This colorization process is just mind blowing, i hardly can believe this colorization was unofficially done by a homebrewer and not by rare.

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

But it literally looks this good if you just play the original game on a Gameboy color/advance.

[@RedTabletTalk]

Fun fact! That boss music in Donkey Kong Land is the very same music as one of the levels in Blast Corps on Nintendo 64! It’s that country Wayne Duncan theme!

[@___Runnaz3768]

And I thought I was the only one that noticed it

[@RedTabletTalk]

I played this game during my seventh grade year when I started playing football and was standing on the sidelines all the time since I didn’t know football and even the nerds were laughing at me. I would often be in my own world. One of the few kids who did tolerate me let me borrow this donkey Kong land game. I had so much fun playing this game and this was before I played Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. To me, some of the music in Donkey Kong Land is more catchy than the ones in Donkey Kong Country and that right there is what kept me playing! Also gotta love it when the bonus levels give you a glimpse of the later levels in the game!

I still can't believe they managed to pull this off on the first GB console, even if it was without any color. Before playing it I thought it would be a lot simpler and boring, but I enjoyed it as much as the other DKC titles.

[@stevenswapp4768]

I loved playing the black and white on Gameboy color and being able to choose a color scheme!

[@fireboltthunder2360]

This game would be so much better in color. Some of the things I can't even see because they blend right in with the background

[@Gameboy-Unboxings]

Just play the original DKL on a Gameboy color/advance & it looks just like this pretty much. No lie.

[@CRIMI0N]

This looks really good. One of the problems with the original is sometimes the background is too busy and the colours here make it much easier to see and separate the foreground and the background. The thing that amazes me is the Kritters: The standard walking ones green and the jumping ones blue like it's bigger Country counterpart. That's amazing effort. This is a good colour hack. EDIT: One thing I also like to praise too, is the cut music being restore and level names that where only found in the manual iirc. Now if only we have a fan game of this with Snes graphics...

And then there's chunky! He's dead.

Ese juego en ese momento no se conocía en ese formato de Gameboy.

[@dillonkinder9296]

A DK masterpiece

[@dacueba-games]

Well these are pretty cool bananas.

[@ghostspirit1855]

this game was really tough i could never get past the second level on world 2. those snap type fish things really bothered me

[@javierriveram1988]

They don't only colorized the game, they add names to the levels too!!

[@MrOrthopedia]

Is this a rom hack? I don't remember DKL having that much colour.

[@StreetMozart]

If it is indeed a ROM hack, you can find it under the name of Donkey Kong Land: New Colors Mode.

[@johneysupergd7796]

This colorization process puts the official colorized version of donkeykong land 3 as well as the gbc version of donkeykong country into SHAME,why because both game’s colors are waaaaaay toooo overbrighted,why couldn’t they just used much warmer and more realistic colors instead??? as it could,ve make those versions like a bit closer to it’s 16bits brothers, This version just pretty much looks perfect because those colors are NOT too overbrighted thus making everything look more real.😁

[@RedTabletTalk]

At 39:09 I had thought that song was a women’s rights anthem. That’s another catchy song I liked in this game!

[@randomthings7997]

The fuck?!

[@cringer8107]

Idk why but my rom doesntwork , hacktool says patch was successful but my emulators dont play the rom

[@StreetMozart]

Try the core (TGB Dual) in retroarch, It is the one I use and the game works fine for me.

[@TJZOfficial]

But there's already a Donkey Kong Land on Gameboy Color

[@ikagura]

No, that's Donkey Kong Country getting a demake. DK Land had different looking levels and unique worlds.

[@TJZOfficial]

@@ikagura oh, I get it now but what about that Donkey Kong Country 3 Demake that was only in Japan?

[@ikagura]

@@TJZOfficial That's Donkey Kong Land 3. I know it's confusing but for some reason DK Land 2 and 3 are closer to their home console counterparts while the first was more unique. In a way the GBC version of DKC was probably made specifically for that reason. The Japanese had a GBC port probably because it was already the end of life of the original GB (like with Wario Land 2 in some way).

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

Hello, which graphics do you prefer between this and the GBC version of DKC? I still prefer Country

[@StreetMozart]

I agree with you, the Donkey Kong Country GBC is better.

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

@@StreetMozart Yes, that one was impressive and probably as close as it can get to the SNES version

[@vittosphonecollection57289]

@Myötätuuli etelään Well I was only talking about the graphics, I don't know Land enough to judge which game is better.

[@fireboltthunder2360]

@@StreetMozart The Gbc version has an extra level that Snes and Gba versions don't have called Necky's Nuts

[@QuickyGreen]

Land has better graphics. Also, it atleast doesn't try to shove as much minecart levels as the Game Boy Color port of Donkey Kong Country.
