Level 3-DK is the eighth level of Fire Mountain in Mario vs. Donkey Kong and its remake, beginning immediately after the player completes Level 3-mm. In the GBA version, the high score for this level is 18500. In the Nintendo Switch remake, the target time for this level's Time Attack is 40.00.

Overview[edit]

Like with other Donkey Kong boss levels, Donkey Kong has four lives and the amount of lives the player has is dependent on how many Mini-Marios were collected in the previous level. If the player selects this stage from the level select screen, they will begin with four lives. Donkey Kong attacks by throwing down barrels and lava rocks, which bounce down the platforms towards the ground. The player will need to either avoid the lava rocks, or deflect them with a Handstand. When tossing barrels, Donkey Kong will cycle between tossing a barrel that flips vertically as it falls, one that rolls on its side as it falls, and throwing a barrel directly downward. Barrels that flip vertically and barrels that are thrown downward will always land upright, but barrels that roll on their side will fall offscreen. However, barrels that roll sideways can be deflected upright with a Handstand. Once a barrel lands upright, the player can pick it up and throw the barrel at Donkey Kong when they are on one of the higher platforms. Throwing four barrels at Donkey Kong will defeat him. He will then leave and the player will enter Spooky House (Merry Mini-Land in the remake).
