Donkey Kong Country 3 is a 2005 remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! for the Game Boy Advance. It features a new world and a new soundtrack composed by David Wise.

Story[edit]

The story is the same as the original's. Unlike the first two Donkey Kong Country games, the remake has no opening sequence, a distinction of which is shared with Super Mario Advance.

Months after the events of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, the Kongs were back at DK Island, still celebrating their victory over the Kremling Krew and Kaptain K. Rool. 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 visited 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 left, Wrinkly asked her to search for Banana Birds along the way.

When Dixie visited Funky, he was busy working on an invention, making use of the various unusual items in the shop. Funky explained to Dixie that Kiddy was the only visitor that he had all week. He pointed across to Kiddy, who was chewing on an old spare tire. Dixie agreed to take Kiddy along with her, and they left. Funky told them to look out for any random items which he can make use of, and he also told them to visit the Brothers Bear for help.[a]

As they traveled through the worlds, Dixie and Kiddy encounter different Kremlings 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 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.

The Kongs eventually discover the lost world, Krematoa, where they meet the local Brother Bear, Boomer. Dixie and Kiddy must recover the five cogs 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 caves 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.

The remake's start-up sequence might show how Donkey Kong and Diddy were captured because it starts underwater from the perspective of a diving mask; the Knautilus suddenly charges into the Nintendo logo, then the Rare logo, and closes in and "swallows" the camera. The next shot shows the title screen and the Knautilus partially submerged in the waters of the Northern Kremisphere.

  1. ^ At the very start of the game itself, Dixie goes to Wrinkly's Retreat. 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.

Meanwhile, his head tries to blast the Kongs with a quick laser. Kaos Karnage
Bleak in Donkey Kong Country 3 for Game Boy Advance. Bleak Bleak appears in the snowy mountain, K3, and his battle consists of a snowball fight. His method of attacking is popping up in random areas and throwing snowballs at the Kongs. Later during the battle, Bleak uses his hat to blast giant snowballs out at the Kongs. The Kongs can attack Bleak by throwing snowballs at his amulet. Bleak's House
Kroctopus in Donkey Kong Country 3 for Game Boy Advance. Kroctopus Kroctopus is a giant green sea monster who replaces Barbos as the boss of Razor Ridge in the Game Boy Advance version. The Kongs cannot directly attack Kroctopus, so they must instead stand at a bomb to trick Kroctopus into extending one of its clawed tentacles at it. The more times Kroctopus is hit, the redder and angrier it gets. Kroctopus is defeated once it claws at bombs enough times. Kroctopus Krush
Barbos Barbos Barbos is a giant Lurchin and the boss of Pacifica. The Kongs are transformed into Enguarde for the entire battle. Barbos attacks by sending out Lurchins at Enguarde. He must counterattack by stabbing the Lurchin into Barbos's shell, exposing its squished body, which Enguarde must then stab to deliver an attack.
