Game Donkey Kong Country
Level(s) 6
<< List of worlds >>

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.
