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 sinks into the ocean. 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.

Though Crocodile Isle never directly appeared on the [[Donkey Kong Country (show)|''Donkey Kong Country'' animated series]], several Kremling characters such as King K. Rool and [[Kaptain Skurvy]] would sometimes mention the "swamps back home".<ref>'''K. Rool''': "''Oh, my favourite part is going back to the swamplands to play gator-games with all my slithering siblings.''" — The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights, ''Donkey Kong Country''</ref><ref>'''Kaptain Skurvy''': "''That's 'cause as a young 'un, ye played with 'em, and set the swamps on fire, burnin' us outta house and home.''" — The Kongo Bongo Festival of Lights, ''Donkey Kong Country''</ref>

{{quote2|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.|''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' SNES instruction booklet, page 20}}

{{quote2|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.|''Nintendo Power'' vol. 76, page 26}}

{{quote2|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!|''Nintendo Power'' vol. 79, page 15}}
