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...
Donkey Kong Country was a game that proved that you don't need CD-based technology to make games with flashy graphics
In a world where there were CDs, companies like Sega and 3DO had tried to capitalize on the concept of playing video games on a CD, giving the games enhanced graphics and sound
Cranky Kong claims that the game only sold well because of the game's "fancy graphics" and that "kids would buy anything these days"

I'm actually really surprised that the water stages, for example, are significantly more fun here than they are in the DKC series.
It seems like the water stages were more thought out in this game
The stage where a squid is chasing you through a deep underwater maze is definitely really creepy (because he never STOPS chasing you) but more importantly these water stages are really exciting (and challenging).
