It is one of the first games to feature [[Super Game Boy]] special features, including a rendered jungle border across the television screen.

The game is often mistaken as a Game Boy "port" of ''Donkey Kong Country''. Although it is true that the two games play the same using the same engine, the storyline is different and ''Donkey Kong Land'' has different levels, enemies, and bosses from the ones featured in ''Donkey Kong Country''.
