Squawks's Shaft is the tenth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and the fifth area of Crocodile Cauldron.
As the title implies, this level takes place inside a mine shaft, and Squawks (in his first playable appearance) can be found throughout the second half. Krooks make their first appearance in this level. Other enemies include Klomps, Kannons and Zingers.
