'''Stronghold Showdown''' is a simple level in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''. It is a straight path with no enemies. However, in the middle of the level, [[Donkey Kong]] appears with metal chains tied around him. He is taken to [[King K. Rool]]'s helicopter. [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] then chase him to the next world, 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 level without paying [[Funky's Flights II]] to get out.
'''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 inside a castle with no enemies.

By continuing forward, the Kongs find [[Donkey Kong]] tied up in the middle of the room.

Kerozene attacks [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] with weakened [[Kleever]]s and a fire breath attack. In the first round, Diddy and Dixie must simply throw [[Cannonball|kannonball]]s at the Kleevers.

Kerozene will breathe fire in three different directions. His gigantic fists sometimes smash against the ground, stunning them momentarily. For his final attack, Kerozene shoots a fireball that sets the ground on fire. One Kong must grab the kannonball, jump on his hands before the ground bursts into flame, and throw it at his head to defeat him. After his defeat, he will fall with smoke coming from his mouth.

In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', the level is different. Instead the level now takes place on a castle-top where the new boss [[Kerozene]] is fought.
