Kevin Bayless. Ben's K. Krool sounds too British. While Bayless gives a more ominous tone.

Also, I didn't notice this before, but Bayliss looks like a posh B^Uckley.

Ben Campbell gets my vote, although I'm mildly disappointed that there's no option for his voice actor in the SNES games.

Ben Campbell, if only because I completely forgot that he had a different voice actor.

TIME TO TIP THE SCALES!

Yeah, Ben just sells this guy. Kevin has a nice menacing sound to it, but it just makes him sound boring and uninspired. Ben gives K Rool a sense of Royal poshness and self-adoration that doesn't make him too doofy or undermine the inherent silliness of the world he lives in.

In fact, I think the DK show actually nailed all of the Kremling's voices. The only Kong who doesn't risk ear assault is Cranky. Everyone else just sounds like 90's diarrhea. Guess the bad guys didn't lose everything.

Beg you pardon, the only Kong that sounds remotely "off" has to be DK himself.
Then again, the way he's portrayed in the show is really different from what I'd expect judging by the games.

On topic; Dunno who either people is but as far as K.Rool is concerned, the one in the cartoon's doing a fine® job.

I was really iffy on DK's voice when we started DKC; it just didn't fit the big ape we all know today. But then it really grew on me. Definitely doesn't fit the appearance, but it's fine in its own way.

Anyway, Benny Boy gets my vote. Bayless is cool and all, but nothing tops the Menacing British® voice.

Yeah, most of my beef is how much tood was given to DK. Diddy's brain scrambling screeching is right for the character, awful in execution. Also, Dixie and Candy seem pretty different from their video game counterparts, so they're on the same level of OC as Bluster to me, so I can't really judge them except on the basis that they're annoying.

That said, Bluster has a fine voice, but he really should have been Swanky Kong.

But damn, how's about that Funky Kong?

Okay, way different than the surfer attitude that he's given in the games, but it's fitting with the.. direction that they're taking him with?

I think that they fit in nicely with Funky's character altogether; just tone down the drug references and we're on the same page.
