'''''Donkey Kong Land''''', known in Japan as '''''Super Donkey Kong GB''''', is a video game that was developed by [[Rare, Ltd.|Rareware]] for the [[Game Boy]]. Released in 1995, it was a handheld follow-up of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', and the game's pseudo sequel. The game was also one of the few Game Boy games to feature a specially colored cartridge (yellow), which was also used on the sequels, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'' and ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. It was one of the first games to feature Super Game Boy special features, including a rendered jungle border across the television screen. | '''''Donkey Kong Land''''', known in Japan as '''''Super Donkey Kong GB''''', is a video game that was developed by [[Rare, Ltd.|Rareware]] for the [[Game Boy]].

The game is often mistaken as a Game Boy 'port' of Donkey Kong Country. Although this is true in the manner that the two games play the same using the same engine - it is false because not only is the storyline different, but ''Donkey Kong Land'' has different levels, enemies, and bosses from the ones featured in Donkey Kong Country. | The game is often mistaken as a Game Boy 'port' of ''Donkey Kong Country''.

==Animal Buddies== | |||

Unlike ''Donkey Kong Country'', ''Donkey Kong Land'' is filled with very little [[Animal Buddies]], a total of only two. In fact, Animal Buddies seldom appear in most levels. It should also be noted that the Animal Buddies here are unable to shoot through barrels, and they will suddenly drop to the ground once these obstacles are approached. Still, they can be a big help in the Kongs' quest with their different abilities. Below shows the capabilities and appearances of both Animal Buddies in the game, [[Rambi the Rhinoceros]] and [[Expresso the Ostrich]]. | |||
*'''Rambi the Rhinoceros''', first appearing in the level, [[Jungle Jaunt]], is played most during gameplay next to Expresso. He is able to charge into enemies to easily defeat them. Sometimes, although rarely, Rambi is able to break through certain walls to create an opening to a [[Bonus Level]]. Because of this, Rambi is quite an important buddy, and he is needed to complete the game 100%. | |||
*'''Expresso the Ostrich''' is the other Animal Buddy in ''Donkey Kong Land'', alongside Rambi. First appearing in a Bonus Level located in [[Deck Trek]], Expresso is able to help the Kongs cross wide abysses with his useful flying abilities. Strangely, this helpful capability is never used to find any Bonus Levels, but is instead used ''inside'' them. Out of his four appearances, three of them take place in a Bonus Level. | |||
