➤ The complete solution of Donkey Kong Country 3 🕹

2. KREMWOOD FOREST

Springin' Spiders
Bonus Barrel 1: When you transform into Squawks, go up and enter the hole on the left. Follow the bananas until you find a hole to the right, enter it, then enter another cavity to the left, then left again until you get to the first bonus area, where you have to collect 15 bananas in 45 seconds.
Bonus Barrel 2: In the room after the G drop to the bottom to find the bonus area. It's about collecting 30 stars, and it's easier if you're using Dixie.
Koin: In the spot where the purple spider and the red Buzz are, don't jump over the latter. Instead, when the spider has reached the highest point, shoot Dixie in the top left corner of the screen. You'll find yourself on a ledge with a barrel. Pick it up and throw it into the hole to kill Koin. Throw Dixie in the hole and go get the coin.

Riverside Race
Bonus Barrel 1: When you get to the second area with the water, roll off the ledge with Kiddy and press Y when you hit the water to bounce up. Press Y again to get to the bonus area, where you need to collect 15 bananas.
Bonus barrel 2: After the two King-koils, go to the far left corner of the area with the water where the three red Buzz are. The barrel with the exclamation point guarantees you invincibility: jump on the three buzzes and land on the rock with the bonus, in which you have 15 seconds to eliminate 4 enemies.
Koin: Here we have to sacrifice Kiddy. In the last stretch of water, go to the land area to the right and jump with Kiddy towards the bees. Kiddy will be replaced by Dixie, who can glide to the left until he lands on the platform where Koin is. If you land on him, jump once more until you land on dry land. Proceed to eliminate it in the usual way.

Squeals on Wheels
Bonus barrel 1: When you get to the O kill the rat on the wheel, jump on it and reach the platform on the left. Collect 20 stars (easier if you use Dixie).
Bonus Barrel 2: In the room with the two wheels, kill both rodents, jump on the barrels and on the platform with the bonus barrel. In this case you will have to collect 15 bananas without falling off the wheels.
Koin: When you reach the wheel with the two green Buzz flying around it, kill the rat and both Buzzes, get on the wheel and throw Dixie on the platform with Koin and the keg. By now you should know how ...

Barrel Shield Bust-Up
Bonus Barrel 1: When you get to the first TNT barrel, throw it at the left wall and jump to the bonus barrel.
Bonus Barrel 2: When you get to the TNT barrel just before the end-of-level flag, pick it up and throw it at the left wall. Climb the branches, grab Dixie and fly through the hole on the right side of the tree, into the hole in the next tree and from there into the bonus area, where you need to collect 10 bananas.
Koin: When you get to the point where there is a DK barrel and the rope leading up to the room on the right, use Kiddy and throw Dixie up to the left. Climb the branches, enter the room on the left. Pick up the keg, throw it up to the left… and wait for it to hit Koin.

Bobbing Barrel Brawl
Bonus barrel 1: When you get to the point where there is a red Buzz and a Booty Bird flying a little higher, hit the latter with the water and it will drop a barrel of TNT. Jump on it to find the barrel.
Bonus Barrel 2: When encountering two Knik-Knaks, don't kill them. Instead, bounce above them until you reach an elevation that allows you to dive deep and reach the bonus area where you need to collect 10 stars.
Koin: When you find a keg under the two red Buzz going up and down, jump over the Buzz and draw the keg towards you. Throw it at Koin.

Arich's Ambush
Arich is a giant tarantula guarding the forest. Preferably use Dixie at first, keeping Kiddy for later if you get stuck. You can jump on Arich's fur without taking damage, but contact with his claws is dangerous. Use the branches to climb onto his back and retrieve the barrel, then climb to the highest branch on the right. Jump under him, holding the barrel: this will drop him from you and you can hit him in the chin with the barrel. After the second hit, Arich begins spitting poison at you, which bounces around the area. The only safe points are the two bottom corners. When the situation has calmed down, go get another barrel and be careful not to break it. Hit him again and for the last round, make sure you use Kiddy, so Arich's shots can't reach you even if you're in the bottom two corners.

3. COTTON TOP COVE

Bazza's Blockade
Bonus Barrel 1: When you get to the 7 bananas above the Bazza who are swimming to the left, go past them at the bottom and you will find the bonus barrel.
Barrel Bonus 2: When you see a school of Bazza swimming to the right but you can't see where they come from, swim over them to where they came from, quickly pressing B and holding left. You will automatically activate a barrel of Enguarde and to complete the bonus you must get on all the Koco in the area.
Koin: When you get to the flag at the end of the level, don't go up the rope. Instead, continue to the right to find Koin and the barrel.

