DKC Atlas Forum

Trying to find more info about Mr.X I bumped into these really cool abandoned characters from DKL. I think there is more, I see a pig's leg in one of the renders. Any other info about this would be awesome.

Ram Bunkshush was probably going to be like Rambi, but could climb. Pucka was definitely an enemy, and that Kong with a hat was probably an early idea for Swanky. The pig leg is probably a Hogwash. And I have a feeling Mr.X would be the final boss of DKC2 until they decided K.Rool should be. The DKL Trilogy is so great calling them Game Boy games are an insult.

Yeah, none of those are new, but it's still great to see them. It's been speculated that the Kong(dubbed City Kong by a bunch of us at the DKU) was going to host some kind of Casino mini-game or something like that, and that he was probably an early form of what eventually became Swanky.

And that is definately a Hogwash.


One question, what is Mr. X?

Mr.X is a Kremling that was mentioned in the german players guide.
I almost forgot about him, thanks to our community I got a chance seeing him again

See my first post for thoughts about Mr.X. Man, to think that DKL was going to be more diverse than DKC!

Mr X is awesome! I almost want him to be in more than K Rool now.

Where were these actually found? What kind of magazine featured these? Someone should scout ebay or something, maybe we could find where these came from.

They were found in Nintendo Power. I'm not sure about the ones posted at the start of this topic though.

Wait was Ram Bunkshus eventually made into the Ram from DKJB?

No, and that's a Yak. Nintendo barely knows the characters that actually exist, why would they base it off of a cancelled character from a Game Boy game from 14 years ago?

Ahem, wow, so I know I'm bumping this topic like a b...*bleep*...ch, but I'd like to point out that Hoofer from Donkey Kong Jungle Beat is actually a wildebeest, and not a yak or a ram. I just had to say that.

Also, I like how it even mentions that they didn't know what they were going to do with Ram Bunkshus, so I doubt he had that huge of a role. I assume Pucka would've been much larger than the other water enemies, possibly taking up a large portion of the screen.

I thought I read that in the Japanese version of JB he was a yak, but in the "western" versions he's called a wildebeest. That could be wrong, but that's what I remember reading. Also, he's got a different name, like Mooshin or something weird and Japanese.

I don't know if this would be considered a "bump" but I think this stuff is at least mildly interesting.
Thanks to The Mario Bros.net, I found a page in a magazine with another render of the Fedora Kong. This time he's facing forward. From what I've read it doesn't mention him at all.

Also, on another page of the same magazine Hogwash and Fangfish (is that even his real name?) have different names. Fangfish is named Pucka Jr. and Hogwash is affectionately reffered to as Rasher.

Is Pucka Jr. in the real game? No one even noticed him being unused if he isin't.

Well since we know Pucka Sr. wasn't in the game for sure, they probably changed his name to avoid any confusion. I'm pretty sure he's in the game...

I belive he actually is. His name is actually called fangfish.

It looks to me like Pucka was used in the game and Pucka Jr was not. The fish in the in-game graphics has stripes and two nub things on its belly, which looks more like Pucka than Pucka Jr.

Actually, thanks to kingizor and his manual scans...

Fangfish is in the game.
Unless they LIED to us
