Donkey Kong Land
Donkey Kong Land that their first adventure was such a big hit because of
all the fanciful graphics and sound. He challenges that
they’d never cut it on an 8-bit system, and then proceeds
to get King K. Rool to steal the Banana Hoard once again.
King K. Rool agrees with Cranky and steals the bananas
from the Banana Hoard again.
Gameplay
There are several gameplay mechanics that were
changed to better suit the Game Boy. Only one Kong was
displayed at one time because of the smaller screen,
while the second one teleports out when the other gets
hit by an enemy or by pressing the SELECT button. There
are four worlds in Donkey Kong Land, all newer than DK
Country’s, but including some of the same level arche-
North American box art types as seen in Donkey Kong Country. They all took place
on and off the coast of Donkey Kong Island.
