The | Diddy and Dixie travel through several worlds, including the [[Gangplank Galleon]], [[Krem Cauldron]], [[Krazy Kremland]], [[Gloomy Gulch]], and [[K. Rool's Keep]]. The [[Kong]]s eventually reach [[Stronghold Showdown]] at the peak of Crocodile Isle, where they find Donkey Kong tied up in ropes. Before they can rescue him, he is lifted into [[The Flying Krock]]. There, the Kongs encounter Kaptain K. Rool. They engage in battle, and the Kongs eventually defeat the Kremling leader, and Donkey Kong frees himself from his chains. Before Kaptain K. Rool can attack again, Donkey Kong knocks him out of his ship, sending him into the ocean. | ||
Even after freeing Donkey Kong, both Diddy and Dixie must pay 47 [[Kremkoin]]s to [[Klubba]] to enter the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]. After completing the world, the mouth of the stone crocodile head opens. Diddy and Dixie go inside and battle Kaptain K. Rool again. The Kongs eventually defeat Kaptain K. Rool another time and then flee from Crocodile Isle. From a distance, Diddy, Dixie, and Donkey Kong watch as Crocodile Isle sinks into the ocean. | Even after freeing Donkey Kong, both Diddy and Dixie must pay 47 [[Kremkoin]]s to [[Klubba]] to enter the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]].
