'''K3''' is a snowy, frigid mountain and the fifth world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. Like any mountain in high altitude, K3 is covered in snow and ice and constantly wracked by blizzards and snowstorms. Because of the setting, most areas, including the boss level, take place in the snow. Due to the slippery surface, sledding is used as a means of traveling through K3: there is one level where the [[Kong]]s use a [[Toboggan]] and a later level featuring [[Lemguin]]s, who move around by sliding on their bellies. K3 also has rocky cliffs and crevices, some of which the [[Kong]]s have to go up. A large waterfall runs through K3, appearing to be flowing into the main [[Northern Kremisphere]] map. Right next to the waterfall peak is a factory that the [[Kremling]]s have relocated to following [[KAOS]]'s defeat in [[Mekanos]].<ref>M. Arakawa.

Security is tight at the factory. There’s even talk about a hired gun working there.''"</ref> The boss of K3 is an evil snowman named [[Bleak]], who is fought at the northeast corner of the world map, which appears to give off a sinister frowning face.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Krevice Kreepers.png]]<br>'''[[Krevice Kreepers]]'''

|The first level of K3, which has a cliffside setting. Here, Dixie and Kiddy must climb up both vertical and horizontal [[rope]]s to reach the top. The main enemy of Krevice Kreepers are the large number of [[Klasp]]s appearing throughout.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Tearaway Toboggan.png]]<br>'''[[Tearaway Toboggan]]'''

|Tearaway Toboggan is the game's second snow-themed level, after [[Skidda's Row]]. As suggested by the level name, Dixie and Kiddy travel through the level in a [[Toboggan]], similar to [[Demolition Drain-Pipe]]. The vehicle moves at fast speed, and the Kongs must prevent it from crashing into objects, including walls and cabins, and enemies, mainly [[Skidda]]s.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Barrel Drop Bounce.png]]<br>'''[[Barrel Drop Bounce]]'''

|This is the final waterfall-themed level in the game. Despite being in K3, the level does not feature any snow or ice. The Kongs must reach the top of the level by jumping on [[tumbling barrel]]s that are sliding down the waterfall.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Krack Shot Kroc DKC3.png]]<br>'''[[Krack Shot Kroc]]'''

|This level takes place in a factory, which is guarded by an off-screen enemy named [[Kroc]]. The Kongs are required to be [[Squitter]] for a majority of the level, and must avoid being blasted from the fireballs shot by Kroc, which is indicated from a cursor following him around in the level. Aside from Kroc, some small lava pits also appear in the area.

|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Lemguin Lunge.png]]<br>'''[[Lemguin Lunge]]'''

|The final regular level of K3, Lemguin Lunge is a snow-themed level that, like Skidda's Row, requires Dixie and Kiddy to venture the level on the slippery, icy surface. As its name suggests, Lemguin Lunge features numerous [[Lemguin]]s, who indefinitely spawn out of holes and then attempt sliding into the Kongs.

|Here, the Kongs fight the world boss, [[Bleak]]. This involves both the lead Kong and Bleak in a snowball fight. To attack Bleak, Dixie or Kiddy must throw at his glowing necklace, but avoid snowballs thrown by him, including large ones that he blasted out from his hat.
