'''Stronghold Showdown''' is the last level of [[K. Rool's Keep]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It is a straight path with no enemies, though the first visit gives the [[Kong]]s a free [[Kremkoin]], alongside the typical hidden pair of [[Banana Coin]]s in each boss level. The first visit briefly shows [[Donkey Kong]], tied up in rope in the middle of the room, before he is taken to [[King K. Rool]]'s [[The Flying Krock|airship]], to [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]] and [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]]'s shock. The duo then chases him to the Flying Krock, the last world of the game. In the original ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' and ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', this level can be used as a free trip out of the world without paying [[Funky's Flights II]] to get out. When revisited, it plays the "Krook's March" music, like the castle levels.
