For years, K. Rool's Kremling Kutthroats have been pining for their favorite fat crocodile pirate to make a playable Smash appearance, most recently through the @BringBackKRool campaign on Twitter.

Now, Nintendo and Sakurai have finally opened themselves up to fan requests via an online poll. It's finally time for our King to reign supreme. So, what are you waiting for?? Head to the poll today (cp.nintendo.co.jp/us/) and vote K. Rool!

Vote early and often, #KrocTheVote and tell all your friends! This...is our finest hour!
