Donkey Kong Country 3

This game is a new addition to the Kong series, where you will play as Dixie and Kiddy Kong to help them find Diddy Kong. Be prepared to go on an adventurous journey through the Northern Kremisphere in Donkey Kong Country 3! KAOS has been named the new leader of the Kremlings, and it is up to you to beat him! The game features more than 45 levels, each with different kinds of puzzles and challenges. You will play the game as both of these characters; each one of them have their own set of special skills.

🏔️ Search the Northern Kremisphere

Your adventure takes place across the Northern Kremisphere, a region filled with forests, mountains, lakes, factories, cliffs, and snowy landscapes.

During the journey, you must:

• Defeat members of the Kremling Krew.
• Explore themed worlds with unique level designs.
• Collect Bonus Coins, DK Coins, and Bear Coins.
• Reach Baron K. Roolenstein, the latest identity used by King K. Rool.

Each world contains hidden bonus areas and secrets that reward careful exploration.

🦍 Switch between two playable Kongs

You control Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong throughout the adventure. Both characters have different abilities.

You can switch between them during gameplay. Some puzzles and secret areas become easier depending on which Kong you use.

🎯 My Experience

Dixie Kong's helicopter spin also makes platforming more forgiving in difficult sections.
