During the early to mid 1990s, video game fans were treated to two masterpieces in the first two Donkey Kong Country games on the Super Nintendo. With both doing great commercially and critically, it's no surprise the train kept chugging along and we get a third game. In 1996, at the tail end of the Super Nintendo's lifespan, the world would get the third and final entry of the SNES Donkey Kong Country trilogy. After serving as the sidekick in the second game, Dixie Kong took center stage, teaming with cousin Kiddy in an attempt to save both Donkey and Diddy from K. Rool. With the 25th Anniversary coming in November 18th, let's take a look at the third game in the DKC series. There are spoilers ahead.
