* BraggingThemeTune: The ''Ultimate'' version of "Gang-Plank Galleon" includes a rap verse that mixes boastful lyrics with [[WordSaladLyrics utter gibberish]]. It doesn't help that the rap is [[IndecipherableLyrics deliberately hard to make out]] and switches from the [[IAmSong first person]] to [[SecondPersonNarration second person]] partway through.

->See Characters/DonkeyKongKremlingKrew for more information on the character in his origin series.

* SkillGateCharacter: He has great range and disjointed hitboxes, zoning tools that can clutter up a screen like nothing, and extremely powerful Smashes that can KO from afar at very low percentages when sweetspotted, but his sluggish and awkward aerial movement, terrible recovery, frame vulnerability on most of his whip attacks, and vulnerability to sustained close-range pressure are all major issues that more skilled players will readily exploit.

* SkillGateCharacter: K. Rool has a variety of strong attributes that makes him easy to use, including Super Armor, projectiles, a counter which also acts as a reflector, and many strong attacks that can kill at low percents. That being said, his weakness can be exploited by a large portion of the cast, provided they're not too aggressive.

* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: In the big panoramic artwork showing all the characters, Isabelle is placed right next to Cloud setting off a party popper. The same Nintendo Direct that revealed her also revealed that Cloud's debut game, ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVII'', would be brought to the UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch.

* MeanCharacterNiceActor: Incineroar plays the {{Heel}} in battle, but secretly loves the attention it gets from kids.

->''"[[ReligiousBruiser I vanquish the darkness!]]"''

** Purple Boy: A boy with a Skate Helmet, an Octo Tee, and Octoling Boots. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers This design is the odd one out]]; he's wearing clothes from the game, but this particular clothing combination can't be traced to any specific promotional art and hasn't officially been shown combined together.

'''Final Smash:''' [[MakeSomeNoise Killer Wail]]

* MakeSomeNoise: The Killer Wail, a giant megaphone that blasts out a soundwave of pure destruction (and ink), serves as the Inklings' Final Smash.

* WaveMotionGun: Their Final Smash, Killer Wail, is a weapon that fires a long, destructive soundwave which can be moved to hit other players.

* GutturalGrowler: His realistic crocodile roars have an ''incredibly'' low baritone, even moreso than his fellow heavyweights like Bowser.

* DropTheHammer: Her jab uses a toy squeaky hammer to bop her opponents.

* AdaptationalBadass: Unlike their games of origin, submerging the Inklings in water does not [[SuperDrowningSkills immediately kill them]], though, just like everyone else, they will still drown if they stay in the water long enough. They will also take damage for as long as they're submerged, so they aren't completely immune to water.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: Inklings don't actually have to be on Ink to refill their ammo. Unlike their home series, standing on Ink of a different color doesn't hurt or slow them, and it will fade over time.

* BottomlessMagazines: {{Averted}}: A gameplay element requires them to stock up on ink frequently.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: A big croc with a big cruel streak, including stealing the Kongs' banana hoard to starve them, [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing a tied-up Donkey Kong]] by shooting cannonballs at him [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange at point-blank range]], designing and building a robot that works by consuming the brainwaves of a captive[[note]]specifically Donkey and Diddy Kong[[/note]], [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog Badnik-style]], and developing an enormous laser cannon to obliterate DK Island out of revenge (which he succeeds in doing for his Final Smash), among other villainous misdeeds.

* KingKoopaCopy: He joins the list of plus-size villains like King Dedede, Ridley, and Ganondorf that appear in this game alongside the original King Koopa himself.

* KingKoopaCopy: Incineroar has prominent fangs, spiky hair, claws, a red and black color scheme, a facial structure similar to TropeCodifier [[Franchise/SuperMarioBros Bowser]], and a brutish personality. It also helps that, unlike most Pokémon that bear a passing resemblance to the Koopa King, its concept is entirely based on a villain archetype (that being the {{Heel}}).

* RatedMForManly: As a muscular, whip-wielding warrior who goes around killing monsters, he definitely is one.

* RatedMForManly: K. Rool practically embodies the evil side of masculinity; with him being extremely violent, cruel, frightening, savage, persistent, and most importantly, '''powerful'''.

* RatedMForManly: It's big and boisterous. And its ''Smash'' render gives it visible muscle detail.

