Announcements of a contest to find the fabled [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]], which was said to have dominated legends for centuries, attracted "would-be" explorers all over the world to seize the long awaited chance of fame and fortune. [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] all hear of the contest, and the Kongs set out leaving [[Dixie Kong]] with her cousin, [[Kiddy Kong]]. Dixie wants to prove herself just as worthy as the other participants, so she decides to participate in the contest and takes Kiddy along with her. Kiddy is not that aware about what is going on and decides to follow Dixie into the jungle.

After traveling through the worlds, Dixie and Kiddy are confronted by Baron K. Roolenstein at the end of [[Tin Can Valley]]. To access the Lost World, Dixie and Kiddy must collect every [[DK Coin]] and [[Stop Watch|Watch]]. Within the Lost World itself, the Kongs must collect all the DK Coins and the final Watch to engage in the final boss battle against Baron K. Roolenstein. When the Kongs defeat him, they are crowned as the victors of the contest. Baron K. Roolenstein then concedes the remaining six Watches and allows the Kongs to try out the [[#Time Attack mode|Time Attack]] mode.

As the Kongs explore a level, they must avoid enemies along the way and collect items such as [[banana]]s and [[bear coin]]s along the way. Every [[Bonus Level]] is accessed from a [[Bonus Barrel]], and the reward for completing a Bonus Level's objective is a [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Bonus Coin]]. Some levels have an [[Animal Barrel]], which transform the Kongs into the pictured [[Animal Friend]], whose abilities are often required to complete a level or to reach hidden areas. Each Animal Friend has their own set of abilities.

Each world has a [[Wrinkly Refuge]], where [[Wrinkly Kong]] saves the player's progress, and a [[Sheepy Shop]], which is run by a [[Bear (Donkey Kong Land III)|Bear]]. If Dixie and Kiddy have enough Bonus Coins, the Bar allows them to play the [[cards]] memorization minigame if they have at least a number of Bonus Coins. The Kongs are rewarded a [[Stop Watch|Watch]] for the first time they complete a challenge in a world. In most levels, there is a [[Koin]] guarding the [[DK Coin]], except for underwater levels, where the DK Coin appears by itself like in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. The Kongs are required to obtain every DK Coin and Watch to access the final World, the Lost World.
