'''Riverside Race''' is the seventh [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and the second level of [[Kremwood Forest]]. As the name suggests, Riverside Race takes place at a river. It is the only level with a timer at the bottom-right screen, keeping track of how long it takes for [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] to complete the level, more specifically under [[Brash]]'s record of 1 minute 15 seconds. Though beating Brash's time is not a requirement for finishing the level, if the Kongs set a new record and then visit Brash, he throws a tantrum from losing and causes a tremor that causes a log to fall in the river, where it acts as a bridge to the [[secret cave]]. Aside from featuring a timer, Riverside Race also has invincible [[killer bees]] that chase the [[Kong]]s throughout the level, and [[Koco]]s are the only underwater enemy in the level. Kiddy can bounce on the water to reach higher areas, which is required to reach the [[Koin]] and the two [[Bonus Barrel]]s.

*'''K:''' After the first area of water, located near a Re-Koil.

*'''O:''' The Kongs come up to the letter O after reaching the end of the second area of water.

*'''N:''' Shortly after the Star Barrel, the Kongs reach an underwater area with three red Buzzes. The letter N is above the water to the left of the red Buzzes.

*'''G:''' In the final area of water, the Kongs must swim through a thin passage, which has the letter G.

After the letter G, the Kongs must swim to the surface of the river and step onto the end of the solid platform to the right. Before the killer bees attacks, Kiddy should take the lead again and roll over the water towards the left. (Alternatively, if the player has both Kongs, jumping into the killer bees will give the player more vertical distance and thus be able to make the jump.)  There, he and Dixie can find a Koin, who stands near a [[Steel Keg]]. The Kongs can take the nearby Steel Keg and throw it above the Koin, causing it to rebound off a wall and hit the Koin from behind. The Kongs obtain the [[DK Coin]].

*'''''Grab 15 Bananas!''''': At the second lake, Kiddy must take the lead and bounce on the water to go up to a higher area. (Alternatively, if the player has both Kongs, jumping into the killer bees gives the Kongs more vertical distance and thus be able to make the jump.) By bouncing on the water a second time, Kiddy gets enough vertical distance to land on the area above. The Kongs can find the [[Bonus Barrel]] nearby. In the [[Bonus Level]], the Kongs have 30 seconds to collect 15 [[green banana]]s that appear both above and within the river. A green Koco is in the center of the area, and the green bananas each randomly spawn to the left or right of it. When the Kongs collect all the bananas, a [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!)|Bonus Coin]] appears to the right.

*'''''Bash the Baddies!''''': After the letter N, the Kongs find three red Buzzes hovering over a body of water. They must swim underwater to the bottom left to activate a hidden Invincibility Barrel. They must then return to the surface and then bounce on three red Buzzes to reach a ledge. (Alternatively, if the player has both Kongs, jumping into the rightmost Buzz will give the player more vertical distance and thus be able to make the jump.) The Kongs must go down a flat pathway and enter a Bonus Barrel. In the Bonus Level, the Kongs have 15 seconds to go through the area and defeat four Re-Koils. After the Kongs defeat the enemies, the Bonus Coin appears at the end to the right.
