'''''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''''' is the third game in the popular ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' game series. It is the sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. It also has a semi-sequel for the [[Game Boy]], ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', as well another sequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', for the [[Wii]]. The game stars [[Dixie Kong]] and her little cousin, [[Kiddy Kong]], as they travel through the numerous lands of the [[Northern Kremisphere]] in order to rescue [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] from the [[Kremling Krew]] and their new leader, [[KAOS]].


A remake of the game was released for the [[Game Boy Advance]] on November 7, 2005 with new features, most noticeably six new stages and an all-new soundtrack specially designed for the Game Boy Advance sound system. Also, on December 24, 2007, the game was released on the [[Virtual Console]] for the Wii in North America. On December 25, it was released in Europe and Australia.
==Storyline==
Months after the defeat of the Kremling Krew in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', the Kongs are still celebrating. Both [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]], with [[Dixie Kong]] occasionally joining them, often sit around the beach on hammocks with banana shakes. One day, however, Dixie Kong, surprisingly finds Diddy's room deserted. Knowing that it wasn't normal for him to be gone so early, she notices a note from Diddy on the table. After reading the note, she learns that the two had gone to the islands to explore. Dixie searches for them, expecting them to be no farther than the beach.
Searching all day, Dixie does not find the two Kongs, thinking that she had just followed one of their schemes. Hoping that they were having fun, she goes to sleep, but only wakes up to find that Diddy is still missing. Dixie begins to worry as days pass without her seeing a trace of the two apes. Knowing that she needs to do something, Dixie heads to [[Wrinkly Kong]]. She suggests that the monkeys are with [[Funky Kong]] at his beach shop. After Wrinkly teaches Dixie about [[Banana Bird]]s, the young ape heads out to find Funky's Rentals. At the rental shop, Dixie meets Funky, who explains that he has not had any customers other than Kiddy Kong. Dixie decides to bring Kiddy along with her, as she goes on a search for the missing Kongs. Funky allows them to use his [[Motor Boat]], which they use to search for Donkey and Diddy Kong.
[[File:LakeOranga.png|thumb|The Kongs about to fight [[Belcha]].]]
The monkeys use their new boat to travel a short way off the ocean to a small lake called [[Lake Orangatanga]]. Here, they travel through mills, by the lakesides, and in the snowy peaks. The Kongs also meet [[Barnacle]] (or [[Bachelor]] in the Game Boy Advance version) on a small island in the middle. If the Kongs search, they can even find the Smuggler's Cove, where a precious [[Banana Bird]] lies. At the most southeastern point of the lake, the monkeys find Belcha, a giant barrel who resides in a large, oblong-shaped barn. Once he is defeated, a cannon shoots the apes out of Belcha's Barn and sends them to the next area.
After defeating Belcha, Dixie and Kiddy enter a dark forest known as the [[Kremwood Forest]]. Through here, they travel through several areas in the trees, mills, and riversides. The monkeys gain a Banana Bird when they beat Brash's record in [[Riverside Race]]. At the edge of the forest, the apes encounter a giant spider named [[Arich]] in his hollow hole in a tree. With the help of barrels, the monkeys soon defeat Arich, leaving the Kongs with a [[Patch (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|patch]]. The monkeys head over to Funky Kong to see if the patch can be made of any good use.
After giving the patch to Funky, he fixes up a [[Hover Craft]] for the apes to use. The Hover Craft allows to heroes to ride over rocks, thus allowing them to travel farther into the Northern Kremisphere. The duo make their way into [[Cotton-Top Cove]] with the new vehicle. In the cove, the heroes meet the Brothers Bear, [[Blue]], who is depressed because nobody has come to his birthday party. However, the apes are unable to cheer him up at the time and they continue, where they head through a few lakes and waterfalls. They also travel across a lake shore, which is infested with [[Klasp]]s. Eventually, rocks blocking the way behind a waterfall sink into the water, and the two apes are able to meet the new boss, [[Squirt]]. Once he is defeated, the heroes obtain a ski, although it doesn't have any use to Funky Kong.
Still searching for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, the monkeys head to a small, polluted island known as [[Mekanos]]. They travel through many factories in this area, as well as some pipelines. They even head up a tree that is being chopped down. The duo also meet [[Bazooka]]. The bear, if given ammunition, shoots the apes to a Banana Bird Cave. Eventually, the monkeys make it to a small building, where they meet KAOS, the supposed leader of the Kremlings. After they beat the robot, they find another ski, but neither Donkey Kong nor Diddy Kong. With both skis in hand, they head to Funky Kong, who uses the items to build a [[Turbo Ski]]. The new vehicle allows Dixie and Kiddy to travel over waterfalls.
[[File:K-3.gif|thumb|left|170px|K3, one of the areas the Kongs explore.]]
The Kongs soon arrive in [[K3]] on their search for the missing apes. After they climb to the top of this snow-capped mountain, they face harsh snow storms; they even have to travel through a waterfall. After traveling through a dangerous factory, they find a bear, [[Blizzard]], in a small basecamp covered in snow. Helping him out, they deliver a present from him to another Brothers Bear, and then they head over to the one of the highest parts of the mountain, where they meet the evil snowman, [[Bleak]]. Even after defeating him, however, the apes do not find Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong; they head on to new areas.
They arrive next at [[Razor Ridge]], a mountainous area filled with many caverns. After passing through one of its caves with the help of [[Quawks the Parrot]], the apes meet Benny, who lets them use his chairlift to progress. On the other side of Razor Ridge, the two monkeys meet [[Björn]], the brother of Benny who also runs a chairlift. Although his lifts are broken, he can fix them if he is given a wrench. The lifts help the heroes reach a Banana Bird Cave. Heading on, Dixie and Kiddy climb more of the dangerous mountains, and then cross a dark lake. After going through the final cavern and climbing a little higher, they find a lake with the overgrown [[Lurchin]], [[Barbos]] (or [[Kroctopus]] in the Game Boy Advance remake). Like Bleak, however, she does not have Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong, and the two monkeys head over to the last accessible area, [[Pacifica]].
When the apes first enter this world, they encounter a series of pipes, which they travel through. At the other end of the pipeline, they meet Barnacle, who gives them a Banana Bird if they give him a certain shell. Heading on, the monkeys head over the lake shore and travel through a series of sunken spruce trees find get back on land. After going through a mountainous part of the world, they make their way into a bigger lake than before, where they surpass the rough underwater currents. They soon go through another set of pipes, and then come up to Barbos, a giant Lurchin. With help from Enguarde, the apes defeat this foe, although they still do not find even a trace Donkey Kong or Diddy Kong. However, after the three areas are complete, the way into a new area, known as [[KAOS Kore]], opens.
The apes ride to the area in their fast Turbo Ski, where they find a large castle on the hilltop. Traveling through jungles, caverns, and riversides full of enemies, they soon make it to the hilltop. Before they can get into the castle, though, they go through a [[Poisonous Pipeline|poisonous pipeline]]. The gases in the pipeline make it harder to progress, but luckily, the monkeys eventually arrive at the castle doors and enter the building. There, they meet KAOS again, and the two sides fight. The apes soon destroy the robot once and for all, but right after, a curtain nearby opens, revealing [[Baron K. Roolenstein]]. The Kremling becomes angered on how the apes ruined his robot, and the fight with the Kongs continues. The Kremling leader is eventually bested, and Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are finally revealed. It is learned that their energy had been used to power KAOS all along. Even with the two apes rescued however, the monkeys' adventure is still not over.
After riding around the series of rocks around Mekanos, a hidden world, known as [[Krematoa]], rises out of the ocean. When the apes enter this area, they encounter more areas to explore. However, many of the levels are blocked off by large rocks. Because of this barrier, the apes decide to pay [[Boomer (Bear)|Boomer]] with their hard-earned [[Bonus Coin]]s to destroy them. As the monkeys go through each of the jungle, mountain, cave, and tree levels in the world, they find several [[cog]]s, which they return to Boomer to power up one of his machines. Once all of the cogs are placed in the device, the submarine, [[Knautilus]], rises in the lake in the center of Krematoa. The apes swim to this submarine, only to find Baron K. Roolenstein again. After they fight this enemy, the Kremling leader flees, and the apes are awarded with a DK Coin.
[[File:BananaBirdQueen.png|thumb|170px|The Kongs free the Banana Bird Queen.]]
The DK Coin given to them becomes part of their collection of coins. After they earn all of the coins, they head over to Funky Kong, who decides to make a new vehicle for them with the DK Coins. The apes allow him to do so, and he creates a [[Gyrocopter]]. As Dixie and Kiddy explore the area in this helicopter, they come up to the [[Banana Bird Queen]], who has been imprisoned by Baron K. Roolenstein. The queen, trapped, asks the heroes to hunt for each of her children, the Banana Birds, who are the only way to break the [[Banana Bird Barrier]]. The primates do so and soon head to Wrinkly, where the birds are kept. When they arrive, the birds pick up the two monkeys and lift them up to the Banana Bird Queen's location. With the birds finally united, the queen is freed from her barrier. In exchange for helping her, the Banana Bird Queen chases Baron K. Roolenstein out of the Northern Kremisphere once and for all.

