Item Description

Kiddy Kong is a toddler built like a wrecking ball, and pairing him with the quick, clever Dixie Kong gives Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! a personality all its own. Donkey Kong and Diddy have gone missing in the Northern Kremisphere, and the unlikely duo sets out to find them, a search that leads to a hulking machine called KAOS and, pulling the strings behind it, a familiar villain in a new disguise as Baron K. Roolenstein.

Dixie's helicopter twirl returns, while Kiddy brings the heft: a well-timed roll sends him skipping across water, and the team-up throw lets either Kong toss the other to smash cracked floors or reach high ledges. Rare's level ideas are at their most offbeat here, from fleeing a giant buzz saw up a tree trunk in Ripsaw Rage to lakeside boardwalks, waterfalls, factories and snowy peaks. Ellie the elephant, who sucks up water to spray enemies and panics at the sight of rats, and Parry the Parallel Bird join returning friends like Enguarde, Squitter and Squawks.

This is the most open of the three games. Instead of walking between stages, you pilot boats from Funky Kong across a large overworld, upgrading from a humble hovercraft all the way to a gyrocopter, and the map is packed with secrets: the Brothers Bear trading favors, Wrinkly Kong's save caves, Swanky's sideshow games, Banana Birds waiting to be freed and a hidden Lost World to unlock. Bear Coins, Bonus Coins and DK Coins give completionists plenty to chase.

Eveline Fischer took the lead on the soundtrack, with David Wise contributing tracks, and her music gives the game a breezier, more pastoral mood than its predecessors that suits the northern setting. Released in late 1996, after the Nintendo 64 had already arrived, DKC3 came out in the shadow of a new generation and is often underrated as a result. It is the last and biggest of Rare's Super Nintendo Kong adventures and the one where exploration matters most, which makes it the right finale for anyone working through the trilogy on original hardware.
