Donkey Kong Land 2 is a video game developed by Rareware and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. Released in September 1996, it is a sequel to Donkey Kong Land, a predecessor to Donkey Kong Land III, and the handheld follow-up of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. Like its predecessor, the game features a yellow cartridge and Super Game Boy special features, giving the game a special banana border when played on a Super Game Boy.
This game is often mistaken as a handheld port of Donkey Kong Country 2, however, this is untrue. Although the two games run on the same engine and have the same areas, the layouts on each of the levels are new. Another difference is that two worlds, Krem Quay and Crocodile Cauldron, are merged into one world: Krem Cauldron. Kleever is the boss of this area, while Kudgel doesn't appear at all in the game. However, the game doesn't differ from its Super Nintendo counterpart as much as its predecessor, Donkey Kong Land, does.
Storyline
Similar to the storyline in Donkey Kong Country 2, Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew kidnaps Donkey Kong. In exchange for Donkey Kong's safe return, the Kremlings demand the Banana Hoard. However, the Kongs decline this offer, not wanting to give away the hoard, and Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong head out to find the big ape on Crocodile Isle.
Template:Spoiler Avoiding restless bands of enemies, the two heroes travel through several worlds, including the Gangplank Galleon, Krem Cauldron, Krazy Kremland, Gloomy Gulch, and K. Rool's Keep. They fight bosses, such as King Zing, on the way, going through amusement parks and Zinger hives. Eventually, the apes make their way to the top of Crocodile Isle, where they find Donkey Kong tied up in ropes. Before they can rescue him, he is lifted into The Flying Krock. Chasing him into the helicopter, the apes meet the leader of the Kremling Krew, Kaptain K. Rool, and the characters battle. Eventually, Diddy and Dixie knock out the Kremling leader, and Donkey Kong frees himself from his chains. Before Kaptain K. Rool can attack again, the big ape knocks him off the island, sending him into the ocean.
However, even after Donkey Kong is freed, the apes' adventure isn't over. After paying a hefty fine of Kremkoins to Klubba, the way into the Lost World is opened. After completing the world, the mouth of the stone crocodile head opens. Inside, the monkeys meet Kaptain K. Rool again, and the two sides fight a second time. Even with his wide variety of attacks, the Kremling is, again, defeated. Afterwards, the heroes flee from Crocodile Isle, where they, along with Donkey Kong, watch as the Kremling island sinks into the ocean. Template:Endspoiler

Enemies
This article is under construction. Therefore, please excuse its informal appearance while it is being worked on. We hope to have it completed as soon as possible.
Normal Enemies
- Click-Clack: These enemies appear as a small, blue insects. The Kongs are required to jump on them twice to defeat them. When they jump on them once, the Click-Clacks flip over. The apes can pick them up and throw them at other enemies in this state. However, they flip back over if left alone for a while.
- Flitter: These foes are long, blue, dragonfly-like enemies who often appear flying over large pits. They are usually located in areas like this because, when jumped on, the apes bounce in the air and are able to head over to other Flitters in mid-air. The apes only have to jump on them once to defeat them.
- Flotsam: Flotsams are basic underwater enemies. Like Bitesizes and Kocos from the other Donkey Kong Land games, they simply swim around underwater, trying to hit the heroes. Only Enguarde's sharp nose can defeat them.
- Kaboing: These Kremlings are usually seen jumping around certain areas in levels. Because of their constant jumping, they can easily jump on any Kongs that aren't careful. The heroes have to jump on them to defeat them.
- Kannon: These large, cannon wielding enemies shoot kannonballs and barrels at the Kongs to attack. They are rather uncommon and can easily be defeated if the heroes jump on their heads or cartwheel into them.
- Klampon: Similar to the Klaptrap and Krimp enemies of the first and third Donkey Kong Land games, these large foes move across small areas, trying to bite the Kongs. They can easily be defeated with a jump, but cartwheeling cannot always defeat them, as attacking from the front can allow them to bite the Kongs.
- Klinger: Klingers are always seen climbing on either ropes or chains. After they reach their highest point on the ropes, they slide down in order to hit the primates. They can be defeated by barrels, and the monkeys can also run into their sides to push them off of ropes.
- Klobber: These common Kremlings hide in barrels throughout many levels. When the apes approach their barrels, they jump out, attempting to push the heroes into a gap. Jumping on them can push them back into their barrels, which can be used to attack some enemies. If the barrel they are in breaks, they are defeated.
- Klomp: Klomps are the basic ground enemies in their game. Being the normal types of Kremling soldiers, they appear in many levels, where they simply walk back and fourth. Both jump on them and cartwheeling into them can beat them.
- Krook: These enemies appear as Kremlings wearing large coats. They have hooks, which they throw at the Kongs when they pass by. If they miss them, however, the hook acts as a boomerang and heads back to the Krook. Krooks can be defeated if the apes jump on them or cartwheel into them.
