Template:Series-infobox The Donkey Kong Land series is an 8-bit video-game sub-series in the Donkey Kong series, created by Rareware for the Game Boy systems. The series' three games star Donkey Kong, along with other members of the Kong clan, Diddy, Dixie, and Kiddy, who travel through numerous levels in order to defeat King K. Rool and his aliases. The series was inspired by the Donkey Kong Country series, a 16-bit series of games. Because of this, the Donkey Kong Land games share much of the same characters, plots, and music as the latter series. Additionally, every game in the Donkey Kong Country series, excluding the Nintendo Wii game by Retro Studios, Donkey Kong Country Returns, has had a Donkey Kong Land game released alongside it, making the two series more closely related.