==Gameplay==
Like the previous installments in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' follows a "tag-team" system. This way, the two playable Kongs follow each other through each level. The monkey in the front of the group is the one in play. If this Kong is hit by an enemy, he or she is injured and runs away from the small group. When this happens, the lone hero must watch out for all obstacles, as if that player is injured, a life is lost. Missing Kongs can be recovered from [[DK Barrel]]s, but there are only a few of these objects in every level. When one of the heroes are freed from a DK Barrel, he or she goes to the back of the line and follows the other Kong. At this point, the monkey in the back does not go to the front of the line unless the ape in the lead is hit by an enemy, or if the player presses the select button on the controller.
===Kong Abilities===
[[File:BarrelRides65.png|thumb|left|Dixie runs on a rolling barrel.]]
The object of the game is to reach the end of every level, however, this cannot be done without the apes using some of their trademark abilities. The two Kongs, Kiddy and Dixie, both have different special abilities, although their basic abilities are mostly the same. Both apes are able to swim, [[jump]], climb, and move. They can use their jumping abilities to defeat enemies or cross gaps, and also use their climbing abilities to maneuver on the game's various ropes. When swimming, however, neither of these moves can be used. Another way to attack on land besides jumping is rolling. The attack can knock foes off of the stage easily, although some enemies, such as Bristles, are almost completely immune to this attack. Additionally, if the apes are to roll off of a ledge and jump in mid air, they preform a super-jump. The duo is also able to balance on moving [[Steel Keg]]s, which ram into foes are they ride on it.
[[File:ImageDKC365.png|thumb|Kiddy protecting himself from a [[Krimp]] with a barrel.]]
As stated before, both apes have different special abilities. The most notable ability, used by Dixie Kong, is the [[Helicopter Twirl]], which Kiddy Kong is unable to perform. This move allows Dixie to propel through the air until she hits the ground. Although Kiddy doesn't have this move, his strength makes up for the loss. He can throw barrels much faster than Dixie, as well as defeat foes that his partner cannot defeat alone. Another advantage Kiddy has is how he holds objects such as barrels. While Dixie holds objects over her head, Kiddy Kong holds them in front of his body, protecting himself. Therefore, if an enemy is to hit into him as he holds an object, it is likely that the attack won't hurt him at all, and it defeats the foe instead. Although not used too often in the game, Kiddy can also jump on water a few times while rolling. This can help the heroes reach high areas atop the water.
[[File:Image2DKC365.png|left|thumb|Dixie about to throw Kiddy into a [[Bonus Barrel]].]]
There are also some moves that both Kongs are needed to use, such as the [[Team-up]] move. When using this move, one monkey picks up the other and puts them on his or her shoulders. Then, they can throw that Kong into enemies or into high areas. Because of Kiddy's weight, Dixie is hardly able to hold the large ape. As a result, she cannot throw him too far. However, if she throws him upwards and lets him fall onto the ground, the toddler can break through the ground and find hidden items. When Kiddy teams up with Dixie and carries her, he is able to easily maneuver around, as he is quite strong. He can also throw her much farther, although she cannot break through the ground. Additionally, when both Kongs are around, Dixie can throw Kiddy into a wall, causing the toddler to bounce back. When this happens, she can jump on him as if he were a Steel Keg and ram into most enemies.
===Special Areas===
''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' is filled with various special areas, where the heroes can meet the other Kongs and [[Brothers Bear]]s around the island to help out.
[[File:BananaBirdCave.png|thumb|Inside a Banana Bird Cave.]]
*'''Banana Bird Caves:''' Each of these caves contain a Banana Bird. However, the only way to get the bird is to hit a series of crystals in the right order.
*'''Brothers Bear Cabins:''' There are several cabins in the game, one for each of the Brothers Bears. In them, the apes can talk to the bears and help them complete a trade to earn [[Banana Bird]]s.
*'''[[Funky's Rentals]]:''' This is where the apes can rent vehicles made by Funky Kong to travel through the Northern Kremisphere. He allows them to use his [[Motor Boat]] at the beginning of the game, but after the apes gather up special items for him, he is able to make a Hover Craft, a Turbo Ski, and a Gyrocopter for them to ride in. In the Game Boy Advance remake of the game, Funky hosts Bonus Games with some of those vehicles. If they are all completed, a Banana Bird is earned.
*'''[[Cranky's Dojo]]:''' Exclusive to the Game Boy Advance remake, Cranky's Dojo replaces [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]] from the original version of the game. The heroes can meet [[Cranky Kong]] here and play a special Bonus Game for a Banana Bird at the price of two Bear Coins. The game involves moving Cranky Kong so that he can block the incoming Spinies.
*'''[[Swanky's Dash]]:''' Another area exclusive to the Game Boy Advance remake replaces [[Swanky's Sideshow]] from the original game. At Swanky's Dash, Dixie Kong can play a Bonus Game for a few Bear Coins, where she must run through a pipeline, avoiding obstacles and trying to collect a certain number of stars. If the Bonus Game is completed, the apes earn some special collectibles.
*'''[[Swanky's Sideshow]]:''' This is where the monkeys can play another special Bonus Game, exclusively found in the Super Nintendo version of the game. For a few Bear Coins, the apes can face Cranky here in a ball tossing Bonus Game.
*'''[[Wrinkly's Save Cave]]:''' This area, only found in the original version of the game, is where the Kongs' game can be saved. One appears in each word, as well as in the overworld. Wrinkly is always found here, and she is either exercising, playing her [[Nintendo 64]], or sleeping.
*'''[[Wrinkly's Retreat]]:''' This area is located just before Funky's Rentals, where Wrinkly resides throughout the game. The Kongs' Banana Birds are kept here.
==Items and Objects==

