Is mostly because of K. Rool’s matchups being more “varied” power wise
It goes from Risky boots which is at maximum super human while he’s 10 times faster and stronger off his own feats alone
To King dedede which is at minimum planet level with K. Rool needing chain scaling to match
He has a weird mix of a “consistently strong enemy” “varied arsenal” “too few appearances” and “specific thematics” that make it so he either stomps or needs chain scaling for a chance
I do think he might need a couple of more appearances to grasp his strengths but so far I think he wins most because most of his matchups since bananza gave him a gigantic buff in all apartments
he punched Void into the drill and made it collapse on a single punch, he catches up to the Bananium root to the surface of the planet in minutes, fights with a post-returns DK that can punch down a small moon and DK needs a buffed form to damage K. Rool, and a amazing Hax in the King of rot reality warping abilities
Although that might just be because his matchups are designed more for a pre-bananza K. Rool
The moon thing is not a serious scale. The scene pretty obviosuly conveys that not much force is needed to drop the moon, especially since if you play as Diddy he just falls into it and it drops. Nothing else dk does is anywhere near that scale.
In tropical freeze many of his feats like rising frozen boats from the sea, pulling giant vines out of the floor and changing entire surroundings (while not as big as the moon) does show he can do something similar
also one punch from him can throw K. Rool into the sky creating a massive shockwave that completely cleans it. And before you say anything he can do that without bananza forms since the cutscene just needs DK to make K. Rool’s HP to drop to 0 which all forms can do, including base
So I think this feat isn’t as much of a outlier as it seems
None of those feats are strange and are consistent with Jungle Beat and Bananza.
The moon in those scenes is clearly not normal, and in a gag sense. So even if you took it serious it wouldn't be a good feat anyway since it doesn't act anything like a real moon.

K Rool goes in the bottom half because he's practically unanimously glazed
