PrinceWatercress plays Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble - Part 13 of 16


Welcome to Kastle Kaos! This is where previous attempts ended because I could never figure out how to beat KAOS. But that ends now!

All maps by Tropicon.



Kaos Kore


Now that K3 and Razor Ridge have been squared away, a path to Kaos Kore further to the north has been opened up.

Konveyor Rope Klash

Bonus areas: Two (2)


In this stage, the ropes are conveyor belts! Some will move you to the left; others will move you to the right. You'll want to be very careful not to run into the Buzzes or get hit by them in this stage.

Watch out at the beginning, the Bristles will be rolling at you and you cannot defeat him. There are also plenty of Knockas that you can send into the Buzzes.

The first bonus area is out in the open past the K. On the second conveyor belt rope past the K, you'll have to drop down and head to the left to find the Bonus Barrel. You'll be collecting stars for the Bonus Coin. Look in the trees to find some hidden stars.

The second bonus area is just after the N, which is hidden behind a Booty Bird. There will be a set of two conveyor belt ropes; use the top rope and Dixie's Helicopter Spin to reach the Bonus Barrel to the right, which is hidden in the trees. Use the conveyor belt ropes to your advantage as you get 15 green bananas for the second Bonus Coin.

There is a hidden 2-Up below one of the Buzzes, but you'll have to be quick to get it.

Koin is just at the end. Throw the steel keg upwards to the left, and keep it on screen as you get on the conveyor belt above Koin to get him to focus on you. You'll be able to get the DK Coin.

Baffle's Code Room


Baffle Bear has a code he is working on, but he cannot break it and says he may need to reflect on it.

Head back to Barter's Swap Shop and get the Mirror back for ten Bear Coins. Pay the ten coins, get the mirror back and take it back to Baffle. Give it to him, and you'll get a riddle: "To open the gate, at the two stones make eight."

After you beat Creepy Caverns, swim in a figure eight pattern around the two rocks. This will open up the drainpipe nearby, leading to Sewer Stockpile. Play Simon one more time and you'll get another Banana Bird.

Creepy Caverns

Bonus areas: Two (2)


New gimmick here: the Ghost Barrels, which fade in and out and can be a nuisance. Whatever you do, be quick to get past them, and watch where they are aimed if you see them. More often than not, they will appear below Buzzes. Just pay attention to the red band at the opening to see where the Ghost Barrel is aimed.

Just after the O is a part where you will have to go up twice. At the end of that area, go to the left and tag throw Dixie to the Bonus Barrel for the first bonus area. Use the Boo Barrel to get all the stars, and pay attention to where it is aiming before you jump in, as it can point downwards and the directions it points can be random.

The second bonus area is above where the N is. To get to it, you will need Squitter, who is located right after the Star Barrel. Jump on Knocka and send him into the green Buzz that is blocking a Barrel Cannon with an up arrow on it, then get in and head to the right to find Squitter. If you can get him up to where the N and the "No Squitter" sign is, use Squitter's platform webs around the area where all the Boo Barrels are at, and try not to accidentally go into one. You'll find the second bonus area. Place your platform webs carefully so you can get past all the red Buzzes and all the Boo Barrels, and you can get the second Bonus Coin.

Near the end is a steel keg below a Boo Barrel pointed up and right. If you can throw the keg to the right, get in the Boo Barrel, keep the keg on the screen and get to Koin before the keg hits him, you can get the DK Coin.

Lightning Look-Out

Bonus areas: Two (2)


Watch out! In this dark forest, you will be zapped by lightning every few seconds. When you see the flash of light, be on the move, for lightning is about to strike. If it hits your Kongs, you're taking damage. Be sure to watch the top of the screen so you know exactly where the lightning will strike.

Also, don't be in the water for very long. You'll get shocked there, too, just like in real life. Keep that in mind when you're using barrels to make a path over ponds throughout the stage.

The yellow bugs from Belcha's Barn make a return here. Jump on one and pick one up, and hold it over your head to use it as a shield from the lightning. Don't hold one for too long; these guys can revive.

The first bonus area is right below the O. Dive down under it to enter. Take out all the Nik-Naks carefully to get the first Bonus Coin.

Koin is just before the Star Barrel. Let the lightning hit the Booty Birds to get the steel keg, then throw it over Koin's head to the right. Don't forget to dodge the lightning!

The second bonus area is just before the G. There will be a Bonus Barrel above a pond. Make the path, then either use Dixie's Helicopter Spin from the left side of the pond or tag throw Dixie up there to enter. You'll be grabbing bananas...and dodging the lightning. Be careful, stay on the move and watch the sky so you don't get shocked.
