Trapdoors[1] (or trap doors),[2] also referred to as hatches,[3] appear as objects in every mill stage of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! and its Game Boy Advance remake. When walked over, trapdoors open, depositing the player character elsewhere. The trapdoors in Doorstop Dash are hindrances, moving the Kongs back to slightly earlier parts of the stage. A single trapdoor in Murky Mill can lead Ellie to a Bonus Level if the Buzz guarding it is defeated. A trapdoor in Belcha's Barn leads to the actual fight against Belcha. Trapdoors lastly appear in Squeals on Wheels, locked along the central column of the stage, and each of them can be fallen through in sequence after the necessary Sneeks are defeated, taking the player character back to the beginning of the stage, where a metal door leading to the Level Flag has opened.
