'''Cotton Top Cove''' (originally spelled as '''Cotton-Top Cove''' in the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] release) is the third world of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', but can also be accessed as the fourth world (and vice-versa for [[Mekanos]]). It features a variety of water-themed, including lakes, waterfalls, and deep underwater areas. Near the waterfalls are various stair-like protrusions in the cliff face. A large lake and a long boardwalk are atop the waterfall. The [[Swanky's Sideshow]] tent (or [[Swanky's Dash]] in the Game Boy Advance remake) is set up near the lake. [[Blue's Beach Hut]] is the [[Brothers Bear]] location of Cotton Top Cove, located at the start. The [[secret cave]] is Bounty Bay, which is near the first level and to the right of the westernmost waterfall. [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]] and [[Kiddy Kong|Kiddy]] can swim in a body of water to access the hidden secret cave from the world map, much like that of [[Lake Orangatanga]].

The manual for ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' describes Cotton Top Cove as the Northern Kremisphere's best vacation spot because of the scenery. Due to the large amount of water in the area, several of Cotton Top Cove's areas are located underwater among the fish and coral reefs. However, [[Kremling]] remnants led by [[KAOS]] chased all tourists away.<ref>{{cite|date=October 1996|title=''Nintendo Power'' Vol. 89|page=37|quote='''COTTON-TOP COVE:''' Cotton-Top Cove is a lovely series of tiered lakes connected by roaring waterfalls. This region was a popular tourist destination before all the Kremlings showed up and chased everyone away. With the exception of a bummed-out bear named Blue, the Cove is deserted. Perhaps Blue could help you out if you found something to cheer him up.|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref><ref>{{cite|author=Owsen, Dan, Kent Miller, and Paul Shinoda|title=''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''
