'''''Donkey Kong Country 3''''' is a 2005 [[Reissue#Remakes|remake]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]]. It features a new world and new soundtrack composed by [[David Wise]].

==Story==
The story is the same as the original's. Unlike the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, the remake has no opening sequence, a distinction of which is shared with ''[[Super Mario Advance]]''.

Months after the events of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', the [[Kong]]s were back at [[Donkey Kong Island|DK Island]], still celebrating their victory over the [[King K. Rool|K. Rool]] and the [[Kremling]]s. [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] often slung up a hammock, played some music, and drank banana milkshakes while soaking up the sun. Dixie often joined alongside them.

One morning, Dixie found that Diddy was not in his room. This surprised her as it was unusual for Diddy to be up so early. She found a note on a table that read:
:''Dear Dixie, Gone exploring the islands with DK, Back tomorrow! --Diddy''

Dixie recalled a few other times where Donkey Kong and Diddy had the same plan, and every time the two Kongs would never travel farther than the beach. Dixie went to look for them at the beach, soon realizing that it was too quiet for them to be nearby. As the sun set, Dixie went to bed. The next morning, Dixie checked Diddy's place and found that he had still not returned. She began worrying over what trouble that Donkey Kong and Diddy got into. The entire day passed and the Kongs still did not return. The third morning, Donkey Kong and Diddy had still not returned, so Dixie went to the southern shores of DK Island and swam to the nearest mainland at the [[Northern Kremisphere]], looking for them.

Dixie briefly visited [[Wrinkly Kong]], who confirmed that she saw Donkey Kong and Diddy pass, but Wrinkly did not know where they went. She suggested that Donkey Kong and Diddy visited [[Funky's Rentals|Funky's beach shop]]. As Dixie left, Wrinkly asked her to search for [[Banana Bird]]s along the way.

When Dixie visited Funky, he was busy working on an invention, making use of the various unusual items in the shop. Funky explained to Dixie that Kiddy was the only visitor that he had all week. He pointed across to Kiddy, who was chewing on an old spare tire. Dixie agreed to take Kiddy along with her, and they left. Funky told them to look out for any random items which he can make use of, and he also told them to visit the [[Brothers Bear]]s for help.{{footnote|main|1}}

As they traveled through the worlds, Dixie and Kiddy encounter different [[Kremling]]s than before. At the end of [[Mekanos]], the Kongs first encounter [[KAOS]], who was believed to be the new leader of the [[Kremling Krew]] at the time. Later during their adventure, Dixie and Kiddy encounter KAOS again at [[Kastle Kaos]], which is at the end of [[Kaos Kore]]. During the battle, it is revealed that KAOS was a puppet of [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] all along. After defeating Baron K. Roolenstein, KAOS breaks down and releases Donkey Kong and Diddy. It is revealed that they were trapped to be used as a power source.

The Kongs eventually discover the lost world, [[Krematoa]], where they meet the local Brothers Bear, [[Boomer (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Boomer]]. Dixie and Kiddy must recover the five [[cog (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|cog]]s found in each level of Krematoa and return them to [[Boomer's Bomb Shelter]]. Boomer inserts them on a machine, which causes the [[Knautilus]] to rise from the center lake. Dixie and Kiddy enter it and engage in a second boss fight against Baron K. Roolenstein. The Kongs defeat him again, but Baron K. Roolenstein manages to escape again.

After acquiring every [[DK Coin]], the Kongs return to Funky's Rentals, and he builds the [[Gyrocopter]] for them. With the Gyrocopter, the Kongs can access the remaining few [[secret cave]]s to the last of the Banana Birds. After freeing every Banana Bird, they carry the Kongs up in the sky to the [[Banana Queen]]. All of the Banana Birds sing to destroy the [[evil barrier]] that imprisoned the Banana Queen. Dixie and Kiddy's adventure ends with the Banana Queen chasing after Baron K. Roolenstein and dropping a large eggshell on him.

The remake's start-up sequence might show how Donkey Kong and Diddy were captured because it starts underwater from the perspective of a diving mask; the Knautilus suddenly charges into the Nintendo logo, then the Rare logo, and closes in and "swallows" the camera. The next shot shows the title screen and the Knautilus partially submerged in the waters of the Northern Kremisphere.

{{footnote|note|1|At the very start of the game itself, Dixie goes to Wrinkly's Retreat. During the start of the game, neither Wrinkly nor Funky mention Donkey Kong and Diddy. During the first interaction with Funky, he does not mention for Dixie to be on the lookout for random items, nor does he mention the Brothers Bears. This information is found in the instruction booklet only.}}

Dixie and Kiddy can use them as platforms to jump up them and onto KAOS's head. KAOS punches out his robotic arms to try and stop them from reaching his head. After enough hits, KAOS's head floats off his body, and he fights against the Kongs separately. Meanwhile, his head tries to blast the Kongs with a quick laser. KAOS is fought a second time in Kastle Kaos, with different tactics and moves. KAOS no longer uses his blade attack, and he reveals a new head during this battle, which uses bomb-launchers in its eye. Instead of jumping on KAOS's head, Dixie and Kiddy must attack him by using barrels.

===Barrels===
Various barrels appear throughout the game. They are the main objects in the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series, and they have many different purposes. Below is a list of each barrel and a brief description on them.

|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC2GBA Barrel.png]] [[File:DKC2GBA Barrel roll.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Barrel|Normal Barrel]]
|The most common barrels of the game, these can be used to defeat enemies and sometimes find hidden Bonus Areas. They can be picked up by Ellie and Quawks, who can then roll them on the ground to hit some enemies. Ellie can also suck the barrels in towards her if the player presses Y.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC2GBA DK Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[DK Barrel]]
|These common barrels returning from the first two games help revive a Kong who has been injured. There are at least two in each level, although some later levels have even more. They are often found at the very beginning of levels and right after the Star Barrel.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3GBA Steel Barrel.png]] [[File:DKC3GBA Steel Barrel roll.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Iron Barrel|Steel Barrel]]
|Steel Barrels previously appeared in the original ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]''. Unlike the regular barrels, Steel Barrels do not break if they hit a wall. The Kongs can ride a Steel Barrel if they jump on one as it is rolling. Steel Barrels are required to defeat Koins.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC2GBA TNT Barrel.png]] [[File:DKC3GBA TNT Barrel roll.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[TNT Barrel]]
|TNT Barrels are similar to normal barrels, however, they are explosive. If they are thrown into a sensitive wall, they can blast it away, creating an opening. They can also defeat powerful enemies like red Buzzes, Bazukas, and Kuff 'n' Klout.

|style="text-align:center"|[[Animal Barrel]]
|These common barrels return from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', and they have the exact same function. They transform the Kongs into the Animal Friend pictured. The bottom left side of the screen should hold a picture of the Animal Friend, signaling that the helper can take two hits before being defeated.
|-

|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC2GBA Bonus Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Bonus Barrel]]
|Two or three of these special barrels appear in every level, except for [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], sending the Kongs to [[Bonus Level]]s. They are usually well hidden or hard to reach, due to the fact that their reward is so big. The Kongs also break out of these barrels once they exit the bonus.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Ghost Barrel - DKC3 GBA Sprite.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Boo Barrel]]
|These barrels are similar to the arrowed Barrel Cannons, except that they disappear and reappear at various occasions. Sometimes, they appear in different positions, so if the Kongs jump in them at the wrong time, they can be shot into an enemy. These barrels only appear in the level [[Creepy Caverns]].
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3GBA Booster Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Booster Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels shoot out flames from the bottom, which send the Kongs upwards. Once the barrel reaches its highest point, it blasts them out. They commonly appear in levels near waterfalls, and are often seen as access to Bonus Areas.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:Rocket Barrel - DKC3 GBA Sprite.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Rocket Barrel]]
|This special barrel only appear in the level [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]], where the Kongs must use this barrel to fly up cliffs infested with Buzzes. It can be controlled by maneuvering left and right. As the Kongs use the exhaust, it depletes fuel and it can be replenished by Fuel Barrels. Depletion occurs quicker if the Kongs make contact with the walls. The Kongs can then get out of the Rocket Barrel after they have landed on a landing platform.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3GBA Tracker Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Tracker Barrel]]
|This uncommon barrel appears in only one level, [[Tracker Barrel Trek]]. In this level, the Kongs must use the barrels to traverse the falls. Luckily, the barrels follow the Kongs' movements to ensure that they cannot fall. The only danger of these barrels is that they often lead to Buzzes.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3GBA Warp Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Warp Barrel]]
|These uncommon, invisible barrels hide in every level in the first two worlds. They can warp the Kongs to the end of some levels. All, but two require a team throw to reach, and most of them require Kiddy to throw Dixie. The ones in  [[Barrel Shield Bust-Up]] and [[Springin' Spiders]] can be reached by both Kiddy and Dixie.

|These uncommon barrels refill the fuel tank for the Rocket Barrel in Rocket Rush. There are only a few in the whole game, but they can replenish a great amount of fuel for the rocket. 
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3 GBA Ignition Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Ignition Barrel]]
|Only one of this barrel exclusively appears in this level, Rocket Rush. Once the Barrel Rocket hits this barrel, the Rocket Barrel ignites, causing the Kongs to soar upwards, and thus enabling them to finish this level.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC2GBA Exclamation Point Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Invincibility Barrel]]
|These uncommon barrels temporarily give the Kongs invincibility and they are often found hidden in hard to reach places. The Kongs can use the effects of the barrel to jump on red Buzzes, Kuff 'n' Klouts, and other invincible enemies.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC GBA Star Barrel.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Star Barrel]]
|These barrels return from the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, doing exactly as before. They appear at the middle of every level, and when hit, sparkle, signaling that a checkpoint has been activated. If both Kongs are lost, or they fall into a pit, the Kongs are returned to the Star Barrel.
|-
|style="text-align:center"|[[File:DKC3GBA Switch Barrel normal.png]] [[File:DKC3GBA Switch Barrel steel.png]] [[File:DKC3GBA Switch Barrel TNT.png]]
|style="text-align:center"|[[Switch Barrel]]
|These rare barrels only appear in three levels: [[Blazing Bazukas]], [[Criss Kross Cliffs]], and [[Koindozer Klamber]]. They must be touched to change the type of barrel that the Bazukas fire. Usually, it turns TNT Barrels into normal barrels, although it sometimes turns into Steel Barrels or TNT Barrels instead, which are needed to defeat Koins and red Buzzes.

==Supporting locations==
''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' is filled with various special areas, where the Kongs can meet the other Kongs and [[Brothers Bear]]s around the island to help out.
[[File:Banana Bird Cave DKC3 GBA.png|thumb|Inside a secret cave in the Game Boy Advance version.]]
*'''Secret caves:''' Each of these caves contain a Banana Bird. However, the only way to get the bird is to hit a series of crystals in the right order.
*'''Brothers Bear cabins:''' There are several cabins in the game, one for each of the Brothers Bears. In them, the Kongs can talk to the bears and help them complete a trade to earn [[Banana Bird]]s.
*'''[[Funky's Rentals]]:''' This is where the Kongs can rent vehicles made by Funky Kong to travel through the Northern Kremisphere. He allows them to use his [[Motor Boat]] at the beginning of the game, but after the Kongs gather up special items for him, he is able to make a Hover Craft, a Turbo Ski, and a Gyrocopter for them to ride in. In the remake of the game, Funky hosts Bonus Games with some of those vehicles. If they are all completed, a Banana Bird is earned.
*'''[[Cranky's Dojo]]:''' Exclusive to the remake, Cranky's Dojo replaces [[Wrinkly's Save Cave]] from the original version of the game. The Kongs can meet [[Cranky Kong]] here and play a special Bonus Game for a Banana Bird at the price of two bear coins. The game involves moving Cranky Kong so that he can block the incoming Bristles.
*'''[[Swanky's Dash]]:''' Another area exclusive to the remake replaces [[Swanky's Sideshow]] from the original game. At Swanky's Dash, Dixie Kong can play a Bonus Game for a few bear coins, where she must run through a pipeline, avoiding obstacles and trying to collect a certain number of stars. If the Bonus Game is completed, the Kongs earn some special collectibles.
*'''[[Wrinkly's Retreat]]:''' This area is located just before Funky's Rentals, where Wrinkly resides throughout the game. The Kongs' Banana Birds are kept here.

==Levels==
The game features many levels in which the Kongs must travel through to complete the game. The Kongs have to get to the end of each level, excluding the secret levels in Krematoa, in order to meet Baron K. Roolenstein at Kastle Kaos and rescue [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Every level, excluding boss stages and Rocket Rush, have at least two or three Bonus Levels in them, which are hidden throughout the levels.

==Differences in the Game Boy Advance version==
[[File:Stormy Seas DKC3 GBA.png|thumb|A new level seen in Pacifica, known as Stormy Seas.]]

===Gameplay changes===
[[File:Wrinkly's Retreat DKC3 GBA.png|thumb|The new area, Wrinkly's Retreat.]]
*Players are now able to save at any time.
*The game introduces the new area, Pacifica, which is the seventh world of the game, located between Razor Ridge and Kaos Kore. The world carries six new levels, as well as all new Bonus Level locations. The boss of this area is Barbos, who was the boss of Razor Ridge in the original game and has been replaced with a new boss, Kroctopus, in this version.
*The Brothers Bear Barnacle has also been relocated to the new Pacifica world, with the replacement Lake Orangatanga bear being a new Brothers Bear named Bachelor. As such, new objects, such as the box of chocolates, have been added to trade amongst the Brothers Bears. Some items must also be traded differently.
*Wrinkly Kong is now only located in Wrinkly's Retreat, which replaces the first Wrinkly's Save Cave from the original, between Funky's Rentals and Bazaar's General Store. Banana Birds are kept in this area. All other Save Cave are replaced with Cranky's Dojo.
*Dixie's Photo Album was entirely scrapped, despite the previous two GBA games having a comparable [[scrapbook]]. No cast roll replaces it, and as such, most enemies and the Animal Buddies are not named in-game whatsoever.
*Like in the first two Game Boy Advance remakes for the series, the supporting Kongs have Bonus Games for the Kongs to complete, this time for Banana Birds. Funky Kong has four new Bonus Games, all of which must be cleared to get his Banana Bird (although the types of games available depends on how many vehicles the Kongs can rent), while Cranky (whose Dojo replaces all the other Wrinkly's Save Caves from the original ''Donkey Kong Country 3'') and Swanky (whose Bonus Game and locale are replaced) both have a single Bonus Game.
*After beating Mekanos and Cotton Top Cove, the player has the option of playing through either K3, Razor Ridge, or Pacifica to progress, although they all must be completed to beat the game.
*There are now five extra Banana Birds to collect, increasing the total to twenty, and five more DK Coins to collect, making that total forty-six.
*Anytime after completing Mekanos, the player can visit Bramble to earn his Banana Bird. Originally, he would only give it to the Kongs if they gave him the Flupperius Petallus Pongus.
*Similar to ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', when a Koin is defeated, their DK Coin is automatically collected. In addition, when a DK Coin is collected, it tells the player how many out of the total amount they have.
*In the original version, after defeating each boss (except in Kaos Kore and Krematoa, where this applies after beating [[Rocket Rush (level)|Rocket Rush]] instead), the player can take a one-way trip from those levels back to the world's entrance or the main world map. This is only true in Cotton Top Cove in the GBA version.
*Squirt has more attacks and has been made harder to defeat.
*Baron K. Roolenstein's final battle only gives bear coins.
*The final level, Rocket Rush, has an increased difficulty, as red Buzzes damage the Rocket Barrel when touched, and the Star Barrel is removed.
*A previously unused enemy, [[Kracka]], appears in this game, exclusively in the Pacifica stage [[Stormy Seas]].

===Graphical changes===
*As with ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', in the original, when Dixie does her Helicopter Spin, Kiddy would float behind her, motionless. In the remake, he somersaults behind her.
*The last level in [[Lake Orangatanga]], [[Belcha|Belcha's Barn]], which takes place inside of a mill, had a factory background in the original SNES version for some reason. The background was changed in the Game Boy Advance version to a mill background to match with where the battle takes place.
*Swanky Kong wears the same attire that he wears in ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', unlike in the original, where his outfit is different.
*The world maps have been redrawn, and they are zoomed in more than in the original.
**When Knautilus is unlocked in the Super Nintendo version, the background of stages in Krematoa turns red. However, this does not happen in the Game Boy Advance version.
**The outside of [[Kastle Kaos]] is redesigned, and it no longer has a pink glow emitting from its highest tower.
*The houses that the Brothers Bears live in, as well as the bears themselves, have been redesigned; the most notable change is Blizzard, who in this version of the game is a grizzly bear as opposed to a polar bear.

===Sound changes===
*The original soundtrack of the game, which is notably darker in tone in most of the levels, has been replaced by a completely new, lighter-toned soundtrack composed by [[David Wise]], who composed the soundtrack of the first two ''Donkey Kong Country'' games, but only had a limited involvement with the soundtrack of the third on the Super Nintendo, which was in majority composed by [[Eveline Novakovic|Eveline Fischer]].
**Arich now has a different battle theme than the other bosses. He shares this theme with Kroctopus. Both K. Rool battles use the same battle theme as the other bosses.
**The same track now plays for all of the Brothers Bear houses, meaning that Blue no longer has a unique theme. This same track plays in Funky's Rentals, Wrinkly's Retreat, Swanky's Dash, and when meeting the Banana Queen.
*The death and end-of-level music are removed. Music which is heard when the player loses a life only plays in the original SNES version, depending on the level.
*As in other GBA remakes, the Kong noises are different. Notably, Kiddy Kong makes a much louder, higher-pitched sounding cry when defeated as opposed to a low-pitched cry in the original.
*Sneeks now make the same sound as Neeks from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' as opposed to their own sound in the original SNES version.
*Most enemies have reused sound effects from the two previous Game Boy Advance remakes, such as Kobbles having the same voice as Kritters from ''Donkey Kong Country''.

===Other changes===
*A completely new intro sequence and title screen have been created for this game.
*In the original, the Bonus Barrels either shoot the Kongs upward or make a warp sound and the "B" shrinks. In the GBA version, similar to the other two game remakes, only the latter happens.

===[[Baron K. Roolenstein]]===
*"''NOOO! What have you done? My wife's going to kill me! I used all of her best pots and pans to make [[KAOS|him]]... And then [[Dixie Kong|you]] just cast him aside as if he were a stack of empty tins!''"
*"''WHAT!? How dare you! KAOS was my ticket to world domination... And I'd have gotten away with it, if it weren't for you meddling kids!''"
*"''Well, you may have roasted my robot, but I'M the master chef around here, and I reckon it's about time your goose was cooked!''"
*"''What the blazes!? So, YOU'RE the one who's been scuttling my [[Knautilus|super secret submarine]]! This is the LAST time you'll spoil my plans! I'm gonna bash you good!''"
*"''Right!!! Look out, you cheeky [[Kong|monkeys]]!''"

===[[Blue]]===
*"''H-h-hello there, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs, how are you? My name's Blue, p-p-pleased to meet you.''"
*"''You wouldn't have brought... Oh, I can see you haven't. Never mind.''"
*"''I-I'm afraid you're a little early for the party, Dixie/Kiddy/Kongs. That's if anybody bothers to come at all.''"
*"''I get lots of post you know, but it's all bills - not a single card.''"
*"''What's that red circle on the calendar? Oh - sigh - It's nothing of importance.''"

==References to other games==
*''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'': Also, the underwater theme is an arrangement of the one from this game and the Game Over theme is an arrangement of this game's main theme.
*''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'': The "Cavern Caprice" theme briefly riffs "Stickerbush Symphony".
*''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'': Some Kongs first appearing in this game, such as [[Lanky Kong]] and [[Tiny Kong]], are seen in Funky's Bonus Games. Kroc's laugh was recycled from K. Rool's laugh, but in a normal pitch.

==Development==
As with the other ''Donkey Kong Country'' remakes on the [[Game Boy Advance]], the ''Donkey Kong Country 3'' remake was coded from scratch.<ref name="DK Vine">[http://www.dkvine.com/features/stamped_dkcgba.html DK Vine: The ''Donkey Kong Country'' GBA Trilogy]</ref> Though the developers tried to be as true to the original version as possible, some changes were made to improve some mechanics and the level design. [[Ellie]]'s and the toboggan controls were specifically cited by [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]] employee Paul Rahme as elements the team tried to improve.<ref name="DK Vine"></ref>

At one point, [[Eveline Fischer]]'s original soundtrack was meant to be included alongside [[David Wise]]'s score. However, time and space limitations prevented it from being included.<ref name="DK Vine"></ref>

==Staff==

David Wise composed the whole GBA soundtrack.

==Promotion==
In celebration of the Game Boy Advance release of ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', Nintendo of America held the "Where's DK? Search Event" which began on October 31, 2005.<ref name=terms>[https://web.archive.org/web/20051124124703/whereisdonkeykong.com/terms.html WHERE'S DK? SEARCH EVENT PARTICIPATION TERMS]. ''Nintendo'' via the Wayback Machine.  Retrieved April 13, 2022.</ref> By going to ''whereisdonkeykong.com'' and other participating websites, participants could follow clues that helped them find Donkey Kong. Each time Donkey Kong was located by a participant, Nintendo donated one dollar to the {{wp|Animal Protection Institute}}'s Primate Sanctuary.<ref>Robert Graves. (November 11, 2005). [https://www.nintendoworldreport.com/news/10940/wanted-kong Wanted: Kong!]. ''Nintendo World Report''. Retrieved April 13, 2022.</ref> Up to ten-thousand dollars were given to the institution. The event ended on Novemember 21, 2005. In addition, an online, {{wp|Adobe Flash|Flash}}-powered game, ''[[Barrel-Blastapalooza]]'', was released on the Nintendo-hosted ''donkeykongcountry.com'' website to promote the game. The website's servers were eventually shut down along with the Flash game.
