Produced by Rareware and published by Nintendo, it was enchanced for the Super Game Boy with different shades of color as well as a 16-bit banana border on the edges of the television screen. Like the original, it came packaged in a "banana yellow" cartridge. DKL2 was both a semi-port and a follow-up to the Super Nintendo smash hit, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. It starred Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong as they set off to rescue Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew. While it featured the same level names as DKC2 (except for Castle Crush, changed to Dungeon Danger; and Haunted Hall, changed to Krazy Koaster), the level layouts were brand new, as well as some of the maps. Many fans consider DKL2 to be an actual sequel in Donkey Kong continuity, because of insinuations that Crocodile Isle was risen from its watery grave at the end of DKC2 (things that support this include the fact that the blue energy life source in the Lost World no longer flows, as it burned out in DKC2, and the fact that Crocodile Cauldron and Krem Quay were combined into Krem Cauldron). Funky Kong and Wrinkly Kong both made their Game Boy debuts in this game. All of the animal buddies from DKC2 returned, save for Glimmer the angler fish. Trivia - Sometime you'll see DKL2 listed with a subtitle as Donkey Kong Land 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. This was removed shortly before the game was released. While no reason has been given, it's likely that they wanted to avoid making people think this was an exact port of DKC2, which had the same subtitle.
