''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' had fewer sales than the previous two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games because it was released at the end of the Super Nintendo's lifespan, and the Nintendo 64 was released the same year. The game was positively received although the soundtrack received a mixed reception.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20060418080923/http://www.gamespot.com/gba/action/donkeykongcountry3/review.html GameSpot Review, November 14, 2005]</ref>