| align="center" |[[File:BarrelN65.gif]]
![[Barrel|Normal Barrel]]
|The most common barrels of the game, these can be used to defeat enemies and sometimes find hidden Bonus Areas. They can be picked up by Ellie and Quawks, who can then roll them on the ground to hit some enemies. Ellie can also suck the barrels in towards her if the player presses Y.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:DKBarrel.gif]]
![[DK Barrel]]
|These common barrels returning from the first two games help revive a Kong who has been injured. There are at least two in each level, although some later levels have even more. They are often found at the very beginning of levels and right after the Star Barrel.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BonusBarrel65.gif]]
![[Bonus Barrel]]
|Two or three of these special barrels appear in every level, sending the Kongs to [[Bonus Level]]s. They are usually well hidden or hard to reach, due to the fact that their reward is so big. The Kongs also break out of these barrels once they exit the bonus.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:StarB65.gif]]
![[Star Barrel]]
|These barrels return from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, doing exactly as before. They appear at the middle of every level, and when hit, sparkle, signaling that a checkpoint has been activated. If both Kongs are lost, or they fall into a pit, the apes are returned to the Star Barrel.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:WarpBarrel65.gif]]
![[Warp Barrel]]
|These uncommon, invisible barrels hide in every level in the first two worlds. They can warp the heroes to the end of some levels. All but two require a team throw to reach, and most of them require Kiddy to throw Dixie. The ones in [[Springin' Spiders]] and [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]] can be reached by both Kiddy and Dixie.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:EllieBarrel.gif]]
![[Animal Barrel]]
|These common barrels return from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', and they have the exact same function. They transform the apes into the Animal Buddy pictured. The bottom left side of the screen should hold a picture of the Animal Buddy, signaling that the helper can take two hits before being defeated.
|-

