Donkey Kong Land III is a platformer released in 1997 for the Game Boy. Players control Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong as they venture through various levels filled with enemies, obstacles, and collectibles. The main objective is to navigate these stages to rescue Donkey Kong from the antagonist, King K. Rool.
The game's pace is steady, with a focus on precise jumping and timing. Unique mechanics include the ability to switch between the two characters, each offering different abilities—Dixie can hover using her ponytail, while Kiddy can perform strong ground pounds. This character-switching adds a layer of strategy when approaching different challenges.
Distinctive for its portable format, Donkey Kong Land III adapts the classic Donkey Kong Country experience to the Game Boy, incorporating detailed sprite work and varied environments despite hardware limitations. The inclusion of animal companions and hidden bonus stages also contributes to its varied gameplay.
