Editing Crocodile Isle

'''Crocodile Isle''' (also known as the '''Kremling island'''<ref>{{cite|author=Swanky Kong|quote=On the Kremling island map, how many small wasps hover around the wasp hives?|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Swanky Kong|quote=What is the name of the Kremling island that you are on?|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''}}</ref> and '''Krem Island'''<ref>{{cite|date=September 1995|title=''Nintendo Power'' vol. 76|page=23|quote='''<u>CAPTURED</u>:''' Dixie and Diddy won't go it alone when they reach Krem Island on their search for Donkey Kong.|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref>) is a large mountainous island and the main setting of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It is also the originating location of the [[Kremling]]s, the [[Kremling Krew]]'s capital base of operations, and the neighboring island to [[Donkey Kong Island]]. After being destroyed, it was replaced by an artificial island built by [[Snide]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''.<ref>{{cite|author=Bihldorff, Nate, Jason Leung, and Drew Williams|title=''Donkey Kong 64'' Player's Guide|page=7|date=1999|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|quote=<u>'''SNIDE</u>:''' Once he was K.

Crocodile Isle directly contrasts with Donkey Kong Island, which features a thriving ecosystem and plentiful wildlife. Crocodile Isle has a dark and murky environment with lots of pollution and barrenness, as evidenced by the dead trees, mining, [[toxic waste]], and garbage. This was caused by [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]]'s pollution and waste of natural resources.<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide|page=46|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1995|quote='''<u>JUNGLE JINX</u>:''' It looks like K. Rool hasn’t heard about preserving the rain forests. Here he’s dumping bunches of giant tires in Diddy and Dixie’s path!}}</ref> However, Crocodile Isle is seemingly in close proximity to Donkey Kong Island to the southeast, as said island is visible from two locations on the isle. A hidden location also appears somewhere in Crocodile Isle, and it does not appear on the main world map, the Lost World. A large volcano-shaped altar, [[Krocodile Kore]], appears in the center of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]], and it serves as the island's core.

It has iron patches, a bronze head, red eyes, a golden crown, a wooden bridge, gray floors, pipes, five doors and red propellers. Crocodile Isle has an engine allowing it to move through the sea by using the ships' two screws. [[K. Lumsy's Prison]] is connected to Crocodile Isle through a cable. The base of Crocodile Isle is mainly operated and serviced by [[Kritter]]s, although in some cutscenes, they are shown to have little knowledge about the machinery and rely mostly on force to keep its base operational. A large laser cannon named the [[Blast-o-Matic]] is installed in the center of the ship, and the machine is also maintained by Kritters. King K. Rool resides in a chamber resembling a throne room. The final level, [[Hideout Helm]], takes place inside Crocodile Isle, and the Kongs can explore areas such as the ship control room and the throne room.

During the game's opening, King K. Rool orders his servants to move Crocodile Isle to the [[DK Isles]], where he attempts to use the Blast-o-Matic to destroy Kong Isle to take revenge on [[Donkey Kong]] and his friends. Though later, an argument starts between the two Kritters in charge of the steering wheel, as they cannot decide whether to move the ship to the right or to the left. The purple [[Klaptrap]] who controls the steering wheel gets distracted by the argument, and the ship crashes against a rock, breaking the Blast-o-Matic. After this, the [[Kremling]]s fix the Blast-o-Matic while Donkey Kong is distracted by King K. Rool's guards. During the game, a few levels are accessed from different parts of Crocodile Isle, including K. Lumsy's Prison. The last level, Hideout Helm, is located at the top of the Kremling base. The [[Kong]]s come here to shut down the Blast-o-Matic and battle K. Rool, though the latter flees in his [[Kremling craft|aircraft]] before being defeated. In the [[Game Over]] sequence, King K. Rool aims the Blast-o-Matic out from Crocodile Isle directly at Kong Isle.
