'''Stars''' are small star-shaped medals that appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', and their respective [[Game Boy]] counterparts, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Stars have the same role between all of their appearances, and they are featured only in the "Collect the Stars!" [[bonus room|Bonus Level]] challenges, where the goal is for the [[Kong]]s to collect every star within the [[Time Limit]]. A counter at the top left corner indicates how many stars still need to be collected. When the Kongs collect all the stars, either a [[Kremkoin]] or a [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] (depending on the game) spawns for the Kongs to collect within the remaining time.


In ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'', if the "MERRY" [[Cheat code|cheat]] is activated, every star transforms into Christmas ornaments, though the difference is only aesthetic.
Appearing only in certain [[Bonus Area]]s, the objective for the [[Kong]]s in both games is to collect as many Stars as they can, which, in most cases, is all of them. However, there is always a [[Time Limit]] that they must beat. In the upper left corner of the screen, there is a counter which will display how many Stars the Kongs have yet to find. Collecting all the Stars can be either fairly easy, or tough, especially in Bonus Areas where the Kongs are forced along at a high speed.


==Gallery==
Upon collecting enough Stars, either a [[Bonus Coin]] or a [[Kremkoin]] will appear, which the Kongs must then collect before the time limit runs out.
