Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble! – Complete Walkthrough (Step by Step Guide)

April 15, 2024 Off By Markus Norat

World 1 – Lake Orangatanga

PHASE 1 – Lakeside Limbo

1. Bonus 1: As you progress through the level, keep your eyes on the floor. Once you notice a cracked floor, prepare for your next move. Place Kiddy Kong on Dixie’s back. This will allow you to throw it with power. Throw Kiddy directly onto the cracked floor and it will break, revealing a bonus barrel below. Enter the barrel. The task here is simple: collect all the stars that appear. Upon doing so, you will be rewarded with a coveted coin.

2. Bonus 2: As you continue your adventure, look for the letter “N” in the word KONG. Before picking it up, jump into the water nearby. Keep swimming to the right. Soon, you’ll find another bonus barrel. Enter it and start the challenge of collecting 15 bananas. Once all bananas are collected, a coin will be yours.

3. DK Coin: After completing Bonus 1, keep an eye out to find a lizard, known as a Koin. It has the peculiarity of using the DK coin as a shield. Your mission is to catch it, but be careful: Koin is invulnerable from the front due to the shield. Take the gray barrel that is next to Koin. Throw the barrel against the wall behind him. The barrel will ricochet, hitting Koin in the back and causing him to drop the DK coin.

PHASE 2 – Doorstop Dash

1. Bonus 1: At this stage, as soon as you see the first rope, don’t climb it immediately. If you look closely, you’ll see a handle above, which is used to open a door to your left. Use Kiddy, throwing him to activate the handle. Then, take advantage of Dixie’s “helicopter” ability to move to the open door. Inside, you’ll find the bonus barrel. Again, the challenge is to collect all the stars to get the coin.

2. Bonus 2: After crossing the level checkpoint, find the next rope. Instead of going straight, go up and go left. You will find a door that must be opened. Once inside, advance to the bonus barrel. Use the handles, hanging and swinging to cross the chasm and reach the coin on the other side.

3. DK Coin: At a certain point in the level, you will come across a hole. When falling, keep the D-pad pressed to the left. Continuing, you will soon see Koin. You’ll notice a door above it. Open that door and take the barrel that is there. Throw it at the door so that the barrel bounces off the wall behind Koin, hitting him and making him drop the DK coin.

PHASE 3 – Tidal Trouble

1. Bonus 1: During your journey, when you find the letter “O”, dive into the water and head left. This move will transform your character into Engarde. Once transformed, head to the right, but be alert to avoid the hostile fish. Your determination will be rewarded when you find the bonus barrel. Inside, collect all the stars to add another coin to your collection.

2. Bonus 2: This challenge may be a little more complex. At one point, you’ll encounter a barrel monster and a fat bird. Get rid of the barrel. Keep Kiddy in front and position yourself precisely below the fat bird. Press and hold the jump button. Kiddy will be lost, and Dixie will be boosted to a higher jump. Quickly, use the “helicopter” ability to move to the right, where you will find the bonus barrel. The challenge here is to eliminate mosquitoes. Do this and the coin will be yours.

3. DK Coin: At the beginning of the level, look closely and you will find a barrel in an elevated position. Grab that barrel and hit Koin to collect another DK coin.

PHASE 4 – Skidda’s Row

1. Bonus 1: While exploring this icy level, you will find a depression in the terrain. Your point of interest is a bonus barrel visible in this depression. As soon as you see it, don’t hesitate: jump directly at it. In the challenge that presents itself, your main mission is to eliminate the enemies that appear. Upon completing this task, you will be rewarded with a coin.

2. Bonus 2: As you progress, you will find a peculiar house. How to recognize it? It has two pink crocodiles on the roof and three bananas below. When you get there, don’t stay on the ground. Instead, make a careful jump to the top of the house. There, the bonus barrel awaits your arrival. Enter it. Your task within this challenge is to eliminate the enemies that appear on the way to the place where the coin is stored.

3. DK Coin: After passing the level’s checkpoint, you will meet Koin, the DK coin guard. If you followed the previous advice, you already know exactly what to do to get this coin from him, right?

PHASE 5 – Murky Mill

1. Bonus 1: Continue the level until you pass the checkpoint. Keep an eye out, as you’ll soon spot a bee guarding a trapdoor. Quickly pass this bee and, just ahead, there will be a barrel. Pick it up and use it to hit the bee. Once the threat is eliminated, return to the trapdoor and jump into it. Within this new challenge, the objective is to eliminate enemy bees to secure the coin.

2. Bonus 2: Continue your adventure and, after passing through an elevator guarded by three red bees, you will find a hole. When you fall, quickly move to the left where a cannon barrel awaits. This barrel will launch you into the air. In the air, press the left directional pad and get ready to land near a barrel. Pull it quickly, causing it to fall onto the bee blocking access to the bonus barrel. Enter and challenge yourself to dodge the bees until you reach the precious coin.

3. DK Coin: As you progress, after an elevator that goes down, you will find another that goes up. Near this elevator, there is a gray barrel. Take it and go forward until you find Koin. To get his DK coin, throw the barrel over the wall so that the barrel hits Koin as it bounces.

