'''Lakeside Limbo''' is the first level of the third addition to the ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is also located in [[Lake Orangatanga]].
'''Lakeside Limbo''' is the first level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' It is located in the first world, [[Lake Orangatanga]]. This level takes place on a series of boardwalks hanging over a large body of water. As the first level, Lakeside Limbo does not feature any unique obstacles or hazards. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] can use their [[team up]] ability early in the level to reach above for bonus items. There are a few basic enemies in the level, including [[Sneek]]s, [[Kobble]]s, and a single [[Booty Bird]]. There are a few segments where the Kongs can swim in the lake below. The Kongs can optionally break open an [[Animal Crate]] of [[Ellie|Ellie the Elephant]] during the latter half of the level, and they can ride on her in some later parts of the level.
==Layout==
[[File:Lakeside Limbo GBA Kobbles.png|thumb|left|Lakeside Limbo in the Game Boy Advance version]]
At the beginning of the level, the Kongs start under a small tunnel, which leads to a tunnel supported by large stilts. After the tunnel, there are long sets of boardwalks over the lake with Sneeks, a [[barrel]], and the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]]. The player can then climb up a small ledge to reach the first Kobble and a formation of bananas creating the letter R. The next section has some tightropes, and on the boards below the ropes, there is a [[Koin]] and the letter O.  The player must then go downwards through a straight pathway to some Kobbles in a small alcove with a tightrope. Continuing to the other side reveals a tunnel with a [[Star Barrel]].


This level takes place on a series of boardwalks hanging over a large body of water. As the first level in the game, Lakeside Limbo does not feature any unique obstacles or hazards, so the [[Kong]]s should have no trouble at all making their way to the end of the stage. There are a few [[Sneek]]s and [[Kobble]]s throughout the area, as well as a single [[Booty Bird]], although they shouldn't give the Kongs much of a problem either, as they can be defeated with a simple [[jump]]. The monkeys can also ride [[Ellie the Elephant]], in her debut, in the later half of the level.
About halfway into the level, there is a DK Barrel and a large gap of water that must be swum through to reach another boardwalk. There, the player can find a Kobble and a small gap with the letter N above it. A pathway leading to a ledge is also located nearby. Jumping off this ledge causes the Kongs to land on a crate with Ellie in it. Near Ellie's crate, the player should defeat a Booty Bird to earn the letter G. After climbing over a raised piece of the boards, the Kongs reach a flat surface with a lone Kobble and [[No Animal Sign]]. Afterwards, the player can reach the [[Level Flag]] located nearby the sign.

== Level Layout ==
==Enemies==
At the beginning of the level, the apes will find themselves under a small tunnel. They should exit it and go through one more tunnel, supported by large stilts. If they travel farther, they will head along a large set of boardwalks over the lake, meeting several Sneeks one the way. They will also pass the level's first Kobble as they approach a formation of bananas creating the letter R. Soon, the apes will come up to some tightropes. On the boards below the rope, they will encounter the level's [[Koin]], as well as the letter O under another short tightrope. If they choose to continue from this point, they will head down the strait pathway to some Kobbles in a small alcove. They can simply get over these enemies by using the tightrope above them. Once they pass these enemies, they will find a tunnel. On the other side of this tunnel, they will find a [[Star Barrel]].

About halfway into the level, the Kongs will find a large gap of water between to areas of the wharf. To continue, they will have to swim through the water and jump out onto another set of boardwalks. There, they will find a small gap with the letter N above it. Near this, they will find a mostly-flat pathway leading to a ledge. Jumping off of this ledge will cause the monkeys to land on a crate with Ellie in it. They should free the elephant and continue, riding on her. Near Ellie's crate, the group will meet a Booty Bird flying in the air. Ellie or one of the monkeys should pick up a nearby barrel to defeat it, giving them the letter G. Farther into the level, they will move along a flat surface and pass a lone Kobble to find a [[No Animal Sign]]. It will make Ellie disappear. Not too long from this sign, the heroes will find a flagpole. Raising its flag can end the level.

They can merely jump into the barrel above the water although they can pass it to get an [[Extra Life Balloon]] and a couple of [[Bear Coin]]s. This Bonus Barrel will take the monkeys, as usual, into a Bonus Level, which involves them collecting fifteen [[Green Banana]]s by using a rope with a time limit of thirty seconds. Once enough bananas are collected, a Bonus Coin will appear nearby.

#Right under the letter O, the apes will be able to find the level's [[Koin]], as well as a [[Steel Barrel]]. The Koin will have the [[DK Coin]], but will not give it up without a fight. So, the Kongs will need to pick up the Steel Barrel and stand on the foe's shield. This will make the enemy put his attention on the heroes above him, who should then throw the Steel Barrel at a wall. The object will bounce off of the wall and hit the distracted Koin in the side, defeating him. This will give the monkeys the DK Coin.
Right under the letter O, the Kongs can find the [[Koin]] and a [[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]]. The Kongs must pick up the Steel Barrel and throw it behind Koin on either side, whether it is facing left or right.

The Kongs can go down the opened gap to enter a [[Bonus Barrel]]. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs must collect fifty [[star (Donkey Kong franchise)|star]]s within twenty seconds by using a horizontal rope in an open area. After the Kongs collect all the stars, the [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]] appears.
*'''''Grab 15 Bananas!''''': To reach the second Bonus Barrel, the Kongs must swim under a boardwalk with the letter N. They must continue forward and jump out the water and into the Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 30 seconds to collect 15 [[green banana]]s, which individually appear around a horizontal rope. After the Kongs collect every banana, the Bonus Coin appears.

Lakeside Limbo is the first level of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! It is located in the first world, Lake Orangatanga. This level takes place on a series of boardwalks hanging over a large body of water. As the first level, Lakeside Limbo does not feature any unique obstacles or hazards. Dixie and Kiddy can use their team up ability early in the level to reach above for bonus items. There are a few basic enemies in the level, including Sneeks, Kobbles, and a single Booty Bird. There are a few segments where the Kongs can swim in the lake below. The Kongs can optionally break open an Animal Crate of Ellie the Elephant during the latter half of the level, and they can ride on her in some later parts of the level.

Layout[edit]

Dixie and Kiddy hold on a horizontal rope above two Kobbles in Lakeside Limbo in the Game Boy Advance remake
Lakeside Limbo in the Game Boy Advance version

At the beginning of the level, the Kongs start under a small tunnel, which leads to a tunnel supported by large stilts. After the tunnel, there are long sets of boardwalks over the lake with Sneeks, a barrel, and the letter K. The player can then climb up a small ledge to reach the first Kobble and a formation of bananas creating the letter R. The next section has some tightropes, and on the boards below the ropes, there is a Koin and the letter O. The player must then go downwards through a straight pathway to some Kobbles in a small alcove with a tightrope. Continuing to the other side reveals a tunnel with a Star Barrel.

About halfway into the level, there is a DK Barrel and a large gap of water that must be swum through to reach another boardwalk. There, the player can find a Kobble and a small gap with the letter N above it. A pathway leading to a ledge is also located nearby. Jumping off this ledge causes the Kongs to land on a crate with Ellie in it. Near Ellie's crate, the player should defeat a Booty Bird to earn the letter G. After climbing over a raised piece of the boards, the Kongs reach a flat surface with a lone Kobble and No Animal Sign. Afterwards, the player can reach the Level Flag located nearby the sign.

Enemies[edit]

Items and objects[edit]
