In the game Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have gone missing. You play as Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong, where you’ll take advantage of each of their unique abilities as they throw each other into action in over 40 levels. There are plenty of collectibles\u2014including Bear Coins, which grant access to the services of the Brothers Bear, and Banana Birds, which Wrinkly Kong has a deep fondness for.<\/p>\n Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble<\/em> will set you back $7.99 USD and is for some reason ONLY playable on the New Nintendo 3DS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The hunt is on!
