Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble! is a classic 1996 action platformer for the SNES. As the final installment in the original DKC trilogy, it follows Dixie Kong and her new partner Kiddy Kong as they explore the Northern Kremisphere to rescue Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The game retains the series' signature pre-rendered graphics and tight platforming while adding an open overworld map and new animal buddies to ride.
How to play
Navigate through diverse levels using each Kong's unique abilities: Dixie can twirl her ponytail to hover across long gaps, while the heavy Kiddy Kong can roll into enemies and skip across water. Use the arrow keys for movement, Z to jump, and X to run, roll, or pick up barrels. You can switch between Kongs mid-level using the Shift key.
Tips
- When playing as Dixie, you can pick up Kiddy Kong and throw him to crack open hidden paths in the floor.
- Keep an eye out for Bear Coin stashes hidden in the environment, which are essential for unlocking new areas and purchasing items from the Brothers Bear.
- Kiddy Kong's water-skipping ability is triggered by rolling off an edge over water and jumping right as he hits the surface, allowing you to reach distant secrets.
