Overview

Donkey Kong Country 2

The setting of the stage is on a ship's deck in the middle of the day which progresses to sunset near the end. This stage also features Rambi the Rhinoceros who aids Diddy and Dixie Kong after halfway through the stage. There are nineteen Neeks in the stage (including the three from a Bonus Room) eleven Klomps (including the four in the same Bonus Room) and two Klobbers.

Donkey Kong Land 2

Like its semi-sequel, this area takes place once more on a shipdeck. There is also eight Neeks, six Klomps and two Klobbers. As this stage is the very first stage in the game, it has a low amount of difficulty.
