K3

K3 is a large frigid mountain ventured through by Dixie and Kiddy Kong during the events of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.

K3, like any high-up mountain is covered in snow and ice and constantly wracked by blizzards and snow storms. Due to the large amount of ice sledding seems to be one of the many ways to travel K3, the elusive Lemguins also make use of all the ice, they slide on their bellies to travel on it.

Along with it's large snow fields K3 also has many rocky cliffs and crevices, some of which the Kongs had to scale on their adventure. The area also has a large waterfall running through it, that somewhat bizzarely has barrels raining down from it. These barrels are possibly falling from a nearby factory with a somewhat moody security system.

The area seems to be a somewhat of a minor vacation spot due to the many cabins seen in it, both in the levels and in the backround of the mountains various pine-tree forests.

The aptly named Blizzard Bear is found in a cabin in K3, the Kongs can do him a favor by delivering a gift for him. The area's boss, an evil snowman named Bleak is found in a nearby snowfeild to the north-east of the area. Oddly this snowfeild actually looks like it is frowning.

K3's Banana Bird Cave is located to the north-western tip of the area, it is only accessible on a secret path near Blizzard's Basecamp.

K3 is the only area in Donkey Kong Country 3 that has the enemies Krosshair and Lemguin in it.
