|
| In 2005, a [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of the game was released for [[Game Boy Advance]], and in 2007/2008, the original version was ported to the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]]. On November 25, 2012, for reasons unknown, ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' and its predecessors were delisted from the Wii Virtual Console,<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20151206044400/http://gimmegimmegames.com/2012/11/nintendo-removing-all-donkey-kong-country-games-from-virtual-console|title=Nintendo removing all Donkey Kong Country games from Virtual Console|author=Femmel, Kevin|date=November 16, 2012|publisher=Gimme Gimme Games|accessdate=June 5, 2024|language=en}}</ref> but on October 30, 2014, the games were relisted in Europe and Australia. Around the same time, the games were released for the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Europe and Australia, in Japan on November 26, 2014, and in the United States and Canada on February 26, 2015. For handhelds, ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' was ported exclusively to the [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in May/June 2016. It was made available on [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on December 18, 2020.
| | A remake of the game was released for the Game Boy Advance on November 7, 2005 with new features, most noticablly six new stages and an all-new soundtrack, which was often criticised by fans of the original SNES version. |
|
| |
|
| A similar game was released for the [[Game Boy]] in [[List of games by date#1997|1997]], ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', and it has the same characters and settings.

| [[File:DKC3 Diddy's letter.jpg|thumb|left|The letter written by Diddy, as shown from the instruction booklet]] | |
| Months after the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', the [[Kong]]s were back at [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Island]], still celebrating their victory over the [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]] and the [[Kremling]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] often slung up a hammock, played some music, and drank banana milkshakes while soaking up the sun. Dixie often joined alongside them.
| |
|
| |
|
| One morning, Dixie found that Diddy was not in his room. This surprised her as it was unusual for Diddy to be up so early. She found a note on a table that read:
| | [[Kremwood Forest]]- Boss: [[Arich]] the Spider |
| :''Dear Dixie, Gone exploring the islands with DK, Back tomorrow! --Diddy'' | |
|
| |
|
| Dixie recalled a few other times where Donkey Kong and Diddy had the same plan, and every time the two Kongs would never travel farther than the beach. Dixie went to look for them at the beach, soon realizing that it was too quiet for them to be nearby. As the sun set, Dixie went to bed. The next morning, Dixie checked Diddy's place and found that he had still not returned. She began worrying over what trouble that Donkey Kong and Diddy got into. The entire day passed and the Kongs still did not return. The third morning, Donkey Kong and Diddy had still not returned, so Dixie went to the southern shores of DK Island and swam to the nearest mainland at the [[Northern Kremisphere]], looking for them.
| | [[Cotton Top Cove]]- Boss: [[Squirt]] the Slug |
|
| |
|
| Dixie briefly visits [[Wrinkly Kong]], who confirmed that she saw Donkey Kong and Diddy pass, but Wrinkly did not know where they went. She suggested that Donkey Kong and Diddy visited [[Funky's Rentals]]. As Dixie leaves, Wrinkly asks her to search for [[Banana Bird]]s along the way.
| | [[Mekanos]]- Boss: [[KAOS]] |
|
| |
|
| When Dixie visits Funky, he is busy working on an invention, making use of the various unusual items in the shop. Funky explains to Dixie that Kiddy was the only visitor that he had all week. He points across to Kiddy, who is chewing on an old spare tire. Dixie agrees to take Kiddy along with her, and they leave. Funky tells them to look out for any random items which he can make use of, and he also tells them to visit the [[Brothers Bear]] for help.{{footnote|main|1}}
| | [[K3]]- Boss: [[Bleak]] the Snowman |
|
| |
|
| As they travel through the worlds, Dixie and Kiddy encounter different [[Kremling]]s than before. At the end of [[Mekanos]], the Kongs first encounter [[KAOS]], who was believed to be the new leader of the [[Kremling Krew]] at the time. Later during their adventure, Dixie and Kiddy encounter KAOS again at [[Kastle Kaos]], which is at the end of [[Kaos Kore]]. During the battle, it is revealed that KAOS was a puppet of [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] all along. After defeating Baron K. Roolenstein, KAOS breaks down and releases Donkey Kong and Diddy. It is revealed that they were trapped to be used as a power source.

