The '''Knautilus''' is [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]'s submarine docked in [[Krematoa]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. The Knautilus is a green fish-shaped vehicle and is where the second and final boss battle against Baron K. Roolenstein takes place. It is likely named after the {{wp|Nautilus (Verne)|Nautilus}}, a submarine from the novels ''{{wp|Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Seas}}'' and ''{{wp|The Mysterious Island}}''. The interior of the Knautilus has a large conveyor belt on the floor, as well as a [[cannon]] that can launch fireballs. On each side, there are two large, circular devices capable of discharging electricity. | The '''Knautilus''' is [[King K. Rool|Baron K.

The Knautilus also appears in the opening cinematic of the game's [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, where it appears just before the game's title screen; here, the Knautilus opens its front end just before propelling itself at the screen. It could be a depiction of how [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] were captured by the Kremlings, since the intro starts from the perspective of a diving mask, which ends with the Knautilus closing in and "swallowing" the camera, followed by the next shot where the Knautilus rises out of the water. | The Knautilus also appears in the opening cinematic of the game's [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, where it appears just before the game's title screen; here, the Knautilus opens its front end just before propelling itself at the screen.

The battle starts with Baron K. Roolenstein pressing a remote control. This activates the upper electrical device, which discharges blue electricity between the left and right sides, while a cannon in the background shoots fireballs back and forth to the Kongs' path. The Kongs must not jump while the upper electrical device is active. When the electricity stops running, the lead Kong can attack Baron K. Roolenstein by throwing a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] into the overhead vent if Baron K. Roolenstein is close to the center of the background. This causes the Steel Barrel to land on him. Baron K. Roolenstein flies up the chute and lands into the main arena where the Kongs are. Baron K. Roolenstein starts moving back and forth in a set pattern. When he approaches either the left or right corner of the arena, the Kongs must jump onto the electrical machines while they are inactive. To attack Baron K. Roolenstein, Dixie or Kiddy must throw a Steel Barrel at his helicopter pack. After taking two hits, Baron K. Roolenstein moves back into the background and reactivates the cannon and the upper electrical machine. When it stops again, the Kongs must throw another Steel Barrel through the chute to hit Baron K. Roolenstein a fourth time. The process is repeated another time. | The battle starts with Baron K.
