'''Krematoa''' (also known as the '''Lost World''') is a large, secret hidden area in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Krematoa's name is a pun of the volcanic island [[wikipedia:Krakatoa|Krakatoa]].

'''Krematoa''' (also known as the '''Lost World''') is a large, hidden area in the game ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' It takes place in a dormant volcano, and much of its terrain consists of cliffs and caverns. Contrarily, Krematoa also has both a jungle and a forest area, located at opposite ends of Krematoa. A large lake is in the center of the area. Krematoa's name is a portmanteau of the species [[Kremling]] and the volcanic island {{wp|Krakatoa}}. [[Boomer (Donkey Kong Country 3)|Boomer]] is the [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]] of Krematoa and resides in a [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter|bomb shelter]] near the world entrance. In the original [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] version, the world's theme is "Krematoa Koncerto", which is a more sinister arrangement of the game's main map theme, "Northern Kremisphere". Krematoa is the only world to not have a [[Swanky's Sideshow]] or a [[secret cave]]. Krematoa is somewhat similar to the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. Both worlds require the Kongs to pay an exclusive currency ([[Kremkoin]]s or [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]]s) to access each of the levels, and both worlds have a lake in the center where the final boss battle takes place.


Set inside a mountain or possibly dormant volcano, much of Krematoa's terrain consists of cliffs and caverns. However, Krematoa's overall climate is fairly warm, as a forest and a jungle can both be found at different ends of the area. There is also a lake in the center of the island, though there is nothing of interest there until the [[Kong]]s explore the rest of the island first.
Krematoa was originally just a legend believed to exist by [[Blunder]]. As the Kongs progress through the game, Blunder slowly leaks clues as to how they can find Krematoa. He reveals the actual method when the player completes the game. Krematoa once stood to the east of [[Mekanos]] but at some point had sunk to the bottom of a lake. The only remains of Krematoa are four rocks, each pointing in a compass direction. With the [[Hover Craft]] or [[Turbo Ski]], [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must circle around these rocks in a clockwise direction to make Krematoa rise out from the water.


At first, Krematoa was just a legend, believed to exist only by [[Blunder]]. However, as the Kongs progress through the game, Blunder slowly leaks clues as to how they might be able to find it. Krematoa indeed does exist, as it had once stood to the east of [[Mekanos]], but at some point it had sunken to the bottom of a lake. All that was left of the island were four rocks, each pointing in a compass direction.
Inside Krematoa, there is a group of large boulders, each one blocking the path to one of the levels. The Kongs must visit Boomer's Bomb Shelter and pay him Bonus Coins so that he sends explosives to destroy a set of boulders in the path. The Kongs can then access that level. The Kongs are rewarded a [[Cog (Donkey Kong Country 3)|cog]] for completing a level. Boomer puts the cogs on a machine in his bomb shelter. When all five cogs are on Boomer's machine, a tremor occurs in Krematoa, causing [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]'s [[Knautilus]] to rise up in the central lake. The lake turns from blue to red, and the entire Krematoa glows a faint red, which also affects each of Krematoa's levels (although not in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]]). After the Knautilus rises, a bridge rises out of the lake and extends to the submarine. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the Kongs can swim across the water to reach the Knautilus.

==Levels==
Once the Kongs get their hands on the [[Turbo Ski]], they are able to raise Krematoa by driving circles around the four rocks. Once it rises, the Kongs venture inside, only to discover that [[Boomer (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Boomer]] had already found his way inside and set up a [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter|bomb shelter]] near the entrance. Because large boulders block the Kongs' path, Boomer offers to blow them up in exchange for [[Bonus Coin]]s. As Boomer blows up more and more boulders, the Kongs are able to venture deeper into Krematoa.

Each completed level of Krematoa yields a gear cog which, when used along with the other cogs obtained from the other world levels, starts a machine in Boomer's shack that seems to 'summon' the [[Knautilus]], [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]'s massive submarine, from deep within the central lake, granting the Kongs access to the final boss fight. When this happens, the water of the lake turns red-hot and the surrounding area glows a faint red (which also expands to the levels), although the Kongs can endure swimming across it to reach Knautilus in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version. In the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|Super Nintendo]] version, a bridge will rise out the lake that the Kongs can use to reach the submarine.

—Blunder, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Krematoa (also known as the Lost World) is a large, hidden area in the game Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! It takes place in a dormant volcano, and much of its terrain consists of cliffs and caverns. Contrarily, Krematoa also has both a jungle and a forest area, located at opposite ends of Krematoa. A large lake is in the center of the area. Krematoa's name is a portmanteau of the species Kremling and the volcanic island Krakatoa. Boomer is the Brother Bear of Krematoa and resides in a bomb shelter near the world entrance. In the original Super Nintendo version, the world's theme is "Krematoa Koncerto", which is a more sinister arrangement of the game's main map theme, "Northern Kremisphere". Krematoa is the only world to not have a Swanky's Sideshow or a secret cave. Krematoa is somewhat similar to the Lost World from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Both worlds require the Kongs to pay an exclusive currency (Kremkoins or Bonus Coins) to access each of the levels, and both worlds have a lake in the center where the final boss battle takes place.

Krematoa was originally just a legend believed to exist by Blunder. As the Kongs progress through the game, Blunder slowly leaks clues as to how they can find Krematoa. He reveals the actual method when the player completes the game. Krematoa once stood to the east of Mekanos but at some point had sunk to the bottom of a lake. The only remains of Krematoa are four rocks, each pointing in a compass direction. With the Hover Craft or Turbo Ski, Dixie and Kiddy must circle around these rocks in a clockwise direction to make Krematoa rise out from the water.

Inside Krematoa, there is a group of large boulders, each one blocking the path to one of the levels. The Kongs must visit Boomer's Bomb Shelter and pay him Bonus Coins so that he sends explosives to destroy a set of boulders in the path. The Kongs can then access that level. The Kongs are rewarded a cog for completing a level. Boomer puts the cogs on a machine in his bomb shelter. When all five cogs are on Boomer's machine, a tremor occurs in Krematoa, causing Baron K. Roolenstein's Knautilus to rise up in the central lake. The lake turns from blue to red, and the entire Krematoa glows a faint red, which also affects each of Krematoa's levels (although not in the Game Boy Advance remake). After the Knautilus rises, a bridge rises out of the lake and extends to the submarine. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the Kongs can swim across the water to reach the Knautilus.
