This is a list of beta elements for the game Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.
Early builds
E3 1996 trailer
The game's E3 1996 trailer (whose footage was later featured in a Brazillian commercial) features a few differences from the final build [1]. These are:
- The game is subtitled "Dixie's Double Trouble" instead of "Dixie Kong's Double Trouble".
- Graphics (presumably placeholder) from Donkey Kong Country 2. These include Neeks instead of the similar Sneek enemy and Funky Kong's surfboard animation.
- Different sprites and background palettes for the Brothers Bears.
- Kiddy Kong has a different idling animation.
- Ellie the Elephant is shown used in a winter level, something that does not happen in the final game.
Back cover
An early version of Bazza.
A screenshot on the back cover shows that the Bazza enemies were originally eel-like creatures instead of the barracuda-like fish of the final game.
Unused Data
There are unused sprites in the game. They are sprites of Kracka (which were eventually used in the Game Boy Advance version) and unused sprites of Kopter (some of which were eventually used in Donkey Kong Land III).[2][3]
A standing animated sprite for Kopter.
Unused animation for Kracka.
