'''''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''''', often shortened to '''''Donkey Kong Country 3''''', is the third installment of the ''[[mariowiki:Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. It was originally released for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in 1996. Like its two prequels, the game was developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]].


'''''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''''' ('''''DKC3''''' for short) is the third, and final, game for the popular Super Nintendo game series ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' The game stars [[Dixie Kong]] and her little cousin [[Kiddy Kong]] as they travel through numerous lands in order to rescue [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] from the [[Kremling Krew]] and their new leader, [[KAOS]].
The game stars [[mariowiki:Dixie Kong|Dixie Kong]] and her toddler cousin [[mariowiki:Kiddy Kong|Kiddy Kong]], who search for Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong after they went missing on their fishing trip. Meanwhile, the [[mariowiki:Kremling Krew|Kremling Krew]] returns under the leadership of a mysterious cyborg, [[mariowiki:KAOS|KAOS]], later revealed to be an invention of [[mariowiki:King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]], the mad scientist alias of K. Rool.


A remake of the game was released for the Game Boy Advance  in 2005 with new features, most noticeably six new stages and an all-new soundtrack, which was often criticized by fans of the original SNES version.
Unlike the previous installment, which featured a pirate high-seas adventure theme, this game has more of a mix between a mechanical theme and a generic theme similar to the first game, but unlike ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''{{'}}s tropical scenery, the game features locations similar to northern Europe and similar climates. The game events take place at the [[mariowiki:Northern Kremisphere|Northern Kremisphere]].


==Story==
In 2005, a remake of the game was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2005 with new features, most notably a new world, [[mariowiki:Pacifica|Pacifica]], and an entirely different soundtrack composed by [[David Wise]].
In this game, [[Dixie Kong]] and her toddler cousin [[Kiddy Kong]] have to discover the location of missing vacationers, [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Meanwhile, the [[Kremling Krew]] returns under the leadership of the mysterious cyborg [[KAOS]], who [[K. Rool]] (called [[Baron K. Roolenstein]] in this game) is secretly controlling. Unlike the previous installment, which featured a pirate high-seas adventure theme, this game has more of a mix between a mechanical theme and a generic theme similar to the first game, but unlike [[Donkey Kong Country]]'s often tropical scenery, this game features locations much more similar to northern Europe and similar climates. The events of the game were located in the [[Northern Kremisphere]], a hitherto unseen part of the DK Isles.

*The world [[K3]] is based off the 12th highest mountain on Earth, K-3 (now known as Broad Peak).
*The Kremean War (that [[Bazooka]] Bear commonly talks about) plays on the name of the Crimean War.
*[[Bazaar]] Bear makes a Legend of Zelda reference if the player says "no" after asking "Who owns the castle?".
*Bazaar Bear was thought to be Banjo from the Banjo-Kazooie Series, but Rare denied the rumor.
*The two chairlift operating bears are known as Benny and Björn which is a reference to Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the music group ABBA.
*When [[Baron K. Roolenstein]] appears after the player defeats KAOS, he says, "I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids", a line quoted from Scooby-Doo.
*The level where the player faces [[Bleak]] is named [[Bleak's House]], a name pun of the Charles Dickens novel Bleak House.
*[[Skidda's Row]] is based on the band Skid Row.