|These semi-common barrels are similar to Auto-Fire Barrels, but they only shoot the Kongs upwards, or forwards if the barrel is turned. They are often found in levels taking place by a waterfall and are commonly needed to jump over Buzzes.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SwitchBarrel.gif]]
![[Switch Barrel]]
|These rare barrels only appear in three levels: [[Blazing Bazukas]], [[Criss Kross Cliffs]], and [[Koindozer Klamber]]. They must be touched to change the type of barrel that the Bazukas fire. Usually, it turns TNT Barrels into normal barrels, although it sometimes turns into Steel Kegs or TNT Barrels instead, which are needed to defeat Koins and red Buzzes.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:IBarrel65.gif]]
![[! Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels temporarily give the Kongs invincibility. They are often found hidden in hard to reach places, but losing a Kong to grab one is often worth it. The monkeys can use the effects of the barrel to jump on red Buzzes, Kuff 'n' Klouts, and other invincible enemies.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:TrackerBarrel.gif]]
![[Tracker Barrel]]
|This uncommon barrel appears in only two levels, [[Tracker Barrel Trek]] and [[Barrel Drop Bounce]]. In these levels, the heroes must use the barrels to traverse the falls. Luckily, the barrels follow the Kongs' movements to ensure that they cannot fall. The only danger of these barrels is that they often lead to Buzzes.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BoosterBarrel65.png]]
![[Booster Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels shoot out flames from the bottom, which send the Kongs upwards. Once the barrel reaches its highest point, it blasts them out. They commonly appear in levels near waterfalls, and are often seen as access to Bonus Areas.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SteelKeg.gif]]
![[Steel Keg]]
|This item first appears in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', but appears again in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. They are basically unbreakable barrels, capable of taking out many enemies in their path. The kegs are needed to defeat Koins.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Ghost Barrel.gif]]
![[Ghost Barrel]]
|These barrels are similar to the arrowed Barrel Cannons, except that they disappear and reappear at various occasions. Sometimes, they appear in different positions, so if the apes jump in them at the wrong time, they can be shot into an enemy.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:RocketBarrel.gif]]
![[Rocket Barrel]]
| These special barrels only appear in the level, [[Rocket Rush]], where the Kongs must use this barrel to fly up cliffs infested with [[Buzz]]es. It can be controlled by maneuvering left and right. As the Kongs use the exhaust, it depletes fuel and it can be replenished by Fuel Barrels. Depletion occurs quicker if the Kongs make contact with the walls. The Kongs can then get out of the Rocket Barrel after they have landed on a landing platform.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Fuel Tank.gif]]
![[Fuel Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels refill the fuel tank for the Rocket Barrel in Rocket Rush. There are only a few in the whole game, but they can replenish a great amount of fuel for the rocket.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SomethingBarrel.gif]]
![[Ignition Barrel]]
|Only one of this barrel exclusively appears in this level, Rocket Rush. Once the Barrel Rocket hits this barrel, the Rocket Barrel ignites, causing the Kongs to soar upwards, and thus enabling them to finish this level.
|-

==List of Levels==
The game features many levels in which the heroes must travel through to complete the game. The apes have to get to the end of each level, excluding the secret levels in Krematoa, in order to meet Baron K. Roolenstein at Kastle KAOS and rescue [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Every level, excluding boss stages and Rocket Rush, have at least two or three Bonus Levels in them, which are hidden throughout the levels. Note that the following table lists the levels in the original order on the SNES version of the game.

===Animal Buddies===
As with every ''Donkey Kong Country'' game, [[Animal Buddy|Animal Buddies]] appear to help out the monkeys. Several old friends return in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', such as Enguarde, Squawks, and Squitter, and several new ones appear, such as Ellie and Parry. Each buddy helps the apes in a different way, but are only found in certain levels. Below shows the game's Animal Buddies, along with their abilities and their first and last level appearances.

![[Ellie the Elephant]]
|Ellie the Elephant is a new Animal Buddy that replaces [[Rambi]] from the first two games. Ellie is not as strong as Rambi, but she can pick up and suck barrels towards her, which is a useful technique for defeating certain enemies. She can also suck up water from lakes and waterfalls to shoot at enemies. Unfortunately, she is afraid of Sneeks, and she runs away from them at first sight. Ellie is also used in the boss fight against [[Squirt]].

|-
| align="center" |[[File:Nibbla65.png]]
![[Nibbla]]
|Although usually an enemy, Nibbla serves as an Animal Buddy through the level, [[Fish Food Frenzy]], and must follow the apes throughout the whole level. While it is helpful in some cases (eating enemies such as [[Koco]]s), it can also attack the heroes if not properly fed. Feeding it [[Lurchin]]s makes the fish more likely to attack the apes, and not feeding it at all can also make it attack them.
| align="center" |[[Fish Food Frenzy]]
| align="center" |[[Fish Food Frenzy]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:ParrotmanthingDonkeyKongCountryThree.png]]
![[Parry the Parallel Bird]]
|Parry is a new non-playable Animal Buddy that is a big help to the Kongs, in terms of finding hidden objects. As his name suggests, he is always parallel to the Kongs and usually has enemies waiting for him. He can easily defeat [[Booty Bird]]s, but can be defeated by any other enemy, especially [[Buzz]]es. The Kongs go though many challenges to reach the buddy's [[No Animal Sign]], but if they do make it to the sign, the monkeys usually get a large reward, such as a blue Extra Life Balloon or [[Bonus Barrel]].

| align="center" |[[File:Quawks Sprite.png]]
![[Quawks the Parrot]]
|Quawks is a purple sub-species of Squawks found only in two levels, [[Low-G Labyrinth]] and [[Buzzer Barrage]]. Unlike [[Flapper]], another Squawks sub-species, he can fly, but cannot spit eggs. Instead, he has the ability to pick up and roll barrels, which can be proven very useful.
| align="center" |[[Low-G Labyrinth]]
| align="center" |[[Buzzer Barrage]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Squawkssprite65.png]]
![[Squawks the Parrot]]
|Squawks is much like Quawks, however, he is able to shoot eggs at enemies, an ability Quawks does not possess. He can also fly through the many levels of the game easily and attack any enemies, usually Buzzes, that are in the way. However, he can not pick up barrels when being played as.

![[Squitter the Spider]]
|Squitter returns from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', acting exactly as he did previously. He can create web platforms to reach higher areas and spit webs to defeat enemies, usually [[Bristles]]. As in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', Squitter has a level dedicated to himself, known as [[Krack Shot Kroc]]. He appears in all factory levels of the game.

===Brothers Bears===
Throughout the game, the monkeys can find several cabins that are home to Brothers Bears. Most of these bears are facing a certain problem, and the monkeys must trade items with them to help them and earn Banana Birds. The table below shows each of these bears and a description on them.

| align="center" |[[File:BachelorBear.png]]
![[Bachelor]]
|This Brothers Bear lives on a small island in the center of Lake Orangatanga, where Barnacle had originally been in the Super Nintendo version. He wants a rose and a box of chocolates for his girlfriend, but needs the help of the Kongs to get them. After they help him out, Bachelor gives them a Banana Bird. Also, upon meeting him, the apes are given the Flupperius Petallus Pongus flower, which Bachelor has no use for.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Baffle65.PNG]]
![[Baffle]]
|This code-breaker resides in KAOS Kore. In order to solve one of his codes, the apes have to give him the mirror item, bought by Bazaar for fifty Bear Coins. If the monkeys find out what he is saying, they learn about how to find KAOS Kore's Banana Bird Cave.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Barnacles!65.png]]
![[Barnacle]]
|Barnacle is a shell collector living residing in Pacifica (although he resides in Lake Orangatanga in the Super Nintendo verion). In exchange for a shell, Barnacle gives the apes his Banana Bird, which he is not very fond of anyway.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Barter65.PNG]]
![[Barter]]
|Barter is a Brothers Bear living in a swap shop near K3. The first time the heroes meet him, he appears to look ragged, but if the apes give him the mirror, his appearance slightly changes. In exchange for the mirror, Barter gives the monkeys a No. 6 Wrench to help fix Björn's chairlift.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Bazaar65.png]]
![[Bazaar]]
|Bazaar runs a general store next to Funky's Rentals and Wrinkly's Save Cave. He sells a shell for five coins, a box of chocolates for twenty coins, and a mirror for fifty coins.
|-

![[Bazooka]]
|Bazooka is a veteran of the [[Kremean War]] who resides in Mekanos. He owns a cannon known as "Big Bessie", which must be loaded up with a Bowling Ball to blast the apes to a Banana Bird Cave.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Benny65.PNG]]
![[Benny]]
|Similar to his brother, Björn, Benny runs the chairlifts in Razor Ridge. He allows the apes to use his chairlifts at no charge to cross over to Kong-Fused Cliffs. Unlike most of the other bears, Benny does not need any assistance from the Kongs, nor does he hold a Banana Bird.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Bjorn65.PNG]]
![[Björn]]
|Björn, the brother of Benny, runs the second set of chairlifts in Razor Ridge. However, his are not working; the apes have to offer their help to use them. If they give him the No. 6 Wrench from Barter, he can fix the chairlifts and help them reach a Banana Bird Cave.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Blizzard65.png]]
![[Blizzard (Bear)|Blizzard]]
|After being stuck in K3 due to the snowy weather, Blizzard is unable to reach Blue's birthday party. When the apes find him in the world, he gives them his gift for Blue that the heroes to deliver.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Blue65.png]]
![[Blue]]
|Blue is depressed during the events of the game due to nobody coming to his birthday party. In order to finally cheer him up, the heroes must talk to Blizzard in K3 and get the present from him. After the gift is delivered, Blue cheers up, although he ends up giving the contents of the gift back to the monkeys.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Blunder65.png]]
![[Blunder]]
|Blunder is found in a cabin to the west of the Kremwood Forest. Visiting him is completely optional, although if he is talked to, the monkeys are given the secret on how to find the lost world, Krematoa.

|Boomer is found on the lost world of Krematoa. If the apes give him some of their Bonus Coins, he blows up roadblocks blocking the pathways to secret levels. Cogs are found in these levels, and if they are all placed in one of his machines, the submarine, Knautilus, is revealed in the nearby lake.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Bramble65.png]]
![[Bramble (Bear)|Bramble]]
|Bramble is a Brothers Bear located near Cotton-Top Cove who is interested in plants, but not the machines in Mekanos. Once the machines are shut down on the nearby island and the apes complete Razor Ridge, a Flupperius Petallus Pongus appears near his cabin to pick. In exchange for the flower, he gives the heroes a Banana Bird. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the Flupperius Petallus Pongus is actually given to the apes by Bachelor, and if it is given to Bramble, he gives the Kongs a rose.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Brash65.png]]
![[Brash]]
|This bear is a jock in the Kremwood Forest who holds the record of completing Riverside Race in one minute and fifty seconds. Although he brags to the apes about his feat, the monkeys beat his time in the level, causing the bear to become enraged. As a result of his tantrum, a log in the forest falls into the riverbank, creating a bridge to a Banana Bird Cave.

![[Bazuka]]
|These Kremlings carry large round bazookas, which they use to fire Barrels out of. [[Switch Barrel]]s can be used to change what type of barrels they shoot. A vertical firing Bazuka also appears in Criss Kross Cliffs. Bazukas have a level dedicated to themselves, known as Blazing Bazukas.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:BazzaSprite65.png]]
![[Bazza]]
|These enemies, similar to [[Swoopy]]s, always move from one hole to another. They are located underwater, and are only found in one level in the Super Nintendo version of the game, Bazza's Blockade. They are also found in Sunken Spruce and Ripcurl Reef in the Game Boy Advance version.

| align="center" |[[Ripcurl Reef|Ripcurl<br>Reef]]<br>(GBA version only)
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BootyBirdSprite65.png]]
![[Booty Bird]]
|A round bird enemy that flies in the air during many levels. It attacks by simply flying around areas and trying to hit the Kongs. When defeated, they usually drop special items, such as Banana Bunches and K-O-N-G Letters. The heroes can defeat them by jumping on them or by hitting them with a barrel. Animal Buddies can also attack them.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:BountyBassSprite65.png]]
![[Bounty Bass]]
|This foe is quite similar to Booty Birds, but only appears underwater. It swims back and forth in the coral reefs and tries to hit the apes. When defeated, it drops items for the apes to grab, such a [[Bear Coin]]s. However, only Enguarde can defeat this plump enemy.
| align="center" |[[Bazza's Blockade|Bazza's<br>Blockade]]

|-
| align="center" |[[File:BristlesSprite65.png]]
![[Bristles]]
|This spiky hedgehog enemy can be found commonly in the game. Because of its spikes, it can not be defeated by a jump. Therefore, the only way to defeat it is by using a roll or a barrel attack to hit it. However, the apes must watch for his spikes while rolling into them, as it can still hurt them if they attack the foe's backside.
| align="center" |[[Springin' Spiders|Springin'<br>Spiders]]

