Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie's Double Trouble is the last of the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy for the Super NES. Like Donkey Kong Country 2, it starred the sidekick of the previous game Dixie Kong, paired up with a new sidekick character (Kiddy Kong).
Story
The Kongs have been celebrating after the most recent defeat of K. Rool. However, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong go missing while exploring the islands. Dixie Kong investigates and teams up with Kiddy Kong to explore the islands in search of the missing Kongs. Standing in the way is the Kremling army, which apparently has a new leader in the form of KAOS.
Gameplay
In this game, Dixie and Kiddy can travel freely across overworld maps. Funky Kong builds vehicles that are used to travel across the overworld and reach new worlds, and the vehicles are unlocked at various points in the game. There were various items to collect, such as various coins and Banana Birds. The actual gameplay of each level was similar to the previous installments, however.
Other characters are found across the overworld and in individual worlds. Wrinkly Kong again saves the game, while Swanky Kong runs minigames. There are also a variety of shops owned by the Brothers Bear that were used to earn more Banana Birds. Cranky Kong appeared only as a participant in Swanky's minigame in the original version, although he runs his own karate dojo in the remake.
Legacy
Donkey Kong Country 3 was accompanied by a companion game for the Gameboy, Donkey Kong Land III. However, Donkey Kong Country 3 has not had as large an impact on the series as the previous two Donkey Kong Country games.
Sequels
The next Donkey Kong adventure game was Donkey Kong 64, although there were no more side-scrolling Donkey Kong games until Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat (not counting Donkey Kong Land III).
Remakes
- It was later released for download over the Nintendo Power system in Japan.
- In 2005 it was released on the Gameboy Advance. This version featured a whole new world, a new boss, a new bear brother, new minigames and even a whole new soundtrack.
- It was released on the Wii's Virtual Console on Christmas Eve 2007 in America, and Christmas Day in Europe (despite European releases usually being on Fridays rather than Tuesdays), presumably as some sort of Christmas special. It was not released in Japan until October 2008.
