Game Boy Longplay [007] Donkey Kong Land

[Ninni973]

I literally ate a bowl of popcorn and drank juice while watching this yesterday.

[EpicBacon]

This game brings me nostalgia, and I'm only 16.

[Aue182]

1:19:42 --> just for the word congratulations?! WTF?!

[LOrdurier]

Good game, but I remember as a kid when I beat it... Shittiest ending ever.

[DocZombiePhD]

Man, Rare really did some crazy stuff with that GameBoy.

[DRisLegend200919]

one of the best game boy games

[mrhuggable1986]

loved sat playing this, much better on the snes though :)

[GameAtHeart]

@mrhuggable1986 It's not the same game. Donkey Kong Land has new levels so DKC can't be better on SNES if it's a whole different game than this one.

But you can say it's better than the GBC & GBA Version of DKC since many implies that comparing to an SNES game (Console to Handheld).

[10forRP]

Wow, this actually looks pretty impressive for a gameboy game. Never played it though... My two favs were Wario Land and Bases Loaded

[Xieliant]

I bought this game back in '03 and I finally passed it yesterday. That one cloud level was a bitch lol.

[oversoulito]

MY VERY FIRST GAME FUCK YEAH!!!!

[MrAlienAssassin]

King K. Rool disliked.

[RockstarGamerXtreme]

I dont' remember this game too well, but I'm pretty sure this was one of my first plaformer games as a kid. I had a hard time with this game and wasn't too into it, but seeing this makes me wanna go get the game again and see if I got what it takes to beat it ;)

[deoxyribose]

I got this game back when I was 8 and it took me 3 years to beat because of those retarded cloud levels.

Your boy did some spot on game playing there, very satisfying walk through.

[OmegaWeaponFFVIII]

k. rool looks tricky as hell got damn lol

[DrMisanthrope]

This game looked great on the gameboy. Loads of good memories

[sraufstok]

This was my first ever game:D it rocks!:D

[GamerNinjaX]

@WildWaddledee *FACEPALM* unless your joking. what a LONG play is, it is a playthrough of the entire game in one video. That is why the video is tremendously long.

[GamerNinjaX]

@WildWaddledee ........LONGplay LLLLOOOOOONNNNGGGG play. get the word LOOONNGGG in the sentance.

[Marigio300]

@WildWaddledee i would.



[Jarrnou]

@WildWaddledee why would you complain a video being too long :D YOU BIG DUMMY

[Jarrnou]

@WildWaddledee dumbfuck :D

[wiidollar]

I hope this game will be in the 3DS E shop.

[NOEXEoriginal]

I used to have this, I beat the whole thing. Loved it too.

[PacosTacos61]

Is this just an older version of DK country?

[F41LSH0T]

@PacosTacos61

No. This is on the Gameboy. That's why it looks so old.

[llJAFYll]

those city levels were weird. maybe becuase i played the snes versions first

[gangster2008]

wow this is so old. i had this when i waz lil gud times

[SashaNein]

Played this game for years. Loved it. Sadly I don't have it anymore, but I am currently trying to beat Donkey Kong Land 2.

[aragorn100000]

graphics for gameboy are really good. And i think it's nice nintendo didn't just copy the same donkey kong country on game boy, but made it different. Also that they released THREE donkey kong land. Gbc didn't have the same royal treatment.

[TheLPSandwich]

This proves you can't use 16-Bit on a 8-Bit system

[HeardCallum]

I have ths game and its fun :3

[blackm4niac]

War mein erstes, eigenes Videospiel. Hab damals einen Gameboy mit Donkey Kong Land bekommen. Leider ist beides nicht mehr in meinem Besitz :(

[Sephirothxxxxxxxxxxx]

I wonder if it was difficult for them to render this 3d-ish stuff.

[lemmedasker]

Wow. Nostalgia...I want to be a kid again!

[xxSilvershooterxx]

old memorys

[polkafrenzy666]

God I hated those cloud levels.

[xxSilvershooterxx]

@polkafrenzy666 Me too !

[BenjaminTapia1]

THE MUSIC!!!! wow!!!! :D!!!!!!

[npahomsky]

NOSTALGIA BONER!!!! I played this game a shit load on my gameboy color! Although I could never beat the second boss to the third world.

[thybuilder]

I hated those levels on the mountains, especially hte ones with the pigs flying.

