PrinceWatercress plays Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble - Part 9 of 16


Now that we have the Turbo Ski, it's time to take on even harder worlds, starting with K3!

All maps by Tropicon.



K3


K3 is to the north of Cotton-Top Cove and Mekanos, and you will have to ride up a waterfall with the Turbo Ski to get there. There are areas to the east and west of it, but you'll have to complete K3 to get to them.

Krevice Kreepers

Bonus areas: Two (2)


Guess who makes a return appearance here? The Klasps! These guys will be even worse than the first time you met them in Cotton-Top Cove, and a lot of them will scurry right at you once you're on their level. Be ready to plan your movements carefully, since some of them are pretty slow and most of them are pretty fast.

After the first set of ropes, you'll see a trail of bananas leading up and to the right. Get on that rope, get to the right to get the Klasp's attention, then go left and jum pinto the nearby Barrel CannonYou'll find the first bonus area at the end. Here, you'll be collecting 30 stars in 25 seconds, and you will have to leap over the Klasp a couple of times to get them all. Pay attention to what you are doing and you should be able to pull through.

Koin is just after the O. Drop down and to the left on the first horizontal rope and you will land on a wooden platform, and the steel keg will be to your left. Throw the steel keg up and to the left, then quickly get to the left and press Y to do a roll or spin so that the steel keg hits Koin in the back. The DK Coin is now yours.

After the Star Barrel, you'll take a Barrel Cannon up to a long horizontal rope. Quickly move to the left, then stay as far right as you can on the next set of ropes and quickly jump up from one rope to another to avoid the Klasps. When you reach the Barrel Cannon at the end here, go right instead. You will find the N as well as the second bonus area. Just tag throw Dixie up and to the right, then get past the Knocka to enter. Here you will have to hurry your way up to the Bonus Coin and avoid the two Klasps as you do it, as those Klasps are fast!

Tearaway Toboggan

Bonus areas: Two (2)


To get to the first bonus area, jump into the Barrel Cannon at the start and launch yourself out when it is pointing down and to the right. You'll go right into the bonus area. You can also Helicopter Spin with Dixie between the ground and the Buzz and then Helicopter Spin to the right to get there. Tag throw Dixie into the three Nik-Naks in 15 seconds (thankfully, there is a DK Barrel in this bonus room) to get the Bonus Coin.

From here on out, you'll be riding in a toboggan. Thankfully, you can jump on enemies while you are in it, but you want to be careful with some of the houses that are in the way, as some of them can't be sped through and will cause you to lose one of your Kongs if you run into the wall. Unless otherwise noted, stay on the roofs of the houses to be safe.

There is a Nik-Nak after the K. Do not jump on it, or else you won't be able to react in time to jump over the nearby bottomless pit unless you rapidly mash the B button.

If you stay on the ground at the house before the O, you can get a Bear Coin. The first house after the O  also has a hidden Bear Coin above the right end of the roof.

Past the first house after the O, you can either jump on the Nik-Nak for 10 Bananas, or you can pass under him for a 1-Up.

The house before the N has a hidden Bear Coin to the left of the green Buzz. The first house after the G is roof-only, so get on the roof when you see it.

The second bonus area is below the roof of the second house after the G. Be on the ground to get this one. Here, you will have to watch the screen carefully to figure out where the stars are so you can collect all 50. This one will take some trial and error, and you have to get them all as soon as they show up, or else you will not make it. The third one is the one you ride through; you get on the roofs of the rest.

Koin is just past the goal. Grab the steel keg just before the goal, then carry it past the goal to the right. Throw it into the right-hand wall and the DK Coin is yours. Also, if you tag throw Dixie up the nearby wall, you can get a 2-Up.

Barrel Drop Bounce

Bonus areas: Two (2)


In this stage, you will have to use barrels that slowly spin down the waterfall as platforms to get to where you want to go. This can prove a little difficult at times, since you will have to be quick to do the later jumps and also use

The first bonus area is to the left of the K. Jump across the two barrels to the left, then use the barrels again to get to the right and get in. Here, you'll have to catch 15 green bananas in 35 seconds, and you will have to use the barrels to get them. I usually use Dixie when necessary here. Also, stay away from the bottom. Also, remember to go to the left when you get all 15 bananas.

The second bonus area is to the right of the N. Get on the nearby barrel platform with the barrel cannon, get to the platform, then Helicopter Spin with Dixie to the right to reach a barrel platform. Use the platform to get in the bonus area. You'll have to use the barrels to get to the top and reach the second Bonus Coin.

Koin is to the right of the K. Helicopter Spin to the right with Dixie, then grab the steel keg throw it to the right. Keep it on screen as you hurry right, down and to the left, and when you see Koin, jump over him so the steel keg hits him in the back. You can now get the DK Coin.

You'll find Parry the Parallel Pird near the end. If you can time your jumps right, you can get a 2-Up near the goal. Use the barrel at the end to take out the Booty Bird to the right of the goal and get the G.
