Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! (also called Donkey Kong Country 3 or DKC3) is the third game in the Donkey Kong Country series of video games and the third and final game in the original Donkey Kong Country trilogy, overall. It is the sequel and direct follow-up to Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. It was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo.
The game itself was later re-released for the Game Boy Advance in 2005 and for the Wii's Virtual Console in 2007/2008. Unlike its predecessors, Donkey Kong Country 3 was not released for the Wii's Virtual Console in South Korea. On November 25, 2012, for reasons unknown, Donkey Kong Country 3 and both its predecessors were delisted from the Wii's Virtual Console, but on October 30, 2014, the games were relisted only in Europe and Australia. Around the same time, the games were released on the Wii U's Virtual Console in Europe and Australia, in Japan on November 26, 2014, and in the United States and Canada on February 26, 2015. For handhelds, Donkey Kong Country 3 was ported exclusively over to the New Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in May/June 2016. It was made available for the Nintendo Switch Online on December 18, 2020.
A similar game was released for the Game Boy in 1997, Donkey Kong Land III, and it has the same characters and settings.
