I bought Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble to complete my Donkey Kong Country Player's Choice Edition Set. I now have the complete trilogy for BOTH Game Boy Advance and Super Nintendo! Interestingly, about twelve years ago, I rented this game as well as Super Mario World (which I already owned), while I was on a two-week trip to visit my Grandfather who was dying of cancer. (My mom wanted me to have a couple of games to play to keep me happy.) I only had the games for about three days, so I hardly made any progress, but I remembered the music almost note for note, because at the time, it was very comforting. Also, Dixie and Kiddy Kong were so cute, and I had so much fun, that it helped me cope with the loss. This was my introduction to the world of Donkey Kong Country, and I remembered it: from July 1997 to July 2009..... talk about "Deja Vu". As a Christian, I feel I must give God the credit when I am provided with oppurtunities to revisit fond memories from my past. I may have been a little sad when I had to return Donkey Kong Country 3 to the rental store, but I'm so happy that I made this special purchase on ebay. I can now sit back, and play this game clear to the end, and enjoy the wonderful characters and music of this game whenever I want to!Read full review
My sister still loves playing on our old SNES console so I wanted to get her this game as she was missing it from her collection. The game was delivered quickly and worked as advertised, all for a great value. Thank you!

DKC3 remains to be consistent not only in graphics or gameplay, but also storytelling. The price was right for this game on the snes . No buyer's regret here!!

Tough game. Lots of extra hidden garbage. Can't remember everything from when I was younger but game is still very compelling. *!SPOILERS AHEAD!* The story is excellent as well; I nearly cried after barrel drop bounce level when Dixie died after being stung by a bee (too bad epi-pens were not around yet). The remaining kong had to finish without her... You could really resonate with the emotions he must have been processing.

What more can I say about this game other than the third installment of the SNES Donkey Kong Country series and arguably one of the best games for the SNES and in the conversation of best games of all time for anyone who ever put a list together..timeless gameplay…replay-ability…graphics…and sound track…overall a great game that has survived the test of time and has held up as a fun enjoyable game even today

While this isn't the best in the series, that spot is reserved for Donkey Kong Country 2, it is by far the actualization of the first two games. There are more worlds, puzzles, and all around entertainment than ever with the option to once again play with or against your best friends. The story does lack the hero named in the title. Donkey Kong and even Diddy Kong are both nonexistent in this version of the series. While this may be the case, the reprising role of small simian characters goes to Dixie Kong (for those familiar with Donkey Kong Country 2). Levels are much the same as in past installments, linear level running, jumping on enemies, sliding from vine to vine and blasting from barrel to barrel. Its what is expected from a classic Rare game and one from this series. Bear in mind this is the original cartridge coinciding with the original console (for those that do not know). It was released in 1996 and any wear associated with its age is to be expected. The one I purchased did require some cleaning of the connectors in order for it to operate like new, so similar cases could manifest. With those points in mind I fully recommend this title as one of the jewels that was released during the SNES era of gaming. Its not perfect nor is it flashy by any of todays standards, but it is where gaming in 1996 was for those lacking a 64-bit system (namely the Nintendo 64). I personally own all of the current generation systems at the time of this review (those being the Playstation 3, Xbox 360, and the Nintendo Wii). Despite the huge differences in gaming that has evolved in about a decade and a half, I still find myself returning to the Super Nintendo for the classic, nonchalant type of gaming experience.Read full review
If you heard about donkey kong country then you've heard about the mini saga in three games which is a must own to get the full story. its very entertaining and they give you more challenging levels and ways to keep track of your progress. not to mention you also meet a wide variety of new characters. yes donkey kong Country is a good games to keep up on the saga and i love it...but alas there were some need improvements that are a must. like in the end when u collect the banana birds. you can never set foot at wrinkly unless you want to see the end over and over again.which also interrupts your process and anything else your trying to finish, i know i had alot of trouble keeping track of my game after i keep doing the same mistake. but other than that it is a good game and i highly recomended it.Read full review
I love it
