'''''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''''' (known as '''''Super Donkey Kong 3: Nazo no Krems Shima''''' in Japan) is the third game for the popular ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' game series, ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. It is the sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. It also has a semi-sequel for the [[Game Boy]], ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', as well another sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', for the [[Nintendo Wii]]. The game stars [[Dixie Kong]] and her little cousin, [[Kiddy Kong]], as they travel through the numerous lands of the [[Northern Kremisphere]] in order to rescue [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] from the [[Kremling Krew]] and their new leader, [[KAOS]].

A remake of the game was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 7, 2005 with new features, most noticeably six new stages and an all-new soundtrack designed for the Game Boy Advance sound system. Also, on December 24, 2007, the game was released on the [[Virtual Console]] for the Wii in North America. On December 25, it was released in Europe and Australia.

==Storyline==
Months after the defeat of the Kremling Krew, the Kongs are still celebrating. Both [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], with [[Dixie Kong]] occasionally joining them, often sit around the beach on hammocks with banana shakes. One day, however, Dixie Kong, surprisingly finds Diddy's room deserted. Knowing that is wasn't normal for him to be gone so early, she notices a note from Diddy on the table. After reading the note, she learns that the two had gone to the islands to explore. Dixie searches for them, expecting them to be no farther than the beach.

Searching all day, Dixie does not find the two Kongs, thinking that she had just followed one of their schemes. Hoping that they were having fun, she goes to sleep, but only wakes up to find that Diddy is still missing. Dixie begins to worry as days pass without her seeing a trace of the two apes. Knowing that she needs to do something, Dixie heads to [[Wrinkly Kong]]. She suggests that the monkeys are with [[Funky Kong]] at his beach shop. After Wrinkly teaches Dixie about [[Banana Bird]]s, the young ape heads out to find Funky's Rentals. At the rental shop, Dixie meets Funky, who explains that he has not had any customers other than Kiddy Kong. Dixie decides to bring Kiddy along with her, as she goes on a search for the missing Kongs. Funky allows them to use his [[Motor Boat]], which they use to search for Donkey and Diddy Kong.

[[File:LakeOranga.png|thumb|left|The Kongs about to fight [[Belcha]].]]
The monkeys use their new boat to travel a short way off the ocean to a small lake called [[Lake Orangatanga]]. Here, they travel through many levels, in mills, by the lakeside, and in the snowy peaks. The Kongs also meet [[Barnacle]] (or [[Bachelor]] in the Game Boy Advance version) on a small island in the middle. If the Kongs search, they can even find the rare Smuggler's Cove, where a precious [[Banana Bird]] lies. At the most southeastern point of the lake, the monkeys find Belcha, a giant barrel who resides in a large, oblong-shaped barn. Once defeated, a cannon shoots the apes out of Belcha's Barn and sends them to the next area.

After defeating Belcha, Dixie and Kiddy enter a dark forest known as the [[Kremwood Forest]]. Through here, they travel through several levels in the trees, mills, and riversides. The monkeys gain a banana bird when they beat Brash's record in [[Riverside Race]]. At the edge of the forest, the apes encounters a giant spider named [[Arich]] in his hollow hole in a tree. With the help of Barrels, the monkeys soon defeat Arich, leaving the Kongs with a [[patch]]. The monkeys then head over to Funky Kong to see if the patch can be made of any good use.

After giving the patch to Funky, he fixes up a [[Hover Craft]] for the apes to use. The Hover Craft allows to heroes to ride over rocks, thus allowing them to travel farther into the Northern Kremisphere. The duo makes their way into [[Cotton-Top Cove]] with the new vehicle. In the cove,  the heroes meet the Brothers Bear, [[Blue]], who is depressed because nobody had come to his birthday party. However, the apes are unable to cheer him up at the time and continue, where they head through a few lakes and waterfalls. They also travel across a lake shore, which is infested with [[Klasp]]s. Eventually, rocks blocking the way behind a waterfall sink into the water, and the two apes are able to meet the new boss, [[Squirt]]. Once he is defeated, the heroes obtain a ski, although it doesn't have any use to Funky Kong. 

Still searching for Donkey and Diddy, the monkeys head to a small, polluted island known as [[Mekanos]]. They travel through many factories in this area, as well as some pipelines. They even head up a tree that is being chopped down. The duo also meets [[Bazooka]] for the first time here. The bear, if given ammunition, shoot the apes to a Banana Bird Cave. Eventually, the monkeys make it to a small building, where they meet KAOS, the supposed leader of the Kremlings. After they beat the robot, they find another ski, but not Donkey or Diddy. With both skis in hand, they head to Funky Kong, who uses the items to build a [[Turbo Ski]]. The new vehicle allows Dixie and Kiddy to travel over waterfalls.

[[File:K-3.gif|thumb|170px|K3, one of the areas the Kongs explore.]]
The Kongs soon arrive in [[K3]] on their search for the missing apes. After they climb to the top of this snow-capped mountain, they face harsh snow storms, and even have to travel through a waterfall. After traveling through a dangerous factory, they find the bear, [[Blizzard]], in a small basecamp covered in snow. Helping him out, they deliver a present from him to another Brothers Bear, Blue, and then head over to the one of the highest parts of the mountain, where they meet the evil snowman, [[Bleak]]. Even after defeating him, however, the apes do not find Donkey or Diddy Kong, so they head on to new areas.

They arrive next at [[Razor Ridge]], a mountainous area filled with many caverns. After passing through one of its caves with the help of [[Quawks the Parrot]], the apes meet Benny, who lets them use his chairlift to progress. On the other side of Razor Ridge, the two monkeys meet [[Björn]], the brother of Benny who also runs a chairlift. Although his lifts are broken, he can fix them if he is given a wrench. The lifts help the heroes reach a Banana Bird Cave. Heading on, Dixie and Kiddy climb more of the dangerous mountains, and then cross a dark lake. After going through the final cavern and climb a little higher, they find a lake with the overgrown [[Lurchin]], [[Barbos]] (or [[Kroctopus]] in the Game Boy Advance remake). Like Bleak, however, she does not have Donkey or Diddy, so the two monkeys head over to the last accessible area, [[Pacifica]].

When the apes first enter this world, they encounter a pipeline, which they travel through. At the other end of the pipeline, they meet Barnacle, who gives them a Banana Bird if they give him a certain shell. Heading on, the monkeys head over the lake shore and travel through a series of sunken spruce trees find get back on land. After going through a mountainous part of the world, they make their way into a bigger lake than before, where they surpass the rough underwater currents. They soon go through another set of pipes, and then come up to Barbos, a giant Lurchin. With help from Enguarde, the apes defeat this foe, although they still do not find even a trace Donkey or Diddy Kong. However, after the three areas are complete, the way into a new area, known as [[KAOS Kore]], opens. 

The apes ride to the area in their fast Turbo Ski, where they find a large castle on the hilltop. Traveling through jungles, caverns, and riversides full of enemies, they soon make it to the hilltop. Before they can get into the castle, though, they go through a [[Poisonous Pipeline|poisonous pipeline]]. The gases in the pipeline make it harder to progress, but luckily, the monkeys eventually make it to the castle doors and enter the building. There, they meet KAOS again, and the two sides fight. After apes soon destroy the robot once and for all, but right after, a curtain nearby opens, revealing [[Baron K. Roolenstein]]. The Kremling becomes angered on how the apes ruined his robot, and the fight with the Kongs continues. The Kremling leader is eventually bested, and Donkey and Diddy are finally revealed. It is learned that their energy had been used to power KAOS all along. Even with the two apes rescued however, the monkeys' adventure is still not over.

After riding around the series of rocks around Mekanos, a hidden world, known as [[Krematoa]] rises out of the ocean. When the apes enter this area, they encounter more levels to explore. However, many of the levels are blocked off by large rocks, so the apes pay [[Boomer (Bear)|Boomer]] with their hard-earned [[Bonus Coin]]s to destroy them. As the monkeys go through each of the jungle, mountain, cave, and tree levels in the world, they find several [[cog]]s, which they return to Boomer to power up one of his machines. Once all of the cogs are placed in the device, the submarine, [[Knautilus]], rises in the lake in the center of Krematoa. The apes swim to this submarine, only to find Baron K. Roolenstein again. After they fight this enemy, the Kremling leader flees, and the apes are awarded with a DK Coin. 

[[File:BananaBirdQueen.png|thumb|170px|left|The Kongs meet the Banana Bird Queen.]]
The DK Coin given to them becomes part of their collection of coins. After they earn all of the coins, they head over to Funky Kong, who decides to make a new vehicle for them with the DK Coins. The apes allow him to do so, and he creates a [[Gyrocopter]]. As they apes explore the area in this helicopter, they come up to the [[Banana Bird Queen]], who had been imprisoned by Baron K. Roolenstein. The queen, trapped, asks the heroes to hunt for each of her children, the Banana Birds, who are the only way to break the [[Banana Bird Barrier]]s. They Kongs do so and soon head to Wrinkly, where the birds are kept. When they arrive, the birds pick up the two monkeys and lift them up to the Banana Bird Queen's location. With the birds finally united, the queen is freed from her barrier. In exchange for helping her, the Banana Bird Queen chases Baron K. Roolenstein out of the Northern Kremisphere once and for all.

==Kong Abilities==
[[File:BarrelRides65.png|thumb|left|Dixie runs on a rolling barrel.]]
The object of the game is to reach the end of every level, however, this cannot be done without the apes using some of their trademark abilities. The two Kongs, Kiddy and Dixie, both have different special abilities, although their basic abilities are mostly the same. Both apes are able to swim, [[jump]], climb, and move. They can use their jumping abilities to defeat enemies or cross gaps, and also use their climbing abilities to maneuver on the game's various ropes. When swimming, however, neither of these moves can be used. Another way to attack on land besides jumping is rolling. The attack can knock foes off of the stage easily, although some enemies, such as Bristles, are almost completely immune to this attack. Additionally, if the apes are to roll off of a ledge and jump in mid air, they preform a super-jump. The duo is also able to balance on moving [[Steel Keg]]s, which ram into foes are they ride on it.

[[File:ImageDKC365.png|thumb|Kiddy protecting himself from a [[Krimp]] with a barrel.]]
As stated before, both apes have different special abilities. The most notable ability, used by Dixie Kong, is the [[Helicopter Twirl]], which Kiddy Kong is unable to perform. This move allows Dixie to propel through the air until she hits the ground. Although Kiddy doesn't have this move, his strength makes up for the loss. He can throw barrels much faster than Dixie, as well as defeat foes that his partner cannot defeat alone. Another advantage Kiddy has is how he holds objects such as barrels. While Dixie holds objects over her head, Kiddy Kong holds them in front of his body, protecting himself. Therefore, if an enemy is to hit into him as he holds an object, it is likely that the attack won't hurt him at all, and it defeats the foe instead. Although not used too often in the game, Kiddy can also jump on water a few times while rolling. This can help the heroes reach high areas atop the water.

[[File:Image2DKC365.png|left|thumb|Dixie about to throw Kiddy into a [[Bonus Barrel]].]]
There are also some moves that both Kongs are needed to use, such as the [[Team-up]] move. When using this move, one monkey picks up the other and puts them on his or her shoulders. Then, they can throw that monkey into enemies or into high areas. Because of Kiddy's weight, Dixie is hardly able to hold the large ape. As a result, she cannot throw him too far. However, if she throws him upwards and lets him fall onto the ground, the toddler can break through the ground and finds hidden items. When Kiddy teams up with Dixie and carries her, he is able to easily maneuver around, as he is quite strong. He can also throw her much farther, although she cannot break through the ground. Additionally, when both Kongs are around, Dixie can throw Kiddy into a wall, causing the toddler to bounce back. When this happens, she can jump on him as if he were a Steel Keg and ram into most enemies.

==Special Areas==
''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' is filled with with various special areas, where the heroes can meet the other Kongs and [[Brothers Bear]]s around the island to help out.

[[Image:BananaBirdCave.png|thumb|Inside a Banana Bird Cave.]]
*'''[[Banana Bird Cave]]s:''' Each of these caves contain a Banana Bird. However, the only way to get the bird is to hit a series of crystals in the right order.
*'''Brothers Bear Cabins:''' There are several cabins in the game, one for each of the Brothers Bears. In them, the apes can talk to the bears and help them complete a trade to earn [[Banana Bird]]s.
*'''[[Funky's Rentals]]:''' This is where the apes can rent vehicles made by [[Funky Kong]] to travel through the Northern Kremisphere. He allows them to use his [[Motor Boat]] at the beginning of the game, but after the apes gather up special items for him, he is able to make a [[Hover Craft]], a [[Turbo Ski]], and a [[Gyrocopter]] for them to ride in. In the Game Boy Advance remake of the game, Funky hosts Bonus Games with some of those vehicles. If they are all completed, a Banana Bird is earned.
*'''[[Cranky's Dojo]]:''' Exclusive to the Game Boy Advance remake, Cranky's Dojo replaces [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]] from the original version of the game. The heroes can meet [[Cranky Kong]] here and play a special Bonus Game for a Banana Bird at the price of only two Bear Coins. The game involves moving Cranky Kong so that he can block the incoming Spinies.
*'''[[Swanky's Dash]]:''' Another area exclusive to the Game Boy Advance remake. It replaces [[Swanky's Sideshow]] from the original game. At Swanky's Dash, Dixie Kong can play a Bonus Game for a few Bear Coins, where she must run through a pipeline, avoiding obstacles and trying to collect a certain number of stars. If the Bonus Game is completed, the apes earn some special collectibles.
*'''[[Swanky's Sideshow]]:''' This is where the monkeys can play another special Bonus Game, exclusively found in the Super Nintendo version of the game. For only a few Bear Coins, the apes can face Cranky here in a ball tossing Bonus Game.
*'''[[Wrinkly's Save Cave]]:''' This area, only found in the original version of the game, is where the Kongs' game can be saved. One appears in each word, as well as in the overworld. Wrinkly is always found here, and she is either exercising, playing her [[Nintendo 64]], or sleeping.
*'''[[Wrinkly's Retreat]]:''' This area is located just before Funky's Rentals. It is where Wrinkly resides throughout the game. The Kongs' Banana Birds are kept here.

==Animal Buddies==
As with every ''Donkey Kong Country'' game, [[Animal Buddy|Animal Buddies]] appear to help out the monkeys. Several old friends return in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', such as Enguarde, Squawks, and Squitter, and several new ones appear, such as Ellie and Parry. Each buddy helps the apes in a different way, but are only found in certain levels. Below shows the game's Animal Buddies, along with their abilities and their first and last level appearances.

![[Ellie the Elephant]]
|Ellie the Elephant is a new Animal Buddy that replaces [[Rambi]] from the first two games. Ellie is not as strong as Rambi, but she can pick up and suck barrels towards her, which is a useful technique for defeating certain enemies. She can also suck up water from lakes and waterfalls to shoot at enemies. Unfortunately, she is afraid of Sneeks, and she runs away from them at first sight. Ellie is also used in the boss fight against [[Squirt]].

| align="center" |[[File:Nibbla65.png]]
![[Nibbla]]
|Although usually an enemy, Nibbla serves as an Animal Buddy through the level, [[Fish Food Frenzy]], and must follow the apes throughout the whole level. While it is helpful in some cases (eating enemies such as [[Koco]]s), it can also attack the heroes if not properly fed. Feeding it [[Lurchin]]s makes the fish more likely to attack the apes, and not feeding it at all can also make it attack them.

![[Parry the Parallel Bird]]
|Parry is a new non-playable Animal Buddy that is a big help to the Kongs, in terms of finding hidden objects. As his name suggests, he is always parallel to the Kongs and usually has enemies waiting for him. He can easily defeat [[Booty Bird]]s, but can be defeated by any other enemy, especially [[Buzz]]es. The Kongs go though many challenges to reach the buddy's [[No Animal Sign]], but if they do make it to the sign, the monkeys usually get a large reward, such as a blue Extra Life Balloon or [[Bonus Barrel]].

|-
| align="center" |[[File:Box65.gif]]
![[Animal Crate]]s
|Like in the prequels, these crates contain an [[Animal Buddy]]. The picture shown on the crate clues the player as to which Animal Buddy is in it. They are very similar to [[Animal Barrel]]s, although they do not actually turn the apes into the buddy.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:GreenB65.PNG]]
![[Green Banana]]s
|Green Bananas are important types of bananas only found in [[Bonus Level]]s. In some of these Bonus Levels, the apes have to collect fifteen Green Bananas in order to win a Bonus Coin. However, the bananas appear and disappear at random, making it tougher to grab the objects.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Star65.png]]
![[Star]]s
|Like Green Bananas, stars can only be found in Bonus Levels. In many bonuses, stars must be collected to earn the Bonus Coin. They are usually scattered around the special stages' obstacles.

===Brothers Bear Items===
The game features several items that must be traded between the Brothers Bears in order for the Kongs to collect all of the [[Banana Bird]]s. Although they are of no use to the apes, they are required to trade if the heroes want to complete their adventure 100%. Note that some items are earned from defeating bosses and do not need to be traded with the bears. Some items must also be traded differently in the Game Boy Advance version. Below shows the items and descriptions on them, as well as what the apes should do with the objects.

|The pair of skis are earned once both KAOS and [[Squirt]] are defeated. They must be given to Funky in order for him to make a Turbo Ski.
|Just as in the original game, the skis are obtained separately after defeating both Squirt and KAOS. If both are given to Funky, he can make a Turbo Ski.

=== Barrels ===
Various barrels appear throughout the game. They are the main objects in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, and they have many different purposes. Below is a list of each barrel and a brief description on them.

| align="center" |[[File:BarrelN65.gif]]
![[Barrel|Normal Barrel]]
|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 they roll them on the ground to hit some enemies. Ellie can also suck the barrels in towards her if the player presses Y.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:DKBarrel.gif]]
![[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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BonusBarrel65.gif]]
![[Bonus Barrel]]
|Two or three of these special barrels appear in every level, 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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:StarB65.gif]]
![[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 apes are returned to the Star Barrel.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:WarpBarrel65.gif]]
![[Warp Barrel]]
|These uncommon, invisible barrels hide in every level in the first two worlds. They can warp the heroes 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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:EllieBarrel.gif]]
![[Animal Barrel]]
|These common barrels return from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', and they have the exact same function. They transform the apes into the Animal Buddy pictured. The bottom left side of the screen should hold a picture of the Animal Buddy, signaling that the helper can take two hits before being defeated.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BarrelCannon65.gif]]
![[Blast Barrel]]
|These semi-common barrels are similar to Auto-Fire Barrels, but they only shoot the Kongs upwards, or forwards if the barrel is turned. They are often found in levels taking place by a waterfall and are commonly needed to jump over Buzzes.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SwitchBarrel.gif]]
![[Switch Barrel]]
|These rare barrels only appear in two levels, [[Blazing Bazukas]] and [[Criss Kross Cliffs]]. 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 Kegs or TNT Barrels instead, which are needed to defeat Koins and red Buzzes.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:IBarrel65.gif]]
![[! Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels temporarily give the Kongs invincibility. They are often found hidden in hard to reach places, but losing a Kong to grab one is often worth it. The monkeys can use the effects of the barrel to jump on red Buzzes, Kuff 'n' Klouts, and other invincible enemies.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:TrackerBarrel.gif]]
![[Tracker Barrel]]
|This uncommon barrel appears in only two levels, [[Tracker Barrel Trek]] and [[Barrel Drop Bounce]]. In these levels, the heroes 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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BoosterBarrel65.png]]
![[Booster Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels shoot out flames from the bottom, which send the Kongs upwards. Once the barrel reaches its highest point, it blasts them out. They commonly appear in levels near waterfalls, and are often seen as access to Bonus Areas.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SteelKeg.gif]]
![[Steel Keg]]
|This item first appears in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', but appears again in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. They are basically unbreakable barrels, capable of taking out many enemies in their path. The kegs are needed to defeat Koins.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Ghost Barrel.gif]]
![[Ghost 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 apes jump in them at the wrong time, they can be shot into an enemy.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:RocketBarrel.gif]]
![[Rocket Barrel]]
| These special barrels only appear in the level, [[Rocket Rush]], where the Kongs must use this barrel to fly up cliffs infested with [[Buzz]]es. 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 Barrels. 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.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Fuel Tank.gif]]
![[Fuel Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels refill the fuel tank for the Rocket Barrel in Rocket Rush. There are only a few in the whole game, but they can replenish a great amount of fuel for the rocket. 
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SomethingBarrel.gif]]
![[Ignition Barrel]]
|Only one of this barrel exclusively appears in this level, Rocket Rush. Once the Barrel Rocket hits this barrel, the Rocket Barrel ignites, causing the Kongs to soar upwards, and thus enabling them to finish this level.
|-

==List of Levels==
The game features many levels in which the heroes must travel through to complete the game. The apes have to get to the end of each level, excluding the secret levels in Krematoa, in order to meet Baron K. Roolenstein at Kastle KAOS and rescue [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Every level, excluding boss stages and Rocket Rush, have at least two or three Bonnus Levels in them, which are hidden throughout them. Note that the following table lists the levels in the original order on the SNES version of the game.

|This Brothers Bear lives on a small island in the center of Lake Orangatanga, where Barnacle had originally been in the Super Nintendo version. He wants a rose and a box of chocolates for his girlfriend, but needs the help of the Kongs to get them. After they help him out, Bachelor gives them a Banana Bird. Also, upon meeting him, the apes are given the Flupperius Petallus Pongus flower, which Bachelor has no use for.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Baffle65.PNG]]
![[Baffle]]
|This code-breaker resides in KAOS Kore. In order to solve one of his codes, the apes have to give him the mirror item, bought by Bazaar for fifty Bear Coins. If the monkeys find out what he is saying, they should learn about how to find KAOS Kore's Banana Bird Cave.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Barnacles!65.png]]
![[Barnacle]]
|Barnacle is a shell collector living residing in Pacifica (although he resides in Lake Orangatanga in the Super Nintendo verion). In exchange for a shell, Barnacle gives the apes his Banana Bird, which he is not very fond of anyway.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Barter65.PNG]]
![[Barter]]
|Barter is a Brothers Bear living in a swap shop near K3. The first time the heroes meet him, he appears to look ragged, but if the apes give him the mirror, his appearance slightly changes. In exchange for the mirror, Barter gives the monkeys a No. 6 Wrench to help fix Björn's chairlift.
|-

![[Benny]]
|Similar to his brother, Björn, Benny runs the chairlifts in Razor Ridge. He allows the apes to use his chairlifts at no charge to cross over to Kong-Fused Cliffs. Unlike most of the other bears, Benny does not need any assistance from the Kongs, nor does he hold a Banana Bird.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Bjorn65.PNG]]
![[Björn]]
|Björn, the brother of Benny, runs the second set of chairlifts in Razor Ridge. However, his are not working, so the apes have to offer their help to use them. If they give him the No. 6 Wrench from Barter, he can fix the chairlifts and help them reach a Banana Bird Cave.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Blizzard65.png]]
![[Blizzard (Bear)|Blizzard]]
|After being stuck in K3 due to the snowy weather, Blizzard is unable to reach Blue's birthday party. When the apes find him in the world, he gives them his gift to Blue for the heroes to deliver.

|Blunder can be found in a cabin to the west of the Kremwood Forest. Visiting him is completely optional, although if he is talked to, the monkeys are given the secret on how to find the lost world, Krematoa.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Boomer65.PNG]]
![[Boomer (Bear)|Boomer]]
|Boomer is found on the lost world of Krematoa. If the apes give him some of their hard-earned Bonus Coins, he blows up roadblocks blocking the pathways to secret levels. Cogs are found in these levels, and if they are all placed in one of his machines, the submarine, Knautilus, is revealed in the nearby lake.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Bramble65.png]]
![[Bramble (Bear)|Bramble]]
|Bramble is a Brothers Bear located near Cotton-Top Cove who is interested in plants, but not the machines in Mekanos. Once the machines are shut down on the nearby island and the apes complete Razor Ridge, a Flupperius Petallus Pongus appears near his cabin to pick. In exchange for the flower, he gives the heroes a Banana Bird. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the Flupperius Petallus Pongus is actually given to the apes by Bachelor, and if it is given to Bramble, he gives the Kongs a rose. 
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Brash65.png]]
![[Brash]]
|This bear is a jock in the Kremwood Forest who holds the record of completing Riverside Race in one minute and fifty seconds. Although he brags to the apes about his feat, the monkeys can beat his time in the level, causing the bear to become enraged. As a result of his tantrum, a log in the forest falls into the riverbank, creating a bridge to a Banana Bird Cave.

|These enemies, similar to [[Swoopy]]s, always move from one hole to another. They are located underwater, and are only found in one level in the Super Nintendo version of the game, Bazza's Blockade. They are also found in Sunken Spruce and Ripcurl Reef in the Game Boy Advance version.

| align="center" |[[File:BootyBirdSprite65.png]]
![[Booty Bird]]
|A round bird enemy that flies in the air during many levels. It attacks by simply flying around areas and trying to hit the Kongs. When defeated, they usually drop special items, such as Banana Bunches and K-O-N-G Letters. The heroes can defeat them by jumping on them or by hitting them with a barrel. Animal Buddies can also attack them.

![[Bounty Bass]]
|This foe is quite similar to Booty Birds, but only appears underwater. It swims back and fourth in the coral reefs and tries to hit the apes. When defeated, it drops items for the apes to grab, such a [[Bear Coin]]s. However, only Enguarde can defeat this plump enemy.

![[Bristles]]
|This spiky porcupine enemy can be found commonly in the game. Because of its spikes, it can not be defeated by a jump. Therefore, the only way to defeat it is by using a roll or a barrel attack to hit it. However, the apes must watch for his spikes while rolling into them, as it can still hurt them if they attack the foe's backside.

![[Buzz (species)|Buzz]]
|Buzzes are much like the [[Zinger]] foes from the previous installments in the series, but they appear to be more robotic. These very common foes move around areas, trying to hit the apes. If they are touched, one of the Kongs are damaged and run away, only to be found again in a DK Barrel. Buzzes come in both green and red variations. The green Buzzes can be defeated only by a barrel or by an attack from an Animal Buddy, while the red Buzzes can only be defeated by a TNT Barrel or an Invincibility Barrel.

![[Gleamin' Bream]]
|Gleamin' Breams are rare enemies that have a very similar appearance to Bounty Basses. They are plump, yellow, underwater foes that give off a beams of light around them. If Enguarde hits them, they do not flee, but instead light up the dark areas of Floodlit Fish. However, they only appear in the said level.

| align="center" |[[File:KarbineSprite65.png]]
![[Karbine]]
|Another uncommon enemy that only appears in Fire-Ball Frenzy. They use their cannons to shoot large fireballs at the heroes. They often follow the Kongs when they are in sight, and they also shoot in a certain pattern. This way, the apes can find out when they are going to shoot. Karbines are always attacking from the background, and therefore cannot be defeated.

| align="center" |[[File:KlaspSprite65.PNG]]
![[Klasp]]
|A similar enemy to [[TNT Knocka]]s, however, they are only found gripping onto long, horizontal ropes. They always try to move with the apes, and the monkeys have to climb fast if they want to escape being blown up by this explosive enemy.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:Knik-KnakSprite65.png]]
![[Knik-Knak]]
|These common enemies replace [[Flitter]]s and [[Click-Clack]]s from the previous game. They are red beetles that hurt the apes if hit on the side. Jumping on them, however, defeats them. They can often be used as stepping stones for the Kongs to reach higher areas. A rare, yellow variety also appears.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:KnockaSprite65.png]]
![[Knocka]]
|These green barrels are the replacements of [[Klobber]]s from the prequel. They do the same thing as the Klobbers: trying to knock the monkeys into the water or off a cliff. However, they cannot steal anything in this game when hitting the heroes.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:KobbleSprite65.png]]
![[Kobble]]
|A generic Kremling enemy that simply walks back and fourth through areas to attack. If the apes touch it at the side, they take damage, but if they jump on its head, they can easily defeat it. Any cartwheel attack or Animal Buddy attack can also defeat it. Kobbles are very similar to [[Kritter]]s and [[Klomp]]s from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games.
| align="center" |[[Lakeside Limbo]]
| align="center" |[[Kreeping Klasps]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KocoSprite65.png]]
![[Koco]]
|Kocos are the game's basic underwater enemies. Red and green variations of these foes appear; The green Kocos simply swim in place, serving as an obstacle for the Kongs, while the red kinds swim around, trying to hit them. They are very common underwater enemies, but can only be defeated by Enguarde the Swordfish or by the Nibbla buddy.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:KoinSprite65.png]]
![[Koin]]
|These are one of the most common enemies in the game. One appears in every level, and they are always seen guarding a DK Coin, unless the Kongs have already collected the item. They can only be defeated by Steel Kegs, and their shield can easily protect themselves from all attacks. The apes must bounce the barrel off of a wall and trick the Koin to defeat it.
| align="center" |[[Lakeside Limbo]]
| align="center" |[[Rocket Rush]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Koindozer.png|55px]]
![[Koindozer]]
|Koindozers are very similar to Koins, although they do not carry any DK Coins. Unlike Koins, they are not stationary; they chase after the apes with their shields, trying to knock them into gaps and other foes, much like Knockas. However, they can sometimes be used as a platform to reach higher areas. They only appear in Koindozer Klamber, one of the game's final levels.

| align="center" |[[File:KopterSprite65.png]]
![[Kopter]]
|These Kremling enemies are usually seen propelling around mountainous levels. They attack by spinning downwards with their blades, trying to hit the heroes. They wear green helmets, and therefore cannot be defeated with a jump. In fact, the apes have no way of defeating these uncommon enemies.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:KrimpSprite65.png]]
![[Krimp]]
|Similar to [[Klaptrap]]s and [[Klampon]]s from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, Krimps are common enemies in the game. They move back and forth through various areas and try to bite the Kongs. While their backside is vulnerable to cartwheel attacks, the apes cannot attack them from the front without getting injured. However, a jump can easily defeat them.

| align="center" |[[File:KrosshairSprite65.png]]
![[Krosshair]]
|This is a very rare enemy that only appears in one level, Krack Shot Kroc. During the level, it tries to target Squitter, the Animal Buddy being ridden on during the level. After it does so, it shoots a fireball at the spider, harming the buddy if he is hit. The Krosshair cannot be defeated, and because it cannot be defeat, the hero must deal with it until the end of the level, where a "No Krosshair" sign is present.

![[Krumple]]
|These muscular Kremlings replace [[Krusha]]s and [[Kruncha]]s from the first two games in the series. When touched on the sides, or on the head by Dixie, they push the apes out of the way, possibly hitting them into an obstacle. They can only be defeated by being jumped on by Kiddy Kong or by being hit by a barrel. Animal Buddies such as Ellie can also defeat them.

![[Kuff 'n' Klout]]
|Another muscular type of Kremling, the Kuff 'n' Klouts always appear with a partner Kuff 'n' Klout, and the two jump through the few levels they appear in. Sometimes, they also try to ram into the apes. They can be defeated by Squitter's webs, but otherwise, the Kongs have to dodge them, as they cannot be defeated in any other way.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:LemguinSprite65.png]]
![[Lemguin]]
|These penguin enemies are found in snow levels, where they slide down slopes on their bellies, trying to run into the monkeys. A jump or roll attack can easily defeat them, but if the heroes are hit by them without using an attack, they take damage. Lemguins only appear in Lemguin Lunge.

![[Minkey]]
|A monkey enemy that sticks its head out of the side of the inside part of trees. It attacks by throwing acorns at the apes, which must be avoided at all cost since the Minkies cannot be defeated. Sometimes, [[Barrel Shield]]s can block the acorns thrown by these foes.

![[Nibbla]]
|This underwater enemy, serving as an Animal Buddy in Fish Food Frenzy, is much like [[Snapjaw (fish)|Snapjaws]] and [[Lockjaw]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. They swim through the water under the apes, waiting to attack. If the heroes land in the same body of water that the Nibbla is in, the fish quickly attacks them. Nibblas cannot be defeated.

![[Re-Koil]]
|This species of Kremling bounces through areas, much like [[Kaboing]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. If the apes run into it, they are damaged, although a simple cartwheel or roll attack can easily defeat the foe. Jumping on the Re-Koil's head can also defeat it.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:SneekSprite65.png]]
![[Sneek]]
|These enemies are much like [[Neek]]s from the second game in the series. They simply walk back and fourth through areas and try to hit into the apes. Additionally, they must be defeated in Squeals on Wheels for the Kongs to progress. Ellie the Elephant is also afraid of these foes, and if she notices them, she quickly dashes away.

|Similar to Bazzas, these foes quickly swoop through the trees in tree levels to attack the apes. Sometimes, however, they crash into the sides of the trees and can be used as platforms to reach higher areas. Jumping on these foes can defeat them.

|This rare enemy can only be found in the Game Boy Advance remake of the game. It acts much like Knockas: jumping out of its barrel when the apes approach and chasing them. However, instead of simply pushing the apes, it explodes when touched, much like [[Kaboom]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. The explosion can easily damage a Kong.

| align="center" |[[File:BelchaBarrels.PNG|80px]]
![[Belcha]]
|This giant barrel resides inside an old barn at the end of [[Lake Orangatanga]]. He has a tendency to burp when full, hence his name. His way of attacking is spitting barrels out of his mouth. Inside these barrels are yellow Klik-Klacks, which must be thrown into the boss' mouth to make him burp himself into a pit. However, if this isn't done fast enough, the foe might push the apes into a pit first.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Arichsprite65.png|105px]]
![[Arich]]
|Arich is a large, red spider. He is fought at the end of [[Kremwood Forest]] in the level, Arich's Ambush. Arich hangs on a tread of web and he attacks by bouncing up and down and spitting venom at the Kongs. Only the barrels can defeat the colossus arachnid, as if thrown to the arachnid's jaw 4 times, he can fall.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Squirtsprite65.png]]
![[Squirt]]
|Squirt is a large, rocky slug who lives on a waterfall. He is found in the [[Cotton-Top Cove]] in the level, Squirt's Showdown. Squirt's attacks involve him spitting water at the pachyderm to knock her off the cliffs where the battle takes place. Ellie the elephant can rebound it by sucking water from the waterfall and blasting it into Squirt's eyes.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KAOSsprite65.png|70px]]
![[KAOS]]
|KAOS is fought in the island, [[Mekanos]]. He attacks by exhausting flames to scorch the apes. Eventually, his head floats off of his body, and it fights against the apes separately. It can blast them with a quick laser. Eventually, KAOS stops and spins blades around him to hurt the apes. However, they can use it to their benefit by jump on them and attacking the robot's head. However, robotic arms try to sweep them away as they try to do so. KAOS is fought a second time in [[Kastle KAOS]], with different tactics and moves. The Kongs must use barrels to defeat him, as he does not use his blades anymore. He reveals a new head during this battle, which uses bomb-launchers in its eye. He is still vulnerable to barrels, though.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BleakSnowmanThing.PNG]]
![[Bleak]]
|Bleak appears in the snowy mountain, [[K3]]. His method of attacking is popping up in random areas and throwing snowballs at the Kongs. He can also use his hat has a snow cannon, blasting snow boulders out of it later in the battle. The Kongs can defeat Bleak by throwing snowballs at Bleak's amulet.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BarbosBossSprite65.gif|75px]]
![[Barbos]]
|Barbos is a large Lurchin who resides in the area, Razor Ridge. However, she is fought in Pacifica in the Game Boy Advance version of the game. The Kongs must use Enguarde the Swordfish to defeat Barbos, as she is underwater in a red lake. She attacks by sending out Lurchins at Enguarde. Enguarde must smash the Lurchins into the spike balls of Barbos. Once Barbos's body is exposed as a result, Enguarde can smash her body. Barbos can also shoot out shell missiles, which Enguarde can lead to her to attack. After that, she sends spikes that Enguarde must avoid.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Krocsprite.png|135px]]
![[Kroctopus]] (Game Boy Advance version only)
|Kroctopus replaces Barbos in Razor Ridge in the Game Boy Advance version of the game. The Kongs cannot fight the submerged green creature; instead, they must lead the bombs Kroctopus sends out into the clawed tentacles. After being caught in the bombs several times, Kroctopus gets angrier and attacks faster; however, he can still be defeated the same way.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BaronKroolEinstein.PNG]]
![[Baron K. Roolenstein]]
|The game's final boss, Baron K. Roolenstein, is fought in [[Kastle KAOS]] just shortly after KAOS is dispatched by the Kongs. Baron K. Roolenstein uses jetpacks to fly around using blasts of electricity to attack the Kongs. The Kongs need to pull a pipe on the ceiling to make a barrel appear. The barrel can then be thrown at Baron K. Roolenstein's jetpack several times to defeat him. He can also be fought again at [[Krematoa]] using a fireball launching cannon as well as bolts of electricity to battle the Kongs. He is fought in a similar way here.

==Differences in the GBA Port==
There are many differences between the Super Nintendo version and the Game Boy Advance version.

[[File:WrinklysRetreat.png|thumb|The new area, Wrinkly's Retreat.]]
*Wrinkly Kong is now only located in Wrinkly's Retreat, between Funky's Rentals and Bazaar's General Store. Banana Birds are kept in this area.
*Cranky's Dojo replaces Wrinkly's Save Cave from the original ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. At the dojo, the Kongs can play a Bonus Game to earn a Banana Bird.
*The original soundtrack of the game, which is notably darker in tone in most of the levels, has been replaced by a lighter-toned soundtrack composed by [[wikipedia:David Wise (composer)|David Wise]], who composed the soundtrack of the first two ''Donkey Kong Countries'', but only had a limited involvement with the soundtrack of the third on the Super Nintendo, which was in majority composed by [[wikipedia:Eveline Fischer|Eveline Fischer]].
*The Brother Bear, Barnacle, is relocated to Pacifica, while Bachelor, a new character that only appears in this port, now takes residence in Lake Orangatanga.
*Anytime after completing Mekanos, the player can visit Bramble to earn a Banana Bird.
*New objects, such as the box of chocolates, have been added to trade amongst the Brothers Bears. Some items must also be traded differently.
*Like in the first two Game Boy Advance remakes for the series, the supporting Kongs have Bonus Games for the heroes to complete. Funky Kong has four new Bonus Games, although the types of games available depends on how many vehicles the heroes can rent, while Cranky and Swanky both have a single Bonus Game.
*Swanky Kong wears the same attire that he wears in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', unlike in the original, where his outfit is different.
[[File:Stormy Seas.PNG|thumb|A new level seen in Pacifica, known as Stormy Seas.]]
*The game introduces the new area, Pacifica, which is the seventh world of the game, located between Razor Ridge and KAOS Kore. The world carries six new levels, as well as all new Bonus Level locations.
*After beating Mekanos and Cotton-Top Cove, the player has the option of playing through either K3, Razor Ridge, or Pacifica to progress, although they all must be completed to beat the game.
*Barbos has been relocated to Pacifica while Kroctopus, a new boss, now inhabits Razor Ridge.
*The houses that the Brothers Bears live in, as well as the bears themselves, have been redesigned. Also, the same music is heard in every house and no longer changes according to the bear. (The music piece is also heard in Funky's Rentals, Swanky's Dash, and Wrinkly's Retreat.)
*There are now five extra Banana Birds to collect, increasing the total to twenty.
*The game also borrows several elements from ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the original [[Game Boy]] counterpart to the Super Nintendo version. These include automatically getting the DK Coin after defeating the Koin.
*Oddly, Blizzard is now a grizzly bear, as opposed to the original, where he is a polar bear.
*The boss, Squirt, has more attacks and has been made harder to defeat.
*When a DK Coin is collected, it tells the player how many more are left.
*The world maps show a closer view of the Kongs than in the original.
*When Knautilus is unlocked in the Super Nintendo version, the background of areas in Krematoa turns red. However, this does not happen in the Game Boy Advance version.
*The final level, Rocket Rush, has an increased difficulty, as red Buzzes damage the Rocket Barrel when touched, and there is no Star Barrel at any point of the stage.

The game stars [[Dixie Kong]] and her toddler cousin, [[Kiddy Kong]], as they travel through [[Northern Kremisphere]] on an adventure to find [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] from the villainous [[Kremling Krew]] and their new leader, [[KAOS]].
+'''''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''''' (known as '''''Super Donkey Kong 3: Nazo no Krems Shima''''' in Japan) is the third game for the popular ''[[Donkey Kong (series)|Donkey Kong]]'' game series, ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. It is the sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. It also has a semi-sequel for the [[Game Boy]], ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', as well another sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', for the [[Nintendo Wii]]. The game stars [[Dixie Kong]] and her little cousin, [[Kiddy Kong]], as they travel through the numerous lands of the [[Northern Kremisphere]] in order to rescue [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] from the [[Kremling Krew]] and their new leader, [[KAOS]].
-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.

