While not as gimmicky or varied and more rompy compared to the DKC3 on SNES, this is still a very fun platformer for the Game Boy. It still inherits an issue of occasional screen crunch from the previous Land entries, but the level design is solid for the most part. The bosses are a mixed bag, for example Bleak The Snowman's attacks can be easily dodged by running against right side of the screen and occasionally jumping, and K. Rool fights are pretty tough, screen crunch doesn't particularly help. Still though, this is a good game, and one of the better platformers for the original Game Boy.
