Manual description - SNES (US):

    Trouble Again!

    Months after their victory against King K. Rool and his army of baddies, the Kongs were still celebrating. Soaking up the sun in their favorite glade on DK Island, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong often slung up hammocks, hit the music and spent the day chilling out with banana milkshakes. If she couldn't think of anything better to do, Dixie Kong sometimes joined them.

    This morning, though, Dixie was surprised to find Diddy's room deserted. Up and about so early? That wasn't like him. It was only as she turned to leave that she spotted the scribbled note on the table. "Gone exploring the islands with DK," it read. "Back tomorrow!" Dixie could remember at least three times that they'd already tried this plan. Each time, they'd never made it further than the beach. That's where she first went looking for them.

    She realized well before she got to the beach that it was far too quiet for Donkey and Diddy to be anywhere near. Surely they hadn't followed one of their hare-brained schemes all the way through for once? The sun moved slowly across the sky and melted on the western horizon. Dixie hoped that her friends were having fun, wherever they were, as she settled into bed with a yawn.

    When morning came again, another brief swing through the branches confirmed that Diddy was still off on his little expedition. Dixie found herself starting to worry. She could only imagine what kind of trouble Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong were into. As the day crawled on and the night fell on the jungle, neither of the primates showed up. Again, Dixie could do nothing but head home to bed and hope that they'd be back by dawn.

    The next day came, but neither Donkey nor Diddy returned. Dixie had to find out what those two primates were doing! She made her way to the southern part of DK Island and swam to the nearest mainland.

    When she got there, she happened upon Wrinkly Kong's home. Wrinkly Kong told Dixie that the boys had passed by, but they hadn't said were they were going. She suggested that maybe the boys visited Funky Kong at his beach shop. As Dixie was leaving, Wrinkly asked if she'd look for the mysterious Banana Birds. The birds have been seen in the cave across from Funky's Rentals, but no one seems to know how to get them out. Dixie agreed and thanked Wrinkly for her help. She set out to see Funky at his shop.

    Funky Kong was busy working one of his inventions, and his shop was full of unusual items. He can find a use for anything that he gets his hands on. Funky told Dixie that the only visitor he's had all week was Kiddy Kong. Funky pointed across the room to the cuddly toddler who was chewing on an old spare tire. Funky asked Dixie if she wanted to take Kiddy with her. He's strong and can take good care of himself. Dixie agreed and the two were off. Before they left, Funky told them to keep their eyes peeled for some cool junk! He also told them to visit his friendly pals, the Brothers Bear, for help.

    Once on their travels, Dixie and Kiddy discover a whole new collection of Kremlings who seem to have a new Master named KAOS.

Back of Box – SNES (Austria, Germany, and Switzerland):
    Donkey und Diddy Kong gelten als vermißt. Auf ihrer Entdeckungsreise quer durch die Donkey Kong-Insel haben die beiden mit einem neuen, geheimnisvollen Anführer der Kremlings Bekannt-schafft gemacht: KAOS! Seitdem sitzen Donkey und Diddy in Kaos Labor fest und warten auf Rettung.
    Diese naht in Form von Dixie und ihrem neuen Partner Kiddy Kong, einem Reisen-Affen-Baby, das jetzt schon sämtliche Waagen überlastet. Mit ihrer frechen Baseball-Mütze und dem blonden Pferdeschwanz räumt Dixie auch diesmal gewaltig auf. Doch auch ihr neuer Partner hat einiges zu bieten; dank seinem Körpergewicht ist es für Kiddy ein Leichtes. Risse im Boden zu vergrößern oder von Wänden abzuprallen und als lebendige Kugel die Gegner aus dem Gleichgewicht zu bringen. Hilf den beiden in die unerforschten Gebiete der Donkey Kong-Insel vorzudringen und das Kaos-Labor am Ende der Welt zu finden.
    Teamwork ist wichtiger denn je, denn nur zusammen lassen sich die Geheimnisse der Insel erkunden und die neuen Gegner besiegen!

    Dixie Kong is back! This time she is on a quest to rescue the captured Diddy Kong and Donkey Kong. The game play and Advanced Computer Modeling (ACM) graphics just keep getting better. This is a visually stunning installment of one of the most popular video game series of all time.

    Kiddy Kong, Dixie Kong's sidekick, makes his debut in this quest. Kiddy is a portly infant chimp with his own special abilities, like opening cracks in the floor with this enormous weight. Play as Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong and take advantage of their unique abilities! Plus, Dixie and Kiddy can team up for some special moves. For instance, when Dixie throws Kiddy against a wall, Kiddy will bounce off and begin to roll so Dixie can hop on top of him and roll him like a barrel. You'll also find the familiar animal buddies Enguarde, Squawks and Squitter to help you, and you'll meet two new animal helpers: Ellie the Elephant and Parry the Parallel Bird.

    Run, jump, spin and hop through 48 levels (plus tons of bonus levels) as you collect tremendous amounts of treasure, grab billions of bananas and find more secret stuff than you've ever seen (or not seen) as you set off on the greatest DKC adventure yet. The final showdown with KAOS takes place in a cliff-top laboratory at the End of the World. It could get seriously ugly. Monkey mayhem lives on in this exotic island adventure!