Rocket Barrel Ride
Bonus Barrel 1: Go to the rocket barrel with a green Buzz on the left and a red Knik-Knak. When you get shot, don't go up the ledge. Hold Y, bounce off the three Knik-Knak and reach the bonus barrel. You have to collect 20 stars.

Tracker Barrel Trek
Bonus Barrel 1: When you see the O go right and glide over the rock. You will come across the bonus barrel that asks you to collect 70 stars in just 25 seconds.
Bonus Barrel 2: When using Ellie you see two Krunchas, kill them both and go up the ramp. You will see two green Buzz guarding the bonus barrel, kill them both by hitting them with water, and jump into the barrel to complete a bonus where you have to kill all the Knik-Knaks.
Koin: When you see it (and you can't miss it), go a little further to the right and cross the sign that prevents you from using Ellie again. In exchange for Ellie you will receive a keg: pick it up, stand next to Koin and throw the keg to the left. Don't lose sight of the keg, or you'll lose it.

Fish Food Frenzy
In this level it is of the utmost importance not to get killed. There is a fish around, called Nibbla, that will follow you everywhere. If you don't feed him enough, he'll eat you! Throw him some Koco to keep him good, do not give him the other fish with spines for any reason. If it stays blue, you can rest easy. If it starts to turn blue-purple, it means you need to feed it, same thing when it turns reddish. Avoid turning it red, otherwise it will eat you.
Bonus Barrel 1: When you see a Lurchin (the fish with thorns) swimming up and down guarding a small section, go past it and enter the bonus area where you have to collect 15 bananas.
Bonus Barrel 2: When you see the three Lurchins swimming up and down, quickly head right and enter the area they are guarding. There is a bonus barrel in plain sight, and in this bonus area you can have Nibbla devour any Koco you need to take out, bringing him back to a good mood.
Koin: When you get to the flag at the end of the level, throw Dixie in the upper left. Pick up the barrel, jump and throw it up left to hit Koin.

Squirt's Showdown
This clam species cannot harm you seriously, however it has a fairly powerful jet of water that can push you off ledges. Trying not to fall is much more difficult than being able to kill her. At first you don't have time to fill the magazine with water, jump from ledge to ledge to avoid the water jets, which come in clockwise direction. Reach the waterfall and stock up on water as much as possible, then return to avoid the jets, this time counterclockwise. Squirt's eyes will appear from behind the waterfall, making him vulnerable. Each eye must receive two jets of water to be hit, but you will hardly be able to land all four hits at once. The attack repeats from the beginning and after hitting Squirt's eyes twice, his attacks get even faster. After five hits for each eye, you will have defeated him.

4. MEKANOS

Fire-Ball Frenzy
Bonus Barrel 1: Immediately after the mid-level barrel, drop down the sixth ledge and throw Dixie in the upper left. Land on another platform, glide to the bonus barrel. In this area you have to eliminate all Buzzes within 20 seconds, using Squitter.
Bonus Barrel 2: When you get to the Karbine which shoots three fireballs in a row, look up to the left and you will see a banana. Throw Dixie at the banana and you will land on a platform. Jump to the area to the right and you will see the bonus, this time you have to collect 15 green bananas within 40 seconds.

Blazing Bazukas
Bonus Barrel 1: When you get to the two Krimp, kill them, grab the TNT and drop off the ledge you are standing on. Continue left and jump over the TNT barrels until you see Bazuka.

Koin: When you get to the sign that prevents you from proceeding with Squawks, in exchange for the parrot you will get a keg with which to hit Koin.

Kaos Karnage
This is your first meeting with Kaos. You can move back and forth under him, but be careful not to get burned. Avoid it as it moves until it stops in the center of the screen and is surrounded by two rotating blades. Your goal is to use these blades as if they were platforms to reach and hit his head. The blades rotate three times, try to avoid the second round because at that moment it will also pull punches from the hips, which if they catch you push you away, preventing you from reaching your head. When you hit him once, he repeats his attack from the beginning, faster. Repeat the process two more times and you will blow off the helmet. Kaos will walk away for a brief moment, leaving you alone with the helmet, which floats in the air and shoots laser beams at you at regular intervals. Avoid these blows by moving at the last moment, when you see that the helmet is about to charge. When Kaos returns, he starts spinning the blades again. Hit him and you'll find yourself face to face with his helmet again. Repeat the above process two more times, and you will have defeated Kaos… for now.

Koin: When you get to the O, go to the lower right to find the barrel. Throw it at Koin.

Bleak's House
Bleak is the kind of enemy who doesn't appreciate unexpected visitors. Instead he tries to send them away with a series of deadly snowballs, but just memorizing the attack pattern of this boss to make life a lot easier. When the battle begins, Bleak immediately throws two snowballs at you, hides and emerges in another place to throw two more snowballs at you, without giving you the material time to fight back. You have to act fast while avoiding him, throwing snowballs at him with A. The next attack phase includes a cannon: he will shoot out of the hat many giant snowballs all at once.

