'''''Donkey Kong Land 2''''' is a [[Genre#Platform games|platform game]] developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rareware]] and published by [[Nintendo]] for the [[Game Boy]] in 1996. It is a sequel to ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' and a predecessor to ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''. Like its predecessor, the game features a yellow cartridge and special features for the [[Super Game Boy]]. The game has a special banana border when played on a Super Game Boy. 

''Donkey Kong Land 2'' is very similar to its counterpart [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|SNES]] title, ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. While it has the same storyline, areas, and setting, each [[level]] received a new layout. The game also stars [[Diddy Kong]] and [[Dixie Kong]].

The game was eventually rereleased on the [[Nintendo 3DS]]'s [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] in Europe in April 2014, in Japan and Australia in October 2014, and later in February 2015 for North America.
==Story==
[[File:DKL2 Crocodile Isle.png|200px|left|thumb|The Kongs at the first world, Gangplank Galleon, from the Crocodile Isle map]]
The story is essentially a retelling of the events in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''<ref>''Donkey Kong Land 2'' instruction booklet, [[Media:DKL2 Story manual.png|page 2–3]]</ref> and is the only ''Donkey Kong Land'' game with the same story as its ''Donkey Kong Country'' counterpart. [[Kaptain K. Rool]] and the [[Kremling Krew]] kidnap [[Donkey Kong]] and in exchange for Donkey Kong's safe return, the Kremlings demand the [[banana hoard]]. Diddy and Dixie decline and head on a journey on [[Crocodile Isle]] to rescue Donkey Kong.

Diddy and Dixie travel through several worlds, including the [[Gangplank Galleon]], [[Krem Cauldron]], [[Krazy Kremland]], [[Gloomy Gulch]], and [[K. Rool's Keep]]. The [[Kong]]s eventually reach [[Stronghold Showdown]] at the peak of Crocodile Isle, where they find Donkey Kong tied up in ropes. Before they can rescue him, he is lifted into [[The Flying Krock]]. There, the Kongs encounter Kaptain K. Rool. They engage in battle, and the Kongs eventually defeat the Kremling leader, and Donkey Kong frees himself from his chains. Before Kaptain K. Rool can attack again, Donkey Kong knocks him out of his ship, sending him into the ocean. 

Even after freeing Donkey Kong, both Diddy and Dixie must pay 47 [[Kremkoin]]s to [[Klubba]] to enter the [[Lost World (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Lost World]]. After completing the world, the mouth of the stone crocodile head opens. Diddy and Dixie go inside and battle Kaptain K. Rool again. The Kongs eventually defeat Kaptain K. Rool another time and then flee from Crocodile Isle. From a distance, Diddy, Dixie, and Donkey Kong watch as Crocodile Isle sinks into the ocean.

==Gameplay==
[[File:Pirate Panic DKL2.png|thumb|160px|Dixie runs to a Neek]]
Diddy and Dixie are the two playable characters, and the player can only control one Kong on screen at a time. Both Kongs share some basic abilities such running, jumping, and swimming, and they are both able to climb [[rope]]s and hang from hooks. Diddy is able to perform a [[Cartwheel Attack|cartwheel]] and is faster than Dixie, although he has trouble traveling across large abysses. The main difference with Dixie is her [[Helicopter Spin]], which allows her to whip enemies and slowly fall or glide in midair. Diddy holds a [[barrel]] in front whereas Dixie holds it above herself with her ponytail. If both Kongs are in play, and either Diddy or Dixie is hit by an enemy or hazard, the game automatically switches to the other Kong. If either Kong is missing their partner and gets hit by an enemy or hazard, they lose a life.

The game progression works the same as in other ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. Each world has some levels (usually five or six) which the Kongs must complete in order until they reach a world boss at the end. After defeating the world boss, Diddy and Dixie can access the next world. Every world has a [[Kong Kollege]], where [[Wrinkly Kong]] can save the player's progress, and a [[Funky's Flights II|Funky's Flights]], where [[Funky Kong]] leases his [[Biplane Barrel]] for the Kongs to travel into another world.

There are either one or two [[Bonus Barrel]]s in every level and one of [[DK Coin|Cranky's Video Game Hero Coin]]s. Each Bonus Barrel leads to a [[Bonus Level]], where the Kongs must complete an objective to obtain a [[Kremkoin]]. Some Bonus Levels can be accessed if the Kongs carry a [[Cannonball|kannonball]] into a [[Cannon|kannon]]. Once the Kongs have collected every Kremkoin, they can access the Lost World. Video Game Hero Coins help improve Diddy's rank in [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes|Video Game Heroes]]. Kremkoins and Video Game Hero Coins are both necessary for 100% [[completion]] of the game.

