Crocodile Isle (also known as the Kremling island[1][2] and Krem Island[3]) is a large mountainous island and the main setting of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It is also the originating location of the Kremlings, the Kremling Krew's capital base of operations, and the neighboring island to Donkey Kong Island. After being destroyed, it was replaced by an artificial island built by Snide in Donkey Kong 64.[4]

“Have you been to see my husband Cranky? He complains a little, but he does know everything about this island.”
—Wrinkly Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

During the events of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong travel to Crocodile Isle in search for Donkey Kong. If they manage to defeat Kaptain K. Rool a second time, in Krocodile Kore, he falls into Krocodile Kore's volcano, which creates an explosion resulting in the entire Crocodile Isle sinking into the sea. However, K. Rool manages to escape on a raft, laughing. Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Dixie witness all of these events from Donkey Kong Island.

Crocodile Isle directly contrasts with Donkey Kong Island, which features a thriving ecosystem and plentiful wildlife. Crocodile Isle has a dark and murky environment with lots of pollution and barrenness, as evidenced by the dead trees, mining, toxic waste, and garbage. This was caused by K. Rool's pollution and waste of natural resources.[5] However, Crocodile Isle is seemingly in close proximity to Donkey Kong Island to the southeast, as said island is visible from two locations on the isle. A hidden location also appears somewhere in Crocodile Isle, and it does not appear on the main world map, the Lost World. A large volcano-shaped altar, Krocodile Kore, appears in the center of the Lost World, and it serves as the island's core.

Shipwrecks surround Crocodile Isle. A large sculpted crocodile head follows after it, at the very bottom of the isle. An isolated volcanic region and a few mine shafts are hosted within the sculpted head. Most of the lower region consists of swamps: one of them features a massive shipwreck and another has an abandoned, derelict amusement park built upon it. Zinger hives and bramble infestations are also common areas.

The higher altitudes of Crocodile Isle are colder and very windy. This shift occurs in a spooky forest following after the swamps and amusement park. Lastly, K. Rool's Keep appears at the peak, atop a cluster of carved K. Rool heads known as Mount Kremore.[6] The castle is the highest altitude of Crocodile Isle, and due to its high elevation, there are a few frozen caverns in the tower's foundation.

Cranky Kong is knowledgeable about Crocodile Isle, even knowing about the secret Lost World.[7][8]

Crocodile Isle features the following worlds:

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

In Donkey Kong Land 2, the story behind Crocodile Isle is a retelling of that from Donkey Kong Country 2, where Diddy and Dixie go to rescue Donkey Kong. As a result of defeating Kaptain K. Rool in the Lost World, the entire Crocodile Isle explodes and simultaneously sinks into the ocean. This time, K. Rool is not seen escaping the isle. There are only a few differences with Crocodile Isle: the map layout is reversed, two of the worlds were merged into a volcanic-swamp hybrid, Krem Cauldron, and a single Klubba's Kiosk appears on the main world map, left of Gloomy Gulch.

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

The new Crocodile Isle
“SQUAWK! He's back, DK! King K. Rool's island is just over there!”
—Squawks, Donkey Kong 64

A new version of Crocodile Isle[9] (also referred to as Crocodile Rock,[10] K. Rool's Mobile Island Fortress,[11] and K. Rool Island[12][13]) returns in Donkey Kong 64, where it has been converted into a massive naval fortress by Snide.[14] The ship is gray and green and features several metal pieces over the original stone island. It has iron patches, a bronze head, red eyes, a golden crown, a wooden bridge, gray floors, pipes, five doors and red propellers. Crocodile Isle has an engine allowing it to move through the sea by using the ships' two screws. K. Lumsy's Prison is connected to Crocodile Isle through a cable. The base of Crocodile Isle is mainly operated and serviced by Kritters, although in some cutscenes, they are shown to have little knowledge about the machinery and rely mostly on force to keep its base operational. A large laser cannon named the Blast-o-Matic is installed in the center of the ship, and the machine is also maintained by Kritters. King K. Rool resides in a chamber resembling a throne room. The final level, Hideout Helm, takes place inside Crocodile Isle, and the Kongs can explore areas such as the ship control room and the throne room.

