Control Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong through platforming levels to collect the four Kong letters.

Donkey Kong Land was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy, first released in 1995. It is an original game in the Donkey Kong Land series, not a port of an earlier title, so its original release year is also 1995.

About Donkey Kong Land

Donkey Kong Land is a Game Boy title featuring the ape duo Donkey and Diddy Kong. Their adventure involves confronting various foes such as airborne pigs, aggressive bees, and reptilian Kremlings.

While based on the SNES game Donkey Kong Country, this is not a direct port. It introduces original levels and adversaries. The two playable characters retain abilities similar to their console counterparts. A specific change is the save system, where collecting all four Kong letters is required instead of using Candy Kong's save feature.