| The Kongs eventually discover the lost world, [[Krematoa]], where they meet the local Brother Bear, [[Boomer (Donkey Kong Country 3)|Boomer]]. Dixie and Kiddy must recover the five [[Cog (Donkey Kong Country 3)|cog]]s found in each level of Krematoa and return them to [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter]]. Boomer inserts them on a machine, which causes the [[Knautilus]] to rise from the center lake. Dixie and Kiddy enter it and engage in a second boss fight against Baron K. Roolenstein. The Kongs defeat him again, but Baron K. Roolenstein manages to escape again.

|
| |
|
| After acquiring every [[DK Coin]], the Kongs return to Funky's Rentals, and he builds the [[Gyrocopter]] for them. With the Gyrocopter, the Kongs can access the remaining few [[secret cave]]s to the last of the Banana Birds. After freeing every Banana Bird, they carry the Kongs up in the sky to the [[Banana Queen]]. All of the Banana Birds sing to destroy the [[evil barrier]] that imprisoned the Banana Queen. Dixie and Kiddy's adventure ends with the Banana Queen pursuing after Baron K. Roolenstein and dropping a large eggshell on him.

| ==Gameplay==
| | [[Pacifica]] (GBA version only)- Boss: [[Barbos]] the Sea Lurchin |
| [[File:Squeals Wheels DKC3 shot 4.png|thumb|left|Dixie runs on a rolling barrel.]] | |
| ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' combines elements from both ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. As a platformer, the objective is for the two playable characters, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], to reach the end of every [[level]]. Each world has either five or six levels and a boss level at the end. The boss level must be completed to unlock the next world.
| |
|
| |
|
| The game retains the tag-team system, where two Kongs appear on-screen and follow each other through a level at the same time. Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong are the playable characters, and the Kong in front is the one controlled by the player. If the lead Kong is hit by an enemy or a hazard, they run away, and the player takes control of the other Kong. If the only Kong in play is also hit, they lose an [[extra life]] and are returned to the world map, where they can re-enter the level. If a Kong is missing, they can be recovered from a [[DK Barrel]], a few of which appear in every level. The player can press the {{button|snes|Select}} button to switch between Kongs.
| | [[Category: Donkey Kong Games]] |
| | |
| Some basic moves shared between Dixie and Kiddy include swimming, [[jump]]ing, and climbing. The Kongs can jump to defeat enemies or to go over small gaps. Both vertical and horizontal [[rope]]s are the objects that the Kongs can climb. Dixie and Kiddy cannot perform either move while swimming. Most enemies can also be defeated if the Kongs roll into them. The Kongs can perform a slightly longer jump by rolling off a ledge and jumping in the air.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Doorstop Dash DKC3 shot 4.png|thumb|Dixie about to throw Kiddy into a [[Bonus Barrel]].]]
| |
| Both Dixie and Kiddy have unique abilities which only they can use. Dixie can use her [[Helicopter Spin]] to glide in midair until hitting the ground. She can also use the move on the ground to spin into enemies. Kiddy is slower, stronger, and heavier than Dixie. Kiddy can perform a roll instead of spin. Kiddy holds a barrel in front unlike Dixie, who carries a barrel over her head. By doing so, Kiddy can protect himself from an enemy, which gets defeat upon hitting into the barrel. Kiddy can throw barrels farther than Dixie. In some of the levels, Kiddy can perform a [[Water Skip]] to bounce on the water surface, often needed for reaching higher areas.
| |
| | |
| A few of the moves involve both Kongs. The [[team up]] move involves Dixie or Kiddy carrying the other Kong on their shoulders, whom they can throw at another enemy or area. The team up works differently depending on which Kong is held. Dixie cannot move fast by carrying Kiddy due to his weight. She can throw Kiddy at a crack in the ground to break it open, allowing them to enter a small area. Dixie can throw Kiddy to a wall and ride onto him to perform a [[Roll Attack]] involving both Kongs. Kiddy can carry Dixie around with ease. He can throw Dixie farther, although she is not heavy enough to break parts of the ground. If Kiddy throws Dixie to a higher platform, both Kongs can move up to there.
| |
| | |
| The game features greatly expanded map gameplay compared to the previous and following ''Donkey Kong Country'' installments. Unlike previous games where the world maps consisted entirely of linear paths, ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' allows players to freely move while piloting their vehicle on the overworld or in water section of the world maps. This feature allows players to go off the intended path and explore sections of the map to reveal hidden [[Secret cave]]s. The player's original vehicle, the [[Motor Boat]] can initially only access a limited portion of the overworld but as the player progress and defeat bosses, they will collect items that will upgrade the boat and allow it to reach further sections of the map. The game also features a greater amount of sidequests. The [[Northern Kremisphere]] is inhabited by the [[Brothers Bear]], who usually challenge the Kongs to bring them an object or complete some task. Completing the Brothers Bear's errands will reward the Kongs with hints on the game's secrets and items necessary for 103% [[Completion]].

