A solid and short game for DK's first Game Boy platformer (unless you count Donkey Kong '94). Jumping takes a while to get used to especially when bouncing off of enemies. And the save system is not good in my opinion. Don't like that you have to collect all KONG letters in a level in order to save. You can back track to previous levels to save, but it does get tiring. Good thing the sequels never kept this save feature. Despite those problems I did enjoy this game and I feel like it's best played on the Super Game Boy.
