'''''Donkey Kong Land III''''' (also formatted as '''''Donkey Kong Land 3'''''<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/19980704233323/http://www.rare.co.uk:80/retro/backcat/gamepages/dkl3.html ''Donkey Kong Land 3'' on Rareware's official website (Wayback Machine)]</ref>) is a video game for the [[Game Boy]] developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]] in 1997. It is loosely based on the [[Super Nintendo]] game, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', as it features the same characters, enemies, and level environments. It also stars [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]. ''Donkey Kong Land III'' is the third and final entry of the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'']] series. Like its two predecessors, ''Donkey Kong Land III'' is housed on a yellow cartridge and it has specific [[Super Game Boy]] enhancements, including a unique border of pocket watches.

The original Game Boy version was never released in Japan, which instead received a [[Game Boy Color]] port in 2000, titled, '''''Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong''''' (ドンキーコングGB ディンキーコング&ディクシーコング). It is not dual compatibile with original Game Boy units, as evident from the transparent cartridge it is contained in. The Game Boy Color port was never released outside of Japan.

==Story==
==Story==
Announcements of a contest to find the fabled [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Land III)|Lost World]], which was said to have dominated legends for centuries, attracted "would-be" explorers all over the world to seize the long awaited chance of fame and fortune. [[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], and [[King K. Rool|Baron K. Roolenstein]] all hear of the contest, and the Kongs set out leaving [[Dixie Kong]] with her cousin, [[Kiddy Kong]]. Dixie wants to prove herself just as worthy as the other participants, so she decides to participate in the contest and takes Kiddy along with her. Kiddy is not that aware about what is going on and decides to follow Dixie into the jungle.

Dixie wants to prove herself just as worthy as the other participants, so she decides to participate in the contest and takes Kiddy along with her. Kiddy is not that aware about what is going on and decides to follow Dixie into the jungle.


After traveling through the worlds, Dixie and Kiddy are confronted by Baron K. Roolenstein at the end of [[Tin Can Valley]]. To access the Lost World, Dixie and Kiddy must collect every [[DK Coin]] and [[Stop Watch|Watch]]. Within the Lost World itself, the Kongs must collect all the DK Coins and the final Stop Watch to engage in the final boss battle against Baron K. Roolenstein. When the Kongs defeat him, they are crowned as the victors of the contest. Baron K. Roolenstein then concedes the remaining six Stop Watches and allows the Kongs to try out the [[#Time Attack mode|Time Attack]] mode.

==Gameplay==
==Gameplay==
''Donkey Kong Land III'' plays very similarly to ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. The player controls two different characters, Dixie and Kiddy, and only one [[Kong]] appears on-screen at a time. Dixie and Kiddy retain most of their abilities from ''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!'' Dixie can use her [[Helicopter Spin]] to whirl her ponytail on the ground or glide in midair. Kiddy is heavier and stronger and can defeat strong enemies such as [[Krumple]]s by jumping on them, whereas Dixie cannot. In each world, the Kongs must complete the levels in order until reaching the world boss, whom the Kongs must defeat to unlock the next world.

In each world, the Kongs must complete the levels in order until reaching the world boss, whom the Kongs must defeat to unlock the next world.


As the Kongs explore a level, they must avoid enemies along the way and collect items such as [[banana]]s and [[Bear Coin]]s along the way. Every [[Bonus Level]] is accessed from a [[Bonus Barrel]], and the reward for completing a Bonus Level's objective is a [[Bonus Coin]]. Some levels have an [[Animal Barrel]], which transform the Kongs into the pictured [[Animal Friend]], whose abilities are often required to complete a level or to reach hidden areas. Each Animal Friend has their own set of abilities.

Each Animal Friend has their own set of abilities.


Each world has a [[Wrinkly Refuge]], where [[Wrinkly Kong]] saves the player's progress, and a [[Sheepy Shop]], which is run by [[Bear (character)|Bear]], the only [[Brothers Bear]] of the game. If Dixie and Kiddy have enough Bonus Coins, Bear allows them to play a memorization minigame, [[Memory]] if they have at least a number of Bonus Coins. The Kongs are rewarded a [[Stop Watch]] for the first time they complete a challenge in a world. In most levels there is a [[Koin]] guarding the [[DK Coin]], except for underwater levels, where the DK Coin appears by itself like in ''Donkey Kong Land 2''. The Kongs are required to obtain every DK Coin and Stop Watch to access the final World, the Lost World.

Time Attack lists twelve levels on a wooden dashboard. Each of these levels do not appear under their usual name but rather named after their theme, such as "Cave" or "Machine". The objective of Time Attack is for [[Dixie Kong]] or [[Kiddy Kong]] to complete a level within a time limit. Once this is done in every level, the player completes the game entirely, with a 103% ranking.

In both v1.1 and the Japanese version, a pit was added at the very end of [[Tundra Blunda]]. This was likely done to fix a minor bug that prevents the Steel Barrel from getting stuck if Kiddy goes to the very end and throws it.

Like its prequel, ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', ''Donkey Kong Land III'' has cheat codes that the player can input from the title screen by entering a certain button combination. When the player enters a cheat, a sound effect. The game uses the D-Pad for its button combination unlike ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', which uses the {{button|GB|A}} and {{button|GB|B}} buttons. Both versions of ''Donkey Kong Land III'' feature the same cheat codes:

*Pressing {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padright}} grants Dixie and Kiddy fifty [[extra life|extra lives]].
*Pressing Up, Down, Up, Left, Right grants Dixie and Kiddy fifty [[extra life|extra lives]].

*Pressing {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Padright}} unlocks every area, except for the Lost World initially.

*Pressing either {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}}, or {{button|GB|Select}} changes the level shown in the title screen's gameplay demo (which plays after the title screen's music ends). The Kongs eventually die in every gameplay demo, except for the default [[Jetty Jitters]] demo in the original Game Boy version. The demo changes based on the number of times that the player presses the buttons:

There’s less to do outside the stages and they aren’t quite as creative as you’d expect from the series. That’s not to say it is bad, as it does what it provides extremely well, rather that it falls short of expectation. There’s still fun to be had, and it’s definitely worth playing if you’re a fan of the series.'"

The graphics were more annoying than DKL2, enough to impede gameplay, but in the end I still had fun with the game. It provides a few hours of enjoyable gameplay, and again it’s a nice trip down memory lane.'"

*Despite his name being featured in the title, [[Donkey Kong]] does not appear in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. However, he is mentioned in the manual's story. Aside from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'', this game is the only title of the ''Donkey Kong'' series that he does not appear in.

Aside from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its DS remake]], this game is the only title of the ''Donkey Kong'' series that he does not appear in.
*The game's soundtrack consists of 8-bit re-orchestrations of the music from ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. However, the tracks "Frosty Frolics" and "Pokey Pipes" do not appear; the snow and pipe levels use "Cascade Capers" and "Cavern Caprice" instead, respectively. In addition, "Rocket Run" is programmed into the game—however, it is unused and can only be accessed by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ac8Ru3u91w ROM hacking].
