Hot-Head Hop is the sixth level of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, and the first area of Crocodile Cauldron.
The level takes place inside a volcano, and the Kongs must use Krocheads as stepping stones in order to cross rivers of lava. This level also marks Squitter's first appearance, and he'll prove himself useful for reaching and completing bonus areas, as well as the DK Coin. Klampons make their debut here as well. Other enemies include Neeks, Klobbers, Zingers and Krunchas.
