Donkey Kong Land III is the final game of the Donkey Kong Land trilogy, released as a companion for Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble. It was the last side-scrolling Donkey Kong adventure until Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat.

Story

Basically everyone, including Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have gone off to find the mysterious "Lost World". Eventually Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong decide to go off on the adventure.

Gameplay

The game is similar to Donkey Kong Country 3 in most ways, although not to the degree that Donkey Kong Land 2 is to Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The episode also reverts to normal world maps. The only supporting characters appearing in this game are Wrinkly Kong (once again saving games) and an unnamed Bear (who plays card games). However, there is still an unlockable "Lost World".

Legacy

It is the last of the Donkey Kong Land games as well as the last Donkey Kong sidescroller made by Rare. The next Donkey Kong games made by Rare were Diddy Kong Racing and Donkey Kong 64.