During the game's opening, King K. Rool orders his servants to move Crocodile Isle to the DK Isles, where he attempts to use the Blast-o-Matic to destroy Kong Isle to take revenge on Donkey Kong and his friends. Though later, an argument starts between the two Kritters in charge of the steering wheel, as they cannot decide whether to move the ship to the right or to the left. The purple Klaptrap who controls the steering wheel gets distracted by the argument, and the ship crashes against a rock, breaking the Blast-o-Matic. After this, the Kremlings fix the Blast-o-Matic while Donkey Kong is distracted by King K. Rool's guards. During the game, a few levels are accessed from different parts of Crocodile Isle, including K. Lumsy's Prison. The last level, Hideout Helm, is located at the top of the Kremling base. The Kongs come here to shut down the Blast-o-Matic and battle K. Rool, though the latter flees in his aircraft before being defeated. In the Game Over sequence, King K. Rool aims the Blast-o-Matic out from Crocodile Isle directly at Kong Isle.

The following places can be accessed from Crocodile Isle:

  • K. Lumsy's Prison: A floating nearby island that is attached to the main island, where K. Lumsy is being held captive.
  • Frantic Factory: A hazardous toy factory filled with various mechanical foes, roughly corresponding to Kremkroc Industries, Inc. from Donkey Kong Country. Mad Jack is fought here.
  • Gloomy Galleon: A shipwreck-filled lagoon which appears to be naturally made from stone, roughly corresponding to Gangplank Galleon (which itself makes a cameo) and Krem Quay. Puftoss is fought here.
  • Creepy Castle: A haunted castle high above the island, filled with ghosts and illusions, roughly corresponding to Gloomy Gulch and K. Rool's Keep. King Kut Out is fought here.
  • Hideout Helm: A battle station where both King K. Rool and the Blast-o-Matic are located.

Other appearances[edit]

Donkey Kong Country television series[edit]

Though Crocodile Isle never directly appeared on the Donkey Kong Country television series, several Kremling characters such as King K. Rool and Kaptain Skurvy would sometimes mention the "swamps back home".[15][16]

Bumm-Badabumm im Urwald[edit]

In the obscure Donkey Kong comic Bumm-Badabumm im Urwald, Crocodile Isle never made a direct appearance, though several locations ventured through in the comic, such as a Krochead and a crashed ship-filled swamp, along with the "Lost Land", are obviously based off areas of Crocodile Isle.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

Crocodile Isle in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Crocodile Isle reappears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as part of King K. Rool's Final Smash, in which he fires the Blast-o-Matic at Donkey Kong Island. While primarily based on the iteration from Donkey Kong 64, the island has been redesigned, now being a natural island like the original instead of a naval fortress. The top is now shiny and golden, while the body of it has been simplified.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons[edit]

Crocodile Isle is mentioned in Animal Crossing: New Horizons by Captain Gullivarrr, in dialogue added to the July 3, 2020 update. If the player finds Gullivarrr, he may say, "Folks be fearin' me buccaneerin' from Crocodile Isle to Keelhaul Key..."

Profiles[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

  • Instruction booklet: As the home port of Kaptain K. Rool's cutthroat pirates. Crocodile Isle is teeming with all types of Kremlings. There's even more variety of terrain on this than there was in Donkey Kong Country. And K. Rool definitely has the home turf advantage here.[17]
  • Nintendo Power vol. 76: The home island of K. Rool holds creatures that bite and sting and crush and claw - rats on the shipwrecks, bees in the hives, porcupines in the woods, pufferfish in the sea.[18]
  • Nintendo Power vol. 79: King K. Rool now fancies himself a pirate, taking on the title of "Kaptain" and ordering his Kremlings to dress up as peg-legged buccaneers. In the best (worst?) pirate tradition, they've kidnapped Donkey Kong and are holding him for ransom in their lair on Crocodile Isle. Now it's Diddy and Dixie's turn to play hero, swinging, jumping and bopping their way across six massive worlds (each with multiple stages) in search of their hapless comrade![19]
  • Nintendo Magazine System (UK): K. Rool's island is host to all manner of biting things, stinging things and crawling things![20]
  • Instruction booklet (Game Boy Advance version): As the hideout of Kaptain K. Rool's cutthroat pirates, Crocodile Isle is teeming with Kremlings of all kinds, and there's an even greater variety of terrain on this island than in Donkey Kong Country. Going sightseeing? Here's what to look for![21]

Donkey Kong 64[edit]

  • Player's Guide
    • After Diddy delivers his key to K. Lumsy, the Kremling's tremors of joy will shake open a door on Crocodile Isle and raise a platform on its lower deck. Swim to the isle and hop onto the raised platform to reach the catwalk. Follow the path to the door at the top, then venture inside to meet up with Chunky, and a box of toys more dangerous than darts.[22]
    • Hop in and hold onto your hide for an express ride to the haunted apex of K. Rool's great warship.[23]
