Krow reappears in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', reprising his role as the boss of Gangplank Galleon, but with a few differences in his battle style. At the start of the fight, he flies up to his nest and grabs an egg and swoops down at the Kongs, then releases the egg he is holding. Like in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', Diddy and Dixie can pick up the egg and throw it at Krow to attack him. After Krow's first hit, Krow attempts to fly up to his nest and repeats the step where he flies up to his nest, grabs an egg, swoops at the Kongs, then tries to attack the Kongs with the egg. The Kongs must once again throw the egg at Krow to damage him. Then, Krow follows the Kongs where they walk from up above to release eggs from his nest at the Kongs. The spinning eggs do not fall on the ground properly, but ones that fall straight down hit the ground so that the Kongs can use the egg as a weapon against Krow. When the Kongs hit Krow after he repeats this step again, Krow loses the battle and leaves behind a Kremkoin. The Kongs can then move on to [[Krem Cauldron]].
