'''Kremkoins''' are large golden [[coin]]s found in the games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''.

Pages 46-49.</ref><ref>''Nintendo Magazine System'' (AU) Issue #51. Pages 50-53 and 61.</ref> is a large golden [[coin]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' that is rewarded for completing a [[Bonus Area]]. In both games, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong]] are required to collect every Kremkoin. Every level has usually two or three Kremkoins, depending on the number of Bonus Areas in that level, and a Kremkoin is also rewarded for defeating a world boss the first time. If Diddy and Dixie redo an already completed Bonus Area, the Kremkoin is shown with a check mark over it, and collecting it does not count toward the total. Additionally, completing a boss level again will not cause a Kremkoin to appear.


In ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', two to three Kremkoins are found in every level. In order to obtain a Kremkoin, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must find a [[Bonus Barrel]] and beat the challenge in the barrel. Once the challenge is beaten, a Kremkoin will be awarded to them; a Kremkoin can also be obtained by defeating a game boss. Kremkoins are needed to pay off the Kremling [[Klubba]]; once Klubba is paid fifteen Kremkoins, he will allow the [[Kong]]s entrance to a portion of the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]. There are seventy-five Kremkoins in the game.
In ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', there are 75 Kremkoins in total. The [[Kong]]s must pay 15 Kremkoins to [[Klubba]] at each of [[Klubba's Kiosk|his kiosk]]s to allow them to enter a specific [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]] level from that world. The Lost World levels, unlike regular levels, have only one Bonus Area, which reward a [[DK Coin]] instead of a Kremkoin. Likewise, the Kongs are rewarded a DK Coin for completing [[Krocodile Kore]]. There is a cheat in [[Pirate Panic (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)#Trivia|Pirate Panic]] that allows the Kongs to obtain all 75 Kremkoins at once.


In ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', Kremkoins serve the same purpose as in ''Donkey Kong Country 2''; they are needed to pay for access to the Lost World. In this game, there are only forty-seven Kremkoins, and they all have to be given to Klubba at once to enter the Lost World.
In ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', there are only 47 Kremkoins to obtain, and rather than pay for each Lost World level, the Kongs pay every Kremkoin at once to unlock the Lost World entirely.


In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', Kremkoins are replaced with [[Bonus Coin]]s.

==Trivia==
==Profiles and statistics==
*In the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]], there are Bonus Barrels, but when beaten, these Bonus Barrels yield [[DK Coin]]s instead of a Kremkoin. Because of this, there are no Kremkoins to be found in the Lost World.
===''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''===
**Likewise, the player is given a DK Coin instead of a Kremkoin for clearing [[Krocodile Kore]].
*'''Wii U Virtual Console manual bio:''' "''If you collect these coins hidden in each bonus level, you can use them to cross the toll bridge to the Lost World.''"
*To obtain all 75 Kremkoins without going to bonus levels, go to K. Rool's cabin in the first level in Gangplank Galleon, leave, jump over the first two bananas, get the bunch on top of the barrels with a Klomp walking on them, go back to K. Rools cabin, get the extra life, leave the second time and repeat until there is a Kremkoin that's worth 75 Kremkoins.
*Kremkoins are more than likely the official currency of the [[Kremling Krew]].

Kremkoin

A Kremkoin, also spelled Krem Coin,[1][2][3] is a large golden coin in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2 that is rewarded for completing a Bonus Area. In both games, Diddy and Dixie Kong are required to collect every Kremkoin. Every level has usually two or three Kremkoins, depending on the number of Bonus Areas in that level, and a Kremkoin is also rewarded for defeating a world boss the first time. If Diddy and Dixie redo an already completed Bonus Area, the Kremkoin is shown with a check mark over it, and collecting it does not count toward the total. Additionally, completing a boss level again will not cause a Kremkoin to appear.

In Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, there are 75 Kremkoins in total. The Kongs must pay 15 Kremkoins to Klubba at each of his kiosks to allow them to enter a specific Lost World level from that world. The Lost World levels, unlike regular levels, have only one Bonus Area, which reward a DK Coin instead of a Kremkoin. Likewise, the Kongs are rewarded a DK Coin for completing Krocodile Kore. There is a cheat in Pirate Panic that allows the Kongs to obtain all 75 Kremkoins at once.

In Donkey Kong Land 2, there are only 47 Kremkoins to obtain, and rather than pay for each Lost World level, the Kongs pay every Kremkoin at once to unlock the Lost World entirely.

Kremkoins were replaced with Bonus Coins in Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and Donkey Kong Land III.
