==Version Differences==
===Regional Differences===
The Japanese version of the game has various changes from the English version:
* The title was changed to ''Donkey Kong Land: Diddy's Kong Quest''. This is not to be confused with the English ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', which was also renamed in Japanese (to ''Super Donkey Kong GB'').
* As with ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', various enemies have different names in Japanese:
** Krow was renamed to Zocky.
** Click-Click was renamed to Beetle.
** King Zing was renamed to King B.
* While Krazy Koaster and Dungeon Danger were given new names in both languages (compared to DKC2's Haunted Hall and Castle Crush), Krockhead Klamber was also given a new name in the Japanese version, whereas in the English version, it keeps the same name as DKC2.
* Various levels underwent minor layout changes:
** In Bramble Blast, the Zinger before the Star Barrel was removed in the Japanese version.
** In Parrot Chute Panic, in a section shortly after the Star Barrel, two Zingers in close proximity to a DK Barrel were removed in the Japanese version. This ends up fixing a sprite overload issue where the DK Barrel wouldn't appear in the English version if too many Zingers appeared on-screen at once.
** In Kreepy Krow, the rope climbing section was shortened slightly, making this part a bit easier. A hook was moved upwards to compensate.
* In the English version, a glitch involving the bonus stage counter (for stars or enemies) would occur if the player would lose a bonus stage with stars or enemies remaining, and then defeat enemies or collect bananas afterwards; this would cause the Kremkoin chime to be heard once the counter reaches zero. The Japanese version fixes this by resetting the counter to zero when the player would lose a bonus stage. Oddly, this bug fix did not carry over to Donkey Kong Land III, causing the bug to occur in all versions of that game (although only when defeating enemies).
* Cheat codes (see below) do not work in the Japanese version of the game.
===3DS Virtual Console Differences===
* In the levels Lava Lagoon, Glimmer's Galleon, and Clapper's Cavern, any occurrence of the screen flashing (e.g. when the lava would begin to heat up in Lava Lagoon) was slowed down to half its rate on the 3DS, compared to the Game Boy.
