'''Gloomy Gulch''', also titled '''Haunted Forest''',<ref>{{cite|date=January 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #34 | '''Gloomy Gulch''', also titled '''Haunted Forest''',<ref>{{cite|date=January 1996|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #34|page={{media link|NMS AUS issue 34 page 20 excerpt.jpg|20}}}}</ref> is the fifth world in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It is a haunted area set in a dilapidated {{wp|ghost town}} set between dark, spooky woods, with ghostly inhabitants such as [[Kloak]]s. The world takes place between [[Krazy Kremland]] and [[K. Rool's Keep]], but in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the standalone [[Klubba's Kiosk]] appears to the left of it on the [[Crocodile Isle]] map. In the official German guide for the game, it is implied that the forest is feared even by the [[Kremling]] pirates.<ref>{{cite|url=archive.org/details/donkey-kong-country-2-der-offizielle-nintendo-spieleberater-1/page/n83/mode/2up|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Spielerberater|page=84|language=de|publisher=Nintendo}}</ref> A majority of Gloomy Gulch takes place in spooky woods, but there is also a haunted house with [[Kackle]]s, nestled in a clearing near the start, and a nearby [[Zinger]] hive. | ||
