Toboggans appear as vehicles used inDonkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! andDonkey Kong Land III. They are the successor toMine Carts fromDonkey Kong Country andRoller Coasters fromDonkey Kong Country 2. Despite its name, the toboggan more closely resembles abobsled. Toboggans are only featured in a few levels, either set in a snowy region or in an underground pipeline. They are always the main feature of levels they appear in.

Overview[edit]

Kiddy Kong and Dixie Kong ride through the pipeline at Demolition Drain-Pipe.
A toboggan used inDemolition Drain-Pipe

Toboggans allowDixie andKiddy to quickly transport through a level. They are forced to ride in it from start to finish for every level it appears in. TheKongs can land the toboggan on aBuzz to defeat it. They have almost no control over the toboggan, as they cannot control its speed, stop it from moving, or even exit from it until they end up in anAuto-Fire Barrel. While they ride the toboggan, the Kongs can only jump with it. The vehicle's rapid motion causes the Kongs to be vulnerable to crashing into obstacles or enemies, especially Buzzes.

Toboggans only appear in two levels, both in which they are the main feature:Demolition Drain-Pipe andTearaway Toboggan. The Kongs ride it through an underground pipeline in the former, and through a snowy region in the latter. Demolition Drain-Pipe has ceilings with silver railings that the toboggan can grip onto, specifically for collectingbananas or aK-O-N-G Letter. In theGame Boy Advance remake, a toboggan appears in a third level,Surf's Up, which is another pipeline stage.

Toboggans also appear in two levels inDonkey Kong Land III. LikeDonkey Kong Country 3, one level is snowy while the other is set in a pipeline,Black Ice Blitz andWhiplash Dash. Toboggans function mostly identically in this game, but a few features were removed. The toboggan can no longer defeat Buzzes, and jumping on one injures Dixie or Kiddy. The pipeline stage, Whiplash Dash, has no ceiling rails for the toboggan to grip on.

Toboggans reappear as ridable vehicles in theMammoth Glacier stage ofDonkey Kong: Barrel Blast.
