Fun fact! That boss music in Donkey Kong Land is the very same music as one of the levels in Blast Corps on Nintendo 64! It’s that country Wayne Duncan theme!
I still can't believe they managed to pull this off on the first GB console, even if it was without any color. Before playing it I thought it would be a lot simpler and boring, but I enjoyed it as much as the other DKC titles.
This looks really good. One of the problems with the original is sometimes the background is too busy and the colours here make it much easier to see and separate the foreground and the background. The thing that amazes me is the Kritters: The standard walking ones green and the jumping ones blue like it's bigger Country counterpart. That's amazing effort. This is a good colour hack. EDIT: One thing I also like to praise too, is the cut music being restore and level names that where only found in the manual iirc. Now if only we have a fan game of this with Snes graphics...
I played this game during my seventh grade year when I started playing football and was standing on the sidelines all the time since I didn’t know football and even the nerds were laughing at me. I would often be in my own world. One of the few kids who did tolerate me let me borrow this donkey Kong land game. I had so much fun playing this game and this was before I played Donkey Kong Country on the SNES. To me, some of the music in Donkey Kong Land is more catchy than the ones in Donkey Kong Country and that right there is what kept me playing! Also gotta love it when the bonus levels give you a glimpse of the later levels in the game!
This colorization process puts the official colorized version of donkeykong land 3 as well as the gbc version of donkeykong country into SHAME,why because both game’s colors are waaaaaay toooo overbrighted,why couldn’t they just used much warmer and more realistic colors instead??? as it could,ve make those versions like a bit closer to it’s 16bits brothers, This version just pretty much looks perfect because those colors are NOT too overbrighted thus making everything look more real.😁
@@TJZOfficial That's Donkey Kong Land 3. I know it's confusing but for some reason DK Land 2 and 3 are closer to their home console counterparts while the first was more unique. In a way the GBC version of DKC was probably made specifically for that reason. The Japanese had a GBC port probably because it was already the end of life of the original GB (like with Wario Land 2 in some way).
