Gameplay
![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/c/c9/Donkey_Kong_Country_3_gameplay.jpg/230px-Donkey_Kong_Country_3_gameplay.jpg)
Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! is a platform game where players control Dixie Kong and her cousin, Kiddy Kong, through eight worlds which comprise a total of 48 levels.[1][2] Many of the gameplay elements from previous games in the series mark a return in this game, such as barrels,[3] bonus levels which reward the player with special "bonus coins", DK coins, animal helpers and a multiplayer mode.[4] Both of the two playable Kongs have unique abilities, such as Dixie's ability to slow her descent by spinning her ponytail,[5] and Kiddy's ability to bounce across open water.[6][7] The Kongs may also pick each other up to throw each other around levels; the impact of the other player-character can reveal cracked floors, hidden switches or secret areas. At any time, the player can switch Kongs during a level.[8]
Levels in the game include a mixture of platforming, swimming and on-rails levels. They are based around several returning themes including forests, cliff-sides, factories and mountain tops. The level design is more diverse compared to its predecessors, which includes more complex puzzles and obstacles.[9] Every level has an enemy called a Koin; each of these enemies bears the DK Coin of their respective level, holding it as a shield. As these enemies always face towards the player, they must be defeated by throwing a steel barrel[10] over them so it bounces off a wall behind them in order to strike them from behind.[4] The game overworld is also more complex, allowing players to explore between each area instead of forcing them along a linear path. To achieve this, the game includes several vehicles such as a speedboat and hovercraft which can be used to traverse the overworld and access different worlds.[11][9]
The game features "Animal Friends", which return from its predecessors. Returning animals include Enguarde the swordfish, Squitter the spider and Squawks the parrot.[12] New animals include Ellie the elephant, who can suck up water in her trunk to spray enemies with, and Parry the "parallel bird", who flies directly above the player-characters and can be used to collect out-of-reach items.[7] As in the previous game, players can directly control animals instead of just riding them.[12] Scattered around the Northern Kremisphere overworld are the Brothers Bear, a family of bears who provide the players with hints, key items or other services.[13] Players can collect items in levels to trade with the bears for other items or to help progress to later levels; one such item is the Bear Coin, which acts as the game's currency.[4] Other members from the Kong family, such as Cranky Kong, Wrinkly Kong, Swanky Kong and Funky Kong can also be found around the overworld, each of whom offer their own services.[14]
Plot
Characters
The player-characters in this game are Dixie Kong, who is Diddy Kong's girlfriend, and her younger cousin, Kiddy Kong.[15] Scattered around the overworld are various other characters: Wrinkly Kong appears in "save caves," which when entered allow the player to save their game; Funky Kong plays a key role in the game, as he supplies the player with vehicles to traverse the overworld; Swanky Kong, reappearing from the previous game, allows players to challenge Cranky Kong in a contest involving throwing balls at targets in exchange for Bear Coins.[14] Nnew to the series are the Brothers Bear, thirteen bears providing the player with services in exchange for Bear Coins, some of whom are instrumental for advancing through the game.[13] The main antagonist of the previous games, King K. Rool, reappears under the moniker of "Baron K. Roolenstein".[16]
Story
Shortly after the events of Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong suddenly disappear in the Northern Kremisphere, which bears a geographical resemblance to Canada and northern Europe.[9] Dixie Kong sets off to find the pair and is joined by her cousin Kiddy Kong, aided by Funky Kong's vehicles to traverse the land. They reach Kastle KAOS, the lair of a robot named KAOS, who was thought to be the new leader of the Kremlings. After they destroy KAOS, the curtain in the background rolls up to reveal the robot was being controlled by Baron K. Roolenstein, the new moniker of King K. Rool. After the duo fights him, Donkey and Diddy pop out of the destroyed KAOS, implying they were being used to power the robot.
Dixie and Kiddy uncover the extinct volcanic island of Krematoa. They meet Boomer, an exiled member of the Brothers Bear, inside his Anderson shelter. He agrees to destroy the rocks hindering the path in exchange for bonus coins. After Dixie and Kiddy find all bonus coins and five cogwheels hidden in Krematoa, the duo give the cogs to Boomer, who puts them into a machine which reactivates Krematoa, revealing the Knautilus, K. Roolenstein's personal submarine. The Kongs board the submarine and battle against him in there, however he escapes once again.
