The best things about it were the cloud & city levels that weren't in the SNES game, it wasn't just a straight port of that game. The game was a lot more playable on the Super Gameboy. Considering they only had 4 grey shades to work with, the whole trilogy turned out remarkably well, and they did improve a lot of the problems in the 2nd and 3rd game. I've always felt that the games that stand the test of time are the ones that worked within the limitations of the system they were made for, like Contra for the NES for example, they didn't try to make it look like the arcade and ended up making something that was actually better by reprogramming it. |

I will say that the music in Donkey Kong Land is great, simply recreating a bunch of the DKC music wouldn't of worked since a lot of the tracks are more ambient, and that doesn't match the Game Boy at all, so they created some more punchy upbeat music alongside a few select exceptions. I also love how it seems like the game is rebooting or something every time your move to another screen. flashes to white screen with a faint little blip sound like you just hit the reset button. |
