'''Glimmer's Galleon''' is the twelfth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the second level of [[Krem Quay]]. It takes place in the flooded cargo of a dark, submerged galleon. For nearly the entire level, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] are assisted by the titular [[Glimmer]], who follows them around, lighting the path forward. The Kongs encounter four types of underwater enemies: [[Flotsam]]s, [[Puftup]]s, [[Shuri]]s and [[Lockjaw]]s. A [[Klomp]] appears near the start, walking underwater, and a [[Spiny (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Spiny]] appears at the very end, when the Kongs exit the cargo. It is the only underwater level without [[Enguarde the Swordfish]], meaning the [[Kong]]s cannot defeat the enemies and should avoid them instead. As with earlier underwater level, there are certain parts of the wall that Diddy and Dixie can swim through: this is required for them to obtain the [[DK Coin|Video Game Hero Coin]]. | '''Glimmer's Galleon''' is the twelfth level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and the second level of [[Krem Quay]].

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Glimmer's Galleon has a brighter appearance because original models of the handheld do not have a backlit screen. Since the player can make out their surroundings more easily, Glimmer's role is optional. The remake also adds an [[Invincibility Barrel]], which the Kongs are required to use to defeat a certain enemy and obtain its [[photograph]]. | In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, Glimmer's Galleon has a brighter appearance because original models of the handheld do not have a backlit screen.