Some levels have an [[Animal Barrel]], which transform the Kongs into the pictured [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]]. Some Animal Barrels are required to enter while others are hidden from the main path and are optional to enter. As an Animal Friend, the Kongs can often defeat enemies more easily or reach hidden areas and items. In some levels, an Animal Friend is required to use its ability to progress, such as [[Squawks the Parrot|Squawks]], who can fly up vertical paths. When an Animal Friend crosses a [[No Animal Sign]], it turns back into the Kongs and an item is rewarded.

==Levels==
''Donkey Kong Land 2'' features most of the same worlds from ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' except [[Krem Cauldron]], which is a fusion of [[Crocodile Cauldron]] and [[Krem Quay]]. Most of the levels have the same name but their layouts are different. Two levels from ''Donkey Kong Country 2'' were replaced with a loosely related counterpart: [[Haunted Hall]] with [[Krazy Koaster]], and [[Castle Crush]] with [[Dungeon Danger]]. There are 39 levels and 7 boss levels in the game.

==Version differences==
===Regional differences===
The Japanese version of the game has various changes from the English version:
*The title was changed to ''Donkey Kong Land: Diddy's Kong Quest''. This is not to be confused with the English ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'', which was also renamed in Japanese (to ''Super Donkey Kong GB'').
*As with ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', various enemies have different names in Japanese:
**[[Krow]] was renamed to Zocky.
**[[Click-Clack]] was renamed to Beetle.
**[[King Zing]] was renamed to King B.
*While [[Krazy Koaster]] and [[Dungeon Danger]] were given new names in both languages (compared to ''Donkey Kong Country 2''{{'}}s [[Haunted Hall]] and [[Castle Crush]]), a few more levels were given new names in the Japanese version of ''Donkey Kong Land 2'' compared to ''Donkey Kong Country 2'': [[Krockhead Klamber (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Krockhead Klamber]], [[Screech's Sprint (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Screech's Sprint]], [[Klobber Karnage (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Klobber Karnage]], and [[Animal Antics (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Animal Antics]].
*Various levels underwent minor layout changes:
**In [[Bramble Blast (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Bramble Blast]], the Zinger before the Star Barrel was removed in the Japanese version.
**In [[Parrot Chute Panic (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Parrot Chute Panic]], in a section shortly after the Star Barrel, two Zingers in close proximity to a DK Barrel were removed in the Japanese version. This ends up fixing a sprite overload issue where the DK Barrel wouldn't appear in the English version if too many Zingers appeared on-screen at once.
**In [[Kreepy Krow (Donkey Kong Land 2 level)|Kreepy Krow]], the rope climbing section was shortened slightly, making this part a bit easier. A hook was moved upwards to compensate.
*In the English version, a glitch involving the bonus stage counter (for stars or enemies) would occur if the player would lose a bonus stage with stars or enemies remaining, and then defeat enemies or collect bananas afterwards; this would cause the Kremkoin chime to be heard once the counter reaches zero. The Japanese version fixes this by resetting the counter to zero when the player would lose a bonus stage. Oddly, this bug fix did not carry over to ''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]'', causing the bug to occur in all versions of that game (although only when defeating enemies).
*[[#Cheat codes|Cheat codes]] do not work in the Japanese version of the game.

===3DS Virtual Console differences===
*In the levels [[Lava Lagoon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Lava Lagoon]], [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]], and [[Clapper's Cavern (Donkey Kong Land 2)|Clapper's Cavern]], any occurrence of the screen flashing (e.g. when the lava would begin to heat up in Lava Lagoon) was slowed down to half its rate on the 3DS, compared to the Game Boy.

==Cheat codes==
The game has three cheat codes the player can input from the title screen. The cheats do not work in the Japanese version. While on the title screen, the player must hold either left or right button on the D-Pad and enter a specific combination of buttons. Once they enter a cheat code, an extra life sound effect plays.
*50 lives: {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|B}}
*40 Banana Coins: {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|A}}
*47 [[Kremkoin]]s: {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|B}} (to get 100% completion, the standard Kremkoins must be collected)

==Nintendo eShop description==
<blockquote>''K. Rool has kidnapped Donkey Kong, and he's demanding the entire banana hoard as ransom! It's up to Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong to rescue their kidnapped pal. Play as either Kong and take advantage of their unique abilities. Diddy Kong's Cartwheel can take out the bulkiest of baddies, while Dixie Kong's Helicopter Spin will let you hover over some tricky spots. There's also a wild assortment of friendly animals ready to help out the two little Kongs. There are over 40 levels to complete—each filled with special traps, collectibles, dastardly Kremlings, and a boatload of barrels to blast out of!</blockquote>

|7/10
|align="left"|"''With more levels to play through and extra items to collect Donkey Kong Land 2 is certainly a bigger game than its predecessor, however it's not quite as impressive due to being a bit too similar to Diddy's SNES outing. Luckily the varied bunch of levels and enemies ensure that the game is still fun to play through. There's some cracking music, too, and with the amount of content Rare managed to cram into the game there's enough here to keep players occupied for some time.''"
