This is not King K. Rool as a baby. This is King K. Rool scaled down as a bit of end-of-episode-silliness. I don't know why the article treats him as one, as he clearly keeps his proportions and personality. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 02:28, May 9, 2026 (UTC)
- The article treats him as a baby because he says "Mommy?". I don't think it can be said that he keeps his personality in this form, he's only on screen for like two seconds, says "Mommy?" (which is not something he would normally say), and then the episode ends. Kong (talk) 02:37, May 9, 2026 (UTC)
- See, I just see that as a typical "scared" quote, but either way, do we need an article for a "form" that, as you said, is only on-screen for two seconds and doesn't factor into the plot at all? This makes me think of how we don't have articles for the actual "baby" characters in "Toddler Terrors of Time Travel" (with Mario, Luigi, and Koopa's being considered distinct from the later-codified Baby Mario Luigi, and Bowser, and Toad and Kooky's not getting articles... though now a Baby Toad has appeared alongside M&L in TSMGM, but I digress). The point is, this is rather superfluous when compared to Baby Kong (who is named and appears as a separate character in a later episode) and even Cranky's younger form (who has a distinct appearance that is not classic DK, has a hologram-based internal conversation with his older self, and appears more in the episode).