|-
| align="center" |[[File:BuzzSprite65.png]]
![[Buzz (species)|Buzz]]
|Buzzes are much like the [[Zinger]] foes from the previous installments in the series, but they appear to be more robotic. These very common foes move around areas, trying to hit the apes. If they are touched, one of the Kongs are damaged and run away, only to be found again in a DK Barrel. Buzzes come in both green and red variations. The green Buzzes can be defeated only by a barrel or by an attack from an Animal Buddy, while the red Buzzes can only be defeated by a TNT Barrel or an Invincibility Barrel.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:Gleamin'BreamSprite65.png]]
![[Gleamin' Bream]]
|Gleamin' Breams are rare enemies that have a very similar appearance to Bounty Basses. They are plump, yellow, underwater foes that give off a beams of light around them. If Enguarde hits them, they do not flee, but instead light up the dark areas of Floodlit Fish. However, they only appear in the said level.
| align="center" |[[Floodlit Fish|Floodlit<br>Fish]]
| align="center" |[[Floodlit Fish|Floodlit<br>Fish]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KarbineSprite65.png]]
![[Karbine]]
|Another uncommon enemy that only appears in Fire-Ball Frenzy. They use their cannons to shoot large fireballs at the heroes. They often follow the Kongs when they are in sight, and they also shoot in a certain pattern. This way, the apes can find out when they are going to shoot. Karbines are always attacking from the background, and therefore cannot be defeated.
| align="center" |[[Fire-Ball Frenzy]]
| align="center" |[[Fire-Ball Frenzy]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KlaspSprite65.png]]
![[Klasp]]
|A Kremling that is similar enemy to [[Kracka]]s, however, they are only found gripping onto long, horizontal ropes. They always try to move with the apes, and the monkeys have to climb fast if they want to escape being blown up by this explosive enemy.
| align="center" |[[Kreeping Klasps]]
| align="center" |[[Criss Kross Cliffs|Criss<br>Cross<br>Cliffs]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Knik-KnakSprite65.png]]
![[Knik-Knak]]
|These common enemies replace [[Flitter]]s and [[Click-Clack]]s from the previous game. They are red beetles that hurt the apes if hit on the side. Jumping on them, however, defeats them. They can often be used as stepping stones for the Kongs to reach higher areas. A rare, yellow variety also appears.
| align="center" |[[Tidal Trouble|Tidal<br>Trouble]]
| align="center" |[[Lightning Lookout]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KnockaSprite65.png]]
![[Knocka]]
|These Kremlings in green barrels are the replacements of [[Klobber]]s from the previous game. They do the same thing as the Klobbers: trying to knock the monkeys into the water or off a cliff. However, they cannot steal anything in this game when hitting the heroes.
| align="center" |[[Tidal Trouble|Tidal<br>Trouble]]
| align="center" |[[Creepy Caverns|Creepy<br>Caverns]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KobbleSprite65.png]]
![[Kobble]]
|A generic Kremling enemy that simply walks back and fourth through areas to attack. If the apes touch it at the side, they take damage, but if they jump on its head, they can easily defeat it. Any cartwheel attack or Animal Buddy attack can also defeat it. Kobbles are very similar to [[Kritter]]s and [[Klomp]]s from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games.
| align="center" |[[Lakeside Limbo]]
| align="center" |[[Kreeping Klasps]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KocoSprite65.png]]
![[Koco]]
|Kocos are the game's basic underwater enemies. Red and green variations of these foes appear; The green Kocos simply swim in place, serving as an obstacle for the Kongs, while the red kinds swim around, trying to hit them. They are very common underwater enemies, but can only be defeated by Enguarde the Swordfish or by the Nibbla buddy.
| align="center" |[[Tidal Trouble|Tidal<br>Trouble]]
| align="center" |[[Poisonous Pipeline|Poisonous<br>Pipeline]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KoinSprite65.png]]
![[Koin]]
|These Kremlings are one of the most common enemies in the game. One appears in every level, and they are always seen guarding a DK Coin, unless the Kongs have already collected the item. They can only be defeated by Steel Kegs, and their shield can easily protect themselves from all attacks. The apes must bounce the barrel off of a wall and trick the Koin to defeat it.
| align="center" |[[Lakeside Limbo]]
| align="center" |[[Rocket Rush]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Koindozer.PNG|55px]]
![[Koindozer]]
|Koindozers are Kremlings that are very similar to Koins, although they do not carry any DK Coins. Unlike Koins, they are not stationary; they chase after the apes with their shields, trying to knock them into gaps and other foes, much like Knockas. However, they can sometimes be used as a platform to reach higher areas. They only appear in Koindozer Klamber, one of the game's final levels.
| align="center" |[[Koindozer Klamber]]
| align="center" |[[Koindozer Klamber]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KopterSprite65.png]]
![[Kopter]]
|These Kremling enemies are usually seen propelling around mountainous levels. They attack by spinning downwards with their blades, trying to hit the heroes. They wear green helmets, and therefore cannot be defeated with a jump. In fact, the apes have no way of defeating these uncommon enemies.
| align="center" |[[Buzzer Barrage]]
| align="center" |[[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole<br>Panic]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KrimpSprite65.png]]
![[Krimp]]
|Similar to [[Klaptrap]]s and [[Klampon]]s from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, Krimps are common enemies in the game. They move back and forth through various areas and try to bite the Kongs. While their backside is vulnerable to cartwheel attacks, the apes cannot attack them from the front without getting injured. However, a jump can easily defeat them.
| align="center" |[[Skidda's Row|Skidda's<br>Row]]
| align="center" |[[Tyrant Twin Tussle]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KrosshairSprite65.png]]
![[Kroc]]
|This is a very rare enemy that only appears in one level, Krack Shot Kroc. During the level, it tries to target Squitter, the Animal Buddy being ridden on during the level. After it does so, it shoots a fireball at the spider, harming the buddy if he is hit. The Kroc cannot be defeated, and because it cannot be defeat, the hero must deal with it until the end of the level, where a "No Kroc" sign is present.
| align="center" |[[Krack Shot Kroc]]
| align="center" |[[Krack Shot Kroc]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KrumpleSprite65.PNG]]
![[Krumple]]
|These muscular Kremlings replace [[Krusha]]s and [[Kruncha]]s from the first two games in the series. When touched on the sides, or on the head by Dixie, they push the apes out of the way, possibly hitting them into an obstacle. They can only be defeated by being jumped on by Kiddy Kong or by being hit by a barrel. Animal Buddies such as Ellie can also defeat them.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:KuchukaSprite65.PNG]]
![[Kuchuka]]
|A Kremling that is similar in appearance to Knockas and Krackas. Kuchukas only appear in the level [[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]. They appear as purple barrels painted with odd faces. They do not move, but instead throw bombs at the apes from where they are sitting. Kuchukas cannot be defeated.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:Kuff'n'KloutSprite65.PNG]]
![[Kuff 'n' Klout]]
|Another muscular type of Kremling, the Kuff 'n' Klouts always appear with a partner Kuff 'n' Klout, and the two jump through the few levels they appear in. Sometimes, they also try to ram into the apes. They can be defeated by Squitter's webs, but otherwise, the Kongs have to dodge them, as they cannot be defeated in any other way.
| align="center" |[[Stampede Sprint]]
| align="center" |[[Tyrant Twin Tussle]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:LemguinSprite65.png]]
![[Lemguin]]
|These penguin enemies are found in snow levels, where they slide down slopes on their bellies, trying to run into the monkeys. A jump or roll attack can easily defeat them, but if the heroes are hit by them without using an attack, they take damage. Lemguins only appear in Lemguin Lunge.
| align="center" |[[Lemguin Lunge|Lemguin<br>Lunge]]

