Item Description

Dixie Kong takes the lead in Donkey Kong Land III, and she brings her cousin Kiddy along whether he is ready or not. A contest to find the legendary Lost World has drawn Donkey Kong, Diddy and the scheming Baron K. Roolenstein into the race, and it falls to the two youngest Kongs to get there first. As the closing chapter of Rare's Donkey Kong Land trilogy, it is a confident send-off for the Kongs on the original Game Boy.

Rare based it closely on Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble, reusing that game's characters, enemies and environments while building its own levels across regions with names that show off the studio's sense of humor: Cape Codswallop, Primate Plains, Blackforest Plateau, Great Ape Lakes and Tin Can Valley. Dixie's ponytail twirl gives you that floaty control over every jump, with the bigger Kiddy as backup when things go wrong. Animal friends return in force, from Ellie the elephant and Squitter the spider to Squawks the parrot and Enguarde the swordfish, and each one changes how a stage plays.

The real hook is the collecting. DK Coins, usually guarded by a shield-carrying Koin, hide in most levels, bonus stages pay out Bonus Coins, and each world's challenge awards a Watch the first time you beat it. Gather what you need and the Lost World itself opens up, a sixth world reserved for players who have scoured every corner. Bears run the Sheepy Shops along the way, adding the same offbeat charm that made DKC3 so distinctive.

It is also a fascinating piece of Game Boy history. The original monochrome version came out in North America and Europe in 1997 but never in Japan, which only received a separate Game Boy Color edition years later. On a Super Game Boy it even gets its own border decorated with pocket watches. Squeezing Rare's rendered Country look onto a four-shade screen was a technical stunt from the start, and DKL III is where that effort looked its sharpest.
