Gangplank Galleon

""Set sail on the finest Kremling vessel ever crafted! Just watch your head for those falling cannonballs... Where do they come from, anyway?""

Gangplank Galleon is a stage in Nexed, being based on the level of the same name from Donkey Kong Country and the world of the same name from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

History
The Gangplank Galleon first appears in Donkey Kong Country, being the final level in the game. The level hosts the final boss fight against King K. Rool. The ship then appears with a radically different appearance in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, now serving as the game's first world rather than a single level.

While various Kremling ships can be seen in various pieces of Donkey Kong media, the physical Gangplank Galleon is never mentioned by name outside of the first two Donkey Kong Country games and their Land counterparts (barring an appearance in the comic adaptation of Donkey Kong Country found in the Club Nintendo magazine, where it is simply referred to as "King K. Rool's ship").

Layout
Gangplank Galleon is set on an ocean on a sunny day, with Donkey Kong Island being visible in the background. The exterior of the ship takes inspiration from its appearance in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, while the interior takes inspiration from Donkey Kong Country.

The stage's layout is one hard platform containing several elevations, with a ramp leading up to one on the left and the bow of the ship serving as a platform on the right. In addition, a soft platform is present above the stage. All of this takes place on a body of water which extends through both of the horizontal blast zones. While the water can be swam in, making contact with the underbelly of the ship will cause a fighter to be spiked.
