'''The Flying Krock''' is the final world in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', not including the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]. It is the seventh and sixth worlds of the respective games. The Flying Krock also refers to the name of the airship used by [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Kaptain K. Rool]] to hold [[Donkey Kong]] as a hostage. The airship itself is shaped like a crocodile, and features four pairs of propellers to keep it airborne.

'''The Flying Krock''' (referred to as the '''Krockship''' in the GBA version's Sound Player) is the final [[world]] in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', not including the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Lost World]]. It is an enormous, crocodile-shaped {{wp|quadcopter}} where [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Kaptain K. Rool]] holds [[Donkey Kong]] as a hostage, after completing [[Stronghold Showdown]], when Donkey Kong is pulled up from there and into The Flying Krock. From the [[Crocodile Isle]] map, a ladder drops from the airship, and Kaptain K. Rool is seen climbing up into The Flying Krock.
In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, each pair of blades is replaced by a turbine. The Flying Krock also appears in the introduction cutscene when starting a new game, where Kaptain K. Rool and the [[Kremling Krew]] are shown using the airship to kidnap Donkey Kong and then flee.
 
At [[Stronghold Showdown]] of [[K. Rool's Keep]], the Kongs find Donkey Kong tied up in a chamber. Before they can rescue him, Donkey Kong is pulled up into The Flying Krock. From the [[Crocodile Isle]] map, a ladder drops from the airship, and Kaptain K. Rool is seen climbing up into The Flying Krock. These events do not occur in the Game Boy Advance remake.


In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], each pair of blades is replaced by a turbine. The Flying Krock also appears in the opening cutscene, where Kaptain K. Rool and the [[Kremling Krew]] take Donkey Kong after kidnapping him. Because of this, Donkey Kong is in The Flying Krock for the duration of the adventure, and he no longer appears in Stronghold Showdown. Additionally, the Flying Krock itself is directly above K. Rool's Keep, rather than in front of it, and the ladder goes straight up. The [[Kong Kollege]] is now on the top tower of the Keep, instead of inside the bramble patch, like [[Funky's Flights II]]. In the ending, after finishing The Flying Krock, a cutscene shows the ship crashing, but all the Kongs manage to escape on time.

The Flying Krock has only one regular level and a boss level, making it the shortest world in both games. After completing the level, the Kongs can access [[Kong Kollege]], [[Funky's Flights II]], or the final battle against Kaptain K. Rool.

Cranky Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)

The Flying Krock (referred to as the Krockship in the GBA version's Sound Player) is the final world in both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, not including the Lost World. It is an enormous, crocodile-shaped quadcopter where Kaptain K. Rool holds Donkey Kong as a hostage, after completing Stronghold Showdown, when Donkey Kong is pulled up from there and into The Flying Krock. From the Crocodile Isle map, a ladder drops from the airship, and Kaptain K. Rool is seen climbing up into The Flying Krock.

In the Game Boy Advance version, each pair of blades is replaced by a turbine. The Flying Krock also appears in the opening cutscene, where Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew take Donkey Kong after kidnapping him. Because of this, Donkey Kong is in The Flying Krock for the duration of the adventure, and he no longer appears in Stronghold Showdown. Additionally, the Flying Krock itself is directly above K. Rool's Keep, rather than in front of it, and the ladder goes straight up. The Kong Kollege is now on the top tower of the Keep, instead of inside the bramble patch, like Funky's Flights II. In the ending, after finishing The Flying Krock, a cutscene shows the ship crashing, but all the Kongs manage to escape on time.

Levels[edit]

In both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, The Flying Krock has only one level and a boss level, making the shortest in both games, and completing the first level unlocks the world's Kong Kollege, Funky's Flights II, or the final battle against Kaptain K. Rool:
