Donkey Kong Land III

Box art of Donkey Kong Land III.

Donkey Kong Land III (or Donkey Kong Land 3) was the third and final entry in the Donkey Kong Land trilogy of games for the original Game Boy. Like its predecessors, it was a follow-up to the Donkey Kong Country games for the Super Nintendo, in this case Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Like the other games in the Donkey Kong Land series, Donkey Kong Land III was enhanced for the Super Game Boy and was packaged with a yellow cartridge.

Trivia

• A Game Boy Color version of the game was released in Japan as "Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong and Dixie Kong" (Dinky Kong is Kiddy Kong's name in Japan). For unknown reasons, it was not released outside of Japan.

• Initially, Donkey Kong Land III had a subtitle called "The Race Against Time". Prior to release, the subtitle was removed, presumably to allow the game to fit in better with the other Donkey Kong Land games, which (unlike the SNES games) have no subtitles.

• A Krumple is seen on the box art of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, as well as this game's.

• Donkey Kong Land III is the only Rare Donkey Kong game in which Donkey Kong does not appear.
