- —Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Krocodile Kore is the second and true final boss level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. It is a large volcano with an entrance shaped like a Kremling head. It appears in the centered crater lake of the Lost World. Its interior appears to be a shrine, featuring artifacts such as armored Kremling statues, an altar, treasure, and weaponry. Krocodile Kore is the power source of Crocodile Isle, which is caused by a geyser of pink and blue energy emitting out of its volcano crater. The head is originally closed, but its mouth opens after Diddy and Dixie Kong complete every level of the Lost World. This allows the Kongs to enter the location where they have their second and final battle against Kaptain K. Rool. Completing this level rewards the player with a Video Game Hero Coin.
If the player used the secret in the very first level of the game to get all 75 Kremkoins, players can finish this level before the actual first boss battle. Doing so will reset lives and coins but the rest of the game can still be played afterwards.
Layout[edit]
When the Kongs enter the location, they immediately encounter Kaptain K. Rool. He is drenched from landing in his swamp, and he shakes off some seaweed and empties fish from his blunderbuss. The battle is significantly different from K. Rool's first match in The Flying Krock.
In Krocodile Kore, Kaptain K. Rool fires a very long onslaught of spiked kannonballs and purple (or blue in the Game Boy Advance version) gas clouds, all of which the Kongs must dodge. The last object that K. Rool fires out is a barrel, which contains a regular kannonball. Like in the previous battle, K. Rool attempts to vacuum the Kongs toward him via his blunderbuss. The Kongs must pick up the kannonball and toss it in his blunderbuss during the suction period. If the player fails to throw the kannonball into his blunderbuss, the entire dodging sequence starts again.
Kaptain K. Rool is defeated by a single kannonball in this battle, as upon trying to fire it out, his blunderbuss explodes, hurling him into the air. During that time, the player gets rewarded with a Video Game Hero Coin.
K. Rool lands on the power source, where he gets stuck, and blocks the volcano's energy flow, which starts an earthquake. The power source explodes, and in the SNES version, K. Rool's Keep is soon destroyed. The Kongs and K. Rool manage to escape as Crocodile Isle sinks underwater.

Notes[edit]
- According to a drawing by Gregg Mayles, Klubba was planned as the final boss, in an encounter similar to Kudgel. Kaptain K. Rool eventually became the boss of Krocodile Kore. The events that transpire after defeating the boss of Krocodile Kore were kept—the villain flies into the power supply, the area crumbles, and the Kongs retreat away from the island.[1]
