'''Gangplank Galleon''' is the name of the first world of both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It takes place on the large [[Gangplank Galleon|pirate ship of the same name]], docked right next to [[Crocodile Isle]]. Every level takes place on the pirate ship. The galleon has many chasms inside, 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]], appears in his own crow's nest at the peak of the area.

'''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 [[Gangplank Galleon|ship of the same name]], which belongs to the [[Kremling]]s and their supreme crocodilian leader, [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]].
In the instruction manual for both ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], the first world is incorrectly titled [[Gangplank Galley]].<ref name="engmanual">{{cite|title=''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' instruction booklet|page=20|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|date=1995}}</ref><ref>{{cite|date=2004|language=en-us|title=''Donkey Kong Country 2'' instruction booklet|page=26|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref>
 
After the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', [[Donkey Kong]] gets kidnapped by K. Rool - now under the name of [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Kaptain K. Rool]] - and his reptilian troops. K. Rool then vowes the rest of the [[Kong]]s that he will hand Donkey Kong back, in exchange for the craved [[Banana Hoard]]. [[Diddy Kong]] does not agree with the crocodilian leader's little business, and sets off on an adventure, along with his partner [[Dixie Kong]], to retrieve Donkey Kong from K. Rool. The primates must travel over the myriads of hazards placed on their way on the sinister [[Crocodile Isle]], and their first step starts on the aforementioned ship, wrecked on the west (east in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'') shores of the island. The galleon has not changed very much since ''Donkey Kong Country''; compared to how it looked on the world map of [[Donkey Kong Island]], it features the same mainbrace displaying the sail with a [[Kritter]] skull, the same golden Kremling figurehead under the bowsprit, and also has the same shape. However, minor changes have been added to the ship, such as the two masts, one standing in the front of the center mast and the other standing behind it; another change is the red flag at the top of the mainbrace, which replaces the pirate flag; the number of the cannons from the wall has been reduced from five to three. An avian pirate foe, [[Krow]], guards the shipwreck, whereas K. Rool abandoned it. There are also two "crow's nests": one is on the mainmast just under the red flag, and the other one is an actual nest owned by Krow.
 
As shown in the levels of this world, the galleon sports 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 uncountable [[List of enemies|enemies]], such as [[Neek]]s, [[Klomp]]s and [[Kaboing]]s, [[Flotsam]]s, [[Puftup]]s, [[Kruncha]]s, [[Lockjaw]]s, [[Shuri]]s, [[Klobber]]s, and [[Click-Clack]]s.

Gangplank Galleon is the name of the first world of both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It takes place on the large pirate ship of the same name, docked right next to Crocodile Isle. Every level takes place on the pirate ship. The galleon has many chasms inside, 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 Neeks, Klomps, and Krunchas. There are a few aquatic enemies in the flooded cargo hold, including Lockjaws, Shuri, and Puftups. A large Mini-Necky boss, Krow, appears in his own crow's nest at the peak of the area.

Because of 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. Gangplank Galleon even bears a resemblance to the ghost ship.

In the instruction manual for both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and its Game Boy Advance version, the first world is incorrectly titled Gangplank Galley.[1][2]

Levels[edit]

There are five levels and a boss level in both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. Though their names are identical, their layouts are drastically different, to the point of them being different levels:
