Donkey Kong Country 3 is the last of the SNES trilogy, and honestly, it’s got this weirdly cozy vibe compared to the first two. Instead of tropical jungles, you’re bouncing around pine forests, snowy peaks, and even a creepy factory—like someone mashed up a lumberjack adventure with a robot uprising. Dixie’s back (still the best Kong, fight me), but now she’s stuck babysitting Kiddy, this chunky toddler who’s weirdly useful for throwing stuff.

The story? Classic DK nonsense. Donkey and Diddy vanished on a fishing trip (sure, guys), so Dixie and Kiddy have to track them down while dodging Baron K. Roolenstein’s latest scheme—this time with a mad scientist twist. The levels are packed with hidden nooks, secret barrels, and those bears they randomly threw in? No explanation, just vibes. If you liked the first two, this one’s got the same tight platforming but with a weirder, almost autumnal feel. It’s the underrated one in the trilogy, but it holds up.
