Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong (2000). Play online

Summary

Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong is the Game Boy Color adaptation of Donkey Kong Land III, rolled out only in Japan in 2000. It carries the SNES roots of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong’s Double Trouble! but trims a few animations and dialogue scenes.

I guide Dixie Kong and Kiddy Kong across 36 sprawling, color‑rich levels, hunting the fabled Lost World before treasure hunters beat them to it. A roster of animal allies—Squitter the spider, Squawks the parrot, Ellie the elephant, Enguarde the swordfish and the aptly named Parry the parallel‑bird—lend quirky abilities that keep the adventure fresh.

The title resurfaced on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2014, and later joined Japan’s Nintendo Classics service in December 2024, giving newer portable fans a chance to relive the colorful quest.

Storyline

Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong kicks off with a high‑stakes contest promising huge prizes to whoever uncovers the Lost World. While Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have already set out on the hunt, their departure leaves a frustrated Dixie Kong determined to prove she’s just as capable. She teams up with her toddler cousin Kiddy Kong, and together they trek through jungles, caves and ancient ruins in search of the fabled land.

Meanwhile, the villainous Baron K. Roolenstein and his Kremling Krew are also scouring the globe, hoping to claim the Lost World for themselves. The race creates a frantic showdown as allies and enemies clash over the ultimate treasure.
