In 2007, the original version was ported to the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]]. On November 25, 2012, for reasons unknown, ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' and the previous two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games 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> on October 30, 2014, the games were relisted in Europe and Australia. Around the same time, ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' was released for the [[Wii U]] Virtual Console in Europe and Australia in October 2014, and in the United States and Canada in February 2015. For handhelds, the game was ported exclusively to the [[Nintendo 3DS#New Nintendo 3DS|New Nintendo 3DS]] Virtual Console in 2016.

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.

|Although usually an enemy, Nibbla serves as an Animal Friend through the level, [[Fish Food Frenzy]], and must follow the Kongs throughout the whole level. While it is helpful in some cases (eating enemies such as [[Koco]]s), it can also attack the Kongs if not properly fed. Feeding it [[Lurchin]]s makes the fish more likely to attack the Kongs, and not feeding it at all can also make it attack them.

|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|Krack-Shot Kroc]]. He appears in all factory levels of the game.

|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.

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.

=== Barrels ===

|These uncommon, invisible barrels hide in every level in the first two worlds. They can warp the Kongs 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.

|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 Kongs jump in them at the wrong time, they can be shot into an enemy. These barrels only appears in the level [[Creepy Caverns]].

|Steel Barrels previously appeared in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Unlike regular barrels, Steel Barrels do not break if they hit a wall. The Kongs can ride a Steel Barrel if they jump on one as it is rolling. Steel Barrels are required to defeat Koins.

| This special barrel only appear in the level [[Rocket Rush]], where the Kongs must use this barrel to fly up cliffs infested with Buzzes. 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.

*'''MERRY''' – All bonus levels will have a Christmas theme, turning [[Star (Donkey Kong Country series)|Stars]] into ornaments and [[Green Bananas]] into presents. Additionally, different bonus level music will play. If entered before starting a new file, the effects will be permanent to that file; if entered before starting an existing file, the effect only lasts until the game is reset.

*'''ERASE''' – The record time for [[Riverside Race]] will be deleted on all files.

*'''TUFST''' – All [[Star Barrel]]s are removed. If entered before starting a new file, almost all [[DK Barrels]] will additionally be removed; the effects will be permanent to that file. If entered before starting an existing file, the effect only lasts until the game is reset. If the game is fully beaten with this code activated from the start, the player will have a score of 105% instead of the standard 103%.

*'''AQUA''' – Players get all 98 Bonus Coins for any new game file.

*The last level in [[Lake Orangatanga]], [[Belcha|Belcha's Barn]], which takes place inside of a mill, had a factory background in the original [[SNES]] version for some reason. The background was changed in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version to a mill background to match with where the battle takes place.
