Game Versions: What's Different?
When Donkey Kong Country 3 was re-released for the Game Boy Advance, some things were changed. Here are a few of the biggest differences:
- New Mini-Games: The Game Boy Advance version added three new mini-games. These include Funky's Rentals, Swanky's Dash, and Cranky's Dojo.
- Saving Your Game: In the SNES game, you saved at Wrinkly's Save Cave. The Game Boy Advance version lets you save from the menu, so Wrinkly's Save Cave was replaced with Cranky's Dojo.
- Different Music: The Game Boy Advance version has a completely new soundtrack. Some fans of the original SNES game prefer the old music.
- Updated Graphics: The backgrounds and world maps were redone. The Game Boy Advance version is the only Donkey Kong Country game on that system where you can see the whole world map zoomed out.
- New World and Boss: The Game Boy Advance version includes a brand new world called Pacifica. This world also has a new boss, Kroctopus.
- Level Changes: Some levels, like Rocket Rush, were made more challenging. For example, the rocket's fuel meter was changed, and you had to press a button to use its afterburn.
- Saving Lives: The Game Boy Advance version saves the number of extra lives you have. This made the game a bit easier for some players.