[realSamsUniverse]

And this is how cranky played DK Back then...

[giakspad]

Miss that period... amazing

[MaxxTheSlash]

@WildWaddledee

It's supposed to be long. In Longplays, you're supposed to see the entire game from start to finish, including any cutscenes (and in many cases, all endings too). You can find shorter versions of this on YouTube cut into smaller clips, but if you clicked the link to this video and expect a short playthrough, you're in the wrong place. Make sure you actually want to see a Longplay before you click the link leading to one.

[FRIENDLYMEXICANBOY]

I forgot how great the soundtrack was on this game, like most nintendo gameboy games

[MrNoisee]

i so much loved this game, even now i have all my GB and GBC games in safe place, where i can look at them, and im waiting until nintendo will realize we want to play those games again, but we don't want to buy them in digital crap form...

[0takuMetalheadGamer]

I love this game, and i still have an cartridge in the famous banana-yellow colour :D

[ElfOfJapan]

I never knew there was a Donkey Kong Land. Cool!

[Sleepingcobrox]

Holy shot I could I've never beaten that game

[ReimuHakureiShrine]

Heavy Weapons Guy Song

[PuksisKissa]

This review should have been Goldeneye 007 for the n64.

[cubex55]

@WildWaddledee

What part of "longplay" did you not understand?

[TeamFaustGamesDE]

@cubex55 Welche Hast Du Deine Sprache

[projec64]

The title screen: D.K. looks like he is constipated. The game: Pretty good, actually :)

[AustralianForGirl]

I used to play this game ALL the time. Wow. I love the underwater levels! And the aztec looking levels too. So great.

[oldschool345]

ich liebe diese 3d vertiefung

[Bitta32]

omg you did this at once? o_O

[evenmorebetter]

Sure, it looks like an incomprehensible mess in 4-color monochrome, but throw this on a Game Boy Color/Advance/Player/etc. with the autocoloration to have green backgrounds and appropriately brown DK/Diddy (I think enemies are blue?), and it plays like a dream. It's been a while, but I remember liking colorized DKL even more than SNES DKC1. It's probably the NES-style soundtrack that does it.

[kaiserwilhelm]

@evenmorebetter I think I got to the end boss with a gameboy pocket. I think I remember it hurting my eyes, though.

[Squawks1]

I like this game a lot, but it would have been better if some of the controls weren't slick.

[soridosuneku]

Man, this game's soundtrack is rockin', even at that quality!

Too bad my GB Color is fried..

[EastmanFilm]

I miss this game...

[a1465]

Always remember this games distinct yellow cartridge haha

[0takuMetalheadGamer]

@a1465 I can watch the yellow cardridge whenever i want, i have an original copy :D

[LeValley007]

ah, i have Donkey Kong Country for the GameBoy Color. it was pretty beasty.

[Darkgasher]

I forgot how awesome this game's music was until I saw this...Man, I haven;t played this for years. Awesome

[Skithien]

I played this game way before I ever played Donkey Kong Country and i gotta say this game was more enjoyable for me. Now i think it's just the nostalgic factor but I'm definitely excited to be getting Donkey Kong Country Returns soon, anytime I play a Donkey Kong game I think of days spent playing this one. Thank you Nintendo!

[CainmosniMirrored]

I never played Donkey Kong Country when I was a kid. We had a SNES but never got that game. But, I did used to play Donkey Kong Land on my Gameboy and Gameboy Color. I sucked at this game when I was 8 and I still suck at 26. Ahh..the memories...lol!!!

[yoshibones]

0:34:38

The spikey fish thing gave me trouble when I was playing the game during 2. hr delay for school. I was like "HOLY CRAP HOLY CRAP GET AWAY FROM ME I JUST WANNA FINISH THE LEVEL"

Thankfully I got all the letters so I could save before I had to go. Why did I play this game that's really old? Because I've never played a DKC game except for this game when I was little, and, since DKCR is coming out I got VC DKC 1 and I started to try and beat this old game boy game :D

[CastawayRY]

black and white on the gameboy screen would make me go blind

[AlvinYTP]

It seems a little random that they used a song from Blast Corps for the boss battle theme.

Oh yeah. The ending sucks.....

[HTPtheFirst]

@AlvinYTP A decent ending would be a waste of space. There's already so much stuff on that single Game Boy cartridge.

