- “Good work, but we have to get off this rust bucket before it crashes.”
- —Cranky Kong,Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)
The Flying Krock (referred to as theKrockship in the GBA version's Sound Player) is the finalworld in bothDonkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest andDonkey Kong Land 2, not including theLost World. It is an enormous, crocodile-shapedquadcopter whereKaptain K. Rool holdsDonkey Kong as a hostage, after completingStronghold Showdown, when Donkey Kong is pulled up from there and into The Flying Krock. From theCrocodile Isle map, a ladder drops from the airship, and Kaptain K. Rool is seen climbing up into The Flying Krock.
In theGame Boy Advance version, each pair of blades is replaced by a turbine. The Flying Krock also appears in the opening cutscene, where Kaptain K. Rool and theKremling Krew take Donkey Kong after kidnapping him. Because of this, Donkey Kong is in The Flying Krock for the duration of the adventure, and he no longer appears in Stronghold Showdown. Additionally, the Flying Krock itself is directly above K. Rool's Keep, rather than in front of it, and the ladder goes straight up. TheKong Kollege is now on the top tower of the Keep, instead of inside the bramble patch, likeFunky's Flights II. In the ending, after finishing The Flying Krock, a cutscene shows the ship crashing, but all the Kongs manage to escape on time.

Notes[edit]
- InDonkey Kong 64, K. Rool had aKremling craft that resembles a smaller version of The Flying Krock. Two other airships called theK. Kruizer III and theKing Kruizer IV appear inDK: King of Swing andDK: Jungle Climber, respectively.
- A preliminary sketch of Crocodile Isle depicts the Flying Krock as a simple blimp in the shape of a cartoonish crocodilian head. It also refers to it as being a sky-themed world, suggesting it was planned to feature more levels.
