'''''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''''' is the third installment in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series released in November 1996. It was developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]]. It is a sequel and direct follow-up to ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', which followed ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. The game stars [[Dixie Kong]] and her toddler cousin, [[Kiddy Kong]], as they travel through [[Northern Kremisphere]] on an adventure to save [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] from the [[Kremling Krew]] and their new leader, [[KAOS]].

In 2005, a [[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|remake]] of the game was released for [[Game Boy Advance]], and in 2007/2008, the original version was ported to the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii|Virtual Console]]. On November 25, 2012, for reasons unknown, ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' and its predecessors were delisted from the Wii Virtual Console,<ref>[http://gimmegimmegames.com/2012/11/nintendo-removing-all-donkey-kong-country-games-from-virtual-console/ Nintendo removing all ''Donkey Kong Country'' games from Virtual Console - Gimme Gimme Games]</ref> but on October 30, 2014, the games were relisted in Europe and Australia. Around the same time, the games were released for the [[Wii U]]'s [[Virtual Console#Wii U|Virtual Console]] in Europe and Australia, in Japan on November 26, 2014, and in the United States and Canada on February 26, 2015. For handhelds, ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' was ported exclusively to the [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS/New Nintendo 3DS XL|New Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in May/June 2016. It was made available on [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System - Nintendo Switch Online]] for the [[Nintendo Switch]] on December 18, 2020.

==Story==

Months after the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', the [[Kong]]s were back at [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Island]], still celebrating their victory over the [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]] and the [[Kremling]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] often slung up a hammock, played some music, and drank banana milkshakes while soaking up the sun. Dixie often joined alongside them.

One morning, Dixie found that Diddy was not in his room. This surprised her as it was unusual for Diddy to be up so early. She found a note on a table that read:

:''Dear Dixie, Gone exploring the islands with DK, Back tomorrow! --Diddy''

Dixie recalled a few other times where Donkey Kong and Diddy had the same plan, and every time the two Kongs would never travel farther than the beach. Dixie went to look for them at the beach, soon realizing that it was too quiet for them to be nearby. As the sun set, Dixie went to bed. The next morning, Dixie checked Diddy's place and found that he had still not returned. She began worrying over what trouble that Donkey Kong and Diddy got into. The entire day passed and the Kongs still did not return. The third morning, Donkey Kong and Diddy had still not returned, so Dixie went to the southern shores of DK Island and swam to the nearest mainland at the [[Northern Kremisphere]], looking for them.

Dixie briefly visits [[Wrinkly Kong]], who confirmed that she saw Donkey Kong and Diddy pass, but Wrinkly did not know where they went. She suggested that Donkey Kong and Diddy visited [[Funky's Rentals]]. As Dixie leaves, Wrinkly asks her to search for [[Banana Bird]]s along the way.

When Dixie visits Funky, he is busy working on an invention, making use of the various unusual items in the shop. Funky explains to Dixie that Kiddy was the only visitor that he had all week. He points across to Kiddy, who is chewing on an old spare tire. Dixie agrees to take Kiddy along with her, and they leave. Funky tells them to look out for any random items which he can make use of, and he also tells them to visit the [[Brothers Bear]] for help.{{footnote|main|1}}

As they travel through the worlds, Dixie and Kiddy encounter different [[Kremling]]s than before. At the end of [[Mekanos]], the Kongs first encounter [[KAOS]], who was believed to be the new leader of the [[Kremling Krew]] at the time. Later during their adventure, Dixie and Kiddy encounter KAOS again at [[Kastle Kaos]], which is at the end of [[Kaos Kore]]. During the battle, it is revealed that KAOS was a puppet of [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] all along. After defeating Baron K. Roolenstein, KAOS breaks down and releases Donkey Kong and Diddy. It is revealed that they were trapped to be used as a power source.

[[File:Queen Banana Bird DKC3 shot.png|thumb|200px|left|The Banana Queen is freed.]]

The Kongs eventually discover the lost world, [[Krematoa]], where they meet the local Brother Bear, [[Boomer (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Boomer]]. Dixie and Kiddy must recover the five [[cog (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|cog]]s found in each level of Krematoa and return them to [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter]]. Boomer inserts them on a machine, which causes the [[Knautilus]] to rise from the center lake. Dixie and Kiddy enter it and engage in a second boss fight against Baron K. Roolenstein. The Kongs defeat him again, but Baron K. Roolenstein manages to escape again.

After acquiring every [[DK Coin]], the Kongs return to Funky's Rentals, and he builds the [[Gyrocopter]] for them. With the Gyrocopter, the Kongs can access the remaining few [[secret cave]]s to the last of the Banana Birds. After freeing every Banana Bird, they carry the Kongs up in the sky to the [[Banana Queen]]. All of the Banana Birds sing to destroy the [[evil barrier]] that imprisoned the Banana Queen. Dixie and Kiddy's adventure ends with the Banana Queen chasing after Baron K. Roolenstein and dropping a large eggshell on him.

{{footnote|note|1|At the very start of the game itself, Dixie goes to Wrinkly's Save Cave. During the start of the game, neither Wrinkly nor Funky mention Donkey Kong and Diddy. During the first interaction with Funky, he does not mention for Dixie to be on the lookout for random items, nor does he mention the Brothers Bear. This information is found in the instruction booklet only.}}

[[File:Squeals Wheels DKC3 shot 4.png|thumb|left|Dixie runs on a rolling barrel.]]

''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' combines elements from both ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. As a platformer, the objective is for the two playable characters, [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]], to reach the end of every [[level]]. Each world has either five or six levels and a boss level at the end. The boss level must be completed to unlock the next world.

The game retains the tag-team system, where two Kongs appear on-screen and follow each other through a level at the same time. Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong are the playable characters, and the Kong in front is the one controlled by the player. If the lead Kong is hit by an enemy or a hazard, they run away, and the player takes control of the other Kong. If the only Kong in play is also hit, they lose an [[extra life]] and are returned to the world map, where they can re-enter the level. If a Kong is missing, they can be recovered from a [[DK Barrel]], a few of which appear in every level. The player can press the {{button|snes|Select}} button to switch between Kongs.

Some basic moves shared between Dixie and Kiddy include swimming, [[jump]]ing, and climbing. The Kongs can jump to defeat enemies or to go over small gaps. Both vertical and horizontal [[rope]]s are the objects that the Kongs can climb. Dixie and Kiddy cannot perform either move while swimming. Most enemies can also be defeated if the Kongs roll into them. The Kongs can perform a slightly longer jump by rolling off a ledge and jumping in the air.

[[File:Doorstop Dash DKC3 shot 4.png|thumb|Dixie about to throw Kiddy into a [[Bonus Barrel]].]]

Both Dixie and Kiddy have unique abilities which only they can use. Dixie can use her [[Helicopter Spin]] to glide in midair until hitting the ground. She can also use the move on the ground to spin into enemies. Kiddy is slower, stronger, and heavier than Dixie. Kiddy can perform a roll instead of spin. Kiddy holds a barrel in front unlike Dixie, who carries a barrel over her head. By doing so, Kiddy can protect himself from an enemy, which gets defeat upon hitting into the barrel. Kiddy can throw barrels farther than Dixie. In some of the levels, Kiddy can perform a [[Water Skip]] to bounce on the water surface, often needed for reaching higher areas.

A few of the moves involve both Kongs. The [[team up]] move involves Dixie or Kiddy carrying the other Kong on their shoulders, whom they can throw at another enemy or area. The team up works differently depending on which Kong is held. Dixie cannot move fast by carrying Kiddy due to his weight. She can throw Kiddy at a crack in the ground to break it open, allowing them to enter a small area. Dixie can throw Kiddy to a wall and ride onto him to perform a [[Roll Attack]] involving both Kongs. Kiddy can carry Dixie around with ease. He can throw Dixie farther, although she is not heavy enough to break parts of the ground. If Kiddy throws Dixie to a higher platform, both Kongs can move up to there.

