat was pushed as DK's triumphant return and it fell flat on its ass, twice even.

Returns not only did what Jungle Beat failed to do, it even beat a mainline Zelda title like the original DKC did with ALttP.

the fuck are you on? Three Houses outsold most FE titles. It is something the higher ups would want to push, especially because it's recent and current in the people's zeitgeist.

same,I hate the generic lights of ultimate but I don't get why they couldn't add that as his victory pose

it legitimately screams SOUL and since we got KK.Roll it doesn't make sense for them to ignore the country series

I don't know if you noticed but nintendo doesn't care about diddy; diddy isn't even in mario kart 8.
