Summary

Donkey Kong Land 3 for the Gameboy is one quality title. It is amazing how Rare have managed to fit so much game into one tiny cartridge. Anyone who has played the SNES version will know how playable and addictive this series of games is. Donkey Kong Land 3 is a portable version that will have you hooked immediately. This game is so accessible because it plays incredibly well.

DKL3 is a two-dimensional platform game, a style of game that is well suited to the Gameboy. You take on the roles of Dixie and Kiddy Kong and guide them through 36 levels in an attempt to find the fabled lost cities. Luckily, you have the help of numerous animal friends to help you on your quest. In the underwater levels, for example, you can turn into a swordfish that is adept at coping with his environment.

Alternating control of two characters makes dealing with the levels that little bit easier. If one of your buddies should fall to their end, then the other jumps in and takes over. One of the best features of DKL3 is all the secret bonus levels that are hidden within the game. It will take a lot of playing to discover everything that this title has to offer.
