'''The Flying Krock''' is the name of the gunship used by [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Kaptain K. Rool]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It is also the name of the final area of the game where [[Donkey Kong]] is held captive by the [[Kremling Krew]]. The Flying Krock resembles a giant mechanical crocodile-shaped helicopter.

'''The Flying Krock''' (referred to as the '''Krockship''' in the GBA version's Sound Player) is the final [[world]] in both ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', not including the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]. It is an enormous, crocodile-shaped {{wp|quadcopter}} where [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Kaptain K. Rool]] holds [[Donkey Kong]] as a hostage, after completing [[Stronghold Showdown]], when Donkey Kong is pulled up from there and into The Flying Krock. From the [[Crocodile Isle]] map, a ladder drops from the airship, and Kaptain K. Rool is seen climbing up into The Flying Krock.


In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, a short cutscene at the beginning of a new game shows Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew using The Flying Krock to kidnap Donkey Kong and flying away to the top of [[Crocodile Isle]]. [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] later find out that Donkey Kong was missing and they go on their own journey to save Donkey Kong from the Kremling Krew.
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game 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 the [[Kremling 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. The [[Kong Kollege]] is now on the top tower of the Keep, instead of inside the bramble patch, like [[Funky'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.
==Levels==
In both ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', The Flying Krock has only one level and a boss level, making the shortest in both games, and completing the first level unlocks the world's [[Kong Kollege]], [[Funky's Flights II]], or the final battle against Kaptain K. Rool:

Squawks and Screech fly throughout the level. After Squawks wins, Diddy and Dixie go to ''K. Rool Duel'' where they battle against Kaptain K. Rool as the name implies.

K. Rool Duel is the boss level of this world. When the Kongs enter the boss level for the first time, they see Kaptain K. Rool in the process of torturing Donkey Kong with his blunderbuss, before engaging the tyrannical crocodile in a battle. The [[Kong]]s at first seemed outmatched by K. Rool's super enhanced blunderbuss but eventually managed to defeat him and sent him flying into the swampy waters of his island.

==Trivia==
*In the Game Boy Advance remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', the Flying Krock itself was on the left side rather than the right and the bridge was gone (probably because this game featured the banana peel trails a la the original ''Donkey Kong Country''.)
*In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', K. Rool had [[K. Rool's airship (Donkey Kong 64)|an airship]] that resembles a smaller version of The Flying Krock. Two other airships called the [[K. Kruizer III]] and the [[King Kruizer IV]] appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK: Jungle Climber]]'', respectively.
*In ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', K. Rool had the [[King Kruiser II]], an airship that resembles a smaller version of The Flying Krock. Two other airships called the [[K. Kruizer III]] and the [[King Kruiser IV]] appear in ''[[DK: King of Swing]]'' and ''[[DK Jungle Climber]]'', respectively.
*[[Media:Crocodile Isle Concept.jpg|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.
*A large SNES controller can be seen in the background of the battle against K. Rool.

Template:Quote2 The Flying Krock (referred to as the Krockship in the GBA version's Sound Player) is the final world in both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, not including the Lost World. It is an enormous, crocodile-shaped quadcopter where Kaptain K. Rool holds Donkey Kong as a hostage, after completing Stronghold Showdown, when Donkey Kong is pulled up from there and into The Flying Krock. From the Crocodile Isle map, a ladder drops from the airship, and Kaptain K. Rool is seen climbing up into The Flying Krock.

In the Game 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 the Kremling 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. The Kong Kollege is now on the top tower of the Keep, instead of inside the bramble patch, like Funky'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.

Levels

In both Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, The Flying Krock has only one level and a boss level, making the shortest in both games, and completing the first level unlocks the world's Kong Kollege, Funky's Flights II, or the final battle against Kaptain K. Rool:
