'''Crocodile Isle'''<ref>"''The Islands: The once idyllic Kong Isle now has an unpleasant neighbor in the form of K. Rool's massive mechanical Crocodile Isle. This monstrosity towers over our homeland, with the ridiculously named Blast-o-Matic device ready to reduce it to rubble. Between them, these two contrasting islands conceal the entrances to all the levels.''" - ''Donkey Kong 64'' instruction booklet, page 29.</ref> (also referred to as '''Crocodile Rock'''<ref>The ''Donkey Kong 64'' [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], on page 49, but then immediately refers to it afterward as "Crocodile Isle".</ref>, '''K.

Rool Island'''<ref>https://web.archive.org/web/20000304171035/http://www.nintendo.com:80/n64/donkeykong64/dkisles.html</ref>) is a massive naval fortress made of metal which serves as [[King K. Rool]]'s base of operations in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. It was apparently modeled after K. Rool himself. The ship has an engine and can be moved through the sea with its two ships' screws. The base is operated and mainly serviced by [[Kritter]]s, although in some cutscenes they are shown to have little knowledge about the machinery and mainly use force to keep the base operational. In the center of the ship, a large laser cannon called [[Blast-o-Matic]] is installed. This fragile machine is also maintained by Kritters. The leader of the [[Kremling Krew]], King K. Rool, resides in a chamber that resembles a throne room. It is located in [[Hideout Helm]], the last world of the game. According to the German ''Donkey Kong 64'' website, this island was designed and constructed by [[Snide]].<ref>{{ref quote|The former chief technician of King K.
