In this appearance he is far larger than his previous incarnations and he has gained some new powers, such as summoning miniature Whomps and creating shockwaves. His dialogue in this game is the same as in the previous ones, however when he is defeated he slams his fist against the ground and yells "Dang It!". Also, if the player is defeated and returns to battle the king, the king has a different line, saying he's tired of this speech. Also, this is his first game to make a different appearance in his galaxy.
