Template:Quote2 K3 is a snowy, frigid mountain and the fifth world of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! Like most mountains in high altitude, K3 is covered in snow and ice and constantly wracked by blizzards and snowstorms. Because of the setting, most areas, including the boss level, take place in the snow. Due to the slippery surface, sledding is used as a means of traveling through K3: there is one level where the Kongs use a Toboggan and a later level featuring Lemguins, which move by sliding on their bellies. K3 also has rocky cliffs and crevices, some of which the Kongs have to go up. A large waterfall runs through K3, appearing to be flowing into the main Northern Kremisphere map. Right next to the waterfall peak is a factory that the Kremlings have relocated to following KAOS's defeat in Mekanos.[1]
Aside from levels, K3 has some unique areas. The secret cave of K3 is Glacial Grotto, which is located to the left of Blizzard's Basecamp. The Brother Bear of K3 is Blizzard, who resides in Blizzard's Basecamp, where he asks Dixie and Kiddy Kong to deliver a present to Blue.
K3's comes from either K2, the second highest mountain on Earth, or Broad Peak, the twelfth highest mountain formerly known as "K-3". Either way, such a namesake may have been chosen because it begins with a "K," similarly to Kremling names.
Levels
Krevice Kreepers
The first level, Krevice Kreepers takes place in a cliffside area, where Dixie and Kiddy must climb from both vertical and horizontal ropes on their way to the top. The main enemy of Krevice Kreepers are the large number of Klasps appearing throughout.
Tearaway Toboggan
The second level, Tearaway Toboggan takes place in a snow-covered area that the Kongs must have to make their way through in a toboggan.
Barrel Drop Bounce
The third level, Barrel Drop Bounce takes place at a waterfall, which the Kongs can get to the top of by jumping from tumbling barrels sliding down the waterfall.
Krack Shot Kroc
The fourth level, Krack Shot Kroc takes place in a factory, and most of requires the Kongs to be transformed into Squitter while avoiding the fireballs shot by Kroc along the way.
Lemguin Lunge
The fifth level, Lemguin Lunge takes place in a snowy area, though the main obstacle is Lemguins, which indefinitely spawn out of holes while attempting to slide into the Kongs.
Boss level: Bleak's House
The boss level, Bleak's House involves fighting a giant snowman named Bleak. It takes place at the northeast corner of the world map, appearing to give off a sinister frowning face.
Profiles
- Player's Guide (page 5): The frozen wastes of K3 never see any season except winter. It's tough for hairy toes to maintain a steady footing on the ice, especially when you have to jump over sliding Lemguins or dodge the polar projectiles hurled by a sinister snowman.
- Nintendo Power vol. 89 (page 37): Winter always has an icy grip on the slick summit of K3. This is the hunting ground of Bleak the Snowman, the most ruthless righthander to ever chuck a dirty snowball. Watch you step on the slick slopes or you might slide into a bottomless crevasse. And be sure to warm your frozen toes at Blizzard Bear's Base Camp.
- Nintendo Power vol. 91 (page 59): Welcome to the steeps and deeps of icy K3, the highest pointed peak in Donkey Kong Country. Few warm-blooded creatures actually brave these winter environs. Be sure to warm your hairy toes at Blizzard Bear's Basecamp. An avalanche wiped out the trail to his cabin, but you might find another route somewhere near Lemguin Lunge.
