DK and Diddy Kong have left in search of The Lost World after hearing of a contest to find it on the radio. This leaves Dixie stuck with minding her baby cousin Kiddy Kong. Frustrated at this, she decides to take Kiddy with her and find The Lost World before everyone else! The level archetypes are the same as in Donkey Kong Country 3, which takes place in the "Northern Kremisphere". While the levels have the same environments and the Donkey Kong Country 3 bosses return, the worlds and stage layouts are all unique.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a platforming adventure game where players control Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong as they embark on a quest to find the fabled Lost World. They aim to prove their capabilities and compete against other explorers, including Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong.
Story
The Race Against Time
Usually one of the most restful and laid-back places imaginable, Donkey Kong Country had become a hive of activity in recent days. This followed the announcement of a contest to find the fabled Lost World that had dominated the legends of the area for centuries.
Would-be explorers rushed in from all over the world to seize this long-awaited chance at fame and fortune. DK and Diddy were one of the first to get caught up in the craze.
This left Dixie, quite literally, holding the baby. She sighed, looking down at Kiddy, the massive toddler who skipped along through the jungle at her side.
Normally, she had no objections to baby-sitting Kiddy, but what if she wanted to enter the competition herself? Nobody had even bothered considering that, of course. And why not? Hadn't she done just as much as Diddy in getting DK back from the Kremlings? Of course she had but then, she was only a girl, right?
"Come on, Kiddy," she said firmly, changing her course to lead them to the shore. "It's about time we showed them we're every bit as good as they are."
He might not have had much of an idea of what was going on, but clearly Kiddy knew the makings of a good adventure. Cheering heartily, he bounced along in Dixie's wake as she disappeared into the depths of the jungle.
