'''Tidal Trouble''' is the third [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' It is located in [[Lake Orangatanga]], the game's first world. It is the second level to take place on a series of boardwalks, after [[Lakeside Limbo]]. There is a current in the water flowing left, in the opposite direction that [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] must go. The [[Kong]]s must jump out of the water to continue moving against the force of the current, though there is the risk of it pushing them into [[Koco]]s. The second section features more swimming, and the Kongs must avoid the Buzzes above the water, as well as the Kocos in the water. For a brief part of the level, the Kongs can transform into [[Enguarde]] by entering an [[Animal Barrel]] of it directly beneath the second Knocka.
'''Tidal Trouble''' is the third [[level]] of the [[Super Nintendo]] and [[Game Boy Advance]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is also located in [[Lake Orangatanga]], the game's first world.

The Kongs begin the level under a small tunnel with a series of boardwalks ahead of it, which support a [[Koin]]. After passing the foe, climbing up a small ledge, and heading down a ramp, which contains a Kobble in the SNES version, the apes reach an area of water that they must swim through, with some individual [[banana]]s placed along the way, to reach another wooden platform. The [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]] floats above the water, which contains a few [[banana]]s. Once they make their way onto the wooden platform, they can find a [[bear coin]] and a Buzz with a [[DK Barrel]] above it. As the primates travel ahead of here, they encounter a Koco in a long area of water. A thin, wooden structure stands in the water that they must hop over to move closer to a set of boardwalks that hold a pair of Knockas that are separated by a raised section of the platforms. An [[Animal Barrel]] that can turn the Kongs into Enguarde sits under the boards, and the letter O floats over the water after them. As the apes swim through the water, they encounter a few Kocos. They must maneuver over and under them to reach another set of boards that are supported over a pair of Kocos that block the way into a [[Bonus Barrel]]. After the primates travel across the flat boards, which carry a lone Knocka, they reach another area of water with a [[No Animal Sign]] in it. If they manage to pass a pair of Kocos and a thin, wooden structure in the liquid, they can reach a [[Star Barrel]] and a DK Barrel.


Two buzzes follow the DK Barrel: The first Buzz hovers under a bear coin over the water, while the other hovers above a thin, wooden structure. Four more of these thin structures are ahead, and as the heroes travel over them, they come past a Buzz, found between the first two structures, and a Koco, who is located between the last two structures. A trail of bananas near here leads the Kongs under another Buzz and a Koco. A second Koco swims to the right of the foes, and it is followed by a pair of Knik-Knaks that float over the shallow water. They can be bounced on to reach a raised platform with a Knocka and a Booty Bird on it. The bird enemy can be defeated to gain the letter N. If the primates choose not to jump onto this platform, they can head under it, grabbing a hidden bear coin on the way.
This level is set on another series of boardwalks, though this time there is a current in the water which will gradually sweep the [[Kong]]s away from the goal. They will have to keep moving to proceed through the level because of it. The strong current can also push the monkeys into enemies, so they must be careful. Enemies here include [[Koco]]s, [[Knocka]]s, [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]], [[Booty Bird]]s, and [[Knick-Knack]]s. A [[Lurchin]] appears in a [[Bonus Level]] here as well. If the level becomes to tough for the Kongs, they can find [[Enguarde]] in an [[Animal Barrel]]. However, the helpful swordfish is unable to swim far in the shallow water.


After they travel over or under the board, they approach a pair of Kocos that they must jump over to discover a thin and tall platform, which stands under a Bonus Barrel. They can find another pair of Kocos stacked on top of each other nearby, and these enemies are followed by an additional thin, wooden structure that is guarded by a Buzz that moves up and down. On the other side of the structure, the apes can find a DK Barrel and a banana trail that leads them under a Buzz and a Koco. Once they travel under these foes and dodge an additional Koco, they come towards another group containing a Buzz and a Koco, who are followed by the letter G, which floats over the rough water. A thin structure is ahead of here that the Kongs must jump through to reach a Koco and a set of boards that support a Knocka and a [[Level Flag]]. Kiddy Kong can be thrown at a crack in the ground immediately before the flag to reveal and opening with an [[Extra Life Balloon]] and a [[Barrel Cannon]] in it.
==Level Layout==
At the beginning of the level, the apes will find a strait pathway along a few boardwalks. Soon, they will walk down a slanted platform to reach the edge of the boardwalks. Jumping into the water will take them to an area full of bananas. The letter K can be found above the water at this point as well. Swimming through the rushing water, they will find a trail of bananas leading under a Koco, and then make their way back onto the wharf. There, they will meet a few Knockas to push them back into the water. If they are avoided, the heroes will be able to reach the other end of the boardwalks in the water. There, they will find a some banana trails guiding them around a few Kocos, as well as the letter O in the air. Shortly after that, the monkeys will find another set of boardwalks. They should travel across them, dodging a lone Knocka, to find their way back into the water. In the water, they will meet a few Kocos in the way, though they can be easily jumped over. A little farther from here, the heroes will find a [[Star Barrel]].


