'''Lakeside Limbo''' is the first level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' It is located in the first world, [[Lake Orangatanga]]. This level takes place on a series of boardwalks hanging over a large body of water. As the first level, Lakeside Limbo does not feature any unique obstacles or hazards. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] can use their [[team up]] ability early in the level to reach above for bonus items. There are a few basic enemies in the level, including [[Sneek]]s, [[Kobble]]s, and a single [[Booty Bird]]. There are a few segments where the Kongs can swim in the lake below. The Kongs can optionally break open an [[Animal Crate]] of [[Ellie|Ellie the Elephant]] during the latter half of the level, and they can ride on her in some later parts of the level.
==Layout==
[[File:Lakeside Limbo GBA Kobbles.png|thumb|left|Lakeside Limbo in the Game Boy Advance version]]
At the beginning of the level, the Kongs start under a small tunnel, which leads to a tunnel supported by large stilts. After the tunnel, there are long sets of boardwalks over the lake with Sneeks, a [[barrel]], and the [[K-O-N-G Letters|letter K]]. The player can then climb up a small ledge to reach the first Kobble and a formation of bananas creating the letter R. The next section has some tightropes, and on the boards below the ropes, there is a [[Koin]] and the letter O.  The player must then go downwards through a straight pathway to some Kobbles in a small alcove with a tightrope. Continuing to the other side reveals a tunnel with a [[Star Barrel]].


'''Lakeside Limbo''' is the first level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble]]'', and is located in [[Lake Orangatanga]].
About halfway into the level, there is a DK Barrel and a large gap of water that must be swum through to reach another boardwalk. There, the player can find a Kobble and a small gap with the letter N above it. A pathway leading to a ledge is also located nearby. Jumping off this ledge causes the Kongs to land on a crate with Ellie in it. Near Ellie's crate, the player should defeat a Booty Bird to earn the letter G. After climbing over a raised piece of the boards, the Kongs reach a flat surface with a lone Kobble and [[No Animal Sign]]. Afterwards, the player can reach the [[Level Flag]] located nearby the sign.

This level takes place on a series of boardwalks. There are a few [[Sneek]]s and [[Kobble]]s throughout, as well as a [[Booty Bird]], though they shouldn't give the Kongs much trouble. [[Koin]] is out in the open and easy to defeat. The player can ride [[Ellie]] in the later half of the level.

Lakeside Limbo is the first level of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! It is located in the first world, Lake Orangatanga. This level takes place on a series of boardwalks hanging over a large body of water. As the first level, Lakeside Limbo does not feature any unique obstacles or hazards. Dixie and Kiddy can use their team up ability early in the level to reach above for bonus items. There are a few basic enemies in the level, including Sneeks, Kobbles, and a single Booty Bird. There are a few segments where the Kongs can swim in the lake below. The Kongs can optionally break open an Animal Crate of Ellie the Elephant during the latter half of the level, and they can ride on her in some later parts of the level.

Layout[edit]

At the beginning of the level, the Kongs start under a small tunnel, which leads to a tunnel supported by large stilts. After the tunnel, there are long sets of boardwalks over the lake with Sneeks, a barrel, and the letter K. The player can then climb up a small ledge to reach the first Kobble and a formation of bananas creating the letter R. The next section has some tightropes, and on the boards below the ropes, there is a Koin and the letter O. The player must then go downwards through a straight pathway to some Kobbles in a small alcove with a tightrope. Continuing to the other side reveals a tunnel with a Star Barrel.

About halfway into the level, there is a DK Barrel and a large gap of water that must be swum through to reach another boardwalk. There, the player can find a Kobble and a small gap with the letter N above it. A pathway leading to a ledge is also located nearby. Jumping off this ledge causes the Kongs to land on a crate with Ellie in it. Near Ellie's crate, the player should defeat a Booty Bird to earn the letter G. After climbing over a raised piece of the boards, the Kongs reach a flat surface with a lone Kobble and No Animal Sign. Afterwards, the player can reach the Level Flag located nearby the sign.

Enemies[edit]

Items and objects[edit]

Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong find a Red Balloon over a roof just before the Star Barrel in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3
The Kongs find a Red Balloon just before the Star Barrel

a - The Blue Balloon is above the last Kobble, right before the No Animal Sign.
b - The Green Balloon is hidden directly after the second Bonus Barrel.
c - The first two Red Balloons are hidden over the first and second houses respectively, while the third one is above the third house.

K-O-N-G Letters[edit]

  • K: The letter K is floating in the air after the first Sneek.
  • O: Shortly after the first DK Barrel is an area with some ropes and the Koin. The letter O is hovering on the lower rope, just above the Steel Barrel.
  • N: After the Kongs cross the first water area from the Star Barrel, they find the letter N above a small gap.
  • G: Near the end of the level, the Kongs must defeat a Booty Bird to get the letter G.

DK Coin[edit]

Right under the letter O, the Kongs can find the Koin and a Steel Barrel. The Kongs must pick up the Steel Barrel and throw it behind Koin on either side, whether it is facing left or right. The Steel Barrel then bounces off either wall and hits Koin from behind, defeating him and thus earning the Kongs the DK Coin.
