+'''King K''', also known as '''KP Pete''', is a [[KP Koopa]] who fights in the Minor League of the [[Glitz Pit]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He is the leader of a team called "The [[KP Koopas]]", also referred to as "The Shell Machines of Doom".

+==''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''==
+King K introduces himself and the rest of the Minor League fighters to Mario after the latter's fight against the [[Goomba Bros.]] Throughout Mario's stay in the Minor League, King K gives Mario advice and informs him of any recent occurrences, such as the [[Hot Dog Stand]] getting a [[List of implied items#Southern Fried Egg Dog of Tastiness|new menu item]] or the "[[Jolene|STUNNIN' babe]] havin' a juice
+at the [[Fresh Juice Shop]]". King K disappears from the locker room after Mario's fight with the [[Bob-omb Squad (group)|Bob-omb Squad]], having previously told Mario that he was thinking about retiring.
-'''KP Pete''', better known by his pseudonym of '''King K''', is a [[KP Koopa]] who fights at the [[Glitz Pit]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. He leads the fighting group called the "[[KP Koopas]]", a.k.a. the "Shell Machines of Doom". He has a crush on [[Jolene]], whom he calls "the cutie at the watering hole".
+However, King K had actually had his energy drained by [[Grubba]]'s [[power-draining machine]], and Mario later finds him in an unresponsive state behind a block in the second floor of the Glitz Pit's storage room. The KP Koopas are replaced by the [[Wings of Night]] during the time King K is absent. King K recovers after [[Macho Grubba]]'s defeat, and can be fought again should the player choose to return to the Glitz Pit.
-He befriends [[Mario]] when Mario first enters the Glitz Pit, and teaches him the ways of the place. Mario easily defeats him in battle as he is the second opponent Mario faces; later, when Mario is forced to redo the Glitz Pit, he beats King K's team again. As Mario rises to the top of the rankings, King K says that he was going to retire after one last battle for safety reasons to Mario. After the last battle, he runs into [[Grubba]] during his power-up cycle. Grubba absorbs his power and throws him under a [[block]]. When Mario finds him, King K can hardly talk, but he manages to warn Mario about Grubba before falling silent. While he's gone, his team is replaced by the [[Wings of Night]]. He recovers after Macho Grubba's defeat and bids Mario and his party farewell.
+Later, King K sends Mario an [[Mailbox SP#King K: 'Sup, dog?|e-mail]], in which he states that he is keeping himself busy in the Glitz Pit.

 ==Trivia==
-*The ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'' website (now defunct) depicted what would appear to be King K (who simply states that his name is "K.P.") as a trash-talking red-shelled [[Koopa Troopa]]. It is possible that this was KP Pete's personality [[List of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door pre-release and unused content|in a pre-release build of the game]], or it is simply an error on the website's part.
+*King K is not shown among those at Glitzville while Mario is fighting the [[Shadow Queen]]. However, his voice can be heard when the scene cuts back to the battle. [[Shellshock]] is present, though, and talks like King K, so it is likely that it was intended to be him, but the sprites were mixed up.