Also, on December 24, 2007, the game was released on the [[Virtual Console]] for the Wii in North America. On December 25, it was released in Europe and Australia.
-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.
+==Storyline==
-==Story==
+Months after the defeat of the Kremling Krew, the Kongs are still celebrating. Both [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], with [[Dixie Kong]] occasionally joining them, often sit around the beach on hammocks with banana shakes. One day, however, Dixie Kong, surprisingly finds Diddy's room deserted. Knowing that is wasn't normal for him to be gone so early, she notices a note from Diddy on the table. After reading the note, she learns that the two had gone to the islands to explore. Dixie searches for them, expecting them to be no farther than the beach.
-[[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:
+Searching all day, Dixie does not find the two Kongs, thinking that she had just followed one of their schemes. Hoping that they were having fun, she goes to sleep, but only wakes up to find that Diddy is still missing. Dixie begins to worry as days pass without her seeing a trace of the two apes. Knowing that she needs to do something, Dixie heads to [[Wrinkly Kong]]. She suggests that the monkeys are with [[Funky Kong]] at his beach shop. After Wrinkly teaches Dixie about [[Banana Bird]]s, the young ape heads out to find Funky's Rentals. At the rental shop, Dixie meets Funky, who explains that he has not had any customers other than Kiddy Kong. Dixie decides to bring Kiddy along with her, as she goes on a search for the missing Kongs. Funky allows them to use his [[Motor Boat]], which they use to search for Donkey and Diddy Kong.
-:''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.
+[[File:LakeOranga.png|thumb|left|The Kongs about to fight [[Belcha]].]]
+The monkeys use their new boat to travel a short way off the ocean to a small lake called [[Lake Orangatanga]]. Here, they travel through many levels, in mills, by the lakeside, and in the snowy peaks. The Kongs also meet [[Barnacle]] (or [[Bachelor]] in the Game Boy Advance version) on a small island in the middle. If the Kongs search, they can even find the rare Smuggler's Cove, where a precious [[Banana Bird]] lies. At the most southeastern point of the lake, the monkeys find Belcha, a giant barrel who resides in a large, oblong-shaped barn. Once defeated, a cannon shoots the apes out of Belcha's Barn and sends them to the next area.
-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.
+After defeating Belcha, Dixie and Kiddy enter a dark forest known as the [[Kremwood Forest]]. Through here, they travel through several levels in the trees, mills, and riversides. The monkeys gain a banana bird when they beat Brash's record in [[Riverside Race]]. At the edge of the forest, the apes encounters a giant spider named [[Arich]] in his hollow hole in a tree. With the help of Barrels, the monkeys soon defeat Arich, leaving the Kongs with a [[patch]]. The monkeys then head over to Funky Kong to see if the patch can be made of any good use.
-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}}
+After giving the patch to Funky, he fixes up a [[Hover Craft]] for the apes to use. The Hover Craft allows to heroes to ride over rocks, thus allowing them to travel farther into the Northern Kremisphere. The duo makes their way into [[Cotton-Top Cove]] with the new vehicle. In the cove,  the heroes meet the Brothers Bear, [[Blue]], who is depressed because nobody had come to his birthday party. However, the apes are unable to cheer him up at the time and continue, where they head through a few lakes and waterfalls. They also travel across a lake shore, which is infested with [[Klasp]]s. Eventually, rocks blocking the way behind a waterfall sink into the water, and the two apes are able to meet the new boss, [[Squirt]]. Once he is defeated, the heroes obtain a ski, although it doesn't have any use to Funky Kong.
-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.
+Still searching for Donkey and Diddy, the monkeys head to a small, polluted island known as [[Mekanos]]. They travel through many factories in this area, as well as some pipelines. They even head up a tree that is being chopped down. The duo also meets [[Bazooka]] for the first time here. The bear, if given ammunition, shoot the apes to a Banana Bird Cave. Eventually, the monkeys make it to a small building, where they meet KAOS, the supposed leader of the Kremlings. After they beat the robot, they find another ski, but not Donkey or Diddy. With both skis in hand, they head to Funky Kong, who uses the items to build a [[Turbo Ski]]. The new vehicle allows Dixie and Kiddy to travel over waterfalls.
-[[File:Queen Banana Bird DKC3 shot.png|thumb|200px|left|The Banana Queen is freed.]]
+[[File:K-3.gif|thumb|170px|K3, one of the areas the Kongs explore.]]
-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.
+The Kongs soon arrive in [[K3]] on their search for the missing apes. After they climb to the top of this snow-capped mountain, they face harsh snow storms, and even have to travel through a waterfall. After traveling through a dangerous factory, they find the bear, [[Blizzard]], in a small basecamp covered in snow. Helping him out, they deliver a present from him to another Brothers Bear, Blue, and then head over to the one of the highest parts of the mountain, where they meet the evil snowman, [[Bleak]]. Even after defeating him, however, the apes do not find Donkey or Diddy Kong, so they head on to new areas.
-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.
+They arrive next at [[Razor Ridge]], a mountainous area filled with many caverns. After passing through one of its caves with the help of [[Quawks the Parrot]], the apes meet Benny, who lets them use his chairlift to progress. On the other side of Razor Ridge, the two monkeys meet [[Björn]], the brother of Benny who also runs a chairlift. Although his lifts are broken, he can fix them if he is given a wrench. The lifts help the heroes reach a Banana Bird Cave. Heading on, Dixie and Kiddy climb more of the dangerous mountains, and then cross a dark lake. After going through the final cavern and climb a little higher, they find a lake with the overgrown [[Lurchin]], [[Barbos]] (or [[Kroctopus]] in the Game Boy Advance remake). Like Bleak, however, she does not have Donkey or Diddy, so the two monkeys head over to the last accessible area, [[Pacifica]].

-{{footnote|note|1|At the very start of the game itself, Dixie goes to Wrinkly's Save Cave. During the start of the game, neither Wrinkly nor Funky mention Donkey Kong and Diddy. During the first interaction with Funky, he does not mention for Dixie to be on the lookout for random items, nor does he mention the Brothers Bear. This information is found in the instruction booklet only.}}