The game features greatly expanded map gameplay compared to the previous and following ''Donkey Kong Country'' installments. Unlike previous games where the world maps consisted entirely of linear paths, ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' allows players to freely move while piloting their vehicle on the overworld or in water section of the world maps. This feature allows players to go off the intended path and explore sections of the map to reveal hidden [[Secret cave]]s. The player's original vehicle, the [[Motor Boat]] can initially only access a limited portion of the overworld but as the player progress and defeat bosses, they will collect items that will upgrade the boat and allow it to reach further sections of the map. The game also features a greater amount of sidequests. The [[Northern Kremisphere]] is inhabited by the [[Brothers Bear]], who usually challenge the Kongs to bring them an object or complete some task. Completing the Brothers Bear's errands will reward the Kongs with hints on the game's secrets and items necessary for 103% [[Completion]].

!colspan=5 style="background:saddlebrown;color:white"align=center|'''Kremling Kreeps'''

|style="text-align:center"|[[Bazuka]]

|These Kremlings carry large round bazookas from which they fire barrels. [[Switch Barrel]]s can change the type of barrels they shoot. In Criss Kross Cliffs, there is a Bazuka who vertically shoots barrels, which Dixie and Kiddy must bounce on to progress up the level.

|Klasps are Kremlings who hide in a TNT Barrel while holding on to horizontal [[rope]]s. Klasps always move in the direction of the Kongs, and some Klasps are faster than others.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Knocka DKC3.png]] [[File:DKC3 Knocka run.png]] [[File:DKC3 Knocka roll.png]]

|These Kremlings in green barrels are the successor to [[Klobber]]s from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''. Knockas act the exact same as Klobbers: they try to bump the Kongs into a gap or pit.

|A generic Kremling enemy which is very similar to [[Kritter]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Kobbles move back and forth in a consistent pattern. Kobbles are one of the weakest enemies, leaving them vulnerable to any attack.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Krimp DKC3.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Krimp]]

|Krimps are the game's equivalent to [[Klaptrap]]s and [[Klampon]]s from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games respectively. Krimps are common enemies who move back and forth through areas, repeatedly opening and closing their jaws. Because of Krimps' sharp teeth, the Kongs cannot walk or roll into them from the front or else they take damage. Besides this, Krimps can be defeated using any other method.

|style="text-align:center"|[[Tyrant Twin Tussle]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3 Kroc aiming.png]] [[File:DKC3 Kroc primed.png]] [[File:Kroc DKC3.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Kroc]]

|Only one Kroc appears throughout the game, in the level Krack Shot Kroc, where it is the main obstacle. Kroc attacks by shooting fireballs at Squitter, whom the Kongs are transformed into during the entire level. Kroc is never shown physically, although a crosshair on the screen indicates where Kroc targets and is about to shoot fireballs. Like Karbines, because Kroc is in the background, it cannot be defeated.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Krumple DKC3.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Krumple]]

|These muscular Kremlings replace [[Krusha]]s and [[Kruncha]]s from the first two respective ''Donkey Kong Country'' games. If either the Kongs touch a Krumple or if Dixie jumps onto its head, it pushes the Kongs out of the way, possibly throwing them into an obstacle. Krumples can only be defeated in three ways: having a barrel thrown at it, being jumped on by Kiddy Kong or a team up, or having an Animal Friend attack it.

|style="text-align:center"|[[Rocket Barrel Ride]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Kuchuka DKC3 sprite.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Kuchuka]]

|Kuchukas are a variant of Knockas that hide in a purple barrel while throwing bombs. Kuchukas can only be defeated by a [[TNT Barrel]], and must usually be avoided. They only appear in one level, Pot Hole Panic.

|colspan=2, style="text-align:center"|[[Pot Hole Panic (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Pot Hole Panic]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3 Kuff 'n' Klout stand.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Kuff 'n' Klout]]

|Owls that wield large, fireball-shooting cannons. Karbines only appear and are featured in the level Fire-Ball Frenzy. Karbines often follow the Kongs when they are in sight, and attempt to shoot fireballs at them. Karbines also shoot in a certain pattern, giving the Kongs a chance to figure out how to dodge them. Karbines are always in the background and therefore cannot be defeated.

|This giant barrel resides inside an old barn at the end of Lake Orangatanga. Belcha has a tendency to burp, hence its name. It attacks by spitting barrels out of its mouth. Inside each barrel is a yellow Knik-Knak, which Dixie or Kiddy must throw into Belcha's mouth so that it burps itself backward. If done enough times, Belcha falls into a pit, although if the Kongs are not quick enough, they fall into a pit instead.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Arich DKC3 sprite.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Arich]]

|Arich is a large, red spider and the boss of Kremwood Forest. It hangs on a thread of web and has a pattern of bouncing up and down. Arich attacks by spitting venom at Dixie and Kiddy. Either Kong can attack Arich by throwing a barrel at its face. If this is done four times, Arich is defeated.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Squirt DKC3 sprite.png]]

|Squirt is a large, rocky slug who lives on a waterfall at the end of Cotton-Top Cove. The Kongs are transformed into Ellie during the entire battle.