* MemeticHandGesture: Incineroar makes a lot of "one" signs during its taunting.

* PaletteSwap: Rather than just swap colors for the Girl and Boy, each palette is an Inkling that was used for the first game's promotional materials. Other than the orange Girl and blue Boy, we have:

** Pink Girl: A tan girl wearing a Takoroka Mesh and Black Squideye shirt.
** Purple Girl: A girl wearing the full Amiibo School Gear.
** Green Boy: A dark skinned boy wearing a Skull Bandana with an Armor Jacket Replica and Octoling Boots, referencing [[https://mobile.twitter.com/MyNintendoNews/status/738569809630109696 this]] design.
** Aqua Boy: A boy wearing Black Arrowbands and a Baby Jelly shirt.
** Purple Boy: A boy with a Skate Helmet and an Octo Tee.

* BadassAdorable: Cute kids that can turn into cute squids, and vice-versa, but all of them can get very competitive, as their Turf Wars can attest to, and some of them (such as Agent 3, who's playable through alternate costumes) are also capable of taking out entire armies of Octarians in their home series. Now that they're in ''Smash'', they get to compete for this trope alongside the likes of Franchise/{{Kirby}}, [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu, Pichu, Jigglypuff]], and the [[VideoGame/EarthBound1994 MOTHER]] [[VideoGame/MOTHER3 duo]].

* FunnyOctopus: Squid variant. Inklings are a hybrid of squid and kid, and they're adorable as all get out.
* GlassCannon: Inkling can move relatively fast, has many punishing attacks, and can actively increase their damage output by coating the enemy in ink. However, their ink isn't limitless and can run out quickly, meaning that they can leave themselves much more open to attacks than most other characters. Their weight is also slightly below average.
* GracefulLoser: In a ''stark'' contrast to [[SoreLoser their behavior in their home games]], losing Inklings will applaud quite enthusiastically for the match's winner.

* ComedicSociopathy: In accordance with his established personality in the [[Manga/MetroidManga manga]], Ridley is still as brutal as ever, but now shows off his dark and sadistic sense of "humor" about his bloodlust, twirling Mario's dropped hat on his claw a la ''VideoGame/SuperMarioOdyssey'', with [[PsychoticSmirk a visible smirk]].
* TheComicallySerious: Don't let his ferocious look fool you - just like other menacing characters in the game, he has no problems reacting hilariously with stuff like Superspicy Curry. Or even [[https://www.smashbros.com/assets_v2/img/fighter/ridley/ss_4.jpg wielding a Hammer in some hilarious fashion.]]

* MixAndMatchCritters: Basically a tall XenomorphXerox blended with a dosage of PteroSoarer features, giving him the body plan of a Western dragon.

* PteroSoarer: Similar to how Bowser is a draconic monster that resembles a real-life reptile (a tortoise), Ridley resembles a pteranodon, albeit a demonic alien one with arms and teeth, making him more of a Western dragon (six limbs) than a pterosaur (four limbs). Makes sense, as pterosaurs are probably as close as one can get to winged dragons[[note]]technically, wyverns [[/note]] in RealLife.

[[caption-width-right:350:[[WhipItGood Evil's Whip-Wielding Bane]]]]

* WhipItGood: As always, Simon's weapon is the Vampire Killer whip.

* MadScientist: He uses the propeller backpack he utilized as part of his Baron K. Roolenstein persona from ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' and the Blast-o-Matic he helped design in ''Donkey Kong 64''.

* ReptilesAreAbhorrent: A big croc with a big cruel streak, including stealing the Kongs' banana hoard to starve them, [[ColdBloodedTorture torturing a tied-up Donkey Kong]] by shooting cannonballs at him [[NoRangeLikePointBlankRange at point-blank range]], designing and building a robot that works by consuming the brainwaves of a captive[[note]]specifically Donkey and Diddy Kong[[/note]], [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Badnik-style]], and developing an enormous laser cannon to obliterate DK Island out of revenge (which he succeeds in doing for his Final Smash), among other villainous misdeeds.

** The purple color resembles [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]], which may be intentional given that this specific palette is used for Big the Cat's Spirit Battle.

** One of its palette swaps is essentially a beefed-up version of [[VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog Big the Cat]]. Of course, there's a Spirit Battle which features Big the Cat's Spirit possessing a giant Incineroar of that color.