BOSS – Belcha’s Barn

Strategy: Get ready to face Belcha, a giant barrel that has a peculiar appetite for insects. During combat, Belcha will spit barrels towards her. Her objective is to jump into these barrels, revealing an insect that was hidden inside. Once the bug is exposed, jump on it to flip it over. Grab the flipped bug and throw it directly into Belcha’s open mouth. This action causes Belcha to release a powerful burp that pushes him back. Repeat this strategy meticulously until Belcha is pushed enough to fall into the hole behind him. Upon defeating this peculiar boss, you will be rewarded with a Bonus Coin, making 11 in total so far. Remember, the adventure is just beginning, stay strong!

World 2 – Kremwood Forest

PHASE 1 – Barrel Shield Bust-Up

1. Bonus 1: During your exploration of the level, at a certain point, you will find a TNT barrel. This isn’t just a random object – it’s your key to a secret passage. Pick up the barrel and throw it against the wall on your left. This will reveal a passage to the bonus barrel. Get in there and be prepared to dodge cunning monkeys. When you reach the highest point of this challenge, just let yourself fall and you will find the coin you are looking for.

2. Bonus 2: Later in the level, you will come across another TNT barrel. Similar to the first bonus, throw the barrel against the wall on the left. Go up until you see a DK barrel. Here, you’ll need Dixie’s skill. With it, jump into the hole on the right and then use your “helicopter” ability to cross the next two holes. The bonus barrel awaits on the other side. Your challenge? Collect 15 bananas to get the coin reward.

3. DK Coin: As you progress, after finding the letter N, make a small U-turn to the left. Climb onto the shortest branch and, using Kiddy’s strength, throw Dixie to reach the highest branch. Continue along this path until you come across Koin. Use a barrel to hit him and get the DK coin.

PHASE 2 – Riverside Race

1. Bonus 1: Continue through the level until you reach the second pool. Once there, position yourself to the right. When the mosquitoes get close, press and hold the jump button. This move will sacrifice one of the characters, but will allow the other to reach a higher height, where the bonus barrel is located. The challenge consists of collecting 15 bananas, when you do this, you will be rewarded with a coin.

2. Bonus 2: Further on, you will come across a pool protected by three red bees. Don’t worry, as an invincibility barrel will be waiting for you in the left corner. Pick it up and use your new ability to jump over the bees and reach the top of the pool, where you’ll find the bonus barrel. Once inside, your objective is simple: defeat the bouncing lizards to earn the coin.

3. DK Coin: Near the end of the level, in the last pool, repeat the technique from the first bonus to reach the highest platform on the left. Here, you will find Koin. Hit it to collect the DK coin.

PHASE 3 – Squeals on Wheels

1. Bonus 1: As you progress through the level, after finding the letter O, turn left. Here, a precision challenge awaits you. Jump on the wheel where a mouse runs to be propelled to where the bonus barrel is hidden. Your goal is to collect stars. When you do so, the coin will be yours.

2. Bonus 2: After crossing the checkpoint, you will come across two wheels occupied by rats. Climb onto the first wheel and use it as a platform to throw Dixie onto the second. With a well-timed jump, proceed to the area ahead, where the bonus barrel will be waiting. Once again, your challenge is to collect 15 bananas to receive the coin.

3. DK Coin: On your way, before you come across the letter N, there is a wheel. Climb onto it and throw Dixie to the higher area on the right. A barrel will be waiting for you. Pick it up and hit Koin to collect the DK coin.

PHASE 4 – Springin’ Spiders

1. Bonus 1: On your journey through the level, you will encounter a jumping yellow spider at the bottom. As soon as you see it, prepare for a targeted drop. Fall down and keep the directional pad facing left. This will take you directly to a barrel that will transform you into Squawks the parrot. Now, in Squawks form, move to the hole located in the upper right corner. This path will take you directly to the bonus barrel. Your challenge here is to collect 15 bananas. Complete this task and you will be rewarded with the much-desired currency.

2. Bonus 2: At one point in the level, you will find a woodpecker determinedly pecking at a tree. Next to it, there is a hole. Fall into it to access the bonus challenge. Here, your objective is simple but challenging: collect stars to secure your coin.

3. DK Coin: After passing the checkpoint, continue until you come across a red spider with high and powerful heels. Put Dixie on Kiddy’s back and climb onto the spider. Wait until the spider reaches its highest point and, at that moment, jump, throwing Dixie towards the platform above. Grab the available barrel and throw it through the upper hole, directing it at Koin. Finally, throw Dixie through the same hole to collect your DK coin.

PHASE 5 – Bobbing Barrel Brawl

1. Bonus 1: When entering a cannon barrel, be careful, as just below a red bee, you will quickly be able to glimpse a bonus barrel. The key here is the robust bird above the bee. Shoot a jet of water at him and as a result he will drop a TNT barrel, which in turn will eliminate the red bee from your path. With the threat out of the way, access the bonus and use barrels to cross the water and reach the coin on the other side.

