{{quote2|[[Diddy Kong|Diddy's]] first action takes place aboard [[King K. Rool|K. Rool's]] scuttled flagship, Gangplank Galleon. Even though this hulk isn't seaworthy, it's still manned by a scurvy [[Kremling]] crew. You'll find lots of hooks and rigging to climb on here. You can also duck into the [[Lockjaw's Locker|flooded cargo hold]] for more fun!|''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' instruction booklet, page 20}} 

'''Gangplank Galleon''' is the name of the first world of both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and its pseudo-sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It takes place on the large [[Gangplank Galleon|pirate ship of the same name]], which belongs to the [[Kremling]]s and their leader, [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]]. Gangplank Galleon is docked right next to [[Crocodile Isle]]. 

Every level takes place some place on the pirate ship. The galleon has many chasms inside, which are dangerous for the Kongs. The masts form a good clamber system, and inside the ship is a flooded caliginous cargo. The masts, hold and deck host many enemies, the most common being [[Neek]]s, [[Klomp]]s, and [[Kruncha]]s. There are a few aquatic enemies in the flooded cargo hold, including [[Lockjaw]]s, [[Shuri]], and [[Puftup]]s. A large [[Mini-Necky]] boss, [[Krow]], is located at the peak of the area, in his own crow's nest.
{{br|left}}
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Gangplank Galleon appears on the right side of Crocodile Isle, rather than the left (the positions of the isle and Gangplank Galleon are reversed in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''). Gangplank Galleon is also docked on the right side of Crocodile Isle in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version.

==Levels==
The level names are exactly the same between ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', but the layouts are different between every one. Most levels in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' serve as simplified versions of the associated ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' level.

|The starting level of the game, Pirate Panic is a simple, straightforward level that takes place on a ship deck. There are simple enemies, a couple of opportunities to gain extra lives, and a message from [[King K. Rool|Kaptain K. Rool]] in one of the ship's rooms.

Unlike Pirate Panic, the first level of the game, Gangplank Galley features more large barrel platforms for the Kongs to walk on, and hooks that assist them with crossing wide gaps.

[[Zinger]]s make their first main appearance in the level, and frequently patrol around the ropes that the Kongs must climb to reach the top, just like in Mainbrace Mayhem.

==Trivia==
*The manual for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version labels the first world as [[Gangplank Galley]] despite mentioning [[Gangplank Galleon]] in its description.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, page 20.</ref> This was not corrected in the [[Game Boy Advance|GBA]] version, which uses a slightly rewritten description that does not refer to it by the proper name.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' instruction booklet, page 26.</ref>
*Due to the German translation of the level Lockjaw's Locker, the Gangplank Galleon has been believed to be a reference to The Flying Dutchman, a ship whose captain was cursed to roam the seas forever on that ship. The ship in fact comes extremely close to matching the ghost ship.
