5.0 out of 5 stars Still a thrill, May 20, 2006

= Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (Video Game)

DKC3 was the last installment of Rareware's monkey series for the SNES, and was basically the game to get your child for Christmas of '96 if you didn't plan on tracking down the then-newly-released Nintendo 64.

Overall, DCK3 is a solid platformer game. It suffers in reviews because it lacks the originality of the first and the huge gameplay leaps of the second, but nothing about this title is remotely buggy or broken. Lots of levels and environments to traverse, and Rare included some interesting scenarios this time around that mix up the normal 'run and jump' gameplay (reversed controls, riding a rocket that needs constant refueling, dodge lightning, etc). There are memorable boss fights and an overworld filled with secrets that is explored through upgradable vehicles. There's even a family of bears scattered across the world that will help you if locate the right items for them.

Graphics are as sharp as the first two installments, and the music has a catchy, laid back tropical flavour (also seen in the brighter design of the enemies). The only nitpicks are the lack of story (Rare poked fun at this in the first two games, here they just don't try) and the character selection. It's odd that the series is called "Donkey Kong Country" and Donkey and Diddy are reduced to mere cameos here. Kiddy Kong brings back the heavy/light dynamic of the first game, but overall Dixie is still more useful and maneuverable. In the end though, this is a wonderful platformer that holds up well by today's standards. If you've still got an SNES, it's worth tracking down a copy.

4.0 out of 5 stars this is a great game, April 22, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (Video Game)

I think that all of the Donkey Kong Country games are the best SNES games out there. It really ... that companies have started to forget about SNES. It is so hard to find SNES games anymore. I have as much fun playing SNES that I have playing my N64. I haven't been able to buy this game due to it is very hard to find it. I do own DKC 1 and 2. I have rented in the past DKC 3 and I really liked it. The graphics are awesome and the levels are even more challenging than the other DKC games. In this game the colors are really bright. If I was to suggest one of the DKC games I would say buy this one but then again it is really difficult to find one. A good spot to look is ... if you really want one because I doubt that ... will be getting more in. I might be wrong but ... is selling less and less SNES games so I have a feeling that they wont be selling them soon.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Game, My favorite SNES game., April 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble (Video Game)

Of all of the Donkey Kong games, this one is definitely my favorite. This game is very fun, and the graphics are incredible for a Super Nintendo game. Sure this game can get long: you need to find all of the bonus coins, DK coins, and banana birds in order to get to the boss in the bonus world, but that makes this game fun, and ensures that you have to look extra hard to find all those bonus levels! If you have a Super Nintendo, you must have this game. This game has given me hours and hours of pure fun, and I haven't been disappointed once!
