KK & DJ KK - Mystery Solved?
So I decided to explore the question to see if I could get an answer, once and for all... Are K.K. Slider and DJ KK one and the same dog with two different performing personas? Or are they, indeed, two seperate (possibly related) performers?
So I waited until K.K. Slider had stopped by The Roost, and tried to invite DJ KK along via Amiibo. He was... unreachable. Out of curiosity, I tried K.K. Slider, and got an identical message.
Next step, I swung by the hotel. Both declined the invitation, saying they had a gig.
Okay... So far, it's not looking so good for them to be seperate people. But there was one more thing to try. Off to my archipelago I flew!
DJ KK already had a home there... So what would happen if I offered to make one for KK Slider?
Well, I will tell you, shall I? He accepted! So that settles it. They can both coexist on your Happy Home Paradise archipelago, thus they must be too seperate characters. The fact that DJ KK was unavailable to invite to my home island while K.K. Slider was there had to purely be a coincidence.
That being said... Since I didn't have any undeveloped plots on my archipelago, I built Slider's home on the same plot as DJ's, and made it a near duplicate except one is at day and the other at night time... So if it makes your brain more comfortable to pretend they are one and the same, I grant you the continued illusion. 😅
