Kremkroc Industries, Inc.

Kremkroc Industries, Inc. is a large, heavily-polluted industrial area near the Gorilla Glacier that first appeared in Donkey Kong Country. Presumably built by the Kremlings, it boasts several factories, a large polluted lake, several mines, and a giant Oil Drum boss named Dumb Drum that tries to squish the Kongs. It is probably a mining center, holding more mines and caves than factories. After Dumb Drum was defeated by the Kongs, it was probably deactivated, as it was never explored later and future views of Donkey Kong Island from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest showed no smoke billowing from the factory smokestacks. It could have once been lush area full of nature (like Mekanos) that was taken over by Kremling technology, but if it recovered back to its original forest state, or it had such an environment, is unknown. However, similar area in Donkey Kong Country Returns is known as the Factory. It is likely that this is supposed to be the same location, and is possibly the remainder of the Kremlings' occupation on the island. In the Donkey Kong Country TV show, the place appeared as King K. Rool's lair which the Mines are connected to.

Trivia

 * The Factory in Donkey Kong Country Returns is a reference to Kremkroc Industries Inc., having-heavily polluted skies (Foggy Fumes), and large industrial systems of gears, pipes, and machines.
 * This area of Donkey Kong Island gets its name from the beginning part of both Kremling and Crocodile.
