maybe in the next smash he will have his regular voice

Neckies are based incredibly faithfully on their DKC design (right down to the shoulder feathers that stick up, which I never in my life noticed until this game) except with somewhat bigger heads that put them somewhere in a middle ground between Necky and Mini-Necky proportions.

🐊 Kritters have particularly narrow pupils compared to a lot of Kremlings, highlighting their primal reptilian-ness (this was often, but not always, seen in other iterations)
🐊 In Crockoid form, a living Kritter has glowing "bloodshot" eyes compared to the pure golden ones of a skeletal Crockoid

Let's start with Kritters, who are using what we often call the Paon design or the post-buyout design, debuting in King of Swing and seen in many games since. You don't need me to tell you they look better than ever, though. Note the new Kremling Krew emblem on their belt buckle.

Notice the cracks in the left eye on the emblem to reference his bloodshut eye