2. Bonus 2: If at any point you see a submerged bonus barrel, do not access it immediately. Instead, move a little to the right until you find two water bugs. Wait for the right moment, when they stop, and use them to propel yourself and dive deeper, reaching the bonus barrel. Once there, your mission is to collect stars to earn the coin.

3. DK Coin: Pay attention to the barrel below two threatening red bees. Hold the ‘Y’ button to pull it and, with the barrel in hand, move forward to hit Koin and collect the DK coin.

BOSS – Arich’s Ambush

Strategy: Facing Arich is no easy task, but with the right strategy, you will triumph. Your first action should be to aim for Arich’s back, where a barrel awaits. Pick it up and throw it under the boss, being especially careful with its red claws. After that, climb on it and position yourself to reach the barrel hanging from the branch above. Drop down with the barrel and hit Arich again. Always be alert for the green projectiles he fires, as they are not only dangerous for the Kongs, but can also destroy the barrels. Find a safe haven in the right corner to avoid getting hit by these projectiles. When you successfully hit Arich four or five times, he will fall in defeat. As a reward, you will receive a plaster. Take it to Funky, and he will transform the item into the Hovercraft, expanding your exploration possibilities in the game.

World 3 – Mekanos

PHASE 1 – Fireball Frenzy

1. Bonus 1: After passing the checkpoint, you will encounter a descending sequence of platforms. Choose the path on the left and then you will be introduced to the bonus barrel. In this challenge, your secret weapon is Squitter, the spider. Use your webs to destroy the bees that are in your way. Once they have all been eliminated, the coin will be yours.

2. Bonus 2: When going up an elevator that is guarded by two owls that shoot fireballs alternately, keep an eye out for the third owl that shoots three fireballs in a row. Just past this owl, you’ll notice a lone banana hovering above. Use Dixie and throw her towards the banana. This move will take you to a hidden platform. Proceed right to find another bonus barrel. Here, the challenge is to collect 15 bananas quickly to unlock the currency.

3. DK Coin: After overcoming the second bonus challenge, when using the next elevator, look carefully to the right and you will see Koin. Behind him is a barrel crucial to his success. Pick it up and throw it at Koin. Be careful, as an owl can complicate your move.

PHASE 2 – Demolition Drain-Pipe

1. Bonus 1: As you progress through the level, you will encounter a group of green bees. Look closely and you’ll notice a banana strategically placed above one of them. Jump accurately on this banana to reveal the hidden bonus barrel. Within this challenge, your task is simple: annihilate all the insects. Complete this mission and the coin will be yours.

2. Bonus 2: After the checkpoint, see a hole with an insect over it. Don’t fall into it, but into the next one, which is highlighted by a single banana. This hole hides the bonus barrel. Once inside, collect all the stars quickly to add a coin to your collection.

3. DK Coin: At the end of the level, you will find a barrel near the finish flag. Pick it up and look left to find Koin. With a well-timed throw, hit Koin and collect the DK coin.

PHASE 3 – Ripsaw Rage

1. Bonus 1: In this phase, when you come across a barrel, pick it up and throw it at the bee that is blocking a hole on the left. Upon entering the barrel, a race against time begins. Quickly climb the branches until you reach the spot where the bonus coin awaits.

2. Bonus 2: When you see a gray barrel, don’t hesitate to pick it up. With it in hand, throw it at the bee blocking a hole just above you. Once in the bonus barrel, the challenge is to collect 15 bananas. Be agile and secure another coin for your collection.

3. DK Coin: Reaching the end of the level, you will find Koin waiting. The strategy here is a little more complex. First, throw Dixie to the highest branch. Then, go left until you find a gray barrel. With the barrel in hand, return to the high branch. Position yourself and throw the barrel against the wall on the left, so that it rebounds and hits Koin, releasing the coin to be collected.

PHASE 4 – Blazing Bazzukas

1. Bonus 1: Start your journey in the level and watch out for the TNT barrel. Once you find it, use it to eliminate the bazooka-wielding lizard positioned just in front of you. This will reveal a transforming barrel that will transform you into Squitter the spider. Return to the starting point where you found the TNT barrel. Now, with Squitter’s powers, create web platforms above and climb up. Keep heading left, launching defensive webs at the barrels fired by the lizard. This strategy will take you to the bonus barrel. Within this challenge, keep using the web platforms to elevate yourself to the coin position.

2. Bonus 2: When you come across a lizard that shoots TNT barrels, immediately followed by another one launching common barrels, position yourself over the second lizard. Here, use Dixie’s “helicopter” ability to move to the left. This maneuver will take you to the bonus barrel. Enter it and then you will be in a cannon barrel. The objective is to shoot at the exact moment to reach the coin.

3. DK Coin: Before the checkpoint, during a moment where you are launched by a cannon barrel, watch carefully: halfway up, a path to the left appears. Follow it. Soon, you will see Koin. Keep moving forward and you’ll find a lizard throwing regular barrels. With the help of the web platforms, get to him. Change the barrels he fires by tapping the barrel marked with an “S”, turning them into gray barrels. Return to Koin and wait. One of the gray barrels should hit you, releasing the DK Coin for collection.

PHASE 5 – Low-G Labyrinth

1. Bonus 1: Navigate through the level until you find the second group of three vertically aligned green bees. When you jump over them, look above and see the bonus barrel. Carry Dixie on your back and, at the top of your jump, throw her towards the barrel. Inside the challenge, your mission is to collect all available stars to unlock the currency.

2. Bonus 2: At a certain point in the level, you will come across a fork that offers two paths: an ascending and a descending path. Opt for the lower path. But be careful with the bee that patrols this area. At the end of the route, you will find the bonus barrel. Your challenge here is simple: eliminate all the bees to secure the coin.

3. DK Coin: Keep an eye out for an arrow made of bananas, pointing left. Follow the signs and, shortly after, you will find a sign prohibiting the presence of the Squawks parrot. Once you reach this point, Squawks will turn into a gray barrel. Use it strategically to hit Koin, who is waiting on the right. Do it correctly and the DK Coin is yours.

BOSS – Kaos Karnage

Strategy: Facing Kaos is a test of skill and agility. Initially, pay attention to his movements and jump when he approaches to avoid being sucked into his turbine. Once Kaos activates his spinning blades, use them as a platform and jump onto his head. This procedure must be repeated three times. Once the attacks are complete, Kaos’ protective helmet will come off, revealing his vulnerability. When you hit your head once again, the helmet, now detached, will begin to chase you and shoot laser beams in your direction. Keep moving, avoiding the laser, and wait for the rotating blades to reappear. Climb up on them again and hit Kaos’ head. Repeat this sequence one more time. After this last attack, Kaos will decide to flee, signaling his temporary victory against him. For now, you are rewarded with one of the skis.

World 4 – Cotton-Top Cove

PHASE 1 – Bazza’s Blockade

1. Bonus 1: Keep your eyes peeled for a sector where several bananas are situated near the ceiling and a group of fish quickly passes underneath. You must submerge and swim just below these fish to discover the bonus barrel. In the challenge that follows, your swimming skills will be tested as you try to dodge fish and oysters until you finally reach and collect the desired coin.

2. Bonus 2: Just after the checkpoint, there is an area where fish come rushing in from the left. The tip here is to go against the current, heading in their direction. This path will take you directly to the bonus barrel. As the swordfish Engarde, your task now is to defeat all the intruding fish to secure the coin.

3. DK Coin: Near the end of the stage, after the flag, Koin waits for your arrival. Look right behind it and you’ll discover the gray barrel. Grab it and throw it directly at Koin. When done correctly, the DK Coin will be released for collection.

PHASE 2 – Rocket Barrel Ride

1. Bonus 1: Pay attention to a green bee floating in the scene. Just to the left, a red insect awaits. Jump on it and keep jumping from bug to bug to get to the bonus barrel. Inside this area, collect all available stars to get the coin.

2. Bonus 2: Continue through the level until you find a sign saying “no birds allowed”. Ignore the barrel ahead and continue forward until you reach the end of this area. Now, go back along the path and enter the bonus barrel that was left behind. Again, collect the stars to be rewarded with coin.

3. DK Coin: After collecting the letter “G” and being launched by the next rocket barrel, a gray barrel will catch your attention. Koin will be waiting for you on the left. Pick up the barrel and position yourself a little to the left of the rocket barrel. Throw the barrel upwards, quickly running along the upper path towards Koin. If your trajectory is accurate, the barrel will impact Koin and the DK Coin will be yours.

PHASE 3 – Kreeping Klasps

1. Bonus 1: When exploring the level, you will come across a place where two bees fly forming a circular pattern. Looking above, the bonus barrel is waiting for you. Within this challenge, collect 15 bananas quickly and the coin will become yours.

2. Bonus 2: Further along, you will notice the bonus barrel located below the floor. Use Dixie’s “helicopter” ability to get closer and enter the barrel. The challenge is straightforward: advance while avoiding the monstrous barrels that come towards you until you reach and collect the coin.

3. DK Coin: Before completing the level, Koin will make one more appearance. Just beyond the flag, a gray barrel is cleverly hidden in plain sight. Pick it up and, with a precise throw, hit Koin to release the level’s DK Coin.

PHASE 4 – Tracker Barrel Trek

1. Bonus 1: When starting the level, your first big challenge will involve a barrel that launches you to a dizzying height. When launched, use the Dixie Kong “helicopter” technique, heading to the right. You will be rewarded with a hidden bonus barrel. Within this challenge, it is crucial to collect all the stars to secure the coin.

2. Bonus 2: Go a little further and you will find Ellie the elephant. Once you ride it, pay attention to a waterfall. The secret here is the barrel hidden behind this curtain of water. Enter it, move left, carefully removing all the bees from your path. When you find the next barrel, your goal is simple: exterminate the bugs and the coin is yours.

3. DK Coin: Further ahead, you will see a sign saying “no elephants allowed”. As soon as Ellie sees the sign, it turns into a gray barrel. Take this barrel and go to Koin. The trick to getting the DK Coin is to throw the barrel at the wall on the left and simultaneously run to the right using the top lane. If done correctly, the barrel ricochets and hits Koin, releasing the coin.

PHASE 5 – Fish Food Frenzy

1. Bonus 1: In this aquatic environment, pay attention to a scene where an oyster is on your right and three bananas on your left. The key is to swim behind that oyster. Doing so will reveal a hidden bonus barrel. Inside this area, swim quickly to collect 15 bananas and obtain the coin.

2. Bonus 2: Keep swimming until you find the last oyster before the sign that says “no fish”. The bonus barrel is strategically located above it. Once inside, guide the voracious fish so that it devours all the smaller fish, thus securing your coin.

3. DK Coin: As you near the end of the level, you will need to use Dixie to launch yourself to a raised platform on the left. With a perfect throw, you can hit Koin and collect the DK Coin.

BOSS – Squirt’s Showdown

Strategy: Faced with Squirt, Ellie the elephant will be your battle companion. Squirt’s weak point is her sensitive eyes. Wait for the right moment when his eyes are vulnerable and shoot water jets at them. Each eye needs to be hit twice per round. However, keep your vigilance! Squirt will try to destabilize you with spinning water jets, which can push you into the abyss below. After hitting each eye six times in total, Squirt will admit defeat. With him defeated, you will receive the second ski.

With both skis in your possession, the next stop is Funky’s workshop. He will combine these skis to create the Jet Ski. This new vessel will allow you to conquer the waterfall to the east. When you approach it, press the Y button and move upstream.

World 5 – K3

PHASE 1 – Krevice Kreepers

1. Bonus 1: When you come across a rope and notice a monster barrel standing to the left, climb up that rope. This act will provoke the monster barrel that will start chasing you. Quickly, move to the right and when you reach the end, use the jumping technique over the barrel. Once done, head in the opposite direction (left) until you find a cannon barrel. This barrel will launch you into a bonus challenge. Here, collect the stars to secure your precious coin.

2. Bonus 2: In the segment of the stage where the letter “N” is located, use Dixie and her throwing ability. Throw it up and to the right, revealing a secret area. Move forward and enter the bonus barrel. In this area, navigate the ropes while keeping an eye out for monster barrels. In the end, your reward is the coin.

3. DK Coin: After locating the letter “O”, a fork will appear to the left. Following this route, Koin will be visible. Take the gray barrel and position yourself subtly to the left of the passage before Koin’s platform. The secret here is to throw the barrel against the wall on the right and, without hesitation, run towards Koin. If performed correctly, Koin will turn around just before the barrel hits him, releasing the coin.

PHASE 2 – Taraway Toboggan

1. Bonus 1: At the beginning of this freezing level, you will find a rotating cannon barrel. When the moment is opportune, shoot diagonally, precisely in the lower-right direction. This will take you to the bonus challenge. Here, your mission is to defeat the insects in exchange for coin.

2. Bonus 2: After the checkpoint, keep your eyes peeled for an arrow made of bananas, pointing to the right. When you see it, perform a short jump, overcoming the bee just below the hut. This will take you directly to the bonus barrel. Collect stars to secure your coin.

3. DK Coin: After completing the sledding segment, find and collect the gray barrel. Koin will be waiting to the right of the stage end flag. Aim and hit him to get the coin.

PHASE 3 – Barrel Drop Bounce

1. Bonus 1: When you find the letter “K”, you will face a segment with falling barrels. Climb up the first two barrels. Wait patiently for the third barrel to drop and use it as a boost to access the bonus barrel on the right. Inside, collect 15 bananas to secure the coin.

2. Bonus 2: After coming across the letter “N”, use Dixie’s “helicopter” technique to move to the right. This maneuver will take you directly to the bonus barrel. From there, you must climb up using the falling barrels to reach the coin.

3. DK Coin: After locating the letter “K”, once again use the “helicopter” ability to go right. There, a gray barrel will be waiting for you. Go a little further and you will meet Koin. Use the same technique used in the first phase of K3 to hit Koin and collect the coin.

PHASE 4 – Krack-Shot Krock

1. Bonus 1: As you progress through the level, you will eventually come across two hedgehogs, followed by a jumping lizard. Keep an eye out for a discreet opening located in the ceiling. Climbing through this opening, you will discover the bonus barrel. Once inside, the challenge is to collect 15 bananas. Do this accurately and the coin will be yours.

2. Bonus 2: Along your journey, you will come across a location with a red bee, flying in a circular pattern. Your goal is to opt for the path above it, and that’s where the bonus barrel is hidden. Within this challenge, the “B” key will be your main resource, as it allows you to shoot fireballs. Use them wisely to eliminate all enemies that cross your path. Once everyone is defeated, currency is rewarded.

3. DK Coin: As you progress, a sign saying “no spiders” will appear. Here, Squitter the spider turns into a gray barrel. With dexterity, use this barrel to aim and hit Koin, who is strategically positioned to the left.

PHASE 5 – Lemguin Lunge!

