Product Description

The original instigator of monkey mayhem is here in DONKEY KONG LAND for the Game Boy. Once again, those nasty reptile Kremlings are wreaking havoc in Donkey Kong Land, and it's up to Donkey Kong and his little buddy Diddy to stop them. DONKEY KONG LAND spans 30 original levels that cover snowy mountains, deep jungles, forgotten temples, underwater passages, and musty old pirate ships. The game is also big on secrets, with 40 hidden areas to uncover. To get through the levels, you'll want to enlist the help of some animal friends Rambi the rhino and Espresso the ostrich return from the DONKEY KONG COUNTRY series of games, and they're joined by a flying pig, a mole, a ram, and even a tornado!

GameSpot Review
Rare has achieved miracles here, it's as simple as that. State-of-the-art Silicon Graphics workstations have been used to bring Donkey Kong Land to life, and the amount of detail in the graphics is stunning. Adding to fantastic graphic is the fact that there's a well-crafted and immensely enjoyable platform game in here, too. Donkey Kong and his faithful sidekick Diddy Kong must monkey their way around more than 30 different levels, collecting bananas, trouncing Kremlings, and generally going ape. In typical Nintendo fashion, there are countless bonuses to collect, secret levels to find, and all sorts of primate-related video gaming goodness. With plenty of long-term playability and challenge, Donkey Kong Land is an absolute necessity - and best of all, it comes in a neat banana yellow cartridge. --Cameron Davis

PLAY THIS GAME!
DONKEY KONG LAND. The adaption of the original couldn't be better. This action-packed game takes you through four worlds: Jungle, Water, Cave and City, each filled with funner-than-fun levels filled with bad guys, bonus levels, and more! The exciting cast includes Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and King K. Rool! Take my advice and buy this on the spot. It's rare, so if you find it somewhere, then it's your lucky day.

Donkey Kong Land: The Main Game
If you want maximum fun, maximum graphics, and probably the best Game Boy Game ever made, Donkey Kong Land is exactly what you're looking for. With a strange but fun storyline, our two heroes: Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong start out in the Jungle, which is probably is the funnest type of level in the game. Kicking Marios' butt, Donkey Kong can save three files, has four worlds with about fifteen to twenty action-packed levels, and a worthy boss at the end of each world. (Including King K. Rool) I played it, I loved it, and I'll play it again and again for as long as I can.

Donkey Kong -- New and improved
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are back in an exciting, new game featuring new enemies, secret passageways, and new places to journey through, such as the jungle, the mountains, a temple, underwater, or aboard an abandoned pirate ship. In this adventure, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong are going on a journey with many different and unique levels and worlds. You may even need to use your enemies to pass some levels, but watch out! Other enemies may seemingly "pop" out of nowhere! You start out with five lives for each level, but if you are cunning, clever, and keen, you will aquire bananas along the trail. If you aquire one hundred bananas, you earn an extra life. But be careful. You may have to be aware of any enemies near the bananas. Some of them seem like traps. I strongly suggest purchasing this new, exciting, fun game for GameBoy and GameBoy Color.
