After the [[Kong]]s travel throughout the spooky Gloomy Gulch, they will go to Kreepy Krow's nest. Venturing onto this structure, the Kongs will encounter Kreepy Krow. He will send out a barrage of ghost Mini-Neckies to attack the Kongs, who must either attack or avoid these spectral birds, and jump on the live Mini-Necky deployed by Krow to summon a [[barrel]] from the sky. Like the previous battle with Krow, the Kongs can hit Kreepy Krow with the barrel to attack him, causing him to advance higher into his spooky nest.

After [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] defeat Krow in [[Gangplank Galleon]], his spirit leaves his body and flies off (which is only shown in the [[Game Boy Advance]]). Later on their journey, the [[Kong]]s find Kreepy Krow on another crow's nest in Gloomy Gulch. The battle takes place on three different floors. On the first floor, Kreepy Krow sends three ghost [[Mini-Necky|Mini-Neckies]] and a regular one to charge at the Kongs. Jumping on the normal one somehow spawns a [[Barrel]]. When this happens, Kreepy Krow flaps in a set pattern, attempting to injure the Kongs. They must quickly throw the Barrel to attack Kreepy Krow, and he then flies upward.


After this, a hook will drop nearby, and the Kongs must use these hook to climb ropes in order to reach the higher area where Kreepy Krow is located. He will then begin to throw eggs at the Kongs to try to attack them. The Kongs must dodge the eggs and jump in a barrel nearby to reach the deceased bird. Again, he will send a barrage of ghostly Mini-Neckies at the Kongs, along with another living Mini-Necky. The Kongs must once again jump on the living Mini-Necky to summon a barrel. This allows them to attack Kreepy Krow again, causing him to fly upwards even further.
While the Kongs climb to the next floor, Kreepy Krow drops large [[egg]]s at them. They must avoid the eggs to find Kreepy Krow on the next floor. Unlike last time, Kreepy Krow summons five ghost Mini-Neckies and a normal one, all of whom swoop faster. The Kongs must jump on the live Mini-Necky again and toss the spawned Barrel at Kreepy Krow. He flaps upward again, and then drops eggs while the Kongs climb on the rope but at a faster rate.


Hooks will then appear to allow the Kongs to climb the rope. The eggs Kreepy Krow sends down will this time become quicker than usual and the Kongs must evade the eggs quicker to jump into a barrel in order to reach the top of Kreepy Krow's exceedingly tall nest.  When the Kongs reach Kreepy Krow for the third time, it will send a barrage of Mini-Neckies quickly, and making them more numerous, so the Kongs must evade or defeat the ghost Mini-Neckies quickly until the final living Mini-Necky comes out, on which the Kongs must jump on to summon a barrel. Then, the Kongs must hit Kreepy Krow with the barrel for a third time to defeat Krow for a second time, and for good.  
On the third floor, the Kongs must avoid seven ghost Mini-Neckies and jump on another regular one. They all swoop a rate even quicker than the previous two floors. The Kongs can jump on the third Mini-Necky and throw the Barrel at Kreepy Krow to defeat him and earn his [[Kremkoin]].


For the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] version of the game, Kreepy Krow does not appear as a member of the "[[Barnacled Bosses]]" group. However, in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, he does appear as a member. This version also adds a scene where Kreepy Krow can be seen rising from Krow's dead body after his defeat in Krow's Nest.

Kreepy Krow reprises his role as the boss of Gloomy Gulch in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. In this game, he looks identical to his mortal self. Krow first attacks the Kongs by sending a barrage of Neckies like the psuedo-sequel, but instead of the Kongs having to jump on the alive Mini-Necky to summon a barrel, they have to dodge the Mini-Neckies to summon an egg as a weapon instead of a barrel in the pseudo-sequel. After the first hit, Krow repeats his same attack, but flies upwards, preparing to move on to the top of its nest, instead of doing three floors in the pseudo sequel, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Diddy and Dixie must repeat these steps to summon an egg so they can heave it at Krow who then flies up to the next and top level of his new nest. Diddy and Dixie, must then jump on two hooks to advance to the ropes where Krow attempts to throw eggs at the Kongs. When the Kongs reach a Barrel Cannon, they get shot up to the top of Krow's new nest and this time, Krow does the same attacks, but quicker. The Kongs must avoid the Mini-Neckies quicker to summon an egg, but this time, it temporarily bounces in the air and Krow tries to attack the Kongs by swooping at them. When the egg stops bouncing, the Kongs must heave it at Krow again to attack it. The Kongs must then repeat this step to gain the second Kremkoin that Krow holds captive and the Kongs can then move on to K. Rool's Keep.  
Kreepy Krow resumes his role as Gloomy Gulch's boss in ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', it is not evident that Kreepy Krow is undead because him and Krow share the same sprites. This is most likely because the [[Game Boy]]'s palette is limited to a few colors.  
 
