DK is technically a sprite rendered from a 3D model on the fly. At least that's what I remember reading a while ago after game release, never bothered to check this out though. Not sure what so negative about that.

Link?

It was in Dolphin emu thread on NeoGAF:

But again it's undecided for me. Some blame framebuffer hack that deluded people to believe characters look like sprites (and they surely are when played not on actual hardware), but there was some discussion going on so you might just to check it out for yourself if interested and tell the world. I never cared in the first place.
