'''Gangplank Galleon''' is the name of the first world of both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and its pseudo-sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It takes place on the large [[Gangplank Galleon|pirate ship of the same name]], which belongs to the [[Kremling]]s and their leader, [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]]. Gangplank Galleon is docked right next to [[Crocodile Isle]].

It takes place on the large [[Gangplank Galleon|pirate ship of the same name]], docked right next to [[Crocodile Isle]]. Every level takes place some place on the pirate ship. The galleon has many chasms inside, the masts form a good clamber system, and inside the ship is a flooded caliginous cargo. The masts, hold and deck host many enemies, the most common being [[Neek]]s, [[Klomp]]s, and [[Kruncha]]s. There are a few aquatic enemies in the flooded cargo hold, including [[Lockjaw]]s, [[Shuri]], and [[Puftup]]s. A large [[Mini-Necky]] boss, [[Krow]], appears in his own crow's nest at the peak of the area.

A large [[Mini-Necky]] boss, [[Krow]], is located at the peak of the area, in his own crow's nest.
Because of the German translation of the level [[Lockjaw's Locker]], the Gangplank Galleon has been believed to be a reference to The Flying Dutchman, a ship whose captain was cursed to roam the seas forever on that ship. Gangplank Galleon even bears a resemblance to the ghost ship.
{{br|left}}
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', Gangplank Galleon appears on the right side of Crocodile Isle, rather than the left (the positions of the isle and Gangplank Galleon are reversed in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''). Gangplank Galleon is also docked on the right side of Crocodile Isle in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version.
==Levels==
The level names are exactly the same between ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', but the layouts are different between every one. Most levels in ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' serve as simplified versions of the associated ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' level.


===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
In the instruction manual for both ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], the first world is incorrectly named [[Gangplank Galley]], despite the original version's manual even mentioning Gangplank Galleon.<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' instruction booklet, page 20.</ref><ref>''Donkey Kong Country 2'' instruction booklet, page 26.</ref>

Gangplank Galleon is the name of the first world of both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. It takes place on the large pirate ship of the same name, docked right next to Crocodile Isle. Every level takes place some place on the pirate ship. The galleon has many chasms inside, the masts form a good clamber system, and inside the ship is a flooded caliginous cargo. The masts, hold and deck host many enemies, the most common being Neeks, Klomps, and Krunchas. There are a few aquatic enemies in the flooded cargo hold, including Lockjaws, Shuri, and Puftups. A large Mini-Necky boss, Krow, appears in his own crow's nest at the peak of the area.

Because of the German translation of the level Lockjaw's Locker, the Gangplank Galleon has been believed to be a reference to The Flying Dutchman, a ship whose captain was cursed to roam the seas forever on that ship. Gangplank Galleon even bears a resemblance to the ghost ship.

In the instruction manual for both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and its Game Boy Advance version, the first world is incorrectly named Gangplank Galley, despite the original version's manual even mentioning Gangplank Galleon.[1][2]

There are five levels and a boss level in both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2. Though their names are identical, their layouts are drastically different, to the point of them being different levels:
