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. | 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 Land III'' plays very similarly to ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. The player controls two different characters, Dixie and Kiddy, and only one [[Kong]] appears on-screen at a time. Dixie and Kiddy retain most of their abilities from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Dixie can use her [[Helicopter Spin]] to whirl her ponytail on the ground or glide in midair. Kiddy is heavier and stronger and can defeat strong enemies such as [[Krumple]]s by jumping on them, whereas Dixie cannot. In each world, the Kongs must complete the levels in order until reaching the world boss, whom the Kongs must defeat to unlock the next world. | ''Donkey Kong Land III'' plays very similarly to ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.

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 | 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 [[Watch (Donkey Kong Land III)|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. | 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]].

Time Attack lists twelve levels on a wooden dashboard. Each of these levels do not appear under their usual name but rather named after their theme, such as "Cave" or "Machine". The objective of Time Attack is for [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] to complete a level within a time limit. Once this is done in every level, the player completes the game entirely, with a 103% ranking. | Time Attack lists twelve levels on a wooden dashboard.
