Donkey Kong Land 2 Game Boy

Donkey Kong Land 2

Donkey Kong Land 2 is a Game Boy game released in 1996. It is the sequel to the 1995 Game Boy game Donkey Kong Land and was developed by Rare and published by Nintendo. It was enhanced for the Super Game Boy with different shades of color, as well as a 16-bit banana border on the edges of the television screen. Like the original Donkey Kong Land, it came packaged in a banana-yellow cartridge.

Donkey Kong Land 2 stars Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong in their conquest to rescue Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew. While its stage names are borrowed from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (except for Castle Crush, which became Dungeon Danger; and Haunted Hall, which became Krazy Koaster), the level designs are brand new. Donkey Kong Land 2 had the same storyline from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The manual contains a simplified version of the story from its SNES counterpart - K. Rool has kidnapped Donkey Kong and is at Crocodile Isle, and it's up to Diddy and Dixie to save him.

The controls are as follows:

Dpad - Moves your character left and right, and on occasion up and down ropes/ladders.
A - Jump
B - Activates the characters sideways attack, usually used for beating enemies. Also used to pick up barrels, crates, eggs, cannonballs, etc.
Start - Pauses the game.
Select - Switches between Diddy and Dixie. The option of switching will not be available if you don't see the picture of your partner in the bottom right.

*TIP*

Holding B while you run and climb ladders/ropes will make you move much faster.
