Located at the top-left of [[Donkey Kong Island]], Kremkroc Industries, Inc. is an industrial area filled with subterranean areas and factories run by the [[Kremling]]s. 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.<ref>"'''Factory''': ''Welcome to the wastelands. This area of the island, once lush and overgrown with island greenery, has been stripped of all its natural beauty. Instead, smog clouds the air and there is a general lack of greenery. King K.

'''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>"'''About Oil Drum Alley''': ''Welcome to the wastelands. This area of the island, once lush and overgrown with island greenery, has been stripped of all its natural beauty. Instead, smog clouds the air and there is a general lack of greenery. King K. Rool and his factories are to be held responsible for polluting the place. The levels of toxicity are high, so don't spend more time than you have to in this slimy area there are many Items hidden in the factories.''" - The ''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide, page 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>"'''About Dumb Drum''': ''This major baddie is unlike any other enemy on the entire island. It's a mechanical (sort of) beast. A giant skull and crossbones is painted on its side. This is a warning and should not be taken lightly! Dumb Drum, while having no apparent functional eyes, can sense where you are in its lair and will try to oust you by landing on your head. Don't let Dumb Drum get the best of you! Your bananas are much too important.''" - The ''Donkey Kong Country'' Player's Guide, page 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.
{{media link|DKC DK Island.jpg|The original render for Donkey Kong Island}} 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.

Kremkroc Industries, Inc. has two factory levels, two walkway levels (one of them is a [[Mine Cart]] stage), a cave level, and an underwater level.
! Level
<gallery widths=256>
! Description
Oil Drum Alley SNES.png|'''[[Oil Drum Alley]]'''<br>The first level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc., Oil Drum Alley takes place in a factory. [[Oil Barrel]]s are main obstacle that the Kongs have to avoid along the way.
! width=10%|Enemies
Trick Track Trek SNES.png|'''[[Trick Track Trek]]'''<br>The second level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc., Trick Track Trek involves the Kongs riding an elevator platform throughout the level, avoiding Neckys in the first half and Gnawties and Klumps falling at them during the second half.
! Animal Friends
Elevator Antics SNES.png|'''[[Elevator Antics]]'''{{footnote|main|a}}<br>The third level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc., Elevator Antics first begins as an ordinary cave level, with [[Slippa]]s and [[Zinger]]s to avoid, and rising and falling [[lift|elevators]] do not appear until the second half.
|-
Poison Pond 5.png|'''[[Poison Pond]]'''{{footnote|main|a}}<br>The fourth level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc., Poison Pond takes place in a polluted, green pond. Several [[Mincer]]s appear throughout the level, often moving in the Kong's path. Every water enemy appears in the level except Chomps.
|align="center"|[[File:Oil Drum Alley SNES.png]]<br>'''[[Oil Drum Alley]]'''
Mine Cart Madness 7.png|'''[[Mine Cart Madness]]'''{{footnote|main|b}}<br>The fifth level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc., Mine Cart Madness is the only other [[Mine Cart]] level aside from [[Mine Cart Carnage]]. However, the Kongs now have to jump out of the Mine Cart to avoid dangerous obstacles, grab items, or to jump on enemies.
|Oil Drum Alley takes place in a factory, and it has metallic floors, yellow caution strips, flaming oil barrels, and [[Gnawty]]s. The level has the Kongs evade Oil Barrels, bounce on rubber tires, and use the TNT barrels located inside loose floor tiles to find [[Bonus Area]]s.
Blackout Basement SNES.png|'''[[Blackout Basement]]'''{{footnote|main|b}}<br>The sixth level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc., Blackout Basement takes place in a factory with electrical problems. As a result, the lights flicker on and off repeatedly, and while the lights are off, the level goes completely black, hiding everything except the Kongs.
|[[Gnawty]]<br>[[Kritter]]<br>[[Manky Kong]]
DKC-BossDumbDrum.png|'''Boss level: [[Boss Dumb Drum]]'''<br>The boss level of Kremkroc Industries, Inc., Boss Dumb Drum involves a boss fight against the giant enemy-spawning [[black drum]], [[Dumb Drum]].

{{footnote|note|a|Elevator Antics and Poison Pond switch positions in the Game Boy Advance version.}}
|This level has both a walkway 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.

|None
|-
|align="center"|[[File:Elevator Antics SNES.png]]<br>'''[[Elevator Antics]]'''*
|Another cave/elevator level. This level first starts off as a regular cave level, with many [[Slippa]]s and [[Zinger]]s to spare; the level even features ropes. Later in the level, though, rising and falling elevators are found.
|[[Slippa]]<br>Mini-Necky<br>Zinger<br>Klump
|None
|-
|align="center"|[[File:Poison Pond 5.png]]<br>'''[[Poison Pond]]'''*
|Poison Pond takes place in a polluted, green pond. Going to the left of the screen from where the level starts reveals a secret area which has the letter "K" and an animal crate with Enguarde inside. Many [[Mincer]]s are found throughout the level, and often move in the Kong's path. Every water enemy is in the level except Chomps.
|[[Bitesize]]<br>[[Chomps Jr.]]<br>[[Squidge]]
|[[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde]]
|-
|align="center"|[[File:Mine Cart Madness 7.png]]<br>'''[[Mine Cart Madness]]'''**
|The fifth level of the world and the second and last [[Mine Cart]] level. Unlike [[Mine Cart Carnage]], the Kongs jump out of the Mine Cart to avoid dangerous obstacles, grab items, or to jump on enemies.
|Gnawty<br>Necky<br>Zinger<br>[[Krash]]
|None
|-
|align="center"|[[File:Blackout Basement SNES.png]]<br>'''[[Blackout Basement]]'''**
|The second and last factory level of the game. The level, as the name suggests, takes place in a lower part of a factory with electrical problems. As a result, the lights flicker on and off repeatedly, and when the lights are off, the level goes completely black, hiding everything except the Kongs.
|Kritter<br>Klump<br>Klaptrap<br>Manky Kong
|None
|-
|align="center"|[[File:DKC-BossDumbDrum.png]]<br>'''Boss level: [[Boss Dumb Drum]]'''
