As [[David Wise]] was already busy on ''Project Dream'' (a game that would ultimately go unreleased), Novakovic was called on to compose the majority of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', which wound up being replaced in the game's [[Game Boy Advance]] port due to difficulties converting it to the system's sound chip.<ref name="Fanbyte"/><ref>{{cite|language=en|url=x.com/David_Wise/status/1238090553692168192|author=Wise, David|date=March 12, 2020|title=GBA is handheld with tiny speakers, no bass or treble.

Beside composing, Novakovic also portrayed [[Pipsy]] in ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', [[Tiny Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', and [[Dixie Kong]] in the Game Boy Advance version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'' and ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. The latter two roles were eventually taken over by [[Kahoru Sasajima]]. In addition to her work in the ''Donkey Kong'' series, she has contributed to other Rareware productions, such as voicing [[wikipedia:Joanna Dark|Joanna Dark]], the protagonist of ''[[wikipedia:Perfect Dark|Perfect Dark]]''. | |||
