Kremlantis[1] is a large, semi-submerged island and the second area ventured through in the game Donkey Kong Land. The name Kremlantis is a portmanteau of Kremling and Atlantis, a legendary and ancient sunken city.

The small portion of Kremlantis that is above the surface of the water is rather small and bleak, a stark contrast to what the Kongs find below. The submerged portion of Kremlantis consists of a large series of ruins and temples constructed in a labyrinth-like manner. Along with the various temples on Kremlantis, other notable features include a statue depicting the Giant Clam and expansive fields of seaweed.

Due to the fact that the area is completely underwater, aquatic enemies, such as Chomps, Fangfish, and Nemoes are found in large abundance in Kremlantis. The boss of Kremlantis is found in the eastern quadrant of Kremlantis.

According to the Nintendo Magazine System, this complex was the home of King K. Rool's ancestors.[2]

“You're not in Kansas anymore, Diddy! Ride the Swirlwinds in legendary Kremlantis and mix up those nasty Zingers and Kritters. It's a twister, Aunty Em! A twister!”

“Rock hewn and rock solid is Kremlantis, ancient home of K. Rool's masterfull predecessors. Slight worse off for water than the good ship Gangplank, seeking as the entire kingdom is submerged! The majority of Kremlantis' wards have survived through being trapped in air pockets, though mutant winds roam freely about so beware! Of course it's inevitable that some areas are flooded by ice-water too, and it is here that DK and Diddy encounter the worst of their fears...”
