Donkey Kong Land is a video game developed by Rareware and published by Nintendo for the Game Boy. This game was first released in June, 1995. It is a completely original follow-up to the original Donkey Kong Country. The game was later followed by Donkey Kong Land 2 and Donkey Kong Land III which are both for the Game Boy along with Donkey Kong Land itself. However, Donkey Kong Land III had a Game Boy Color remake. Most of the game's music and sound effects were reused in the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country and its sequels.

There are several gameplay mechanics that were changed to better suit the Game Boy. Only one Kong was displayed at one time, while the second one teleports out when the other gets hit by an enemy or by pressing the SELECT button. There are four worlds in Donkey Kong Land, all newer than DK Country's, but including some of the same level archetypes as seen in Donkey Kong Country. They all took place on and off the coast of Donkey Kong Island.
