==Current Fastest Time==
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8OcDV7aS35A 34:51 (RTA) by mike89]

===Timing Note===
RTA timing begins from file select, and ends when collecting the bonus coin after K. Rool Duel. SDA timing would begin slightly later, with the endpoint being identical. The in-game timer is only accurate to the minute, and is therefore not used.

==Preliminary Notes==
Donkey Kong Land III is a simple platformer, and so much of the run above speaks for itself. Only tips non-obvious from watching a speedrun of the game will be included here.
One such tip is: when starting a level, you should actually not be holding B. If you do, your character spins on the spot for a while. Instead, hold right (or left) and press B as soon as you see the character on screen.
If a stage has (L) next to its name, then the stage starts by moving left. Otherwise it starts by moving right.

==World 1: Cape Codswallop==
===1-1 Red Wharf===

===1-2 Seabed Shanty===

===1-3 Ford Knocks===

===1-4 Total Rekoil===
*After going through the warp, you should hold B as well as left as you reappear: you spawn in the air so you won't spin on the spot. This is the only time this happens in an any% run.

===1-5 Koco Channel===

===1-6 Liftshaft Lottery===

===Boss: Barbos Bastion===
*A good way to time the attacks here is to watch the Lurchin flash. After seven flashes you should attack, and that should time it just after it opens up.

==World 2: Primate Plains==
===2-1 Coral Quarrel===

===2-2 Minky Mischief===
*It's faster to climb up vertical ropes by jumping back and forth than climbing, but the motion is a bit tricky.

===2-3 Jetty Jitters===

===2-4 Black Ice Blitz===

===2-5 Riverbank Riot===

===2-6 Miller Instinct===

===Boss: Bleak Magic===

==World 3: Blackforest Plateau==
===3-1 Rocketeer Rally (L)===

===3-2 Vertigo Verge===

===3-3 Polar Pitfalls===
*In the snow levels, wait a bit longer before pressing B at the start of the stage. Otherwise, your start will be quite slow.

===3-4 Surface Tension===

===3-5 Tundra Blunda===

===3-6 Redwood Rampage===

===Boss: Arich Attack===
*If you're not Kiddy already, switch to Kiddy at the start of the fight.
*You can do the damage boost on any hit and it will save an equal amount of time. The video above demonstrates it on the third hit, and you should aim to get hit by the last shot as it comes into a vertical line with the rightmost of Arich's legs. Then hold A as the character switch occurs, and Arich should drop instantly into his diving attack.