==Enemies==
About halfway into the level, the monkeys will swim through the rough water, meeting a few Buzzes. The area will also have a few broken parts of the wharf, supported by large stilts. They should jump over these obstacles while avoiding the Buzzes, making their way under a Buzz and a Koco. Soon, they will make their way under a high boardwalk and encounter a pair of Kocos in their way. Not too far from there is another group of Kocos. The apes should jump over both of the groups to reach another broken part of the wharf. If they want to continue, they will need to jump over the obstacle while dodging the above Buzz. Once they get to the other side of the object, they will meet a few more groups of enemies in their way. They should maneuver under them and find the letter G near a Buzz. Nearby, they will also find another broken part of the wharf to head over, as well as the way back onto the boardwalks. They should travel over this area to spot a flagpole. If they raise this pole's flag, the level will end.

#Shortly after the letter O, the heroes will find a pair of Kocos guarding the way to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. They should maneuver around these foes to reach it. The barrel will take them into a [[Bonus Level]], where they will need to collect thirty stars around the area with Enguarde, watching out for a Lurchin. If they collect all of the stars in less than twenty seconds, a [[Bonus Coin]] will appear at the right end of the stage.

#After the Star Barrel, the heroes will find two Knik-Knaks floating in the air. They should bounce on these foes to reach a high boardwalk. There, Kiddy will need to take the lead and roll into the water. As he hits the surface of the liquid, the player will need to hit the jump button, making him bounce on the water. Bouncing on the water a few times will take the young ape onto a small platform with the Bonus Barrel. If Kiddy is to miss this platform, he will be forced to restart the level to reach the area, as he and Dixie are unable to reach the high boardwalks again. Once Kiddy jumps into the barrel, he will be taken to a Bonus Level. There, Kiddy and Dixie will have to move along a tightrope and defeat some Knik-Knaks. A Bonus Coin will appear at the end of the stage once all the enemies are defeated.

===K-O-N-G Letters===
[[File:Tidal Trouble DKC3 shot 3.png|thumb|The location of the letter O]]
*'''K:''' The letter K is floating above the first gap of water, which appears right before the first DK Barrel in the level.
*'''O:''' After the second Knocka, the Kongs can jump to the letter O in the air before going into the water below.
*'''N:''' On the small platform just before the second Bonus Barrel, the Kongs can defeat a Booty Bird for the letter N.
*'''G:''' The letter G is hovering next to the last Buzz, who is above the water shortly before the Level Flag.


===DK Coin===
===DK Coin===
At the very start, the Kongs start under a roof, which has a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]] on it. To the right from where the Kongs start is a group of bananas shaping an {{button|snes|A}} (or {{button|GBA|R}} in the Game Boy Advance remake), indicating the button that the player must press to perform a [[Team-up]] throw. With the move, they can go on the roof, pick up the Steel Barrel, and continue onward a bit until they find the [[Koin]]. They must throw the Steel Barrel to the right at a wall behind Koin for it to bounce off and hit Koin from behind. This causes Koin to be defeated, and the Kongs earn the [[DK Coin]].
#At the beginning of the level, the Kongs will meet the [[Koin]], who will have the [[DK Coin]]. He will not give up the coin without a fight, and his shield will protect him from most of the Kongs' attacks. So, the apes will need to retrieve the [[Steel Barrel]] hidden on top of the entrance by using their [[Team-up]] move and stand on the enemy, causing the Koin to put his attention on the monkeys. If they are to throw the barrel at the nearest wall at this time, it will bounce off of it and hit the Koin in the side. This will defeat him, thus giving the Kongs the DK Coin.

==Bonus Levels==
===[[Warp Barrel]]===
{{multiframe|[[File:Tidal Trouble Bonus Area 1.png|200px]] [[File:Tidal Trouble Bonus Level 2.png|200px]]|size=420|The first and second Bonus Levels respectively}}
#Just past one red Koco, the Kongs should, not jump over, but land on, a very skinny platform, hardly big enough to hold both Kongs. Kiddy must then throw Dixie north-west to reach the Warp barrel.
Tidal Trouble has two [[Bonus room|Bonus Levels]], listed by type:
*'''''Collect 30 Stars!''''': After the letter O, the Kongs can swim by some Kocos in a straightforward path to a [[Bonus Barrel]]. They can also enter the Enguarde Barrel under the boardwalk. Enguarde can then do a [[super move|supercharge]] to quickly charge through the Kocos and enter the Bonus Barrel. Tidal Trouble is the first level where the "B" on the Bonus Barrel swirls and dissolves. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs or Enguarde have 20 seconds to collect 30 [[star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s in a wide area. A Lurchin is at the bottom-center and must be avoided. After the Kongs or Enguarde collect every star, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears at the right end.
*'''''Bash the Baddies!''''': After the Star Barrel, the Kongs can find two Knik-Knaks in midair. They must jump on them to reach a high boardwalk. From there, Kiddy must take the lead and roll towards the water. Kiddy must perform a [[Water Skip]] a few times to get onto a small platform with a Bonus Barrel above, though he has only one chance at performing this per level playthrough. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 10 seconds to move along a tightrope and defeat four Knik-Knaks. After every enemy is defeated, the Bonus Coin appears to the very right in the water below.


==Warp Barrel==
== Names in Other Languages ==
After passing the level's first Koco, the Kongs must jump onto a short platform. Kiddy must then throw Dixie northwest into the hidden [[Warp Barrel]], which sends them to the Level Flag.
