- “The Kremling's crowning industrial achievements are the huge factories they built in Donkey Kong Country. These factories do not adhere to special saftey codes, and are full of burning oil drums, faulty lighting, and perilous platforms. Enter at your own risk.”
- —Donkey Kong Country Manual, Page 20
Kremkroc Industries, Inc. is a large, heavily-polluted industrial factory-like area near the Gorilla Glacier that first appeared in Donkey Kong Country. Built by the Kremling Krew under King K. Rool's orders[1], Kremkroc is made up of a few large buildings, a large polluted lake, several mines, and a robotic giant Oil Drum boss named Dumb Drum which was programmed to squish the Kongs.[2] Whether it is related to the much larger factory that appears in Donkey Kong Country Returns is unknown, although the latter features arrangements of the former's music. In the Donkey Kong Country TV show, the place appears as King K. Rool's lair which the Mines are connected to.
Levels
| Level | Description | Enemies | Animal Friends |
|---|---|---|---|
 Oil Drum Alley |
This level has metallic floors, yellow caution strips, flaming oil barrels, and Gnawtys. The level has the Kongs evade Oil Barrels, bounce on rubber tires, and use the TNT barrels located inside loose floor tiles to find Bonus Areas. | Gnawty Kritter Manky Kong |
Rambi |
 Trick Track Trek |
This level has a walkway theme and an elevator theme. After avoiding nuts thrown by a Necky at the start of the level, the lead Kong should proceed to the elevator platform. Once the leader sets foot on it, the platform automatically starts, though the speed and direction are unchangeable. In the first half of the level, Neckies appear to pester the Kongs, either flying at the elevator or spitting deadly nuts at them. After the continue barrel has been broken, Gnawties come to further annoy the Kongs, usually falling straight at them. | Necky Mini-Necky Gnawty Zinger Kritter Klump Klaptrap Manky Kong Krusha |
None |
 Elevator Antics |
Another cave/elevator level. This level first starts off as a regular cave level, with many Slippas and Zingers to spare; the level even features ropes. Later in the level, though, rising and falling elevators are found. | Slippa Mini-Necky Zinger Klump |
None |
 Poison Pond |
Poison Pond takes place in a polluted, green pond. Going to the left of the screen from where the level starts reveals a secret area which has the letter "K" and an animal crate with Enguarde inside. Many Mincers are found throughout the level, and often move in the Kong's path. Every water enemy, excluding Chomps, is featured in the level. | Bitesize Chomps Jr. Squidge |
Enguarde |
 Mine Cart Madness |
The fifth level of Kremkroc Industries Inc. and the second and final Mine Cart level of the game. Opposite of Mine Cart Carnage, the Kongs jump out of the cart to avoid dangerous obstacles, grab items, or pounce on enemies. | Gnawty Necky Zinger Krash |
None |
 Blackout Basement |
The second and last factory level of the game. The level, as the name suggests, takes place in a lower part of a factory with electrical problems. As a result, the lights flicker on and off repeatedly, and when the lights are off, the level goes completely black, hiding everything except the Kongs. | Kritter Klump Klaptrap Manky Kong |
None |
 Boss level: Boss Dumb Drum |
The Kongs battle the boss of the area here: Dumb Drum, a giant oil drum who spawns enemies. | Kritter Slippa Klaptrap Klump Army |
None |

- ^ "About Oil Drum Alley: Welcome to the wastelands. This area of the islans, once lush and overgrown with island greenery, has been stripped of all its natural beauty. Instead, smog clouds the air and there is a general lack of greenery. King K. Rool and his factories are to be held responsible for polluting the place. The levels of toxicity are high, so don't spend more time than you have to in this slimy area there are many Items hidden in the factories." - The Donkey Kong Country Player's Guide, page 88.
- ^ "About Dumb Drum: This major baddie is unlike any other enemy on the entire island. It's a mechanical (sort of) beast. A giant skull and crossbones is painted on its side. This is a warning and should not be taken lightly! Dumb Drum, while having no apparent funcional eyes, can sense where you are in its lair and will try to oust you by landing on your head. Don't let Dumb Drum get the best of you! Your bananas are much too important." - The Donkey Kong Country Player's Guide, page 104.
