History

Background information

This city was built by K. Rool's ancestors on an islet near Kong Island to serve as a refuge in moment which the pirate Snaps invaded the Crocodile Isle for ancient times. Abandoned because of the flood, that city became a natural habitat for many aquatic animals and of course the ancient temples that survived in the middle of the surface are still standing flooded.

Donkey Kong franchise

In Donkey Kong Land, the submerged civilization was explored by DK and Diddy as the second location from Cranky Kong's test. Here the pair explored the temples that are visible on surface, swam to the underwater ruins full of Flappers, dodged the mincers in underwater left by the Kremling Krew, dodged the baskets full of Slippas, grabbed a bomb to destroy the stone barrier on map, escaped the Nemos and jumped into Swirlwinds until they faced a giant Clambo.

Profiles

Donkey Kong Land

• Instruction booklet (page 14): This gigantic complex of ancient ruined temples is almost completely submerged. That means that there are planty of Chomps and other biting fish swimming about, waiting to take a piece out of the Kongs.
• Nintendo Power vol. 74 (page 11): You're not in Kansas anymore, Diddy! Ride the Swirlwinds in legendary Kremlantis and mix up those nasty Zingers and Kritters. It's a twister, Aunty Em! A twister!
• Nintendo Power vol. 74 (page 18): The ruins of legendary Kremlantis are rising from the sea! This partially submerged complex of ancient temples is teeming with hungry fish and Kremlings. Explore all of the regions and recover lost treasures!
• Nintendo Magazine System booklet (page 13): Rock hewn and rock solid is Kremlantis, ancient home of K. Rool's masterfull 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...