| ==Characters==
| |
| Most of the characters and enemies in the game are shown under [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]], which appears in the end credits after the Kongs complete Kastle Kaos.

| |Squirt is a large, rocky slug who lives on a waterfall at the end of Cotton-Top Cove. The Kongs are transformed into Ellie during the entire battle. Squirt attacks by spitting water at Ellie to try to knock her off the stage. Ellie can attack Squirt by sucking water from the waterfall and spitting it into Squirt's eyes. If this is done enough times, Squirt is defeated.

| |
| |KAOS is fought in a factory at the end of Mekanos. He attacks by exhausting flames to scorch the Kongs. Eventually, KAOS stops and spins blades around him. Dixie and Kiddy can use them as platforms to jump up them and onto KAOS's head. KAOS punches out his robotic arms to try and stop them from reaching his head. After enough hits, KAOS's head floats off his body, and he fights against the Kongs separately. Meanwhile, his head tries to blast the Kongs with a quick laser.

| |Bleak appears in the snowy mountain, K3, and his battle consists of a snowball fight. His method of attacking is popping up in random areas and throwing snowballs at the Kongs. Later during the battle, Bleak uses his hat to blast giant snowballs out at the Kongs. The Kongs can attack Bleak by throwing snowballs at his amulet.

| |The game's final boss, Baron K. Roolenstein, is first fought in Kastle Kaos shortly after the Kongs defeat KAOS. Baron K. Roolenstein uses his jetpack to fly around and uses blasts of electricity to attack the Kongs. Dixie and Kiddy must pull a lever on the ceiling to make a barrel appear. They must then throw the barrel at Baron K. Roolenstein's jetpack to attack him. Baron K. Roolenstein is fought again at Krematoa, where he uses a fireball launching cannon and bolts of electricity to attack the Kongs.

| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Banana Bunch]]es
| |
| |Banana Bunches are similar to normal bananas, however, they are worth ten bananas instead of one and are uncommon. Because of this, collecting the bunches can allow the Kongs to get extra lives much faster.

| |Extra-Life Balloons are important items in the game. When collected, they give the Kongs extra lives. There are three color variations: red, green, and blue. The [[Red Balloon]]s give the Kongs one extra life, while the uncommon [[Green Balloon]]s give them two. The rare [[Blue Balloon]]s give them three extra lives.

Each of them are guarded by [[Koin]]s (except for the Knautilus DK Coin), whom the Kongs must defeat to get the coin. With all the coins, Funky Kong can make a Gyrocopter to take the Kongs to the [[Banana Queen]].

| ===Trade items===
| |
| The game features several items that must be traded between the Brothers Bear in order for the Kongs to collect all of the [[Banana Bird]]s. They are required to trade if the Kongs want to complete their adventure completely. Note that some items are earned from defeating bosses and do not need to be traded with the bears. Below shows the items and descriptions on them, as well as what the Kongs should do with the objects.

| |
| |The most common barrels of the game, these can be used to defeat enemies and sometimes find hidden Bonus Areas. They can be picked up by Ellie and Quawks, who can then roll them on the ground to hit some enemies. Ellie can also suck the barrels in towards her if the player presses Y.

| |style="text-align:center"|[[File:DK Barrel.png]]
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[DK Barrel]]
| |
| |These common barrels returning from the first two games help revive a Kong who has been injured. There are at least two in each level, although some later levels have even more. They are often found at the very beginning of levels and right after the Star Barrel.

| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]]
| |
| |Steel Barrels previously appeared in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Unlike the regular barrels, Steel Barrels do not break if they hit a wall. The Kongs can ride a Steel Barrel if they jump on one as it is rolling. Steel Barrels are required to defeat Koins.

| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[TNT Barrel]]
| |
| |TNT Barrels are similar to normal barrels, however, they are explosive. If they are thrown into a sensitive wall, they can blast it away, creating an opening. They can also defeat powerful enemies like red Buzzes, Bazukas, and Kuff 'n' Klout.

| |
| |-
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[File:Bonus Barrel.png]]
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Bonus Barrel]]
| |
| |Two or three of these special barrels appear in every level, except for [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], sending the Kongs to [[Bonus Level]]s. They are usually well hidden or hard to reach, due to the fact that their reward is so big. The Kongs also break out of these barrels once they exit the bonus.
| |
| |-
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[File:Ghost Barrel.png]]
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Boo Barrel]]
| |
| |These barrels are similar to the arrowed Barrel Cannons, except that they disappear and reappear at various occasions. Sometimes, they appear in different positions, so if the Kongs jump in them at the wrong time, they can be shot into an enemy. These barrels only appear in the level [[Creepy Caverns]].
| |
| |-
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[File:Booster Barrel.png]]

It can be controlled by maneuvering left and right. As the Kongs use the exhaust, it depletes fuel and it can be replenished by Fuel Drums. Depletion occurs quicker if the Kongs make contact with the walls. The Kongs can then get out of the Rocket Barrel after they have landed on a landing platform.
| |
| |-
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[File:TrackerBarrel.png]]
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Tracker Barrel]]
| |
| |This uncommon barrel appears in only one level, [[Tracker Barrel Trek]]. In this level, the Kongs must use the barrels to traverse the falls. Luckily, the barrels follow the Kongs' movements to ensure that they cannot fall. The only danger of these barrels is that they often lead to Buzzes.
| |
| |-
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[File:WarpBarrelSprite-DKC3.png]]
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Warp Barrel]]
| |
| |These uncommon, invisible barrels hide in every level in the first two worlds. They can warp the Kongs to the end of some levels. All, but two require a team throw to reach, and most of them require Kiddy to throw Dixie. The ones in [[Springin' Spiders]] and [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]] can be reached by both Kiddy and Dixie.

| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Invincibility Barrel]]

| |-
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[File:Star Barrel.png]]
| |
| |style="text-align:center"|[[Star Barrel]]
| |
| |These barrels return from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, doing exactly as before. They appear at the middle of every level, and when hit, sparkle, signaling that a checkpoint has been activated. If both Kongs are lost, or they fall into a pit, the Kongs are returned to the Star Barrel.

| |style="text-align:center"|[[Switch Barrel]]
| |
| |These rare barrels only appear in three levels: [[Blazing Bazukas]], [[Criss Kross Cliffs]], and [[Koindozer Klamber]]. They must be touched to change the type of barrel that the Bazukas fire. Usually, it turns TNT Barrels into normal barrels, although it sometimes turns into Steel Barrels or TNT Barrels instead, which are needed to defeat Koins and red Buzzes.

| *'''TUFST''' – All the [[Star Barrel]]s are removed. If entered before starting a new file, almost all the DK Barrels will additionally be removed; the effects will be permanent to that file. If entered before starting an existing file, the effect only lasts until the game is reset. If the game is fully beaten with this code activated from the start, the player will have a score of 105% instead of the standard 103%.

