This character appears in some of the DKC2 promo art, but isn't actually in the game:

What's his story?

He needs to have one.

It's great to finally have this mystery solved! Thanks!

1. This character appears in some of the DKC2 promo art, but isn't actually in the game: http://donkeykong.wikia.com/wiki/Mr._X What's his story?

2. A lot of the games from Rare's golden age had cheat codes. Will Yooka-Laylee?

3. I heard that Yooka-Laylee is going to have a co-op story mode. Does that mean that one player will be Yooka, and the other will be Laylee, or will each player get their own Yooka & Laylee combo?

4. How hard will Yooka-Laylee be? Will it be easy to cater to casual gamers? Will it have different difficulty settings?

5. I know that Yooka-Laylee is still very early in development and will be much more fleshed out than the demo we've seen and that developers of your caliber would probably won't let this slide, but I have this nagging fear that I would really appreciate if you could get rid of. I noticed almost all the ground is completely flat with no depressions or inclines whatsoever (this doesn't include constructed things like the ruins because it would make sense for those to have flat tops or those blocky rocks on top of the grass), causing the level to fall into the uncanny valley for me, and that the grass doesn't have any blades (excepting the few around trees and signs) and is just a flat texture. Please tell me the game isn't actually going to look like this. I mean, I know it probably won't be like this when the game is finished, but I would really appreciate it if I could hear you guys say it and not have to wait 17 months to see.

6. Do you think you'll ever make a horror or other mature game, or will you stick to happy, family friendly games?

7. You said you're using this game to set up your own Playtonic universe. Do you think you'll ever make games that are apart from Yooka-Laylee and have nothing to do with it, or will they all be set it the Yooka-Laylee-verse?

8. If, hypothetically, Microsoft were to decide to get out of the games business and sell off all their gaming IPs for a low price, would you buy all the Rare ones? If they decided to sell Rare for an extremely low price that you could very easily afford, would you buy it?

9. Would you ever take on a licensed game? If Nintendo wanted you to do a Donkey Kong game, would you?

10. How big do you want to eventually expand your company? You're going to have to if you want to get all your game ideas made in a reasonable time. How big will you go? Do you have any specific people in mind? If so, who? Will you try to steal people from Rare?

11. How fast will swimming be? I hate most underwater levels because your character almost always swims very slowly. Will swimming underwater in Yooka-Laylee be slow?

12. Wait a minute... http://www.playtonicgames.com/files/2015/05/plto_kickstarter_keyart_glacier_final_02.jpg Yooka is a reptile, making him cold-blooded, so how can he survive in an ice world? 0/10! Would not buy! Worst game of 2016!
