Donkey Kong Country: GBC

Conversation of the classic Donkey Kong Country, refactored for a much less powerful handheld device. The game follows the gorilla Donkey Kong and his nephew Diddy Kong as they set out to recover their stolen banana hoard from King K.Rool and the Kremlin army. In 40 side scrolling stages the player collects items, defeats enemies and bosses, and finds secrets on their journey to defeat K. Rool.

Additions to the GBC include 2 minigames and gameboy printer support.
