Castle Crush

Castle Crush is the thirtieth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, the twenty-ninth level in the Gameboy Advance remake, the third area of K. Rool's Keep, and the second area in the remake.

This is the first castle level that the Kongs will venture through, and it's far from easy. The rising floor will force the Kongs to avoid all ceilings, and the many enemies throughout the level will only make things worse. Rambi, who is needed to access a bonus area, can be found, but he's well hidden. Likewise, Squawks also appears in this level, and is needed to get hold of this level's DK Coin, and to reach another bonus area. Krunchas, Kutlass, Klampons, Krooks, Neeks, Spinys, Zingers and Mini-Neckys are all found here.

There is also a glitch found in this level. To do it, the player must play as Diddy Kong and pick up a barrel, then go up to a wall and release the Y button, but quickly hold it in again. If done correctly, Diddy will be in the position of holding a barrel, but he will not have a barrel in his hands. If the player releases the button, they may turn into different enemies or suddenly become Rambi. However, one move will freeze the game. WARNING: This glitch can erase files or even cause the whole game to crash. Do this under serious caution!