Once the Kongs collect all DK coins, they give the coins to Funky, who in exchange gives them a gyrocopter. The duo then finds an enigmatic creature called the Banana Bird Queen, who is bound to a barrier cast by K. Roolenstein. She tells the Kongs that she can only be freed if her separated children are returned to her, and that she will rid the land of K. Rool if she is freed. The Kongs find each of her children in a cave, where one of the birds is trapped in an egg which hatches when the Kongs complete a Simon-like memory game. After rescuing them and completing a large trade sequence between the Brothers Bear, the Kongs return the children to the Queen. The Queen and her children all sing, annihilating the barrier. The Queen proceeds to chase K. Rool, who is fleeing in a hovercraft. When she catches up to him, she drops a giant eggshell on top of him, which Dixie and Kiddy land on. The Kongs repeatedly knock on the shell, annoying K. Rool.
Development and release
Similar to its predecessors, Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! utilises the same Silicon Graphics (SGI) and Advanced Computer Modelling (ACM) rendering technology.[1][17] Pre-rendered images are modelled as 3D images and then transformed into 2D sprites and background layers.[18] Rare founder Tim Stamper re-took the role as the game's director, whereas Rare staffers Andrew Collard and Paul Weaver designed the game.[19] Development of Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! began shortly after the release of Diddy's Kong Quest.[17] Rare took significant financial risks in purchasing the expensive SGI equipment used to render the graphics. David Wise, Rare's composer from 1985 to 1994, admitted that the workstations Rare purchased were worth £80,000 each.[19] A new compression technique they developed allowed them to incorporate more detail and animation for each sprite for a given memory footprint than previously achieved on the SNES, which better captured the pre-rendered graphics.[20] Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'s soundtrack was composed by Eveline Fischer and David Wise, with Fischer producing most of the game's music.[9]
Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! was first released in North America on 22 November 1996 and Europe and Australia on 18 December 1996.[21] While the game sold over 3.5 million units worldwide,[9] it has been believed that its sales were hurt by its November 1996 release, which was when the Nintendo 64 console had the majority of industry's attention. 1.7 million copies were sold in Japan and 1.12 million copies sold in the United States.[22][23] Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! has sold the least amount of copies in the Donkey Kong Country series, with the exception of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Wii U.[9]

The game received positive reviews upon release. The SNES version holds an aggregate score of 86% from GameRankings,[24] whereas the Game Boy Advance version holds a score of 76%.[25]
The graphics and gameplay were the most praised aspects of the game. Frank Provo of GameSpot stated that the graphics were colourful, vibrant and "top-notch".[27] Lucas Thomas of IGN opined that Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'s visuals were not as awe-inspiring as the pre-rendered CGI of Donkey Kong Country, however he admitted that they "still looked great" for the third instalment.[15] In a retrospective review, Marcel van Duyn of NintendoLife praised the game's visuals and detailed backgrounds, stating that they were "fantastic" for the SNES.[30] Reviewing the Game Boy Advance version, a reviewer from GamePro thought that the graphics appeared "washed out" on the system's backlit screen; stating that the pre-rendered sprites did not "show up very well".[26] A reviewer from Nintendo Master thought that the game's main strengths were its "beautiful graphics and script".[31] A reviewer from Jeuxvideo asserted that the various aspects of gameplay made Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! a hallmark of the series.[7]
The music received mixed opinions from critics. Although Provo stated that the game's music was "catchy", he noted that devotees to the original Donkey Kong Country may not like it.[27] Thomas thought compared to the other Donkey Kong Country games, the music in Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! stands out the least, although he stated that it was an "impressive effort".[15] Van Duyn similarly stated that the soundtrack was not as "legendary" as it was in its previous instalment, however he still admitted that it had some "great" tracks. In addition, Van Duyn criticised the Game Boy Advance's port for replacing all of the original music with remixed versions.[30] However, Provo stated that the music was "just as good" as the original, regarding the soundtrack on the Game Boy Advance port.[27]
