→Gameplay: I dunno, placing "system" in front of Game Boy just makes it sound smarter. I like my peanut butter and jelly technology!

''Donkey Kong Land'' is a 2-D platformer, designed for the Game Boy | ''Donkey Kong Land'' is a 2-D platformer, designed for the Game Boy. Because of the Game Boy's limitations, the game offers less than its 16-bit predecessor. On the level select screen, names of the stages are no longer present, and the levels themselves have very few [[Bonus Level]]s, usually only having one or two. Additionally, after the Kongs find all the Bonus Levels in an area, an exclamation point appears above the level's circular marker in the overworld. | ||
The game is divided into four worlds, each with seven normal levels, with the exception of the game's first world, [[Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!]], which contains a total of nine. A boss level also appears in each world and must be completed to progress. Though most levels are unlocked after beating its previous level, some levels can be accessed before later levels. This can be done by finding rare, barrel-shaped bombs inside some levels and blasting away large boulders. With these boulders destroyed, a passageway to a certain level can be found. Unlike in ''Donkey Kong Country'', the monkeys will be able to travel freely to any level without any assistance, as they can simply journey world-to-world on foot. | The game is divided into four worlds, each with seven normal levels, with the exception of the game's first world, [[Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!]], which contains a total of nine.
