Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (SNES) - 105% Complete Longplay

A longplay of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble.
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, known in Japan as Super Donkey Kong 3: The Mysterious Kremis Island, commonly abbreviated to DKC3, is a 1996 platforming video game developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.
At the start of the game, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have disappeared during a fishing trip to the Northern Kremisphere, a previously unseen part of the DK Isles which bears a geographical resemblance to Canada and Northern Europe. Dixie Kong sets off to find the pair and is joined by her cousin Kiddy Kong. Initially, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong appear to have been kidnapped by a mysterious robot named KAOS, but later in the game it is revealed that King K. Rool, going by the new moniker Baron K. Roolenstein, is the real mastermind behind the pair's disappearance.

I remember when DKC 3 came out, it was largely ignored due to the N64 and original Playstation being released around the same time. Plus, I guess people were just sick of the series (in two years, we had two main games for SNES and DK Land for Gameboy) and a third game starring the sidekick of the second one must have seemed like a case of beating a dead horse. It's a shame because I feel the third game was very underrated. The creative level designs, mechanical themes, world exploring, hidden difficulty, vehicles, and hidden codes all gave the game some depth the previous games didn't have. They also brought back the aspect of the smaller character teamed with bigger character and this made the team-up move more interesting than the second game's. I also never really had a problem with Kiddy either. It was one of my favorite games for SNES.

[@CoolBoyConundrum]

bro it was definitely underrated. I just finished the first two in my channel and am now starting the 3rd one if youd like to come check it out!

[@TheMrHavish]

Definitely man. Thanks!

[@CoolBoyConundrum]

no problem my friend:)

[@pocodyess6050]

I think the N64 and Playstation were why this was underrated in general. I got it yesterday, and so far, I don't have any problem with it.The N64 in Wrinkly's Save Cave is a nice touch, too. My logic: I don't care about the graphics or the gameplay. I like the music and the little background Easter eggs and cameos (like the N64 mentioned earlier). As for Kiddy, I just think of him as an alternate universe version of DK Jr. I burst out laughing every time I hear him scream!

[@Staalstraal]

It's a shame indeed because you can make the case for part 3 being the best of the bunch. The mood in the game did also felt pretty different from the first two games. Can't really put my finger on it but there was something exotic and even hostile to the whole world. Take the underwater stages, they were so gloomy! Definitely a daring progression from the more straight forward pirate theme in the second game. Damn i was so obsessed with all three games, probably my favourite 90's game trilogy!

[@pirate_cove_man]

This is a really underrated title.

[@Ken-lb8yy]

I've played all 3 for snes. So glad my parents bought these for me. Every Christmas that's all we ever wanted was the new DK.

[@DCol]

well it came out in 1996 lol

[@fargeeks]

D Col yeah. The N64 was out

[@SevenFootPelican]

This game was pretty damn amazing for the time it came out. It was a really long adventure. Good graphics, nice, nostalgic music. Nice gameplay mechanics, and a 2 character system. Tons of levels, bosses, side quests. Good stuff...

[@Dystnine]

I wasn't a fan of some of the tracks. Rockface Rumble, the Waterfall theme, the lake side music and the Forest music really do make me smile. Plus that cave music.

[@Theshark15z]

David Wise didn't compose all the music tracks in DKC 3 like he did in the last two. Eveline Fischer had shared duties with David like the first DKC game. The swimming stages are my favorite because it creates a dark, creepy ambient atmosphere. Stilt Village which is the theme you hear you hear in the first stages, sound too cartooney. Tree Top Tumble is the one I like in the Forrest levels. It really goes with the theme especially in the Rip Saw Rage stage.

justin declair I know... I still remember the happy, sunny days as a kid, playing the hell out of the three DKC games. 2 is my absolute favorite, though. DOS games and SNES... Fuck. These games are still incredibly playable to me, but the magic just isn't the same as through the eyes of a child.

[@mjgates]

+justin declair just go get console classixx download it on your computer and pay some money and you can play your favorite snes games for about a year on your computer. might be hard to control with the computer but you probably have some controller for the comptuer anyway. well i said my peace and hopefully you can get your childhood back lol

[@will9113utube]

+FuzedBox I'm in my 20's and I still have the games, and they're still magical :3 Playing old games gives me my childhood back for a short period of time, it's lovely

[@FuzedBox]

William Davis That's why I never sold my classic games, and the collection has only grown over the years. Had to fix or replace a few consoles here and there over time, but my games still see regular play.

[@Leon--Kennedy]

When I was little I thought Kiddy Kong was Donkey Kong jr.

[@miniluv7330]

And I thought Funky Kong was also Donkey Kong

[@PM-in5gh]

And I thought Chunky Kong wasn't ded.

[@SevenFootPelican]

The music is so nostalgic. Reminds me of being young. This game was an interesting game in my portfolio of games played throughout my gaming career. When I first was gifted it by my father, my brothers and I were too young to be able to play it seriously. But I returned to the game and got pretty far before getting stuck and eventually giving up. The banana bees/wasps always creeped me out really badly.

[@joegarcia9405]

I love all of the DKC games especially this one!! This is the one that was highly under appreciated. I remember seeing ads for this game during the cartoons I would watch after school and was so hyped up. To the point I would replay the first two over and over til I got my very own copy of this game.

[@conkeronine]

DKC3 is My Personal Favortie of The Trilogy.

[@FuzedBox]

conkeronine Two is the real answer.

[@Wahaller]

FuzedBox Wait... Are you stupid? This guy can have his opinion. I like Donkey Kong Country 1 the most.

[@FuzedBox]

Wahaller No, shitwick; I am not stupid. My comment was partially in jest and partially due to the fact that the second game is widely regarded by fans and critics to be the best. I personally don't give a damn about opinions; I like the second one, and if you like the first one the most, then good for you. You're reading into things too much and letting your imaginary constructs push your buttons. You should seek help, because I really shouldn't have to spell this out for you.

[@Wahaller]

FuzedBox "DKC3 is My Personal Favortie of The Trilogy." "Two is the real answer." Looking at this, are you saying that the guy should've said he liked the second game the most? Because, in all honesty, there is no "real answer".

[@FuzedBox]

Wahaller Lighten up, Francis. Stop analyzing youtube comments; it's not healthy. It was just a playful fucking comment until you shaved the hell out of it with Occam's Razor.

[@jlandelf]

So many of these levels had genius concepts! Love the Ripsaw Rage and Low-G Labyrinth and so many others!

[@blueeyes5383]

Wow...just...WOW! This was Christmas of 1996 all over again! I was 14yrs old and my dad and i stayed up and played this till our eyeballs fell out onto the ground! I am now inspired to dust off the old SNES and play this weekend. Thank you for posting!

[@pattypaucarolivera]

I can't believe you can pass the levels without DK and checkpoint barrels. That's crazy. I'm playing this game right now on my old SN and I'm on the hidden world and it's been extremely hard, can't imagine achieving the next level without those barrels.

[@pattypaucarolivera]

Around a month later, I did it! I have passed the 105% version several times, each time in less time. I feel very proud of myself 😂 I couldn't make it as a child, but as an adult I did! So if you think you suck at these games, just keep trying and that goes with almost everything in life 😉

[@kiddykong2993]

Awesome ! It's me and Dixie Kong 🍼

[@mrplume2651]

[@kieranstark7213]

Hey look! Dixie Kong, Kiddy Kong and Amy Rose all interacted to each other! SO FUCKIN’ CUTE!!!!! XD

[@Theshark15z]

What I like about DKC3 is that they brought back the Mountain, Cliffside, Factory, and Forrest levels that were in the first game. The second game had the Pirate Theme so there were a lot of ship, swampy, water and bayou levels which fit the theme pretty well. For this game, the pirate theme was omitted and has more of a Robotic theme to it since you see Zingers now have saw blades on them in the game and the final boss is pretty much like Frankenstein -eseque character. Also I like the fact that you don't have to hunt down the DK coins anymore, like you did in the second game, while instead you just had to solve a puzzle in order to obtain it, and you have new friends to help you along the way to save Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.

[@Dystnine]

I dunno. I liked the mine shaft stages in DKC2. I wasn't a fan of DKC3. The music I liked in it was the mountain stages and the waterfalls. That was it.

Nice long video. Back in it’s prime days, I knew that dkc3 was clearly the best game to play around year 1999 for Super Nintendo systems. The story, team up kongs, weapons, items, bonus games, and bosses were all well done. In my mind, I think when rare made this game, it truly stands out the most.👍👍

[@ladysnake8449]

It's great to see Funky Kong sobered up and traded the weed for a well decent job.

[@warioland523]

This game I think had the best level design of any game in the trilogy. Each stage had a new creative idea to it. It's a shame really that many people passed up on this game because they were so obsessed with the first and second ones. Especially the second one.

in the American version they forgot to put the letter g in the rocket rush phase, but in the European version and in the Japanese version they forgot to put the letter g in the American version and they will have to decide that this cannot be different, it has to be the same as the European version and Japanese and don't think that collecting isn't 100%, it's only for those who want to collect life but don't need it and for those who want it, like me, for example, and if they want 100%, it will have to be retro achievements like collecting the word Kong in Rocket Rush phase to get retro achievements, but the 105% is being fast not because of the cheat code and it also can't be that the sound test has no option not because of the cheat code and solving the glitches that I don't accept so as not to have the defects and they need to be resolved before continuing our old adventure and one day for rareware to release the game as the new game is not about the songs What you have done is very perfect, I really like the excellent songs and I don't mind if the listen to the original version and the remastered version with copyright authorization

this was my favorite in the SNES DKC series. DKC1 was fun, but it got really repetitive by the end and the bosses were terrible. DKC2 was what I'd call an "idea bucket" with too much stuff that barely showed up as well as the Lost World being just unfairly hard to the point where I was never able to fully beat it and get to the secret ending. But DKC3 was genuinely fun, lots of elements from 2 were polished and perfected, as well as having the overworld map actually mean something with the exploration aspects and hidden areas, plus ALL the bosses were incredibly unique and interesting.
