| A '''toboggan''' is a vehicle used in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are the successor to [[Mine Cart]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and [[Roller Coaster]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest|Donkey Kong Country 2]]''. Despite its name, the toboggan more closely resembles a {{wp|bobsleigh|bobsled}}. Toboggans are only featured in a few levels, either set in a snowy region or in an underground pipeline. They are always the main feature of levels they appear in. | | A '''Toboggan''' is a vehicle used in the video games ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. They are very similar to [[Mine Cart]]s in the game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', as well as [[Skull Cart]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. |

| Toboggans allow [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to quickly transport through a level. They are forced to ride in it from start to finish for every level it appears in. The [[Kong]]s can land the toboggan on a [[Buzz (enemy)|Buzz]] to defeat it. They have almost no control over the toboggan, as they cannot control its speed, stop it from moving, or even exit from it until they end up in an [[Blast Barrel|Auto-Fire Barrel]]. While they ride the toboggan, the Kongs can only jump with it. The vehicle's rapid motion causes the Kongs to be vulnerable to crashing into obstacles or enemies, especially Buzzes.

| Toboggans only appear in two levels, both in which they are the main feature: [[Demolition Drain-Pipe]] and [[Tearaway Toboggan]]. The Kongs ride it through an underground pipeline in the former, and through a snowy region in the latter. Demolition Drain-Pipe has ceilings with silver railings that the toboggan can grip onto, specifically for collecting [[banana]]s or a [[KONG Letters|K-O-N-G Letter]]. In the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake, a toboggan appears in a third level, [[Surf's Up]], which is another pipeline stage. | | Toboggans are rarely used in ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. They offer the Kongs fast transportation, as well as the ability to defeat [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]] by jumping on them. Control over a toboggan, however, is low and the Kongs must act fast when driving one. The first appearance of toboggans are in [[Demolition Drain-Pipe]] in the area, [[Mekanos]]. The Kongs later see one in [[Tearaway Toboggan]], where it is used to ride along the many hills of snow and ice. In the Game Boy Advance version of the game, they appear in the first half of [[Surf's Up]]. |

|
| Toboggans also appear in two levels in ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Like ''Donkey Kong Country 3'', one level is snowy while the other is set in a pipeline, [[Black Ice Blitz]] and [[Whiplash Dash]]. Toboggans function mostly identically in this game, but a few features were removed. The toboggan can no longer defeat Buzzes, and jumping on one injures Dixie or Kiddy. The pipeline stage, Whiplash Dash, has no ceiling rails for the toboggan to grip on.
| | In ''Donkey Kong Land III'', toboggans are found in [[Black Ice Blitz]] and [[Whiplash Dash]]. Although they serve the same purpose, they can no longer defeat Buzzes, and there are no railings on the top for toboggans to grip on. |

| Toboggans reappear as ridable vehicles in the [[Mammoth Glacier]] stage of ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. | | Toboggans reappear as a rideable vehicles in some tracks in ''[[Donkey Kong Barrel Blast]]''. |
