- Not to be confused with Gangplank Galley.
Gangplank Galleon (also spelled Gang-Plank Galleon) is the name of King K. Rool's ship, which first appears in the game Donkey Kong Country. In Donkey Kong Country the Gangplank Galleon is only visible from the overworld map, but after Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong make their way through the Chimp Caverns area they gain access to the ship. Going onboard they encounter and fight the demented Kremling ruler King K. Rool. After a long fight, K. Rool is defeated and Donkey Kong's coveted banana hoard is returned to him. In this game, it is simply depicted as around the size of a real galleon, while in later games it is depicted as far larger since it's a set of stages.
In Donkey Kong Country's Game Boy sequel, Donkey Kong Land, the Gangplank Galleon, called Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!, is the game's first area. In this game, the Gangplank Galleon is docked on the coast of Donkey Kong Island, along with traveling through the ship itself, Donkey Kong and Diddy must travel on the terrain around it as well. Instead of King K. Rool, a large Flotsam, conjecturally named Wild Sting, is the boss of the Gangplank Galleon.
Later, in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and its pseudo-port Donkey Kong Land 2, Diddy and Dixie Kong venture to Crocodile Isle in order to rescue a kidnapped Donkey Kong. The first the Kongs travel through are the remains of the Gangplank Galleon, which had become beached on the rocky shore of the island. Diddy and Dixie have to venture through the ship's remains to reach the area's guardian, Krow, who fittingly resides in the ship's crow's nest. The Gangplank Galleon is much larger in this game, having five levels, while in the previous game it was only large enough for the fight with K. Rool. After defeating the giant bird the Kongs venture to the nearby Crocodile Cauldron. At the end of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest the Gangplank Galleon sinks to the bottom of the ocean, along with the rest of Crocodile Isle.
What is presumably the remains of the Gangplank Galleon appear in the Donkey Kong 64 stage: Gloomy Galleon.
The Gangplank Galleon stage itself does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but a remix of its theme song, however, does. It can be heard at Rumble Falls and one of the stages of the Subspace Emissary.