1. Bonus 1: As soon as you start the level, you will quickly notice a bonus barrel hovering over a red bee. Here, Dixie is your best bet. Use the throwing ability to launch it into the barrel. Once inside, your task is to move forward by jumping over the penguins, and eventually, you will find the coin waiting for you.

2. Bonus 2: While navigating the level, at a certain point, a bonus barrel will be visible at the bottom of a small hut. To access it, move to the right of the hut and enter. Inside, a new challenge awaits: collect the stars. Complete this task successfully and the coin will be yours.

3. DK Coin: After passing through the letter “O”, Koin will make its appearance. When you find him, he picks up the barrel and throws it against the wall on the left. But there’s a trick: hold the directional pad up and position yourself exactly over the coin. With the right timing, the barrel ricochets and hits Koin, freeing the coin to be collected.

BOSS – Bleak’s House

Strategy: In this confrontation, Bleak, a giant snowman, has the main attack of throwing snowballs in your direction. Your main objective is to dodge these balls while looking for a counterattack opportunity. Bleak’s weak point is the medallion on his chest. Using the “B” button, he throws snowballs back at him, aiming precisely at the medallion. After hitting him seven times, Bleak will meet his explosive end. As a reward, you will receive a Bonus Coin.

World 6 – Razor Ridge

PHASE 1 – Buzzer Barrage

1. Bonus 1: As you progress through the level, keep an eye out for a specific scene: a red bee flying above a green bee. Your mission is to pick up a nearby barrel and throw it at the green bee. This will reveal a bonus barrel just below. In the challenge that follows, your objective is to exterminate all the bees. Do this dexterously, and the bonus coin will be yours.

2. Bonus 2: Near the end of the level, you will find a helicopter lizard. Use it as a springboard by repeatedly jumping on your head. This will allow you to gain enough height to access an opening on the left. This is where the second bonus barrel is hidden. Once inside, collect all the stars and secure another coin for your collection.

3. DK Coin: When you find Koin, look for the path that leads up and to the left. Carefully dodge the helicopter lizards that patrol the area. Grab the gray barrel nearby and use it to eliminate the bees on the right. Then pick up another gray barrel. Position yourself slightly to the left of Koin, release the barrel and quickly fly towards him, causing Koin to be hit by the barrel loop, releasing the DK Coin.

PHASE 2 – Kong-Fused Cliffs

1. Bonus 1: As you climb the level, you will find a point where two bees fly in circles. Use the “helicopter” ability to the right and reach the bonus barrel. Once inside, the challenge is to use the barrels to climb up to where the coin is waiting.

2. Bonus 2: Passing the checkpoint, you will eventually reach an area where three bees fly horizontally. Stay positioned just above the third bee and use the “helicopter” technique to the right, taking you directly to the bonus barrel. In the challenge that follows, climbing the rope is crucial. Dodge the enemies and advance until the coin is within your reach.

3. DK Coin: Near the end of the level, you will notice that the rope ends. Do not freak out. Climb to the highest point and find a gray barrel. Take it and go down the left side. Koin is hiding in a small tunnel to the right. With the barrel in hand, stand at the tunnel entrance, throw the barrel at the wall on the left and, with perfect timing, jump so that the ricochet hits Koin, releasing the DK Coin.

PHASE 3 – Floodlit Fish

1. Bonus 1: Navigating through the waters of this level, you will reach a section where you are descending and come across orange fish swimming horizontally. When you reach the third fish, dodge to the right, and there you will find the bonus barrel. Inside, collect all the stars to win the coin.

2. Bonus 2: Continuing your descent, after passing several oysters positioned in pairs, you will find yourself at an underwater crossing. Head down and discover the hidden bonus barrel. Once again, collect the stars and the coin will be yours.

3. DK Coin: As you approach the end of the level, you will see Koin, strategically positioned before the final flag. Go to the upper part on the left to get the barrel and, with a precise throw, hit Koin to get the DK Coin.

World 7: Kaos Kore

PHASE 1 – Konvoyer Rope Klash

Bonus 1: After navigating the level and passing the second monster barrel, which is an enemy and attacks you, stay alert for the bonus barrel that is located just below the next rope that you will have to grab. Once in the bonus challenge, your goal is to collect all the stars present. Do this effectively and the bonus currency will be yours.
Bonus 2: Continue your journey until you come across a rope that has bees flying around it in a circular motion. Before you reach this rope, keep an eye out for a subtly hidden bonus barrel. To access it, throw Dixie vertically. Within this challenge, quickly collect 15 bananas. If you are successful, you will earn another bonus coin.
DK Coin: When you are approaching the end of the level, notice that Koin is positioned waiting. Next to it there will be a gray barrel. To get the DK Coin, throw the barrel against the wall on the right. Keep the D-pad pressed up and quickly climb the rope to get closer to Koin. If everything is done correctly, the barrel will bounce off the wall and hit Koin, releasing the DK Coin.

