It is a sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and a predecessor to ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Like its predecessor, the game features a yellow cartridge and special features for the [[Super Game Boy]]. The game has a special banana border when played on a Super Game Boy. | ||
''Donkey Kong Land 2'' is very similar to its counterpart [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] title, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. While it has the same storyline, areas, and setting, each level received a new layout. The game also stars [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. | ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' is very similar to its counterpart [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] title, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. While it has the same storyline, areas, and setting, each [[level]] received a new layout. The game also stars [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]]. | ||
The game was eventually rereleased on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in Europe in April 2014, in Japan and Australia in October 2014, and later in February 2015 for North America. | |||

The game progression works the same as in other ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. Each world has some levels (usually five or six) which the Kongs must complete in order until they reach a world boss at the end. After defeating the world boss, Diddy and Dixie can access the next world. Every world has a [[Kong Kollege]], where [[Wrinkly Kong]] can save the player's progress, and a [[Funky's Flights II|Funky's Flights]], where [[Funky Kong]] leases his [[Biplane Barrel]] for the Kongs to travel into another world. | The game progression works the same as in other ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series.

There are either one or two [[Bonus Barrel]]s in every level and one of [[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]s. Each Bonus Barrel leads to a [[Bonus Level]], where the Kongs must complete an objective to obtain a [[Kremkoin]]. Some Bonus Levels can be accessed if the Kongs carry a [[kannonball]] into a [[ | There are either one or two [[Bonus Barrel]]s in every level and one of [[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]s. Each Bonus Barrel leads to a [[Bonus Level]], where the Kongs must complete an objective to obtain a [[Kremkoin]]. Some Bonus Levels can be accessed if the Kongs carry a [[Cannonball|kannonball]] into a [[Cannon|kannon]]. Once the Kongs have collected every Kremkoin, they can access the Lost World. Video Game Hero Coins help improve Diddy's rank in [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes|Video Game Heroes]]. Kremkoins and Video Game Hero Coins are both necessary for 100% [[completion]] of the game. | ||
Some levels have an [[Animal Barrel]], which transform the Kongs into the pictured [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]]. Some Animal Barrels are required to enter while others are hidden from the main path and are optional to enter. As an Animal Friend, the Kongs can often defeat enemies more easily or reach hidden areas and items. In some levels, an Animal Friend is required to use its ability to progress, such as [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]], who can fly up vertical paths. When an Animal Friend crosses a [[No Animal Sign]], it turns back into the Kongs and an item is rewarded. | Some levels have an [[Animal Barrel]], which transform the Kongs into the pictured [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]].

<blockquote>''K. Rool has kidnapped Donkey Kong, and he's demanding the entire banana hoard as ransom! It's up to Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong to rescue their kidnapped pal. Play as either Kong and take advantage of their unique abilities. Diddy Kong's Cartwheel can take out the bulkiest of baddies, while Dixie Kong's Helicopter Spin will let you hover over some tricky spots. There's also a wild assortment of friendly animals ready to help out the two little Kongs. There are over 40 levels to complete—each filled with special traps, collectibles, dastardly Kremlings, and a boatload of barrels to blast out of!</blockquote> | |||
