THE PLOT: Some time after Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong is relaxing on the beach when he is ambushed by the Kremlings. He is kidnapped and taken to Captain K. Rool, who demands a ransom from the Kongs for the Banana Treasure he unsuccessfully tried to steal. Diddy Kong and his girlfriend Dixie decide to go to the Kremlings' home island, Crocodile Isle, to rescue Donkey Kong. They travel through Crocodile Isle and are helped by various animals to defeat Captain K. Rool. [15] Diddy and Dixie finally fight and defeat K. Rool, freeing Donkey Kong in the process. K. Rool manages to escape and, shortly after, Diddy and Dixie confront him in the Lost World, a secret area powered by a geyser in the heart of Crocodile Isle. They defeat K. Rool once again, who is thrown into the geyser, causing it to clog and explode. The explosion causes the entire Crocodile Isle to sink, while the Kongs watch K. Rool escape in a small sailboat. #retrogaming #nintendo #donkeykong #snes #donkeykongcountry #donkeykongcountry2 #rare #rareware
