Yesterday, after a few weeks of playing Crossing the Animals: New Horizons, K.K. Slider finally appeared on my island. But the rotating canine guitar has obviously changed so much in the past two decades, so much so that he won't want to go until I have taken some serious steps to bring my island to his specific standards. What does this mtt think you are?
K.K. Slider has become a mascot for Animal Crossing series since its first arrival on Nintendo 64 as Dōbutsu no Mori (or Wildlife Forest) In 2001. In that game and its 2002Cube adaptation, he was touring the player's city on Saturday night, placing it in front of the train station to play for whoever was listening.
I found these concerts very close to my beloved. I would make it a point to get in touch with K.K. every weekend to listen to him perform and take home aircheck. My favorite, "Two Days Ago," was a secret track he would play only on request. The song became an ear worm until it began to circulate around my non-playing music. For something else.
The singer's star just popped up there. Both of the following Animal Crossing games, Animal World and City Folk, K.K. Slider first settled in The Roost, a restaurant drawn by the beloved dove Brewster. This place was a far cry from playing songs in the rain, but it was cold. I almost tasted the rotten beans and heard the burning of base boards like K.K. strummed one of his timeless heroes.
New Leaf saw a major departure from K.K. Compact. He has welcomed a new persona, DJ KK, a wax retreat from Club LOL every night. I'm not so addicted that I would say that this is where he lost, but this time his acoustic music has taken an obvious backseat to many poppy, genres of his famous songs. That said, if you've managed to catch K.K. after his set on Saturday, he will still find time to sit in a traditional concert.
K.K. Slider's presence inside New Horizons it is very different. You can buy his tracks from the beginning, which shows how wide his music is Animal Crossing
And let’s not forget the hoops K.K. The slider makes you jump if you want him to look your own New Horizons island. A little further into the game, Tom Nook will come up with the best idea to "upgrade" the island to persuade K.K. to visit. The game is fun for letting you threaten the island as you see fit, but Nook is holding the project above your head by testing your efforts with a five-star rating system. K.K. will only visit if your island receives a three-star rating, which is only available by reading an anonymous review by Isabelle.
Why K.K. Slider is suddenly curious about how many flowers and trees my island has? Why is it important to contaminate the natural environment with hammocks, benches and landmarks? Previous performance of K.K. there was no prediction of what my city looked like or the things I could offer. He was just a traveling player, a band roaming the countryside to share his art with whom he would give time of day. These events had a heart and a soul. They started to bother me as I continued to repay my mortgage Animal Crossing series.
That is not what K.K. Slide is an empty enemy of his original character in the middle New Horizons… Away from it. He is still an excellent performer with a variety of discography. But when the islands I was with closed their eyes and turned to the translation of New Horizons theme song, I couldn't get one, pure phrase out of my head:
“K.K. Slide sold. ”
