'''K3''' is a snowy, frigid mountain and the fifth world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. 

==Summary==
Like any mountain 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, who move around by sliding on their bellies.

Aside from its snowy fields, K3 also features rocky cliffs and crevices, some of which the [[Kong]]s had to scale on. The area also has a large waterfall running through it, and appears to be flowing into the main world map, the [[Northern Kremisphere]]. Right next to the waterfall peak is a factory that the [[Kremling]]s have relocated to following [[KAOS]]'s defeat in [[Mekanos]].<ref>''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Player's Guide, Nintendo, 1996, p. 76</ref>

The [[Brothers Bear]] of K3 is [[Blizzard (character)|Blizzard]], who resides in Blizzard's Basecamp; his purpose is requesting [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] to deliver a [[Present]] to [[Blue]]. The [[Secret Cave]] of K3 is Glacial Grotto, which is located to the left of Blizzard's Basecamp.

The world's boss is an evil snowman named [[Bleak]], who is fought at the northeast corner of the world map. From the world map, it appears to give off a sinister frowning face.

|Tearaway Toboggan is the game's second snow-themed level, after [[Skidda's Row]]. As suggested by the level name, Dixie and Kiddy travel through the level in a [[Toboggan]], similar to [[Demolition Drain-Pipe]]. The vehicle moves at fast speed, and the Kongs must prevent it from crashing into objects, including walls and cabins, and enemies, mainly [[Skidda]]s.

|This is the final waterfall-themed level in the game. Despite being in K3, the level does not feature any snow or ice. The Kongs must reach the top of the level by jumping on [[barrel]] platforms that are sliding down the waterfall.

|This level takes place in a factory, which is guarded by an off-screen enemy named [[Kroc]]. The Kongs are required to be [[Squitter the Spider|Squitter]] for a majority of the level, and must avoid being blasted from the fireballs shot by Kroc, which is indicated from a cursor following him around in the level. Aside from Kroc, some small lava pits also appear in the area.

|The final regular level of K3, Lemguin Lunge is a snow-themed level that, like Skidda's Row, requires Dixie and Kiddy to venture the level on the slippery, icy surface. As its name suggests, Lemguin Lunge features numerous [[Lemguin]]s, who indefinitely spawn out of holes and then attempt sliding into the Kongs.

|Here, the Kongs fight the world boss, [[Bleak]]. This involves both the lead Kong and Bleak in a snowball fight. To attack Bleak, Dixie or Kiddy must throw at his glowing necklace, but but avoid snowballs thrown by him, including large ones that he blasted out from his hat.

==Trivia==
*K3's name either comes from [[wikipedia:K2|K2]], the [[Earth]]'s second highest mountain, or Broad Peak, the twelfth highest mountain formerly known as "K-3". Either way, such a namesake may have been chosen due to the fact that it includes the letter "K", a [[Kremling]] reference ubiquitous in [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] names.
