More Kong
Nintendo invite gamers to return to Donkey Kong Country on the Game Boy Advance in the sequel featuring Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong.
Posted by John Grothier - Game Boy Advance - UK and Europe

In Donkey Kong Country 3 for the Gam Boy Advance the leader of the Kremlings, Baron K. Roolenstein, featured for the first time in the original Donkey Kong Country 3, has kidnapped both Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.

The beloved side-scrollin' sequel to Donkey Kong Country and Donkey Kong Country 2 is will soon be in the palm of your hands. In this new side-scrolling platform game play as Kiddy Kong or Dixie Kong and use unique abilities like the water skip and helicopter spin to go ape on the baddies.

A ninth world, Pacifica, has been added to the original eight worlds. It includes six new levels – set from the deepest drain pipes to the tallest treetops – and adds two to three hours of brand-new game play.

Play new mini-games to earn money and items. Compete is a series of boat races in Funky's Challenge, use a shield to block an onslaught of spiked creatures in Cranky's Dojo or race through tunnels collecting stars in Swanky's Dash.

Game Storyline: Baron K. Roolenstein has kidnapped Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. It is now up to Dixie Kong and her cousin, Kiddy, to run, spin, roll, slam and swim their way through nine worlds to find Donkey Kong and Diddy.

Players can now switch between controlling Kiddy Kong and Dixie Kong and use their unique talents to crush Kremlings and reach the goal. Run, roll, hop and swing across enemy-infested stages, or catch a ride on new and familiar animal pals. There are nine total worlds (the eight original worlds plus one completely new world), each consisting of six levels and a boss battle. Work your way through the levels, collecting power ups and finding secrets. Completing all the levels in a world opens up the next world. Battle through them all to reach Baron K. Roolenstein, then defeat him to rescue Donkey Kong and Diddy.

In the two-player mode, players alternate controlling the Kongs through the same levels found in the single-player mode. When the first Kong gets hurt, the game pauses and the second player takes over with the second Kong.

Players can also attack enemies with a roll or helicopter spin attack, throw objects, ride animal pals, swap characters to take advantage of each ape's talents or team up piggy-back style and attack.

Due out for the Game Boy Advance on 4^th November.
