'''Cotton Top Cove''' (originally spelled as '''Cotton-Top Cove''' in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] release) is the third world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', but can also be accessed as the fourth world (and vice-versa for [[Mekanos]]). It features a variety of water-themed, including lakes, waterfalls, and deep underwater areas. Near the waterfalls are various stair-like protrusions in the cliff face. A large lake and a long boardwalk are atop the waterfall. The [[Swanky's Sideshow]] tent (or [[Swanky's Dash]] in the Game Boy Advance remake) is set up near the lake. [[Blue's Beach Hut]] is the [[Brothers Bear]] location of Cotton Top Cove, located at the start. The [[secret cave]] is Bounty Bay, which is near the first level and to the right of the westernmost waterfall. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] can swim in a body of water to access the hidden secret cave from the world map, much like that of [[Lake Orangatanga]].


Cotton-Top Cove is rather serene looking, filled with various lakes and waterfalls. The manual for ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' describes Cotton-Top Cove as the Northern Kremisphere's best vacation spot because of the areas beautiful scenery. Due to the large amount of water in the area several of Cotton-Top Cove's areas are located underwater among the fish and coral reefs.

Among the waterfalls of Cotton-Top Cove various critters such as [[Bristles]] and [[Krumple]]s roam. Barrels constantly rain down these waterfalls, where they come from is unknown.

Cotton Top Cove (originally spelled as Cotton-Top Cove in the SNES release) is the third world of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, but can also be accessed as the fourth world (and vice-versa for Mekanos). It features a variety of water-themed, including lakes, waterfalls, and deep underwater areas. Near the waterfalls are various stair-like protrusions in the cliff face. A large lake and a long boardwalk are atop the waterfall. The Swanky's Sideshow tent (or Swanky's Dash in the Game Boy Advance remake) is set up near the lake. Blue's Beach Hut is the Brothers Bear location of Cotton Top Cove, located at the start. The secret cave is Bounty Bay, which is near the first level and to the right of the westernmost waterfall. Dixie and Kiddy can swim in a body of water to access the hidden secret cave from the world map, much like that of Lake Orangatanga.

The manual for Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! describes Cotton Top Cove as the Northern Kremisphere's best vacation spot because of the scenery. Due to the large amount of water in the area, several of Cotton Top Cove's areas are located underwater among the fish and coral reefs. However, Kremling remnants led by KAOS chased all tourists away.[1][2]
