Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!: Difference between revisions

Like the previous installments in the ''Donkey Kong Country'' series, ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' follows a "tag-team" system. This way, the two playable Kongs follow each other through each level. The monkey in the front of the group is the one in play. If this Kong is hit by an enemy, he or she is injured and runs away from the small group. When this happens, the lone Kong must watch out for all obstacles, as if that player is injured, a life is lost. Missing Kongs can be recovered from [[DK Barrel]]s, but there are only a few of these objects in every level. When one of the Kongs is freed from a DK Barrel, he or she goes to the back of the line and follows the other Kong. At this point, the monkey in the back does not go to the front of the line unless the ape in the lead is hit by an enemy, or if the player presses the select button on the controller.

There are also some moves that both Kongs are needed to use, such as the [[Team-up]] move. When using this move, one monkey picks up the other and puts them on his or her shoulders. Then, they can throw that Kong into enemies or into high areas. Because of Kiddy's weight, Dixie is hardly able to hold the large ape. As a result, she cannot throw him too far. However, if she throws him upwards and lets him fall onto the ground, the toddler can break through the ground and find hidden items. When Kiddy teams up with Dixie and carries her, he is able to easily maneuver around, as he is quite strong. He can also throw her much farther, although she cannot break through the ground. Additionally, when both Kongs are around, Dixie can throw Kiddy into a wall, causing the toddler to bounce back. When this happens, she can jump on him as if he were a Steel Keg and ram into most enemies.

*'''[[Swanky's Sideshow]]:''' This is where the monkeys can play another special Bonus Game, exclusively found in the Super Nintendo version of the game. For a few Bear Coins, the apes can face Cranky here in a ball tossing Bonus Game.

|These uncommon barrels temporarily give the Kongs invincibility and they are often found hidden in hard to reach places. The monkeys can use the effects of the barrel to jump on red Buzzes, Kuff 'n' Klouts, and other invincible enemies.

As with every ''Donkey Kong Country'' game, [[Animal Friends]] appear to help out the monkeys. Several old friends return in ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', such as Enguarde, Squawks, and Squitter, and several new ones appear, such as Ellie and Parry. Each friend helps the apes in a different way, but are only found in certain levels. Below shows the game's Animal Friends, along with their abilities and their first and last level appearances.

|Parry is a new non-playable Animal Friend that is a big help to the Kongs, in terms of finding hidden objects. As his name suggests, he is always parallel to the Kongs and usually has enemies waiting for him. He can easily defeat [[Booty Bird]]s, but can be defeated by any other enemy, especially [[Buzz]]es. The Kongs go though many challenges to reach the friend's [[No Animal Sign]], but if they do make it to the sign, the monkeys usually get a large reward, such as a blue Extra Life Balloon or [[Bonus Barrel]].

Throughout the game, the monkeys can find several cabins that are home to the Brothers Bear. Most of these bears are facing a certain problem, and the monkeys must trade items with them to help them and earn Banana Birds. The table below shows each of these bears and a description on them.

|This code-breaker resides in KAOS Kore. In order to solve one of his codes, the apes have to give him the mirror item, bought by Bazaar for fifty Bear Coins. If the monkeys find out what he is saying, they learn about how to find KAOS Kore's Banana Bird Cave.

|Barter is a Brother Bear living in a swap shop near K3. The first time the Kongs meet him, he appears to look ragged, but if the apes give him the mirror, his appearance slightly changes. In exchange for the mirror, Barter gives the monkeys a No. 6 Wrench to help fix Björn's chairlift.

|Blue is depressed during the events of the game due to nobody coming to his birthday party. In order to finally cheer him up, the Kongs must talk to Blizzard in K3 and get the present from him. After the gift is delivered, Blue cheers up, although he ends up giving the contents of the gift back to the monkeys.

|Blunder is found in a cabin to the west of the Kremwood Forest. Visiting him is completely optional, although if he is talked to, the monkeys are given the secret on how to find the lost world, Krematoa.

|This bear is a jock in the Kremwood Forest who holds the record of completing Riverside Race in one minute and fifteen seconds. Although he brags to the apes about his feat, the monkeys beat his time in the level, causing the bear to become enraged. As a result of his tantrum, a log in the forest falls into the riverbank, creating a bridge to a Banana Bird Cave.

|A Kremling that is similar enemy to [[Kracka]]s, however, they are only found gripping onto long, horizontal ropes. They always try to move with the apes, and the monkeys have to climb fast if they want to escape being blown up by this explosive enemy.

|These Kremlings in green barrels are the replacements of [[Klobber]]s from the previous game. They do the same thing as the Klobbers: trying to knock the monkeys into the water or off a cliff. However, they cannot steal anything in this game when hitting the Kongs.

|These penguin enemies are found in snow levels, where they slide down slopes on their bellies, trying to run into the monkeys. A jump attack can easily defeat them, but if the Kongs are hit by them without using an attack, they take damage. Likewise, roll attacks are rendered useless, due to their beaks. Lemguins only appear in Lemguin Lunge.
