Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance): Difference between revisions

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]]''.

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:

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.

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]] for help.{{footnote|main|1}}

The game features several items that must be traded between the Brothers Bears in order for the Kongs to collect all of the [[Banana Bird]]s. They are required to trade if the Kongs want to complete their adventure completely. Note that some items are earned from defeating bosses and do not need to be traded with the bears. Below shows the items and descriptions on them, as well as what the Kongs should do with the objects.

*The Brother Bear Barnacle has also been relocated to the new Pacifica world, with the replacement Lake Orangatanga bear being a new Brother Bear named Bachelor. As such, new objects, such as the box of chocolates, have been added to trade amongst the Brothers Bear. 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 Caves are replaced with Cranky's Dojo.

*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.
