"''There are eight areas to explore in the Northern Kremisphere.

They only appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. | |||

During [[King K. Rool|Baron K.

Throughout their adventure, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must rescue the Banana Birds trapped in every secret cave, one of which appears in every world, and a few on the Northern Kremisphere map itself.

During [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]]'s invasion of the Northern Kremisphere, he trapped the [[Banana Queen]] behind an [[evil barrier]] and imprisoned nearly every Banana Bird in a secret cave, to ensure that he would not be opposed. Throughout their adventure, [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong]] must rescue the Banana Birds trapped in every secret cave, one of which appears in every world, and a few on the Northern Kremisphere map itself.

When visiting a secret cave (which [[Cranky Kong]] introduces to the Kongs upon first visiting one in the [[Game Boy Advance]] | When visiting a secret cave (which [[Cranky Kong]] introduces to the Kongs upon first visiting one in the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake), the Kongs must participate in a concentration challenge and notice the sequence in which the red, green, yellow, and blue crystals flash in. Each crystal is arranged and colored the same as the {{button|snes|A}}, {{button|snes|B}}, {{button|snes|X}}, and {{button|snes|Y}} buttons on a Japanese and European [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] controller, and each button causes its corresponding crystal to light up. The sequence in which the crystals flash is always random, and the player can replicate the sequence by pushing the buttons in the same order that the crystals flash in. In the Game Boy Advance remake, the {{button|GBA|Pad}} is used to activate the crystals; similarly, the crystals are activated based on which arrow button the player presses. A secret cave has a mostly empty scenery except for some tunnels that appear in the background. | ||
By successfully replicating the order, the Banana Bird breaks out from the small crystal it is imprisoned in, and the Kongs obtain it. If the Kongs do not replicate the order correctly, they leave the secret cave and must re-enter it if they want to retry the challenge. | By successfully replicating the order, the Banana Bird breaks out from the small crystal it is imprisoned in, and the Kongs obtain it.
