Poor DK, whether through being dim or simply suffering as a victim of other Nintendo mascots, he can't catch a break. Well, that's a slight exaggeration, but he's the victim in the latest screens published by Masahiro Sakurai on the Super Smash Bros. Miiverse Director's Room. Though we normally reserve these for a weekly round-up, the return of the Dragoon is too cool to ignore.

Sakurai-san has posted two images to show the snazzy updated targeting reticule for this item, and then a neat screen of Kirby riding it in for glory. For those uninitiated, this is activated by grabbing three separate parts during a battle, at which point a single-shot direct hit will result in an instant KO for the target.

The images and Sakurai-san's descriptions are below.
