List of Levels
Note that the following table lists the levels in the original order on the SNES version of the game.

Differences in the GBA Port
There are many differences between the SNES version and the GBA version.


 * Wrinkly Kong is now only located in Wrinkly's Retreat next between Funky's Rentals and Bazaar's General Store.
 * The other areas where Wrinkly was is now replaced by Cranky's Dojo where the player can play a minigame to earn a Banana Bird.
 * The original soundtrack of the game, which was notably darker in tone in most of the levels, had been replaced by a lighter-toned soundtrack that was composed by David Wise, who composed the soundtrack of the two first Donkey Kong Countries, but only had a limited involvement with the soundtrack of the third on the SNES, which was in majority composed by Eveline Fischer.
 * The game introduces the new area, Pacifica, which is the 7th area, between Razor Ridge and KAOS Kore.
 * 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 and he will give Dixie and Kiddy a Banana Bird.
 * Funky Kong now has four minigames, depending on how many vehicles the player can rent.
 * Swanky Kong now runs a virtual reality machine where only Dixie Kong can play. The player has to collect a certain number of stars to earn a Banana Bird. Also, Swanky wears the same attire that he wore in Donkey Kong Country 2, unlike the original, where his outfit was different.
 * After beating Mekanos and Cotton-Top Cove, the player now has the option of being in either K3, Razor Ridge, and Pacifica.
 * Barbos has been relocated to Pacifica while Kroctopus, a new boss, now inhabits Razor Ridge.
 * The houses that the Brothers Bear 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 20.
 * The game also borrows several elements from Donkey Kong Land III, the original Game Boy counterpart to the SNES version. These include automatically getting the DK Coin after defeating Koin.
 * Oddly, Blizzard is now a grizzly bear, as opposed to the original, where he was a polar bear.
 * The boss Squirt now has more attacks and has been made harder to defeat.
 * The level Fish Food Frenzy has been slightly extended.
 * When a DK Coin is collected it tells the player how many more are left.
 * The Re-Koils move much faster.
