## Scrapped Concepts

**Katryna as K. Rool’s Daughter**-On the audition for the female characters before Carmen has gotten the cast, where it she was originally going to be K Rool’s teenage daughter. She was also named Kalypso.

**Death of Donkey Kong Jr.**-On the Bowser’s Koopalings episode “It’s A Not So Wonderful Life”, his gravestone was shown alongside Toadette Onix, Edna Bones, and Zachery Williams. But that idea was scrapped due to FreezeFlame22 felt like there are too many characters who has unrevealed biological fathers.
