Some time after the events of Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong is relaxing at a beach and falls asleep.
At night, Diddy Kong and his girlfriend, Dixie Kong, are worried because Donkey Kong has not returned. They go to the beach to investigate, and the Kongs find many footprints surrounding Donkey Kong's broken chair. They find a note in the chair revealing that Kaptain K. Rool has captured Donkey Kong.
Cranky suggests handing over the banana hoard to K. Rool. Diddy and Dixie both say that they want to rescue Donkey Kong themselves. Diddy and Dixie first travel aboard Gangplank Galleon, a large pirate ship docked at the coast of Crocodile Isle, the hometown of the Kremlings. Diddy and Dixie move on to the volcanic world, Crocodile Cauldron, then the swampy Krem Quay, then the abandoned amusement park Krazy Kremland, and a spooky woods, Gloomy Gulch. With assistance from Cranky, Funky, Swanky, and Wrinkly Kong, Diddy and Dixie eventually reach K. Rool's Keep, where they find Donkey Kong tied up in a chamber. Just as they celebrate, Donkey Kong is pulled up into K. Rool's personal airship, The Flying Krock.
Aboard the giant airship, Diddy and Dixie find Donkey Kong tied up, and they battle Kaptain K. Rool. Donkey Kong eventually breaks free from his ropes, and he uppercuts K. Rool out of the roof. Kaptain K. Rool falls all the way down Crocodile Isle and into the surrounding water, where he is seemingly eaten up by sharks.
During their adventures, Diddy and Dixie can also enter the Lost World by paying a 15 Kremkoin fee to Klubba at his kiosk. The Kongs eventually enter Crocodile Isle's power source, Krocodile Kore, where they re-encounter Kaptain K. Rool. After a short battle, K. Rool's blunderbuss explodes, which propels him into the energy geyser powering Crocodile Isle. This blocks the power flow, which then destroys Crocodile Isle.
From a cliff, Donkey Kong, Diddy, and Dixie watch as Crocodile Isle explodes while sinking into the ocean. Just before the isle sinks, K. Rool escapes on a boat, laughing as he sails off into the horizon.
F.A.Q.
Collecting all the KONG letters and DK Coins does not unlock anything.
How to Unlock Lost World levels: 5 of the world maps contains a Klubba encounter where the player must pay 15 Kremkoins to enter a level in the Lost World. In order to access all 5 levels of the Lost World, the player will need to have collected a total of 75 Kremkoins (via Bonus Levels or via 75 Kremkoins Trick) throughout the levels.
How to Unlock Lost World Boss Level: To unlock the Lost World Boss level, the player must complete all 5 Lost World levels.
75 Kremkoins Trick: To instantly collect 75 Kremcoins, head to the game's first level, Pirate Panic. From the level start, head to the right a little bit until Diddy reaches a dropping point leading to the first line of bananas (there will be two of them). Instead of collecting the bananas, turn around and head through the door behind Diddy to enter K. Rool's cabin. Inside K. Rool's cabin will be a note and a balloon, ignore both of these for now and head back outside to where Diddy Kong just was. Now, begin heading to the right and DO NOT collect the two bananas near the cabin. Simply jump over them and continue through the level until Diddy reaches a banana bunch floating above some barrels. It is okay to kill the enemies along the way in this section as long as the first two bananas are left untouched. After collecting the banana bunch, head back to K. Rool's cabin while making sure to avoid those two bananas again. Re-enter K. Rool's cabin, this time making sure to grab the balloon and then repeat the previous step of avoiding the two bananas and collecting the banana bunch. After collecting the banana bunch for a second time, head back to the cabin to find a Kremkoin floating above the note. Collecting this Kremkoin will instantly add 75 to Diddy's total, allowing players access to all of Klubba's levels.
How to Save Your Game: to save the game, the player must visit Wrinkly Kong on the world map and talk to her. The first save in each world is free however subsequent saves will cost 2 banana coins.
