It is an island filled with large factories and pipelines, located in the [[Northern Kremisphere]]. [[Bazooka]] is the [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]] of Mekanos, visiting his [[Bazooka's Barracks|barracks]] to give him the [[Bowling ball (Donkey Kong Country 3)|bowling ball]] is required to reach the [[secret cave]], "Sky High Secret", held up by a large claw. The name "Mekanos" is a combination of "mecha" and "{{wp|Mykonos}}", an island in Greece.


According to [[Bramble (character)|Bramble]], Mekanos was once a beautiful island filled with plant life, but after the [[Kremling Krew]] invaded the Northern Kremisphere, they built machines and factories over it, even deforesting the trees in the area (as seen in the level [[Ripsaw Rage]]).<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Kent Miller, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''