[AlvinYTP]

@HTPtheFirst

Oh yeah, I'm not denying the fact there was a lot of content and the graphics were pretty decent for a game boy game. But I was 11 years old when I first played this and it took me a while to complete it the first time through. I would have liked a satisfying conclusion for all the hard work I put into it.

[MrStayler01]

wie macht ihr das, dass ihr mehr als 15 Minuten aufnehmen könnt

[cubex55]

@MrStayler01

Steht in unserem Channel FAQ :)

[drdrtfehytf]

thank you for uploading!

[VideeyaGames]

its a headache to look at. if you wanna get it, i'd suggest the gba version, or at least the gbc version. dk country music does sound cool in 8-bit though

[GameAtHeart]

@VideeyaGames Well, that's because if you play it on a "GBA", you can change the Colors. Also, GBC or GBA Version? What are you talking about?

This is Donkey Kong Land, not Donkey Kong Country. There are some differences and the Story is different.

[VideeyaGames]

@GameAtHeart well i mean if you wanna play a dk country style game, go for the gbc or gba version. and yes, there was a dk country game on the gbc as well as gba. sorry, didn't mean to say dkl and dkc were the same

[GameAtHeart]

@VideeyaGames I know there is a GBC and a GBA Version. But there is no GB Version. Still, Donkey Kong Land feels like a "Country Style Game" as well.

[VideeyaGames]

@GameAtHeart yeah, i just considered dk land a dkc game, which i thought was the issue you were adressing... but i'm glad we can agree its basically the same game, with some differences.

[Kanashto]

The music in this game ......

[jimmyass]

the level at 1:19:52 has to be the hardest one of all, thank good for the secrete finish "swirlly thing" just bellow the gap of the first jump.

[jimmyass]

BEST ever game of all times. I was playing it only the other month. about 15 years after I got it for christmas!

[miko589]

@jimmyass haha yea i remember getting this when i was really young,i think i still have it to

[Knuckletz]

Die Musik in den Game war bis dato die beste gamemusic fuer GB games ^^ achja wie schaffstdu das die filme bei dir so lang sind? ich kann nur max 30min hochladen danach sagt der film ist zu groß / lang

[cubex55]

@Knuckletz

Steht in unserem channel FAQ ;)

[Knuckletz]

@cubex55 oh sogar deutsch :) danke schoen ^^

[TheGuy2691]

I LOVED this game as a kid, watching it here makes me want to buy the same gameboy pocket I had again (yellow :D) and just play this beast of a game all day long. The difficulty curve was an absolute work perfection, the graphics were well ahead of their time on a handheld, the music freakin' rocked and the overall game was just crazy.

[Alsaice]

Oh good god, the nautiluses that chase you... I remember freaking out over those when I was younger. Evil little guys! Swimming backwards, too... (nautiluses swim shell-first but these guys are swimming tentacles-first) I love nautiluses; I just prefer the non-aggressive ones. ;)

[lazycowpow]

thubs up if you watched the whole vid

[cloveofgarlic]

ill trade donkey kong land for super mario land

[ejuoi]

I have no idea how I ended up watching this but it brings back a lot of memories, this was my first game ever.

[iCTsang]

What was so special about the three DK Lands? Did the story take place b4 DKC or after the snes versions were made? :)

[sebistrebi]

Ah, the flying pigs! Totally forgot about them.

[TomKarabel24]

hell i miss this game...tho i like iam not playing it agian cuz i wass failing at it :P

[TwoEpicPeople]

LOL...this sounds WAAAAAY Better than the DKC on the GBA...ha...

[starboy35tcoos]

Man.....I had this game when I was mad young.......memories...

[bloodshed56]

this game brings back a

lot made it that far but could not kill him

[bananafruitsmoothie]

This brings back so many memories. I used to have this game when I was about 4 or 5, it was one of my first games growing up. Thank you so much for uploading this!

[WolverinaWorld]

One of my favorite games growing up.. Still have it and it's still awesome!

[KoningStoma]

I have played this for years. Brings me back.

[Joe402]

This is my first time seeing the last world no joke.

[MyChemicalJasper483]

still got this game and still like it :)

[shreddingjoris]

Te music with the ships where awesome XD !!!

[RazoredToTheBone]

Those good old days when I was younger... I miss it.

[NostalgicRaptor]

Ahh memories, I used to play this game.. but I found it horrendously hard. I now realise why - it's too hard to see what the heck you're doing! (I agree with what someone said lower down). That's not just me making excuses, either :P

[wirevirus]

I still love the music in the underwater levels!

