Donkey Kong Land III

Donkey Kong Land III (or Donkey Kong Land 3) is a video game for the Game Boy and Game Boy Color released in the years 1997 and 2000. This game is apparently based on the game, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble! for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. The Game Boy version of DKL3 wasn't released in Japan, but was eventually released for the Game Boy Color under the name, Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong and Dixie Kong.

Story
This story takes place in a competition to see who will find the mysterious Lost World which is mentioned to have legends. They also announced that whoever will find it first will have a chance of fame and fortune. The competitors were Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong who had left Dixie and Kiddy Kong behind. Dixie and Kiddy decided to show the competitors that they were as good as Donkey Kong and his nephew, Diddy.
