Frantic Factory

Frantic Factory is the third level in Donkey Kong 64. It is a rogue toy manufacturing factory in which Chunky Kong is held captive. The area's boss is Mad Jack, the Jack-in-the-Box. Entry to this level requires 15 Golden Bananas.

This stage is notable for having an arcade machine with the original Donkey Kong game. Completing this game will award Donkey Kong with a Golden Banana, and if the player completes the game again, he or she is awarded the Nintendo Coin.

It is possible the factory is called "Krem Co.", as that name appears on a clock in the room across from the starting point.
