| '''K3''' is a snowy, frigid mountain recognized as the fifth [[world]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' Like most mountains in high altitude, K3 is covered in snow and ice and constantly wracked by blizzards and snowstorms. Because of the setting, most areas, including the boss level, take place in the snow. Due to the slippery surface, sledding is used as a means of traveling through K3: there is one level where the [[Kong]]s use a [[Toboggan]] and a later level featuring [[Lemguin]]s, which move by sliding on their bellies. K3 also has rocky cliffs and crevices, some of which the [[Kong]]s have to go up. A large waterfall runs through K3, appearing to be flowing into the main [[Northern Kremisphere]] map. Right next to the waterfall peak is a factory that the [[Kremling]]s have relocated to following [[KAOS]]'s defeat in [[Mekanos]].<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Kent Miller, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''

| Aside from levels, K3 has some unique areas. The [[secret cave]] of K3 is Glacial Grotto, which is located to the left of Blizzard's Basecamp. The [[Brothers Bear|Brother Bear]] of K3 is [[Blizzard (character)|Blizzard]], who resides in [[Blizzard's Basecamp]], where he asks [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] to deliver a [[Present (Donkey Kong Country 3)|present]] to [[Blue]].
| | K3, like any high-up mountain is covered in snow and ice and constantly wracked by blizzards and snow storms. Due to the large amount of ice sledding seems to be one of the many ways to travel K3, the elusive [[Lemguin]]s also make use of all the ice, they slide on their bellies to travel on it. |
|
| |
|
| K3's comes from either {{wp|K2}}, the second highest mountain on [[Earth]], or Broad Peak, the twelfth highest mountain formerly known as "K-3". Either way, such a namesake may have been chosen because it begins with a "K," similarly to [[Kremling]] names.
| | Along with it's large snow feilds K3 also has many rocky cliffs and crevices, some of which the [[Kong]]s had to scale on their adventure. The area also has a large waterfall running through it, that somewhat bizzarely has barrels raining down from it. These barrels are possibly falling from a nearby factory with a somewhat moody [[Krosshair|security system]]. |
|

|
| ==Levels==
| | The area seems to be a somewhat of a minor vacation spot due to the many cabins seen in it, both in the levels and in the backround of the mountains various pine-tree forests. |

| ==Profiles==
| | The aptly named [[Blizzard]] Bear is found in a cabin in K3, the Kongs can do him a favor by delivering a gift for him. The area's boss, an evil snowman named [[Bleak]] is found in a nearby snowfeild to the north-east of the area. Oddly this snowfeild actually looks like it is frowning. |
| *'''Player's Guide:''' ''The frozen wastes of K3 never see any season except winter. It's tough for hairy toes to maintain a steady footing on the ice, especially when you have to jump over sliding Lemguins or dodge the polar projectiles hurled by a sinister snowman.''<ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Kent Miller, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''

| |
| *'''''Nintendo Power'' vol. 89:''' ''Winter always has an icy grip on the slick summit of K3. This is the hunting ground of Bleak the Snowman, the most ruthless righthander to ever chuck a dirty snowball. Watch you step on the slick slopes or you might slide into a bottomless crevasse. And be sure to warm your frozen toes at Blizzard Bear's Base Camp.''<ref>{{cite|date=October 1996|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 89|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=37}}</ref>
| |
| *'''''Nintendo Power'' vol. 91:''' ''Welcome to the steeps and deeps of icy K3, the highest pointed peak in Donkey Kong Country. Few warm-blooded creatures actually brave these winter environs. Be sure to warm your hairy toes at Blizzard Bear's Basecamp. An avalanche wiped out the trail to his cabin, but you might find another route somewhere near Lemguin Lunge.''<ref>{{cite|date=December 1996|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 91|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=59}}</ref>