| align="center" |
|-
| align="center" |[[File:MinkeySprite65.png|40px]]
![[Minky]]
|A monkey enemy that sticks its head out of the side of the inside part of trees. It attacks by throwing acorns at the apes, which must be avoided at all cost since the Minkies cannot be defeated. Sometimes, [[Barrel Shield]]s can block the acorns thrown by these foes.
| align="center" |[[Barrel Shield Bust-Up|Barrel Shield<br>Bust-Up]]
| align="center" |[[Sunken Spruce|Sunken<br>Spruce]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Nibbla65.png]]
![[Nibbla]]
|This underwater enemy, serving as an Animal Buddy in Fish Food Frenzy, is much like [[Snapjaw (fish)|Snapjaws]] and [[Lockjaw]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. They swim through the water under the apes, waiting to attack. If the heroes land in the same body of water that the Nibbla is in, the fish quickly attacks them. Nibblas cannot be defeated.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:Re-KoilSprite65.png]]
![[Re-Koil]]
|This species of Kremling bounces through areas, much like [[Kaboing]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. If the apes run into it, they are damaged, although a simple cartwheel or roll attack can easily defeat the foe. Jumping on the Re-Koil's head can also defeat it.

| align="center" |[[Lightning Lookout|Lightning<br>Lookout]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:ShellMissile-DKC3.png]]
![[Shell Missile]]
|This underwater enemy only appears in Barbos's Barrier. It can be defeated only by luring it at the wall, or on a Lurchin, as these smash it.

| align="center" |[[Barbos|Barbos's<br>Barrier]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SkiddaSprite65.png]]
![[Skidda]]
|These Kremlings are often seen in snow levels, where they slide all over housetops and on icy hills. They are very similar to Kobbles, and can easily be defeated by a roll or cartwheel attack, as well as a jump.
| align="center" |[[Skidda's Row|Skidda's<br>Row]]
| align="center" |[[Lemguin Lunge|Lemguin<br>Lunge]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SneekSprite65.png]]
![[Sneek]]
|These enemies are much like [[Neek]]s from the second game in the series. They simply walk back and fourth through areas and try to hit into the apes. Additionally, they must be defeated in Squeals on Wheels for the Kongs to progress. Ellie the Elephant is also afraid of these foes, and if she notices them, she quickly dashes away.

| align="center" |[[Stampede Sprint|Stampede<br>Sprint]]
|-
| align="center" |[[File:SwoopySprite65.png]]
![[Swoopy]]
|Similar to Bazzas, these foes quickly swoop through the trees in tree levels to attack the apes. Sometimes, however, they crash into the sides of the trees and can be used as platforms to reach higher areas. Jumping on these foes can defeat them.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:TNTKnockaSprite65.png]]
![[Kracka]]
|This rare Kremling enemy can only be found in the Game Boy Advance remake of the game. It acts much like Knockas: jumping out of its barrel when the apes approach and chasing them. However, instead of simply pushing the apes, it explodes when touched, much like [[Kaboom]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2''. The explosion can easily damage a Kong.

====Bosses====
A boss is encountered at the end of each world. Like bosses in other games, they are much stronger than normal enemies and take longer to defeat. The bosses in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' all have different weaknesses. The table below shows a list of the game's bosses and a brief description on them.