PHASE 2 – Creepy Caverns

Bonus 1: After being launched by a barrel that sends you to the right, resist the natural instinct to move forward. Instead, go back and head left. There, a bonus barrel is hidden waiting. Within this challenge, collect all the stars to earn bonus currency.
Bonus 2: This is certainly a challenge for determined players. When controlling Squitter, after being launched vertically by a ghost barrel, keep an eye out for a lone banana above you. Use the spider’s abilities to create web platforms and reach the bonus barrel situated above the ghost barrels. In this challenge, you will have to deftly avoid both the bees and the ghost barrels, until you can reach where the bonus coin is located.
DK Coin: When you see a gray barrel next to a red bee and a ghost barrel, get ready for a timing challenge. Take the gray barrel. When the ghost barrel disappears, count for a second, then jump and throw the barrel above the bee. If done correctly, once you release the barrel, the ghost will appear and throw you directly at Koin. Run until you pass Koin so the barrel hits him and releases the DK Coin.

PHASE 3 – Lightning Look-Out

Bonus 1: As you progress through the level, you will find the letter “O” in KONG. Directly below it, you’ll find the bonus barrel. Once inside, you will be challenged to eliminate all the insects present to earn the bonus coin.
Bonus 2: Continue until you notice three barrels floating in the water. The bonus barrel is strategically positioned above them. Access it and get ready to collect 15 bananas. Complete the task and you will be rewarded with another bonus coin.
DK Coin: As you progress, you will come across two fat birds. Position yourself below the first one and wait for lightning to strike you. When hit, the bird will drop a barrel. Use this barrel to hit the second bird. He, in turn, will drop a gray barrel. Take this barrel and hit Koin to add the DK Coin to your collection.

PHASE 4 – Koindozer Klamber

BONUS 1:

After coming across the lizard armed with a bazooka, look closely at the space above it. There, a bonus barrel is semi-hidden.
Upon entering the barrel, you will be challenged to collect several stars. Complete the challenge to add another bonus coin to your inventory.

BONUS 2:

Move forward until you see a bouncing lizard. The bonus barrel will be nearby.
Using Dixie’s ability to spin and fly, throw her towards the barrel.
The challenge consists of collecting a total of 15 bananas. Complete it to earn the coin.

DK COIN:

At a certain point in the level, Koin will be visible. A little ahead, a lizard with a bazooka will try to hit Koin with its shots. There is also a special barrel with the letter ‘S’ above it.
When touching this special barrel, the lizard will change its projectiles to gray barrels.
Approach Koin and position yourself to his left. The plan is for the gray barrel, when thrown by the lizard, to hit Koin. Once you reach it, you can get the DK coin.

PHASE 5 – Poisonous Pipeline

BONUS 1:

This bonus barrel can be found to the left of a set of two oysters. A red fish swims between them.
Once inside, the challenge is simple: eliminate the hostile fish. Earn the coin by completing this task.

BONUS 2:

As you navigate through the level, you’ll come across a spot with two oysters and two red fish swimming between them.
Keep going left until you discover a downward path flanked by two additional oysters. Here, the bonus barrel awaits.
Access the barrel and embark on a quest to collect the stars. When you do this, the coin will be yours.

DK COIN:

Shortly after exiting BONUS 2, you will find yourself in a location with an upward path.
Climb up to find Koin waiting next to a gray barrel. To get the DK coin, grab the barrel, stand on Koin, jump and throw the barrel against the right wall. If executed correctly, it should ricochet and hit Koin.

BOSS – Kaos

Battle Strategy:

The battle against Kaos is a series of intense and challenging events. Your main strategy will be to avoid him while trying to hit him with barrels:

At first, Kaos will try to attack you with flames from his base. He dodge these flames and go to the opposite side of the screen, where he will find a barrel. Throw that barrel at his head.
After hitting it, a new head will appear, dropping bombs. Dodge the bombs. Wait for the flames to pause and repeat the process of hitting him in the head with another barrel.
Then the real villain, Baron K. Roolenstein, emerges. He will fly from one side of the screen to the other. At the same time, hooks will appear overhead. Use them to knock down barrels, pick up a barrel and throw it at K. Rool’s back. Dodge when he flies out of control and repeat this process.
K. Rool will then activate an electric platform. Use the grappling hooks to get to the upper platform, grab another barrel and hit it again.
The battle progresses with more platforms and electricity. The strategy remains the same: use the hooks, avoid the electricity, grab the barrels and hit K. Rool.
After hitting him several times with the barrel, K. Rool will finally be defeated. You will earn another bonus coin as a reward.

Post-Battle:

Now that the battle is won, enjoy the final cutscene. But remember, the adventure is not over yet. After the credits, load your last saved game. From Kaos Kore, head to some rocks located east of Mekanos and circle them until a volcano appears in the center: the secret world of Krematoa.

In this world, you will need bombs to access the levels. These can be purchased at Boomer’s Bomb Shelter for Bonus Coins. The journey continues, so keep going and good luck!

World 8 – Krematoa

PHASE 1 – Stampede Sprint

Bonus 1 : When starting the level, look for a barrel that appears to be partially hidden. To access it, you need to throw Dixie towards it. Once inside the bonus challenge, the player needs to collect a total of 15 bananas to be rewarded with a coin.

