None of the time trial cheevos are triggering for me in VBA.
TiringCoyote 19 May 2020 01:50
It seems transferring the save into retroarch makes them trigger. They all triggered at the same time LOL.
mousemuffins 20 Oct 2020 07:55
Race Against Time triggered for me in the Japan version, which was quite weird. I reset it for fairness' sake - I'll have to see if it triggers in USA ver.

Mastered! Awesome game
LETSPLAYmarkus 4 Jun 2022 14:08
Mastered! My 73th Award, the 35th Master for the Game. It is what it is, a downgraded version of DKC3. Thanks for the Set!
Blaqk91 8 Oct 2022 06:31
Hardcored!
js92 15 Mar 2023 23:18
Mastered! :)
LilacChicky 9 Jul 2023 03:05
Mastered! This game has given me trust issues due to spotty hit detection, banana arrows that often lie and some of the worst boss battles I have ever seen in a video game. It doesn't help that one of the characters is only useful for jumping on one type of enemy. Seriously. Kiddy Kong is useless. There is absolutely no reason to play this over DKC3 which isn't a great game either, but whatever.
BattousaiCenci 2 Oct 2023 12:02
Man, how good is this one. Even today, it's a lot of fun. The music doesn't stop playing to give the sounds of enemies or items and the gameplay is fluid, how rare is that in GB
BattousaiCenci 2 Oct 2023 19:39
The game has many sprites on the screen, large sprites, it is fluid and responsive, the soundtrack does not stop playing for the sound effects to come out, the level designer is very good, there are many secrets, but most of them have clues for you to take risks, I didn't find it difficult, it's been very enjoyable, just take it easy until you know the level. Answering my friend above, the bosses are good for the GB standard, especially the first 3. Kiddy Kong is faster, stronger and heavier, that is, even carrying a barrel he remains fast and throws further, runs faster, is faster on ropes and can take down enemies that Dixie cannot. The game is really good for GB. Comparing it to the Snes version is incredibly immaturity
BattousaiCenci 3 Oct 2023 00:34
hes jumper further too and apparently it is thrown further by barrels, in my gameplay I managed to reach places that Dixie couldn't go, but it could have been a bug. Anyway, he is much better in some levels

This game is a blast when you can actually play, but it feels like a stealth game after you get to the third world. Enemies are hard to see because of the lack of color, enemies appear suddenly, and the hit detection is less than stellar. DKC3 is one of my favorite games of all time, and this one is certainly fun too. I wish we could get a remaster of the Donkey Kong Land games, where we can enjoy the games, but without the technical limitations of the Gameboy.

I found it very enjoyable to play this game after coming from donkey kong country 3. More relaxing straight forward levels with less gimmicks.

The set was very enjoyable too until:
- Race Against Time: Here I think it would be much more enjoyable if it would not be required to collect every damn bonus coin / dk coin. Should be like the other speed run achievements in country were you just need to finnish with any %.

- Card Matching Wizard: Holy F*** I really wonder if I got to old and stupid or if this is really really that difficult. I feel like like this is the final super boss. Also its bad because you need to pray for some rng which unlocks you some cards right away to even remotely have a chance. I tried this one for ~4 hours and could get two times 32 and 31.

Consider also:
- Add the KONG letter achievements like in the country games which force you to find each letter in the levels. I found these ones quite tricky sometimes but enjoyable to really explorer all
sandro4912 17 Apr 2024 20:44
Ok I finnaly beat card matching wizard. Looks like its in the game to really beat these tight 30 seconds. felt a lot harder than the points for it ;)
ColinMakesYouMad 26 May 2024 12:25
Anyone know how to make a request for the Japanese version of the game on gbc? It should be its own set!
DarkBowser64 26 Jul 2024 21:22
I personally would really appreciate this set having support for the Japanese GBC version with the English patch since it has full color support. SGB support is OK-ish but things are so much easier to differentiate on the GBC version.
xmarkwx 14 Aug 2024 14:13
^Agree, it is the best version of this game and an English translation patch exists as well. Wonder how hard it would be to port over the achievements to the GBC version… Also there would need to be a new game page created for the Japanese GBC release.
ColinMakesYouMad 1 Nov 2024 15:21
I requested a gbc set! Ideally it's not the same set since it's an official different version of the game.
RetroBoy100 6 Apr 2025 10:05
Mastered all three land games!
I wouldnt want to play this game again. Why: I never played the land games before. I had a lot of fun to master DKL 1, new levels, partly new music and it had the perfect playing length. DKL 2 and 3 are only same games, like on the SNES. Changed levels, but unfortunately nothing new at all. I just find it very boring and on top of that RARE hasnt made any effort at all. The DKC SNES versions are the best there are. In my opinion it could have been better on the Game Boy, with more ideas and creativity. Of course, it might just be because i have never played the land games before and thats why i dont find them that special ;)

The set was good, it was the hardest of all. This card game, i was lucky on my third or fourth attempt. Doing it in 30 seconds isnt that easy.
The speedrun of 1 hour and 25 minutes: I used YouTube for that, because otherwise i wouldnt have known how to find all the DK coins and bonus coins in such a short time.
Everything else i found easy to master.
Thanks for the set! ♥
