'''Krem Quay''' is one of the many locations visited by [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] in their quest to rescue [[Donkey Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Krem Quay is ruled by the powerful [[Kudgel]]. This world appears to once have been the main port of [[Crocodile Isle]], but is now a murky swamp. The quay is infested with a large amount of [[bramble]] vines and the remains of a large ship originally owned by [[King K. Rool]],<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Nintendo Power Player's Guide, page 20</ref> ripped in half and found submerged in the swamp; the water is also extremely polluted. In order for the [[Kong]]s to navigate their way through it, they need the help of [[Glimmer the Angler Fish]]. Shortly after beating [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Kaptain K. Rool]] the first time around, he falls into Krem Quay and also gets chomped on by sharks. At the end of the game, Krem Quay, along with the rest of Crocodile Isle, sank to the bottom of the ocean.
'''Krem Quay''' is the third world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', more specifically [[Crocodile Isle]], and it takes place at a murky swamp. It does not directly reappear in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' as a standalone world, where it was combined with [[Crocodile Cauldron]] to form a single world, [[Krem Cauldron]]. The left half of Krem Cauldron consists of Krem Quay's stages.
 
==Description==
Being a swamp, a fraction of Krem Quay's levels take place in a swamp environment, with dirty swamp pits occupying a fraction of the stages, and a catacomb of [[bramble]]s deep into the world. The main landmark of Krem Quay is a large shipwreck of a ship that originally belonged to [[King K. Rool]].<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Nintendo Power Player's Guide, page 20</ref> The ship is broken in two halves, and each half appears on either side of the world map. The remaining levels take place on either half of the shipwreck.
 
Shortly after beating [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Kaptain K. Rool]] aboard [[The Flying Krock]], he falls down from the world map, bouncing on Krem Quay's location, and then into the water where he gets chomped on by sharks. After completing the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]], Krem Quay, along with the rest of Crocodile Isle, sink down into the ocean.
 
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] port, Krem Quay appears on the leftmost side of the Crocodile Isle map rather than the rightmost side. In both versions, the Crocodile Isle map shows a series of stairs following after Krem Quay and leading to the next world, [[Krazy Kremland]].


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Krem Quay is located on the left side of Crocodile Isle instead of the right. It is also set on the stairs leading to Krazy Kremland, since the sunken ship and dock in front of said stairs is missing.

| Barrel Bayou is the introductory level to Krem Quay, showcasing the swamp environment. Early into the level, a rotatable barrel can be found. The timer on the barrel indicates how much time is remaining until the barrel must be shot, and in that time players can aim the barrel. If the player does not shoot the Kong they are controlling before time runs out, the Kong will automatically leave the barrel. Various parts of the level consist of manually needing to aim the barrel and fire it so the Kongs will land in the next barrel in order to advance. This task is fairly easy at first, though a few parts possess the difficulty of segments from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s [[Barrel Cannon Canyon]].

Template:Quote2

Krem Quay is the third world of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, more specifically Crocodile Isle, and it takes place at a murky swamp. It does not directly reappear in Donkey Kong Land 2 as a standalone world, where it was combined with Crocodile Cauldron to form a single world, Krem Cauldron. The left half of Krem Cauldron consists of Krem Quay's stages.

Description

Being a swamp, a fraction of Krem Quay's levels take place in a swamp environment, with dirty swamp pits occupying a fraction of the stages, and a catacomb of brambles deep into the world. The main landmark of Krem Quay is a large shipwreck of a ship that originally belonged to King K. Rool.[1] The ship is broken in two halves, and each half appears on either side of the world map. The remaining levels take place on either half of the shipwreck.

Shortly after beating Kaptain K. Rool aboard The Flying Krock, he falls down from the world map, bouncing on Krem Quay's location, and then into the water where he gets chomped on by sharks. After completing the Lost World, Krem Quay, along with the rest of Crocodile Isle, sink down into the ocean.

In the Game Boy Advance port, Krem Quay appears on the leftmost side of the Crocodile Isle map rather than the rightmost side. In both versions, the Crocodile Isle map shows a series of stairs following after Krem Quay and leading to the next world, Krazy Kremland.