He must counterattack by stabbing the Lurchin into Barbos's shell, exposing its squished body, which Enguarde must then stab to deliver an attack. Barbos is also capable of firing [[missile shell]]s at Enguarde and shooting spikes in every direction.

|KAOS is fought a second time in Kastle Kaos, with different tactics and moves. KAOS no longer uses his blade attack, and he reveals a new head during this battle, which uses a bomb-launcher on the top. Instead of jumping on KAOS's head, Dixie and Kiddy must attack him by using barrels. Both phases go down after a single hit in this battle.

|The game's final boss, Baron K. Roolenstein, is first fought in Kastle Kaos shortly after the Kongs defeat KAOS. Baron K. Roolenstein uses his jetpack to fly around and uses blasts of electricity to attack the Kongs. Dixie and Kiddy must pull a lever on the ceiling to make a barrel appear. They must then throw the barrel at Baron K. Roolenstein's jetpack to attack him. Baron K. Roolenstein is fought again at Krematoa, where he uses a fireball launching cannon and bolts of electricity to attack the Kongs.

|style="text-align:center"|[[Banana]]s

|Bananas are the most commonly found item in the game, and collecting 100 of them gives the Kongs an extra life. Bananas can also help direct the Kongs to their destinations in a level.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Banana Bunch DKC SNES.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Banana Bunch]]es

|Banana Bunches are similar to normal bananas, however, they are worth ten bananas instead of one and are uncommon. Because of this, collecting the bunches can allow the Kongs to get extra lives much faster.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Red Extra Life Balloon DKC3.png]] [[File:Green Extra Life Balloon DKC3.png]] [[File:Blue Extra Life Balloon DKC3.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Red Balloon|Extra]]-[[Green Balloon|Life]] [[Blue Balloon|Balloon]]s

|Extra-Life Balloons are important items in the game. When collected, they give the Kongs extra lives. There are three color variations: red, green, and blue. The [[Red Balloon]]s give the Kongs one extra life, while the uncommon [[Green Balloon]]s give them two. The rare [[Blue Balloon]]s give them three extra lives.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DK Coin sprite.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[DK Coin]]s

|These items are found in every level, except for boss levels (not counting [[Knautilus]], since a DK Coin is earned after clearing that level). Each of them are guarded by [[Koin]]s (except for the Knautilus DK Coin), whom the Kongs must defeat to get the coin. With all the coins, Funky Kong can make a Gyrocopter to take the Kongs to the [[Banana Queen]].

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Bonus Coin.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]]

|These items are earned by completing bonuses that are hidden throughout each level of the game, while others are earned by defeating certain bosses. They are vital for accessing the levels in [[Krematoa]].

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Cog.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Cog (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Cog]]s

|Each level in Krematoa gives the player a cog when it is completed.

When each one is given to the bear, the Kong can fight Baron K. Roolenstein in his submarine, Knautilus.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Bear Coin.png]]

|style="text-align:center"|[[Green banana]]s

|Green bananas are important types of bananas only found in [[Bonus Level]]s. In some of these Bonus Levels, the Kongs have to collect fifteen green bananas in order to win a Bonus Coin. However, the bananas appear and disappear at random, making it tougher to grab the objects. Green bananas are replaced by presents when the "MERRY" cheat is activated.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Star DKC3.png]] [[File:DKC3-XmasOrnament.png]]

===Trade items===

The game features several items that must be traded between the Brothers Bear in order for the Kongs to collect all of the [[Banana Bird]]s. They are required to trade if the Kongs want to complete their adventure completely. Note that some items are earned from defeating bosses and do not need to be traded with the bears. Below shows the items and descriptions on them, as well as what the Kongs should do with the objects.
