'''Kremkroc Industries, Inc.''' is a large, heavily-polluted industrial factory-like area near the [[Gorilla Glacier]] that first appeared in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Built by the [[Kremling Krew]] under [[King K. Rool]]'s orders<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1994, p. 88</ref>, Kremkroc is made up of a few large buildings, a large polluted lake, several mines, and a robotic giant [[Oil Drum]] boss named [[Dumb Drum]] which was programmed to squish the [[Kong]]s<ref>''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1994, p. 104</ref>. Whether it is related to the much larger [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|factory]] that appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' is unknown, although the latter features arrangements of the former's music. In the [[Donkey Kong Country (television series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' TV show]], the place appears as King K. Rool's lair which the [[Monkey Mines|Mines]] are connected to.

|This level has a walkway theme and an elevator theme. After avoiding nuts thrown by a [[Necky]] at the start of the level, the lead Kong should proceed to the elevator platform. Once the leader sets foot on it, the platform automatically starts, though the speed and direction are unchangeable. In the first half of the level, Neckies appear to pester the Kongs, either flying at the elevator or spitting deadly nuts at them. After the continue barrel has been broken, Gnawties come to further annoy the Kongs, usually falling straight at them.

Kremkroc Industries, Inc., formatted as Kremkroc Industries in the Game Boy Color version, Kremkroc Industries Inc. in the Game Boy Advance version, and also known as Kremkrock Industry Inc.,[1] is a location in Donkey Kong Country. Located at the top-left of Donkey Kong Island, Kremkroc Industries, Inc. is the fifth world of the game and an industrial area filled with subterranean areas and factories run by the Kremlings. The factories generate a lot of pollution, causing the area to be murky. The pollution even carries over into a large pond at the bottom of the world. According to the Nintendo Power guide, Kremkroc Industries, Inc. used to be a lush environment before Kremlings built the factories.[2] The world's boss is Dumb Drum, who is a large black drum. The Factory world from Donkey Kong Country Returns is thematically similar and contains arrangements of its music; it has been suggested to be the same location.[3]

The original render for Donkey Kong IslandMedia:DKC DK Island.jpg places the factory behind Vine Valley instead of on the Donkey Kong head's brow, suggesting it and Gorilla Glacier swapped world placement during the game's development.

In the Donkey Kong Country TV show, the place appears as King K. Rool's lair which the Mines are connected to.