Bonus 2 : As you progress a little further into the level, right after the first bonus challenge, there will be another bonus barrel clearly visible. Just like the previous one, the objective here is also to collect 15 bananas to earn the coveted coin.

Bonus 3 : During your adventure, you will find a sign with the image of a bird and the prohibited symbol. Make sure the Parry bird accompanies you to this point, because once you get there, it will magically transform into a bonus barrel. Within this challenge, as well as the previous ones, the objective is to collect 15 bananas to obtain the coin.

DK Coin : Later in the level, you will find a sign with an elephant and a prohibited sign. When you pass this sign, Ellie the elephant will turn into a gray barrel. Use this barrel to reach Koin, who is located just after the end-of-stage flag.

PHASE 2 – Criss Kross Cliffs

Bonus 1 : Right at the beginning, when climbing up the cannon barrels, the player will notice two red bees that keep a secret. To the right of these bees, the first bonus barrel of the level is hidden. Again, collect 15 bananas to get the coin.

Bonus 2 : Continuing your climb, right after finding Koin, pay close attention to the direction pointing up and to the right. Here, hidden high above, is the second bonus barrel. The task is simple: destroy all the insects present to be rewarded with another coin.

DK Coin : When you come across a red bee obstructing your path, you must move to the left. As you advance, you will find jumping lizards and, further on, a barrel with the letter “S”. By ignoring this barrel and keeping the D-pad tilted to the right as you fall, you will come across Koin. Grab the nearby barrel and use it to hit Koin and earn the DK Coin.

PHASE 3 – Tyrant Twin Tussle

Bonus 1 : When approaching a sign that says “no spiders”, raise your eyes and look up. A bonus barrel is hidden there. Within this challenge, the player needs to collect stars to earn his currency.

Bonus 2 : After the checkpoint, and after facing two imposing stone monsters, notice an opening in the ceiling. Throwing Dixie towards this opening will reveal a cannon barrel. Once shot up, go left and grab a TNT barrel. Use it to destroy the red bees on the right, revealing the bonus barrel. In this challenge, dodge the stone monsters until you reach the much-desired coin.

Bonus 3 : Near the end of the level, to the right of the flag, a single banana catches your eye. Jump on it to reveal the last bonus barrel of this level. As usual, collect 15 bananas to earn the coin.

DK Coin : For this coin, it is vital to be in the form of Squitter the spider. After collecting the letter “O”, look at the ceiling and find an opening. Climb up it until you find Koin. Even further up, there is a lizard equipped with a bazooka. Positioning yourself above Koin, create a web platform near the left wall, causing the barrel fired by the lizard to hit Koin, releasing the DK Coin.

PHASE 4 – Swoopy Salvo

Bonus 1 : After collecting the letter “K”, keep an eye out for an entry in the tree. Go down this opening and you will find a bonus barrel. To complete the challenge, climb up using the woodpeckers that move from side to side until you reach the coin waiting at the top.

Bonus 2 : This part is particularly challenging. When you find a hole protected by a bee, climb up a little. Note woodpeckers emerging on the left side. Follow them and as you go up, you’ll see two red bees flying in a circular pattern. The secret here is that there is an invisible bonus barrel situated between these bees. Access it and, as usual, collect 15 bananas to secure your coin. We wish you good luck in this challenge!

Bonus 3 : At a certain point, you will observe woodpeckers moving in a downward trajectory from left to right. Your goal is to jump over them, using them as makeshift platforms to reach a bonus barrel hidden above. Once inside, collect the scattered stars to earn another coin.

DK Coin : After Bonus 2, Koin will be waiting just after a sign that says “no parrots”. Upon crossing it, Squawks the parrot turns into a gray barrel. Pick up this barrel, position yourself above Koin and throw it against the wall on the left, causing it to ricochet and hit Koin, releasing the DK Coin.

PHASE 5 – Rocket Rush!

DK Coin : As you approach the end of the level, you will find Koin waiting near the flag. Not far away there is a gray barrel. Pick it up and throw it at Koin to get another DK Coin.

After collecting the five gears scattered throughout the game, head to Boomer. He will activate a mechanism that will reveal a mysterious submarine hidden in the waters of the lake. It’s time to embark on the final battle!

FINAL BOSS – Knautilus

The battle against K. Rool is decisive. Initially, K. Rool will attack by throwing fireballs. Dodge without jumping, as jumping can cause you to be hit by electrical discharges. When he pauses and a hole in the ceiling starts sucking in air, this is your chance! Throw the barrel at him at the right time so that it falls on the villain. After hitting him, K. Rool will try to hit you. Dodge it by staying in the corners and attack it in the back twice. He will return to his starting position, firing more fireballs. Repeat the hole strategy and, after hitting it three more times, K. Rool will launch bolts of electricity. Use the gray barrel as a shield. When he pauses, pick up the barrel and throw it at the enemy. Repeat this tactic three more times and K. Rool will finally be defeated, releasing the last DK Coin.

However, the adventure doesn’t end there! To see the true ending of “Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble!”, you need to collect all the Banana Birds and free their queen. If you have collected all the DK Coins, visit Funky. He will build you a helicopter.