-==Gameplay==
+When the apes first enter this world, they encounter a pipeline, which they travel through. At the other end of the pipeline, they meet Barnacle, who gives them a Banana Bird if they give him a certain shell. Heading on, the monkeys head over the lake shore and travel through a series of sunken spruce trees find get back on land. After going through a mountainous part of the world, they make their way into a bigger lake than before, where they surpass the rough underwater currents. They soon go through another set of pipes, and then come up to Barbos, a giant Lurchin. With help from Enguarde, the apes defeat this foe, although they still do not find even a trace Donkey or Diddy Kong. However, after the three areas are complete, the way into a new area, known as [[KAOS Kore]], opens.
-[[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.
+The apes ride to the area in their fast Turbo Ski, where they find a large castle on the hilltop. Traveling through jungles, caverns, and riversides full of enemies, they soon make it to the hilltop. Before they can get into the castle, though, they go through a [[Poisonous Pipeline|poisonous pipeline]]. The gases in the pipeline make it harder to progress, but luckily, the monkeys eventually make it to the castle doors and enter the building. There, they meet KAOS again, and the two sides fight. After apes soon destroy the robot once and for all, but right after, a curtain nearby opens, revealing [[Baron K. Roolenstein]]. The Kremling becomes angered on how the apes ruined his robot, and the fight with the Kongs continues. The Kremling leader is eventually bested, and Donkey and Diddy are finally revealed. It is learned that their energy had been used to power KAOS all along. Even with the two apes rescued however, the monkeys' adventure is still not over.
-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.
+After riding around the series of rocks around Mekanos, a hidden world, known as [[Krematoa]] rises out of the ocean. When the apes enter this area, they encounter more levels to explore. However, many of the levels are blocked off by large rocks, so the apes pay [[Boomer (Bear)|Boomer]] with their hard-earned [[Bonus Coin]]s to destroy them. As the monkeys go through each of the jungle, mountain, cave, and tree levels in the world, they find several [[cog]]s, which they return to Boomer to power up one of his machines. Once all of the cogs are placed in the device, the submarine, [[Knautilus]], rises in the lake in the center of Krematoa. The apes swim to this submarine, only to find Baron K. Roolenstein again. After they fight this enemy, the Kremling leader flees, and the apes are awarded with a DK Coin.
-[[File:Doorstop Dash DKC3 shot 4.png|thumb|Dixie about to throw Kiddy into a [[Bonus Barrel]].]]
+[[File:BananaBirdQueen.png|thumb|170px|left|The Kongs meet the Banana Bird Queen.]]
-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.
+The DK Coin given to them becomes part of their collection of coins. After they earn all of the coins, they head over to Funky Kong, who decides to make a new vehicle for them with the DK Coins. The apes allow him to do so, and he creates a [[Gyrocopter]]. As they apes explore the area in this helicopter, they come up to the [[Banana Bird Queen]], who had been imprisoned by Baron K. Roolenstein. The queen, trapped, asks the heroes to hunt for each of her children, the Banana Birds, who are the only way to break the [[Banana Bird Barrier]]s. They Kongs do so and soon head to Wrinkly, where the birds are kept. When they arrive, the birds pick up the two monkeys and lift them up to the Banana Bird Queen's location. With the birds finally united, the queen is freed from her barrier. In exchange for helping her, the Banana Bird Queen chases Baron K. Roolenstein out of the Northern Kremisphere once and for all.
+<br clear=all>
+==Kong Abilities==
+[[File:BarrelRides65.png|thumb|left|Dixie runs on a rolling barrel.]]
+The object of the game is to reach the end of every level, however, this cannot be done without the apes using some of their trademark abilities. The two Kongs, Kiddy and Dixie, both have different special abilities, although their basic abilities are mostly the same. Both apes are able to swim, [[jump]], climb, and move. They can use their jumping abilities to defeat enemies or cross gaps, and also use their climbing abilities to maneuver on the game's various ropes. When swimming, however, neither of these moves can be used. Another way to attack on land besides jumping is rolling. The attack can knock foes off of the stage easily, although some enemies, such as Bristles, are almost completely immune to this attack. Additionally, if the apes are to roll off of a ledge and jump in mid air, they preform a super-jump. The duo is also able to balance on moving [[Steel Keg]]s, which ram into foes are they ride on it.
-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.
+[[File:ImageDKC365.png|thumb|Kiddy protecting himself from a [[Krimp]] with a barrel.]]
+As stated before, both apes have different special abilities. The most notable ability, used by Dixie Kong, is the [[Helicopter Twirl]], which Kiddy Kong is unable to perform. This move allows Dixie to propel through the air until she hits the ground. Although Kiddy doesn't have this move, his strength makes up for the loss. He can throw barrels much faster than Dixie, as well as defeat foes that his partner cannot defeat alone. Another advantage Kiddy has is how he holds objects such as barrels. While Dixie holds objects over her head, Kiddy Kong holds them in front of his body, protecting himself. Therefore, if an enemy is to hit into him as he holds an object, it is likely that the attack won't hurt him at all, and it defeats the foe instead. Although not used too often in the game, Kiddy can also jump on water a few times while rolling. This can help the heroes reach high areas atop the water.
-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]].
+[[File:Image2DKC365.png|left|thumb|Dixie about to throw Kiddy into a [[Bonus Barrel]].]]
+There are also some moves that both Kongs are needed to use, such as the [[Team-up]] move. When using this move, one monkey picks up the other and puts them on his or her shoulders. Then, they can throw that monkey into enemies or into high areas. Because of Kiddy's weight, Dixie is hardly able to hold the large ape. As a result, she cannot throw him too far. However, if she throws him upwards and lets him fall onto the ground, the toddler can break through the ground and finds hidden items. When Kiddy teams up with Dixie and carries her, he is able to easily maneuver around, as he is quite strong. He can also throw her much farther, although she cannot break through the ground. Additionally, when both Kongs are around, Dixie can throw Kiddy into a wall, causing the toddler to bounce back. When this happens, she can jump on him as if he were a Steel Keg and ram into most enemies.
-===Controls===
+==Special Areas==
-{|class="wikitable dk" style="width:100%; text-align:center"
+''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' is filled with with various special areas, where the heroes can meet the other Kongs and [[Brothers Bear]]s around the island to help out.
+[[Image:BananaBirdCave.png|thumb|Inside a Banana Bird Cave.]]
+*'''[[Banana Bird Cave]]s:''' Each of these caves contain a Banana Bird. However, the only way to get the bird is to hit a series of crystals in the right order.
+*'''Brothers Bear Cabins:''' There are several cabins in the game, one for each of the Brothers Bears. In them, the apes can talk to the bears and help them complete a trade to earn [[Banana Bird]]s.
+*'''[[Funky's Rentals]]:''' This is where the apes can rent vehicles made by [[Funky Kong]] to travel through the Northern Kremisphere. He allows them to use his [[Motor Boat]] at the beginning of the game, but after the apes gather up special items for him, he is able to make a [[Hover Craft]], a [[Turbo Ski]], and a [[Gyrocopter]] for them to ride in. In the Game Boy Advance remake of the game, Funky hosts Bonus Games with some of those vehicles. If they are all completed, a Banana Bird is earned.
+*'''[[Cranky's Dojo]]:''' Exclusive to the Game Boy Advance remake, Cranky's Dojo replaces [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]] from the original version of the game. The heroes can meet [[Cranky Kong]] here and play a special Bonus Game for a Banana Bird at the price of only two Bear Coins. The game involves moving Cranky Kong so that he can block the incoming Spinies.
+*'''[[Swanky's Dash]]:''' Another area exclusive to the Game Boy Advance remake. It replaces [[Swanky's Sideshow]] from the original game. At Swanky's Dash, Dixie Kong can play a Bonus Game for a few Bear Coins, where she must run through a pipeline, avoiding obstacles and trying to collect a certain number of stars. If the Bonus Game is completed, the apes earn some special collectibles.
+*'''[[Swanky's Sideshow]]:''' This is where the monkeys can play another special Bonus Game, exclusively found in the Super Nintendo version of the game. For only a few Bear Coins, the apes can face Cranky here in a ball tossing Bonus Game.
+*'''[[Wrinkly's Save Cave]]:''' This area, only found in the original version of the game, is where the Kongs' game can be saved. One appears in each word, as well as in the overworld. Wrinkly is always found here, and she is either exercising, playing her [[Nintendo 64]], or sleeping.
+*'''[[Wrinkly's Retreat]]:''' This area is located just before Funky's Rentals. It is where Wrinkly resides throughout the game. The Kongs' Banana Birds are kept here.
+==Animal Buddies==
+As with every ''Donkey Kong Country'' game, [[Animal Buddy|Animal Buddies]] appear to help out the monkeys. Several old friends return in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', such as Enguarde, Squawks, and Squitter, and several new ones appear, such as Ellie and Parry. Each buddy helps the apes in a different way, but are only found in certain levels. Below shows the game's Animal Buddies, along with their abilities and their first and last level appearances.

+|Ellie the Elephant is a new Animal Buddy that replaces [[Rambi]] from the first two games. Ellie is not as strong as Rambi, but she can pick up and suck barrels towards her, which is a useful technique for defeating certain enemies. She can also suck up water from lakes and waterfalls to shoot at enemies. Unfortunately, she is afraid of Sneeks, and she runs away from them at first sight. Ellie is also used in the boss fight against [[Squirt]].

While it is helpful in some cases (eating enemies such as [[Koco]]s), it can also attack the heroes if not properly fed. Feeding it [[Lurchin]]s makes the fish more likely to attack the apes, and not feeding it at all can also make it attack them.

The Kongs go though many challenges to reach the buddy's [[No Animal Sign]], but if they do make it to the sign, the monkeys usually get a large reward, such as a blue Extra Life Balloon or [[Bonus Barrel]].

With all the coins, Funky Kong can make a Gyrocopter to take the apes to the [[Banana Bird Queen]].
 |-
-|style="background:#f5deb3"|Throw Kong when teamed up

Although they are of no use to the apes, they are required to trade if the heroes want to complete their adventure 100%. Note that some items are earned from defeating bosses and do not need to be traded with the bears. Some items must also be traded differently in the Game Boy Advance version.

-|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.
+|This Brothers Bear lives on a small island in the center of Lake Orangatanga, where Barnacle had originally been in the Super Nintendo version. He wants a rose and a box of chocolates for his girlfriend, but needs the help of the Kongs to get them. After they help him out, Bachelor gives them a Banana Bird. Also, upon meeting him, the apes are given the Flupperius Petallus Pongus flower, which Bachelor has no use for.

+|Björn, the brother of Benny, runs the second set of chairlifts in Razor Ridge. However, his are not working, so the apes have to offer their help to use them. If they give him the No. 6 Wrench from Barter, he can fix the chairlifts and help them reach a Banana Bird Cave.

-|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.
+|After being stuck in K3 due to the snowy weather, Blizzard is unable to reach Blue's birthday party. When the apes find him in the world, he gives them his gift to Blue for the heroes to deliver.

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]].
+|Blue is depressed during the events of the game due to nobody coming to his birthday party. In order to finally cheer him up, the heroes must talk to Blizzard in K3 and get the present from him. After the gift is delivered, Blue cheers up, although he ends up giving the contents of the gift back to the monkeys.

-|This special barrel only appear in the level [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], where the Kongs must use this barrel to fly up cliffs infested with Buzzes. 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.
+|Boomer is found on the lost world of Krematoa. If the apes give him some of their hard-earned Bonus Coins, he blows up roadblocks blocking the pathways to secret levels. Cogs are found in these levels, and if they are all placed in one of his machines, the submarine, Knautilus, is revealed in the nearby lake.

-|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.
+|Bramble is a Brothers Bear located near Cotton-Top Cove who is interested in plants, but not the machines in Mekanos. Once the machines are shut down on the nearby island and the apes complete Razor Ridge, a Flupperius Petallus Pongus appears near his cabin to pick. In exchange for the flower, he gives the heroes a Banana Bird. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the Flupperius Petallus Pongus is actually given to the apes by Bachelor, and if it is given to Bramble, he gives the Kongs a rose.

-|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.
+|This bear is a jock in the Kremwood Forest who holds the record of completing Riverside Race in one minute and fifty seconds. Although he brags to the apes about his feat, the monkeys can beat his time in the level, causing the bear to become enraged. As a result of his tantrum, a log in the forest falls into the riverbank, creating a bridge to a Banana Bird Cave.

-|-
-|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.

