Jungle Beat bosses

Should the 4 Kong bosses from Jungle Beat be listed here? Are they in any way related to DK?

Article bloat?

Does anyone else feel this list is a bit too bloated? Why were the Diddy Kong and King K. Rool articles merged into here? It seems like it would be better for this article if they were split into their own articles once again. NintenBOUND (talk) 14:50, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This list is bloated, but that's mostly due to the fact that whoever carried out the page merge basically merged all the content instead of condensing the information. Additionally, there's a lot of content unrelated to the two page merges that should be trimmed or removed. For reasons as to why the two articles were merged, see the several discussions on this subject, which can be found at the top of this talk page.

For the time being, I've tagged this article with some quality concerns. I am not too well-versed in DK, so I'll leave this in the hands of someone more experienced, but this article is very much in a state where some kind of disclaimer feels warranted. Has one ever considered Magneton? Pokelego999 (talk) 16:49, 31 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
