The player can unlock the Time Attack mode by completing the game with every [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]], every [[DK Coin]], and by defeating Baron K.

This was removed from the Game Boy Color version, a holdover from the [[List of Donkey Kong Land III pre-release and unused content#Japanese_Game_Boy_prototype|Japanese prototype]], which did not have enough ROM space to include this feature, and wasn't restored in the final release despite more available ROM space. | ||