Of course not! K. Roolstein takes out a remote control and presses a button. Two levers are lowered from the ceiling. Crawl under K.Rool and pull one of the levers to pop up a barrel. Crouch when it tries to fly in your direction, pick up the barrel and throw it in the direction of the device that allows it to fly. It will start bouncing all over the place, try to avoid it as much as possible. Repeat the process with the other lever. K.Rool will bring up more levers and activate the metal platforms on which the barrels stood. Before they light up, hurry to flick the leftmost lever and return to the right onto the platform with the barrel. Pick it up and throw it at K. Rool when he turns his back on you. Return to the lever you pulled earlier and return to the platform again. Stay on the platform as he goes to the other side of the room, climb on the approaching platform, avoid K. Rool, pull the lever, return to the platform, avoid the enemy, grab the barrel and throw it in his back. Repeat the process and K.Rool will activate lasers.

Knautilus
And here we are in the last fight with K. Rool. Avoid the fireballs and lasers, collect the metal barrel that appears. After a while these weapons will stop firing, take advantage of them to throw the barrel when K. Rool is more or less in the center of the screen, hitting him in the head. He will approach you in a rage, but you go get another metal barrel and try to hit him in the back. Trying to figure out where he will attack is the key to getting out of it, and this battle ultimately turns out to be slightly easier than the one you faced in your first encounter with K. Rool.

Lakeside Limbo
Bonus barrel 1: when you get to the crevice in the ground, grab Kiddy, approach the crevice and throw him up so that he breaks it. You have to collect 70 stars (they are all in the same area and can be reached with a couple of jumps).
Bonus Barrel 2: At the N, get into the water and follow the bananas to the barrel. In this area you have to collect 15 bananas.
Koin: Right after the first bonus barrel, pick up the barrel and pull it to the right so it bounces and hits Koin in the back.

Doorstop Dash
Bonus barrel 1: At the first rope continue to the left. Do you see that lever hanging from the ceiling? Throw Kiddy at us and once the door is open, run inside before it closes. Collect 60 stars.
Bonus barrel 2: where you see the rat above the bags, go right instead of going left, pull the lever and enter the room.
Koin: After the G, when you need to jump into the hole, hold left as you fall, and you'll land in a room. Pull the lever to open the door and throw the barrel through it. Stay where you are and it will bounce off the wall and kill Koin.

Tidal Trouble
Bonus barrel 1: After the second Knocka jump into the water and grab Enguarde's barrel, so you can use the swordfish. Continue to the right, killing the Koco that stand in your way to get to the barrel and collect 30 stars.
Bonus Barrel 2: When you get to the two Knik-Knaks, jump on them to land on the platform. Then if you use Kiddy, roll off the end. When you hit the water, jump again, and then again to get to the platform. Instead with Dixie start running, jump off the ledge and fly to the other platform. This bonus area consists of jumping on enemies' heads and destroying them to get to the other side.
Koin: At first, throw Dixie at the house with the barrel on the roof. Jump and throw him to the right, holding down as you do so and making sure he doesn't hit Koin's shield.

Skidda’s Row
Bonus Barrel 1: After the second cesspool jump and fly with Dixie to the barrel. In this case it is a matter of eliminating all four Skidda in ten seconds.
Bonus Barrel 2: After the N you will see two Skidda on top of a house. Kill them both to find the bonus barrel. In this area you will have to reach the end of an obstacle course within 15 seconds.
Koin: After the mid-level barrel you will find Koin in a hole with the barrel nearby. Jump and throw it to the left - you won't see it for a few seconds, but it will eventually bounce back, killing Koin.

Murky Mill
Bonus Barrel 1: Near the mid-level barrel is a green Buzz blocking a trap door. Jump on it, grab the barrel and kill the enemy. Enter the hatch to access the bonus area, where you have to eliminate four Buzzes by throwing barrels at them.
Bonus barrel 2: In the room with the two King-koils, go up to the platform that goes down to the left, continue to the left, press and hold Y to draw a barrel towards you, killing a Buzz. Jump into the hole he was guarding to find the bonus barrel.
Koin: In the room after the first bonus barrel, on the right, you will find Koin. Pick up the barrel, jump to the platform and throw it into the opening above Koin. The barrel will come back and kill him.

Belcha’s Barn
Belcha is the guardian of the lake. To defeat him you don't have to hit him as many times as possible, but try to push him off the platform before he has the opportunity to do it with you. When the yellow Knik-Knak appears, grab it and throw it in the mouth of Belcha (use Kiddy, he is more accurate in throwing), who will make a loud burp, back off. Repeat the process three times, quickly, and Belcha will fall off the platform by himself, propelled by his digestive gases.
