Nintendo denied Universal’s requests to use K. Rool in the Donkey Kong Country area of Super Nintendo World, according to this game designer who’s done theme park collaboration with Universal Creative.

This is greatly upsetting…….

This is like the Paper Mario restrictions that were in place for years. People can claim it was just a "suggestion" from up top, but who doesn't do what their bosses suggest to them? It's how we ended up with endless toads replacing everything.

I'm glad, based on the remakes of Super Mario RPG/PMTTYD, both of which involved very unique species and character models, and with the new M&L game creating new species/character models, that these dumb restrictions seem to be over. Hopefully whatever DK game comes out next can have more creative freedom as well.
