Rool's Keep]], but in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', the standalone [[Klubba's Kiosk]] appears to the left of it on the [[Crocodile Isle]] map.
 
Compared to its two preceding worlds, [[Krem Quay]] and [[Krazy Kremland]], Gloomy Gulch's world map is smaller, with a size around that of the first world, [[Gangplank Galleon]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, every world map was redesigned and extended, including Gloomy Gulch's, whose size rounds out that of previously-larger worlds.
 
A majority of Gloomy Gulch takes place in spooky woods, but it also features a haunted house with [[Kackle]]s, nestled in a clearing near the start, and a nearby [[Zinger]] hive. One of the wood levels has strong wind gusts, while another is covered in heavy fog. The world boss is [[Krow]]'s undead spirit, [[Kreepy Krow]], who is located and battled from the top-left corner of the area. In the ending of both games, the entirety of [[Crocodile Isle]], including Gloomy Gulch, sinks in the sea. In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', the rebuilt [[Crocodile Isle (Donkey Kong 64)|Crocodile Isle]] has a similar location, [[Creepy Castle]].

==Levels==
Like the other worlds, the level names for ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' are the same as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. The only level to not retain its name is Haunted Hall, which was replaced with a generic rollercoaster stage, Krazy Koaster. Despite its outdoors setting, the world map shows Krazy Koaster on the same location as Haunted Hall (a haunted house).

|In this level, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] need to get to the other side of a dense forest. [[Kloak]]s appear at various points and throw items at the duo.

|Haunted Hall is the second level of Gloomy Gulch. It is set in a an abandoned library, where the heroes must ride a [[Roller Coaster]] to the end. Haunted Hall is home to [[Kackle]]s, ghosts of the hall who chase after intruders, including the Kongs. There is a timer in the level during the time when a Kackle pursues Diddy and Dixie. The timer can be adjusted with the use of [[Plus and Minus Barrels]]; the Plus Barrel adding time, and the Minus Barrel decreasing time. When the timer runs out, the Kackle injures the lead Kong. The Kongs must try to avoid each Kackle, and reach gates that the Kackles cannot bypass. After a gate, there is usually another gate where a dormant Kackle waits for the Kongs.

|Gusty Glade is a dense forest level much like Ghostly Grove, but with a twist; heavy gusts and winds interfere with the Kong's way of getting to the end of the level. The wind blows normally at the start of the level, and strongly blows left or right later in the level. The wind has some advantages and disadvantages; the wind allows the Kongs to perform large jumps, but also may blow them into pits or at enemies in the direction it gusts. [[Rattly the Rattlesnake|Rattly]] can be found at the start of the level if the Kongs use their [[Team-up]] move to reach a hidden area with an [[Animal Crate]] of Rattly.

Level(s) 5
<< List of worlds >>

Gloomy Gulch, also titled Haunted Forest,[1] is the fifth world in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It is a haunted area set in a dilapidated ghost town set between dark, spooky woods. It is inhabited by ghostly creatures such as Kloaks. Gloomy Gulch takes place between Krazy Kremland and K. Rool's Keep, but in Donkey Kong Land 2, the standalone Klubba's Kiosk appears to the left of it on the Crocodile Isle map. In the official German guide for the game, it is implied that the forest is feared even by the Kremling pirates.[2] A majority of Gloomy Gulch takes place in spooky woods, but there is also a haunted house with Kackles, nestled in a clearing near the start, and a nearby Zinger hive.
