Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!

Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (DKC3 for short) is the third, and final, game for the Donkey Kong Country series released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The game stars Dixie and her little cousin Kiddy as they travel through numerous lands in order to rescue Donkey and Diddy from the Kremling Krew and their new leader, KAOS.

A new version of the game was released for the Game Boy Advance in 2005 with new features, most noticeably six new stages and an all-new soundtrack, which was often criticized by fans of the original Super Nintendo Entertainment System version. There was also a Virtual Console version released in 2005.

Story
In this game, Dixie Kong and her toddler cousin Kiddy Kong have to discover the location of missing vacationers, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Meanwhile, the Kremling Krew returns under the leadership of the mysterious cyborg KAOS, who K. Rool (called Baron K. Roolenstein in this game) is secretly controlling. Unlike the previous installment, which featured a pirate high-seas adventure theme, this game has more of a mix between a mechanical theme and a generic theme similar to the first game, but unlike Donkey Kong Country's often tropical scenery, this game features locations much more similar to northern Europe and similar climates. The events of the game were located in the Northern Kremisphere, a hitherto unseen part of the DK Isles. Supporting Kong characters returning from the previous games included

Trivia

 * Krematoa is based off Krakatoa, a volcano near the Indonesian island of Rakata in the Sunda Strait. In addition, Boomer Bear, the Brother Bear of Krematoa, specializes in explosives, which spoofs the original Krakatoa's explosive nature.
 * The Northern Kremisphere is derived from the Northern Hemisphere, which is the half of a planet's surface that is north of the equator.
 * K. Rool's submarine, the Knautilus, is named after the Nautilus, Captain Nemo's submarine in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.
 * The world K3 is based off the 12th highest mountain on Earth, K-3 (now known as Broad Peak).
 * The Kremean War (that Bazooka Bear commonly talks about) plays on the name of the Crimean War.
 * Bazaar Bear makes a Legend of Zelda reference if the player says "no" after asking "Who owns the castle?".
 * Bazaar Bear was thought to be Banjo from the Banjo-Kazooie Series, but Rare denied the rumor.
 * The two chairlift operating bears are known as Benny and Björn which is a reference to Benny Andersson and Björn Ulvaeus of the music group ABBA.
 * When Baron K. Roolenstein appears after the player defeats KAOS, he says, "I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for you meddling kids", a line quoted from Scooby-Doo.
 * The level where the player faces Bleak is named Bleak's House, a name pun of the Charles Dickens novel Bleak House.
 * Skidda's Row is based on the band Skid Row.