At the start of the boss battle, Kreepy Krow sends four [[Mini-Necky]]s (it is unknown where they are alive or undead). Unlike the previous game, [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] are not required to defeat any of the Mini-Neckys because an egg, instead of a Barrel, falls on the stage after each one is dodged. The active Kong must throw it at Kreepy Krow. The pattern repeats a second time. After being hit again, Kreepy Krow flies upward, and drops eggs at the active Kong while they climb up.
 
On the second floor, Kreepy Krow sends four more Mini-Neckies to attack the active Kong. Unlike last time, the egg briefly bounces after falling down. The Kongs must throw the egg at Kreepy Krow. Like on the lower floor, this cycle repeats again. After the fourth hit, Kreepy Krow is defeated, and the Kongs earn his relinquished [[Kremkoin]].

“Jump on the different colored Mini-Neckys to gain the necessary objects to fight the ghost of Krow.”
Wrinkly Kong, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest

Kreepy Krow is the undead ghost form of Krow, after his death in Krow's Nest. Kreepy Krow is the boss of Gloomy Gulch in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest and Donkey Kong Land 2, where he appears in his eponymous boss stage.

History

Boss battle against Kreepy Krow.

After Diddy and Dixie defeat Krow in Gangplank Galleon, his spirit leaves his body and flies off (which is only shown in the Game Boy Advance). Later on their journey, the Kongs find Kreepy Krow on another crow's nest in Gloomy Gulch. The battle takes place on three different floors. On the first floor, Kreepy Krow sends three ghost Mini-Neckies and a regular one to charge at the Kongs. Jumping on the normal one somehow spawns a Barrel. When this happens, Kreepy Krow flaps in a set pattern, attempting to injure the Kongs. They must quickly throw the Barrel to attack Kreepy Krow, and he then flies upward.

While the Kongs climb to the next floor, Kreepy Krow drops large eggs at them. They must avoid the eggs to find Kreepy Krow on the next floor. Unlike last time, Kreepy Krow summons five ghost Mini-Neckies and a normal one, all of whom swoop faster. The Kongs must jump on the live Mini-Necky again and toss the spawned Barrel at Kreepy Krow. He flaps upward again, and then drops eggs while the Kongs climb on the rope but at a faster rate.

On the third floor, the Kongs must avoid seven ghost Mini-Neckies and jump on another regular one. They all swoop a rate even quicker than the previous two floors. The Kongs can jump on the third Mini-Necky and throw the Barrel at Kreepy Krow to defeat him and earn his Kremkoin.

Kreepy Krow does not appear as a member of the "Barnacled Bosses" group. However, in the Game Boy Advance version, he does appear as one.

Kreepy Krow's reappearance in Donkey Kong Land 2.

Kreepy Krow resumes his role as Gloomy Gulch's boss in Donkey Kong Land 2. Unlike Donkey Kong Country 2, it is not evident that Kreepy Krow is undead because him and Krow share the same sprites. This is most likely because the Game Boy's palette is limited to a few colors.

At the start of the boss battle, Kreepy Krow sends four Mini-Neckys (it is unknown where they are alive or undead). Unlike the previous game, Diddy and Dixie are not required to defeat any of the Mini-Neckys because an egg, instead of a Barrel, falls on the stage after each one is dodged. The active Kong must throw it at Kreepy Krow. The pattern repeats a second time. After being hit again, Kreepy Krow flies upward, and drops eggs at the active Kong while they climb up.

On the second floor, Kreepy Krow sends four more Mini-Neckies to attack the active Kong. Unlike last time, the egg briefly bounces after falling down. The Kongs must throw the egg at Kreepy Krow. Like on the lower floor, this cycle repeats again. After the fourth hit, Kreepy Krow is defeated, and the Kongs earn his relinquished Kremkoin.