[shakysyxx]

@wirevirus same,reminds me of my mario hack game,they have the music in it lol

[eldiabloesmujerysell]

holap exelente video !!! mi mama es una viciosa de este juego y gracias a ti pfff no se estrezo tanto ..... gracias

[PhilClemensUK]

This kinda reminds me of Donkey Kong Country 2 for the SNES, especially the first world.

[otaruargentino]

Nunca le pude pasar la final a este juego, el contraste me mataba y no veia un carajo y siempre perdia

[swires86]

its ok, but sometimes you waste way too much time for like 2 bananas...

[romanemul]

thank you for this longplay

[powe]

This game is damn near impossible to play on the original Gameboy. GB screen blurs dark colors as it scrolls. There's very little contrast between the sprite and the BG, which make it difficult to see your charactor. However, the game is Super Gameboy enhanced, which made the game more playable. I have to assumed that this game is made for Super Gameboy. However, it's now more playable on the Gameboy Color that the sprite and the BG are different color.

[sebistrebi]

@powe When I was young I never had these problems on the original game boy.

[randomdude581]

@powe Tch. you think thats bad? Try on an emulator. Looks like somebody vomited grey pixels all over the screen.

[ryodimos]

@powe it was my first game dont say anything about it i will kill you XD

[0takuMetalheadGamer]

@powe Why did i play it without any problems on an original gameboy then? I dont want to doubt you offcourse but i never had problems with that.

[CaptainObvious0000]

@powe

i played it on the original gameboy and i have no idea what you're talking about.

[Pissugar]

@powe well, that didn't stop me from beating the whole game a couple times back in the days of the big fat GB.

[theultimatekoopa2]

13:15 -- you just fall down that gap and suddenly your in a bonus? That's just weird.

[Kieran84ire]

This was Gameboy or Gameboy Color? I am confused. The case just says Gameboy :/ anyone help out?

[theultimatekoopa2]

No offence but look at this video. Please tell me... WHERE IS THE FREAKING COLOR? There's no color. So OBVIOUSLY it's for Gameboy Color .. incase you didn't realise that was sarcasm.

[Kieran84ire]

I have monochromatic blindness. Everything I see is in black and white. I just thought that since the graphics were so good it must be a Gameboy Color game.

[theultimatekoopa2]

I've never heard of it. But if it says "Game Boy" and not "Game Boy Color" then it should be obvious whether you can see color or not. Otherwise that'd be like saying is a game for PlayStation 3 or PlayStation 2. The case says "PlayStation 2".

[swires86]

its afaik the game with the best graphics on gameboy (together with dk land 2), just like the snes ones for their system

[shatteredheretic]

Old School!!!!

[ibenez54]

i like this game but it is very abnormal to other donkey kong games because the bosses and levels are weird, and since when is there a flying pig in donkey kong, and one more thing the levels are too long.

[RABBIDGamfan]

I don't know if it's out of nostalgia or truth, but I think this game is actually a little better than the original Donkey Kong Country.

The bonuses are more interesting, some of the DKL specific motifs have more interesting level designs, and it just seems to be a better and more well rounded game overall.

[evenmorebetter]

@RABBIDGamfan It's been years since I've played either, but I think that you might be right. I think I like the soundtrack a little more too, which is saying a lot. I think this might have been the last NES/GB-soundchip soundtrack that David Wise ever did, so after about 8 years working with really similar sound hardware, I get the feeling that he pretty well knew what he was doing with it.

[metalica2444266]

Im sorry for disagreeing with everyone, this is hurting my eyes to watch, gameboy wasn't made to even start to simulate snes, I would rather have crisp graphics.  awesome gameplay though, nice longplay

[runehunt]

You know this kind of.....

Looks like the snes games only its Gameboy

Very nice

[Redfoxe]

I got this as a Christmas present from my mom, but i never finished it, it was really hard (but not for this guy) ;)

[kabutosenseiisback]

Damn this games graphics were so far ahead of everything else at the time.

[strongo25]

@kabutosenseiisback It lacks that charm because they're pre-rendered and not hand drawn spites.

[Skenardo]

Hell yes DKC Gameboy! I've been trying to find this music for the longest time.

[goniochromism]

there's a GBS of it available (check Zophar's Domain.)