However, robotic arms try to sweep them away as they try to do so. KAOS is fought a second time in [[Kastle KAOS]], with different tactics and moves. The Kongs must use barrels to defeat him, as he does not use his blades anymore. He reveals a new head during this battle, which uses bomb-launchers in its eye. He is still vulnerable to barrels, though.

+|Barbos is a large Lurchin who resides in the area, Razor Ridge. However, she is fought in Pacifica in the Game Boy Advance version of the game. The Kongs must use Enguarde the Swordfish to defeat Barbos, as she is underwater in a red lake. She attacks by sending out Lurchins at Enguarde. Enguarde must smash the Lurchins into the spike balls of Barbos. Once Barbos's body is exposed as a result, Enguarde can smash her body. Barbos can also shoot out shell missiles, which Enguarde can lead to her to attack. After that, she sends spikes that Enguarde must avoid.

Roolenstein uses jetpacks to fly around using blasts of electricity to attack the Kongs. The Kongs need to pull a pipe on the ceiling to make a barrel appear. The barrel can then be thrown at Baron K. Roolenstein's jetpack several times to defeat him. He can also be fought again at [[Krematoa]] using a fireball launching cannon as well as bolts of electricity to battle the Kongs. He is fought in a similar way here.

-==Codes==
+==Differences in the GBA Port==
-[[File:MERRY cheat 1 - Donkey Kong Country 3.png|thumb|An active MERRY cheat, changing the stars to Christmas ornaments]]
+There are many differences between the Super Nintendo version and the Game Boy Advance version.
-Players can initiate the [[Cheat code|code]]-entering screen by pressing the following sequence at the file selection screen: {{button|SNES|L}} {{button|SNES|R}} {{button|SNES|R}} {{button|SNES|L}} {{button|SNES|R}} {{button|SNES|R}} {{button|SNES|L}} {{button|SNES|R}} {{button|SNES|L}} {{button|SNES|R}}. Some codes are permanently attached to a file if entered before starting a new game.
-*'''LIVES''' – Players are given 50 lives. Entering it before starting a new profile will result in players being ranked "Cheatin' Chump" after beating the final boss.
-*'''ASAVE''' – The game automatically saves after each level. Entering it before starting a new profile will result in players being ranked "Cheatin' Chump" after beating the final boss.
-*'''MERRY''' – All the bonus levels will have a Christmas theme, turning [[Star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s into ornaments and [[green banana]]s into presents. Additionally, different bonus level music will play. If entered before starting a new file, the effects will be permanent to that file; if entered before starting an existing file, the effect only lasts until the game is reset.
-*'''COLOR''' – Dixie and Kiddy Kong's clothing will turn purple and green, respectively. This also affects the [[Level Flag]]. Dixie's gum (seen during her idle animation) will turn from pink to purple. Some enemy artwork seen after entering a [[Bonus Barrel]] is changed, and the [[mirror (item)|mirror]] is now green. [[Dixie Kong's Photo Album]] and the credits remain unaltered. If entered before starting a new file, the effects will be permanent to that file; if entered before starting an existing file, the effect only lasts until the game is reset.
-*'''MUSIC''' – Enters Dixie Kong's Music Test, where players can choose any in-game music to listen to.
-*'''WATER''' – Allows the player to enter the waterfall left of [[Bazaar's General Store]], where there is a [[secret cave]]. If the player wins the game, all 85 [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]]s will be earned. If entered before starting a new file, the player will always be allowed to enter the waterfall; if entered after starting an existing file, the player can only enter the waterfall until the game is reset.
-*'''ERASE''' – The record times for completing the game will be reset.<ref>{{cite|title=time for a real little-known DKC3 fact: the ERASE code erases your high scores, even though most websites say it is just for erasing your time on riverside race #SNES #NintendoSwitch|url=x.com/JoyContent_/status/1614147825365028865|publisher=X|accessdate=June 5, 2024|author=Joy/Skylar 🐦|language=en|archive=http://archive.today/2024.11.04-215921/https://x.com/JoyContent_/status/1614147825365028865}}</ref>
-*'''HARDR''' – 29 of the 139 [[DK Barrels]] will be removed. This code must be entered before starting a new file to work. If the game is fully beaten with this code activated from the start, the player will have a score of 104% instead of the standard 103%.
-*'''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%.
-==Glitches==
-{{main|List of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! glitches}}
-===Creepy Caverns glitch===
-{{Damage|1}}

-}}
-[[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.
-==Quotes==
+[[File:WrinklysRetreat.png|thumb|The new area, Wrinkly's Retreat.]]
-{{main|List of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! quotes}}
+*Wrinkly Kong is now only located in Wrinkly's Retreat, between Funky's Rentals and Bazaar's General Store. Banana Birds are kept in this area.
-===[[Baron K. Roolenstein]]===
+*Cranky's Dojo replaces Wrinkly's Save Cave from the original ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. At the dojo, the Kongs can play a Bonus Game to earn a Banana Bird.
-*"''NOOO! What have you done? My wife's going to kill me! I used all of her best pots and pans to make [[KAOS|him]]... And then [[Dixie Kong|you]] just cast him aside as if he were a stack of empty tins!''"
+*The original soundtrack of the game, which is notably darker in tone in most of the levels, has been replaced by a lighter-toned soundtrack composed by [[wikipedia:David Wise (composer)|David Wise]], who composed the soundtrack of the first two ''Donkey Kong Countries'', but only had a limited involvement with the soundtrack of the third on the Super Nintendo, which was in majority composed by [[wikipedia:Eveline Fischer|Eveline Fischer]].
-*"''WHAT!? How dare you! KAOS was my ticket to world domination... And I'd have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids!''"
+*The Brother Bear, Barnacle, is relocated to Pacifica, while Bachelor, a new character that only appears in this port, now takes residence in Lake Orangatanga.
-*"''Well, you may have roasted my robot, but I'M the master chef around here, and I reckon it's about time your goose was cooked!''"
+*Anytime after completing Mekanos, the player can visit Bramble to earn a Banana Bird.
-*"''What the blazes!? So, YOU'RE the one who's been scuttling my [[Knautilus|super secret submarine]]! This is the LAST time you'll spoil my plans! I'm gonna bash you good!''"
+*New objects, such as the box of chocolates, have been added to trade amongst the Brothers Bears. Some items must also be traded differently.
-*"''Right!!! Look out, you cheeky [[Kong|monkeys]]!''"
+*Like in the first two Game Boy Advance remakes for the series, the supporting Kongs have Bonus Games for the heroes to complete. Funky Kong has four new Bonus Games, although the types of games available depends on how many vehicles the heroes can rent, while Cranky and Swanky both have a single Bonus Game.
+*Swanky Kong wears the same attire that he wears in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', unlike in the original, where his outfit is different.
+[[File:Stormy Seas.PNG|thumb|A new level seen in Pacifica, known as Stormy Seas.]]
+*The game introduces the new area, Pacifica, which is the seventh world of the game, located between Razor Ridge and KAOS Kore. The world carries six new levels, as well as all new Bonus Level locations.
+*After beating Mekanos and Cotton-Top Cove, the player has the option of playing through either K3, Razor Ridge, or Pacifica to progress, although they all must be completed to beat the game.
+*Barbos has been relocated to Pacifica while Kroctopus, a new boss, now inhabits Razor Ridge.
+*The houses that the Brothers Bears live in, as well as the bears themselves, have been redesigned. Also, the same music is heard in every house and no longer changes according to the bear. (The music piece is also heard in Funky's Rentals, Swanky's Dash, and Wrinkly's Retreat.)
+*There are now five extra Banana Birds to collect, increasing the total to twenty.
+*The game also borrows several elements from ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the original [[Game Boy]] counterpart to the Super Nintendo version. These include automatically getting the DK Coin after defeating the Koin.
+*Oddly, Blizzard is now a grizzly bear, as opposed to the original, where he is a polar bear.
+*The boss, Squirt, has more attacks and has been made harder to defeat.
+*When a DK Coin is collected, it tells the player how many more are left.
+*The world maps show a closer view of the Kongs than in the original.
+*When Knautilus is unlocked in the Super Nintendo version, the background of areas in Krematoa turns red. However, this does not happen in the Game Boy Advance version.
+*The final level, Rocket Rush, has an increased difficulty, as red Buzzes damage the Rocket Barrel when touched, and there is no Star Barrel at any point of the stage.

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.

 ==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.
+*The game was placed 23rd in the 100th issue of [[Nintendo Power|Nintendo Power's]] "100 best Nintendo games of all time" in 1997. <ref>http://www.gamekult.com/communaute/forum/voirmessage.html?foid=13000909, retrieved 6/4/2009</ref>
-*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]]''.