|-
| align="center" |[[File:BelchaBarrels.PNG|80px]]
![[Belcha]]
|This giant barrel resides inside an old barn at the end of Lake Orangatanga. He has a tendency to burp when full, hence his name. His way of attacking is spitting barrels out of his mouth. Inside these barrels are yellow Knik-Knaks, which must be thrown into the boss' mouth to make him burp himself into a pit. However, if this isn't done fast enough, the foe might push the apes into a pit first.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Arichsprite65.png|105px]]
![[Arich]]
|Arich is a large, red spider. He is fought at the end of Kremwood Forest in the level, Arich's Ambush. Arich hangs on a tread of web and he attacks by bouncing up and down and spitting venom at the Kongs. Only the barrels can defeat the colossus arachnid, as if thrown to the arachnid's jaw 4 times, he can fall.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Squirtsprite65.png]]
![[Squirt]]
|Squirt is a large, rocky slug who lives on a waterfall. He is found in the Cotton-Top Cove in the level, Squirt's Showdown. Squirt's attacks involve him spitting water at the pachyderm to knock her off the cliffs where the battle takes place. Ellie the elephant can rebound it by sucking water from the waterfall and blasting it into Squirt's eyes.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:KAOSsprite65.png|70px]]
![[KAOS]]
|KAOS is fought in the island, Mekanos. He attacks by exhausting flames to scorch the apes. Eventually, his head floats off of his body, and it fights against the apes separately. It can blast them with a quick laser. Eventually, KAOS stops and spins blades around him to hurt the apes. However, they can use it to their benefit by jump on them and attacking the robot's head. However, robotic arms try to sweep them away as they try to do so. KAOS is fought a second time in Kastle KAOS, with different tactics and moves. The Kongs must use barrels to defeat him, as he does not use his blades anymore. He reveals a new head during this battle, which uses bomb-launchers in its eye. He is still vulnerable to barrels, though.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BleakSnowmanThing.PNG]]
![[Bleak]]
|Bleak appears in the snowy mountain, K3. His method of attacking is popping up in random areas and throwing snowballs at the Kongs. He can also use his hat as a snow cannon, blasting snow boulders out of it later in the battle. The Kongs can defeat Bleak by throwing snowballs at Bleak's amulet.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BarbosBossSprite65.gif|75px]]
![[Barbos]]
|Barbos is a large Lurchin who resides in the area, Razor Ridge. However, she is fought in Pacifica in the Game Boy Advance version of the game. The Kongs must use Enguarde the Swordfish to defeat Barbos, as she is underwater in a red lake. She attacks by sending out Lurchins at Enguarde. Enguarde must smash the Lurchins into the spike balls of Barbos. Once Barbos's body is exposed as a result, Enguarde can smash her body. Barbos can also shoot out [[Shell Missile]]s, which Enguarde can lead to her to attack. After that, she sends spikes that Enguarde must avoid.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:Krocsprite.png|135px]]
![[Kroctopus]] (Game Boy Advance version only)
|Kroctopus replaces Barbos in Razor Ridge in the Game Boy Advance version of the game. The Kongs cannot fight the submerged green creature; instead, they must lead the bombs Kroctopus sends out into the clawed tentacles. After being caught in the bombs several times, Kroctopus gets angrier and attacks faster; however, he can still be defeated the same way.
|-
| align="center" |[[File:BaronKroolEinstein.PNG]]
![[Baron K. Roolenstein]]
|The game's final boss, Baron K. Roolenstein, is fought in Kastle KAOS just shortly after KAOS is dispatched by the Kongs. Baron K. Roolenstein uses his jetpack to fly around and using blasts of electricity to attack the Kongs. The Kongs need to pull a pipe on the ceiling to make a barrel appear. The barrel can then be thrown at Baron K. Roolenstein's jetpack several times to defeat him. He can also be fought again at Krematoa using a fireball launching cannon as well as bolts of electricity to battle the Kongs. He is fought in a similar way here.
|}
==Differences in the Game Boy Advance Port==
There are many differences between the Super Nintendo version and the Game Boy Advance version.
[[File:WrinklysRetreat.png|thumb|The new area, Wrinkly's Retreat.]]
*Wrinkly Kong is now only located in Wrinkly's Retreat, which replaces the first Wrinkly's Save Cave from the original, between Funky's Rentals and Bazaar's General Store. Banana Birds are kept in this area.
*Cranky's Dojo replaces all the other Wrinkly's Save Caves from the original ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. At the dojo, the Kongs can play a Bonus Game to earn a Banana Bird.
*The original soundtrack of the game, which is notably darker in tone in most of the levels, has been replaced by a lighter-toned soundtrack composed by [[David Wise]], who composed the soundtrack of the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, but only had a limited involvement with the soundtrack of the third on the Super Nintendo, which was in majority composed by [[Eveline Fischer]].
*The Brother Bear, Barnacle, is relocated to Pacifica, while Bachelor, a new character that only appears in this port, now takes residence in Lake Orangatanga.
*Anytime after completing Mekanos, the player can visit Bramble to earn a Banana Bird.
*New objects, such as the box of chocolates, have been added to trade amongst the Brothers Bears. Some items must also be traded differently.
*Like in the first two Game Boy Advance remakes for the series, the supporting Kongs have Bonus Games for the heroes to complete. Funky Kong has four new Bonus Games, although the types of games available depends on how many vehicles the heroes can rent, while Cranky and Swanky both have a single Bonus Game.
*Swanky Kong wears the same attire that he wears in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', unlike in the original, where his outfit is different.
[[File:Stormy Seas.PNG|thumb|A new level seen in Pacifica, known as Stormy Seas.]]
*The game introduces the new area, Pacifica, which is the seventh world of the game, located between Razor Ridge and KAOS Kore. The world carries six new levels, as well as all new Bonus Level locations.
*After beating Mekanos and Cotton-Top Cove, the player has the option of playing through either K3, Razor Ridge, or Pacifica to progress, although they all must be completed to beat the game.
*Barbos has been relocated to Pacifica while Kroctopus, a new boss, now inhabits Razor Ridge.
*The houses that the Brothers Bears live in, as well as the bears themselves, have been redesigned. Also, the same music is heard in every house and no longer changes according to the bear. (The music piece is also heard in Funky's Rentals, Swanky's Dash, and Wrinkly's Retreat.)
*There are now five extra Banana Birds to collect, increasing the total to twenty.
*The game also borrows several elements from ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', the original [[Game Boy]] counterpart to the Super Nintendo version. These include automatically getting the DK Coin after defeating the Koin.
*Oddly, Blizzard is now a grizzly bear, as opposed to the original, where he is a polar bear.
*The boss, Squirt, has more attacks and has been made harder to defeat.
*When a DK Coin is collected, it tells the player how many more are left.
*The world maps have been redesigned, and they show a closer view of the Kongs than in the original.
*When Knautilus is unlocked in the Super Nintendo version, the background of areas in Krematoa turns red. However, this does not happen in the Game Boy Advance version.
*The final level, Rocket Rush, has an increased difficulty, as red Buzzes damage the Rocket Barrel when touched, and there is no Star Barrel at any point of the stage.
*The outside of [[Kastle KAOS]] is redesigned, and it no longer has a pink glow emitting from its highest tower.
*Sneeks now make the same sound as Neeks from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' as opposed to their own sound in the original SNES version.
