If they had gone with Hyper Knuckles, Strong Kong would have also been a factor, as well as each of their time limit. Both have items to fuel their time limit, Knuckles are the Rings and DK has Crystal Coconuts.

Hyper Knuckles takes up about 6 rings in the same time it does for Strong Kong to use 1 Crystal Coconut. DK can hold a minimum of 20, Max is 40 (if you collect all the Banana Fairies), meaning Knuckles has to have a total of 120 rings just equal the amount of Crystal Coconuts DK has, 240 for Max, and if were being realistic here, Knuckles isn't going to be holding that many rings, especially since he loses all of them with a single touch, while DK will hold onto his fuel even if he's hurt.

But this is bringing Game Logic, in reality, Hyper Knuckles and Strong Kong wouldn't be able to hurt one another, so it be pointless and a waste of time and energy just to use.
