Editing Crocodile Cauldron

}}

{{quote2|Visitors venturing onto [[Crocodile Isle]] receive a warm reception from the bubbling [[lava]] of Crocodile Cauldron. The key to these levels is to avoid getting burned in the ever-present red-hot lava. Fortunately, there are many different ways to keep your feet cool: [[Krockhead|crocodile heads]] provide safe stepping stones in [[Hot-Head Hop|one area]], and [[Hot Air Balloon|hot-air balloons]] will give you a ride in [[Red-Hot Ride|another]].|''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' instruction booklet, page 20}}  

'''Crocodile Cauldron''' is the volcanic mountain range of [[Crocodile Isle]] and the second world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. There are several rivers of [[lava]], large pitfalls, and a prominent {{wp|stratovolcano}} at the top. The world appears to be encased in a cave carved in the shape of a giant [[Kremling]] skull, which has glowing, red eyes, and steam coming out from the nostrils. Aside from volcanic areas, Crocodile Cauldron features a few mine shafts, from which the [[Kremling Krew]] would excavate gems and minerals.<ref>[https://archive.org/details/donkey-kong-country-2-der-offizielle-nintendo-spieleberater-1/page/n43/mode/2up ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' German player's guide], page 44</ref> According to the [[Nintendo Power|Player's Guide]], the lava pools from Crocodile Cauldron are the [[Kremling]]s' source of heat and power in Crocodile Isle.<ref>M. Arakawa. ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' Player's Guide. Page 20.</ref> There is also a large, broken galleon partly submerged in the lava. Water also seems to flow through Crocodile Cauldron, or there is at least a large deposit of it underground, as the ship remains are flooded with it. Three levels take place at a volcanic area (one of which is the boss battle), two levels take place in mine shafts, and one level takes place in the broken galleon.

In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Crocodile Cauldron does not appear as a standalone world, although it was combined with [[Krem Quay]] to form the world [[Krem Cauldron]] instead.
