Razor Ridge is the sixth world of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!.
Razor Ridge is in a mountain area located near a large fissure and filled with whirling machinery. Due to the fissure, the only way to travel between areas is through the use of a chairlift. Razor Ridge has many caves and vast areas of cliffs. At the base of the cliffs are cesspools with pitch-black water, created from floodwater runoff.[1]
Razor Ridge has two chairlifts that are operated by the Brothers Bear twins, Benny and Björn respectively. Benny's Chairlifts is found near the start of Razor Ridge, and Björn's Chairlifts is on the other side of Razor Ridge. When Dixie and Kiddy give the No.6 wrench to Björn, he fixes the chairlifts, allowing them to reach the secret cave, Clifftop Cache.
Barbos is the boss of Razor Ridge, and its domain is in a small lake at the center-right part of Razor Ridge. In the Game Boy Advance version, the world boss was changed to Kroctopus, and Barbos was made the boss of Pacifica instead.
