Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze study

[Rinkitink]

I hope this isn't a stupid question, super newbie to ripping console game models, only done very little with PC games like the Fallout games, but reading this thread it sounds like there's still no way to rip/read the textures for Tropical Freeze? I saw some of the models posted to the site so I figured it had to be at the point where getting textures and models out was possible, or did you get the textures from other games like Brawl?

I'm just trying to figure out if there's enough tools out there now to dig in to the game and get the Super Mario Bros. 3 tank model so I can play with it in Blender and SFM.
