"'''''KREMLANTIS''' Rock hewn and rock solid is Kremlantis, ancient home of K. Rool's masterful 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...''"</ref><ref>{{media link|Like of Adrian Smith in Twitter (12, 25, 2023).png|''Adrian Smith'''s like on Twitter (December 25, 2023)}}</ref> But in his origins, heK.
