The game events take place at the [[mariowiki:Northern Kremisphere|Northern Kremisphere]]. |

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *[[Krematoa]] is based off Krakatoa, a volcano near the Indonesian island of Rakata in the Sunda Strait. In addition, Boomer Bear, the Brother Bear of Krematoa, specializes in explosives, which spoofs the original Krakatoa's explosive nature.
| |
| *The [[Northern Kremisphere]] is derived from the Northern Hemisphere, which is the half of a planet's surface that is north of the equator.
| |
| *[[K. Rool]]'s submarine, the [[Knautilus]], is named after the Nautilus, Captain Nemo's submarine in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
| |
| *The world [[K3]] is based off the 12th highest mountain on Earth, K-3 (now known as Broad Peak).
| |
| *The Kremean War (that [[Bazooka]] Bear commonly talks about) plays on the name of the Crimean War.
| |
| *[[Bazaar]] Bear makes a Legend of Zelda reference if the player says "no" after asking "Who owns the castle?".
| |
| *Bazaar Bear was thought to be Banjo from the Banjo-Kazooie Series, but Rare denied the rumor.
| |
| *The two chairlift operating bears are known as Benny and Björn which is a reference to Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the music group ABBA.
| |
| *When [[Baron K. Roolenstein]] appears after the player defeats KAOS, he says, "I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids", a line quoted from Scooby-Doo.
| |
| *The level where the player faces [[Bleak]] is named [[Bleak's House]], a name pun of the Charles Dickens novel Bleak House.
| |
| *[[Skidda's Row]] is based on the band Skid Row.