| [[File:DKC3 Creepy Cavern Knocka ACI Bug Results.png|thumb|The top image shows the glitch in action, while the bottom three images shows the results of the glitch, including a game corruption after a restart.]]
| |
| '''Note:''' This glitch only occurs in the SNES, [[Wii U]], and [[Nintendo Switch Online]] versions. It was fixed in the Game Boy Advance version.
| |
| | |
| This glitch can be done in [[Creepy Caverns]]. To activate this glitch, the player needs to get to the point in the level where [[Koin]] is and knock him out then they need to continue onward until the find a Knocka behind two Red [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]]es. Jump down with the Knocka following, then jump on him and carry the Knocka back using Kiddy until a small ditch can be seen next to a Red Buzz and the [[Boo Barrel]] next to it. Once the Knocka is dropped into this ditch, it will begin to behave erratically, instantly going back inside of its barrel when it hits the wall on the right in the ditch due to the limited space for the enemy. The player can further interact with this glitched Knocka with the steel keg nearby, which can cause additional glitches, such as arbitrarily jumping to the game's credits or irregularity/anti-piracy screens if the Knocka's limbs touches the steel keg, or cause sprites to disappear due to the Knocka being continously hit by the steel keg.

One would argue that it's slightly worse than DKC2, but it is still very much worthy of your attention.''"

| |
| |align="left"|"''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble holds up very well as a great SNES side-scrolling platformer adventure, even 11 years after its original release. And while its predecessor, Diddy's Kong Quest, is likely a better game overall, DKC3 probably holds more value as a [[Virtual Console]] download for the large amount of Nintendo fans who early-adopted with the [[Nintendo 64|N64]] and therefore missed this final installment in the Country trilogy in its first mid-'90s appearance. If you enjoyed the first two Donkey Kong Country games and never got around to this one, confidently put down 800 [[Virtual Console#Wii Points|Wii Points]] and give it a download. If you're completely new to the DKC series, start with either the original or DKC2 and see what you think there. Then, if you like what you see, come back here and then confidently put down 800 Wii Points to give DKC3 a download. It's a game that deserves to now be noticed, where once it was overlooked.''"

| ===Sales===
| |
| ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' had fewer sales than the previous two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games because it was released at the end of the Super Nintendo's lifespan, and the Nintendo 64 was released the same year. The game was positively received although the soundtrack received a mixed reception.<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/20060418080923/http://www.gamespot.com/gba/action/donkeykongcountry3/review.html|author=Provo, Frank|date=November 14, 2005|publisher=GameSpot|language=en-us|accessdate=June 5, 2024|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3''}}</ref>

| ==Nintendo eShop description==
| |
| <blockquote>''Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have gone missing! As Dixie Kong checks in with the rest of the family, she gets stuck with babysitting duties! But that won't stop her from going on her next adventure!
| |
| | |
| ''Play as Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong solo, against a friend, or with a friend! Take advantage of each of their unique abilities as they throw each other into action in over 40 levels. There are plenty of collectibles—including Bear Coins, which grant access to the services of the Brothers Bear, and Banana Birds, which Wrinkly Kong has a deep fondness for.
| |
| | |
| ''You can also call on Funky Kong to build some wild vehicles for you to try to get to places that seem far out of reach. Not to mention there are animal friends to fight at your side! The final showdown takes place in a cliff-top laboratory at the End of the World.
| |

| ''Things could get seriously ugly, so you'd better be ready!</blockquote>

| ==Trivia==
| |
| *This is the only ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' game not to have a Time Attack mode in any version, despite Riverside Race being the only time attack level of the original ''Donkey Kong Country'' trilogy.
| |
| *After defeating KAOS for the first time, Dixie and Kiddy use pipes as a short-cut to leave [[Mekanos]], similar to the way pipes are used in the ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' series.
| |
| *Even though the [[extra life|lives]] counter stops at 99, players can collect more than 99 lives. The counter remains at 99 until the player has fewer than 99 lives. This carries over from [[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|the previous game]].
| |
| *By pressing {{button|snes|X}} while in a [[Motor Boat]], [[Hover Craft]], or [[Turbo Ski]], the Kongs will honk the vehicle's horn. By holding {{button|snes|X}} and then pressing {{button|snes|R}} and {{button|snes|L}}, the vehicle's honk will honk out a different tune. The Motor Boat honks out "La Cucaracha", the Hover Craft honks out "[[Gangplank Galleon]]", and the Turbo Ski honks out the theme of "{{wp|Hawaii Five-O (1968 TV series)|Hawaii Five-O}}".
| |
| *''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' received two manga based around it: one in the series ''[[4koma Gag Battle]]'', and the other in the series ''[[4koma Manga Kingdom]]''.
