Story[]

Many months after the Kremling Krew's defeat in Donkey Kong Country 2, the monkeys are all still very happy and still are partying. Also, they are said to be lying on hammocks drinking banana shakes. One day, Dixie noticed that Diddy had left early. She then found a dropped note saying that Donkey and Diddy himself are out on a trip to seek out the Northern Kremisphere.

After a few days of searching, Dixie still notices that Donkey and Diddy are gone missing. She first goes to Wrinkly who explains to her about Banana Birds and saves her game. Then, she goes to Funky's Rentals where Funky gives Dixie her toddler cousin, Kiddy, the only customer in the rentals. Soon enough, Dixie and Kiddy both went on an adventure to seek out the two monkeys.

With the help of Wrinkly and the Brothers Bears, the monkeys scavenged through lakes, forests, coral reefs, and pipelines throughout Lake Orangatanga, Kremwood Forest, Cotton-Top Cove, Mekanos, K3, Razor Ridge, and Pacifica (exclusive to the Game Boy Advance version) until they finally reached KAOS Kore.

When scavenging through the KAOS Kore, Dixie and Kiddy finally reach the castle where KAOS is found. KAOS rematches the two monkeys. When KAOS is defeated, a curtain opens up, revealing that Baron K. Roolenstein is the one who had been controlling KAOS the entire time. Out of rage, Baron K. Roolenstein decides to battle the two monkeys. Once Baron K. Roolenstein is defeated, a Bonus Coin pops up. The Kongs collect it, and the headless KAOS machine bounces down, throwing Donkey and Diddy out of it. (Donkey and Diddy

Even though the two monkeys are rescued, the adventure is not over for Dixie and Kiddy. They still need to find the lost world of Krematoa, which is hidden underwater, with four rocks circling it. Once inside, rocks are needed to be busted to access the levels in the area, depending on the number of Bonus Coins collected. Once all of the levels are completed, Baron K. Roolenstein is seen once more and can be rematched. Once he is defeated, he still doesn't stop. Dixie and Kiddy then have to gain all of the DK Coins to obtain the Gyrocopter, allowing them to soar at great heights and find all of the Banana Birds who are needed to break the barrier of the Banana Bird Queen who soon kicks Baron K. Roolenstein out of the Northern Kremisphere.
