==Overview==
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], like other bosses, [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]] must pay ten [[Banana Coin]]s to [[Swanky Kong]] in order to rematch Krow at his location. After defeating Krow, the Kongs are rewarded with two blue [[Extra Life Balloon]]s.
The battle takes place on one of the ship's masts, with the top of a sail serving as a floor. Krow's Nest sits on top of the mast, with two [[Banana Coin|Banana Bunch Coins]] above it.


Krow attacks by grabbing eggs out of his nest and dropping them. They will bounce a few times while slowly moving in the direction of the Kongs before stopping; they can also be stopped manually by jumping on them. Once the egg stops, Krow will charge at the Kongs. They can damage him by picking up the eggs and hitting him with them. After taking two hits, Krow will slam into the mast, causing eggs to fly out of the nest one by one. While most of the eggs simply fall offscreen, some of them will land on the sail, allowing the Kongs to pick them up and attack Krow again. The eggs will shatter if not picked up quickly. After four hits, Krow goes down, rewarding the Kongs with a [[Kremkoin]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] version, his spirit can be seen leaving his body, foreshadowing the battle with [[Kreepy Krow|Krow's ghost]] in [[Gloomy Gulch]].
Krow's Nest was originally supposed to take place during the storm, right after [[Topsail Trouble (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Topsail Trouble]], which takes place during the storm.{{ref needed}} However, in the final version, it is set in a windy setting like [[Mainbrace Mayhem (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Mainbrace Mayhem]].

Eventually, after a second hit, Krow begins to attack by ramming his head into his nest, causing a few eggs to fall from the nest individually while spinning. One of the eggs eventually lands on the ground, allowing Diddy or Dixie to use it. If the Kongs do not pick up the egg on time or hit Krow with the egg, the process repeats. After taking a fourth hit, Krow is defeated, the Kongs rewarded with a [[Kremkoin]], and the next world, [[Crocodile Cauldron]], is unlocked.

Krow's Nest is the boss level of Gangplank Galleon, the first world of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The Kongs must face Krow in order to reach the second world, Crocodile Cauldron. Krow's Nest is a pun on crow's nest, the lookout post of a ship, and similarly, Krow's Nest is the one of Gangplank Galleon.

In the Game Boy Advance version, like other bosses, Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong must pay ten Banana Coins to Swanky Kong in order to rematch Krow at his location. After defeating Krow, the Kongs are rewarded with two blue Extra Life Balloons.

Krow's Nest was originally supposed to take place during the storm, right after Topsail Trouble, which takes place during the storm.[citation needed] However, in the final version, it is set in a windy setting like Mainbrace Mayhem.

Krow's Nest in the Game Boy Advance version

Krow's Nest takes place at a mast on the peak of Gangplank Galleon, with the top of a sail acting as a floor. There are two Banana Coins hiding above his nest, and the Kongs can reach it by performing team up.

The battle starts with Krow taking out an egg from his nest and dropping it on the ground; the egg slowly bounces in the direction of Diddy and Dixie, going lower with each bounce, until it stops moving. When the egg stops moving, either from being hit or by having the Kongs jump onto it themselves, Krow charges at the Kongs. Diddy or Dixie have to pick up the egg and hit Krow with it. Eventually, after a second hit, Krow begins to attack by ramming his head into his nest, causing a few eggs to fall from the nest individually while spinning. One of the eggs eventually lands on the ground, allowing Diddy or Dixie to use it. If the Kongs do not pick up the egg on time or hit Krow with the egg, the process repeats. After taking a fourth hit, Krow is defeated, the Kongs rewarded with a Kremkoin, and the next world, Crocodile Cauldron, is unlocked.
