'''Stronghold Showdown''' is a short level in [[Donkey Kong Country 2]] and [[Donkey Kong Land 2]]. It is simply a strait path with no enemies. However, in the middle of the level, [[Donkey Kong]] appears with metal chains tied around him. He is taken to [[King K. Rool]]'s helicopter. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] then chase him to the next world, the last world of the game. Stronghold Showdown can also be used as a free trip out of the world without paying [[Funky's Flights II]] to get out.

Kerozene will breathe fire in three different directions. His gigantic fists sometimes smash against the ground, stunning them momentarily. For his final attack, Kerozene shoots a fireball that sets the ground on fire. One Kong must grab the kannonball, jump on his hands before the ground bursts into flame, and throw it at his head to defeat him. After his defeat, he will fall with smoke coming from his mouth.
