Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)

==Introduction==
Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! was originally released in 1996 on the SNES. It is the third video game in the Donkey Kong Country series. A semi-sequel, called Donkey Kong Land III, was originally released in 1997 on the Game Boy. This article covers the remake of the 1996 original and outlines the changes below.
==Changes==
*Kroctopus is a new boss who replaced Barbos as the boss of Razor Ridge.
*Barbos has been moved to Pacifica, a new hidden world in the game.
*When collecting a Bonus Coin, Dixie and Kiddy stay in the Bonus Level until automatically transported out of the level. In the Super NES version, they walk out of the level.
*Ellie now borrows SFX from Rambi the Rhinoceros Rambi. Previously, she had her own SFX.
*Rolling SFX is now included.
*Enemies borrow their SFX from the previous two Donkey Kong Country remakes for the Game Boy Advance.
*A ping is heard when passing a No Animal Sign, instead of a boom.
*Enguarde's stab has a quicker movement.
*One or two enemies now give Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong a speed boost. In the original, only one was needed.
*Dixie now moves quicker when carrying objects.
*Cranky chats to Dixie and Kiddy after a boss is defeated.
*Cranky runs his own dojo, replacing all of the ones in the area, except for the one in the Northern Kremisphere's main map where Wrinkly now runs her own retreat.
*Bachelor is a new Brothers Bear in this game, making Bachelor relocate to Pacifica.
*Swanky no longer runs his own sideshow. He now runs a virtual reality minigame.
*Funky Kong has his own mini-games now.
*A new soundtrack has been added.
*The Brothers Bears' areas have been redesigned and now share the same music theme.
*The DK Coin is now automatically obtained once Koin is defeated. Also, when one is collected, it shows ?/68 on the screen, as opposed to the original only showing the amount.
*Due to the backlit of the Game Boy Advance, levels such as Murky Mill are brighter.
*Blizzard has been changed from a polar bear to a grizzly bear.
*Swanky's sprite was lazily taken from Donkey Kong Country 2 for the Game Boy Advance.
*The COLOR and MERRY cheats have been removed.

*Flags are added once a Banana Bird Cave is completed.

*Dixie Kong's Photo Album was removed from the game.
*Only the lake turns red when Knautilus is unlocked, as opposed to the entire area.
*After the eruption of Krematoa, the water inside of it can be swum in. Additionally, there is no bridge leading to Knautilus.
*Rocket Rush is more difficult now and includes the letter G (North American version only).
*The Box of Chocolates is a new item added in the game.
*Bramble can be visited at any time after Mekanos is completed.
*Squirt is now tougher to beat. The waterfall ledges are smaller, and the waterfall is purple (as opposed to the previous blue color).
