'''Kremkroc Industries, Inc.''' is a large, heavily-polluted industrial area near the [[Gorilla Glacier]] that first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Presumably built by the [[Kremling]]s, it boasts several factorys, a large polluted lake, several mines, and a giant [[Oil Drum]] named [[Dumb Drum]] that tries to squish the Kongs. It is probably a mining center, holding more mines and caves than factories. After [[Dumb Drum]] was defeated by the Kongs, it was probably deactivated, as it was never explored later and future views of Donkey Kong Island from [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest]] showed no smoke billowing from the factory smokestacks. It could have once been lush area full of nature (like [[Mekanos]]) that was taken over by Kremling technology, but if it recovered back to it's original forest state, or it had such an environment, is unknown.

Kremkroc Industries, Inc., also titled Kremkroc Industries,[1] Kremkroc Industries Inc.,[2] or Kremkrock Industry Inc.,[3] is a location in Donkey Kong Country. Located at the top-left of Donkey Kong Island, Kremkroc Industries, Inc. is the fifth world and an industrial area filled with subterranean areas and factories run by Kremlings. The factories generate a lot of pollution, causing the area to be murky. The pollution even carries over into a large pond at the bottom of the world. According to the Nintendo Power guide, Kremkroc Industries, Inc. used to be a lush environment before Kremlings built the factories.[4] The world's boss is Dumb Drum, who is a large black drum. The Factory world from Donkey Kong Country Returns is thematically similar and contains arrangements of its music; it has been suggested to be the same location.[5] In the titular cartoon, the place appears as King K. Rool's lair which the Mines are connected to.

The original render for Donkey Kong IslandMedia:DKC DK Island.jpg places the factory behind Vine Valley instead of on the Donkey Kong head's brow, suggesting it and Gorilla Glacier swapped world placement during the game's development.
