What pirate-styled name does King K. Rool use in Donkey Kong Country 2?

King K. Rool uses the pirate-styled name Kaptain K. Rool in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest.

The 1995 sequel changes the villain’s title to match its pirate setting. After kidnapping Donkey Kong, Kaptain K. Rool demands a banana-hoard ransom, sending Diddy Kong and the newly introduced Dixie Kong on a rescue mission through Crocodile Isle.

The name is part of a recurring identity pattern. In the original Donkey Kong Country, he is King K. Rool; in Donkey Kong Country 3, he disguises himself as the scientist Baron K. Roolenstein. Donkey Kong 64 later gives him the boxing persona King Krusha K. Rool.

A common mix-up is choosing Baron K. Roolenstein, which belongs to the third Country game, or King Krusha K. Rool, which is associated with Donkey Kong 64. Kaptain K. Rool is the title specifically tied to the pirate-themed second game.
