Donkey Kong Country on the SNES had several ports to other systems like the Game Boy Color or the Game Boy Advance. It might sound insane that Nintendo and Rare, made a port on an 8 bit system from a 16 bit game. It was done though and not only is there a new level, but there is also some bonus features and a better save mechanism. As consoles were getting more and more powerful. The portable game systems did not get much more advanced. The Game Boy Color had a faster processor and a full color screen unlike it's predecessor the original Game Boy. As more and more advanced titles were coming out for game consoles. Most of them had ports to the Game Boy Color. Some were cancelled like the original resident evil on the Game Boy Color, some were deluxe versions of older games, and most were just severally scaled down ports of games on the game consoles. This port of Donkey Kong Country, which was originally released for the SNES in 1994. Got a port for the Game Boy Color. The graphics and sound look completely different then the original because of the limited hardware capabilities of the Game Boy Color. Despite the technical challenges that Rare and Nintendo had to overcome. They managed to do it. They did what they could to make it as close to the original version as possible. They also added some needed changes. Like an improved save mechanism. There were also a bunch of bonus features, like some mini games, and a bunch of printable stuff that you could print on the Game Boy printer.

GAMEPLAY A-  : Just as original as the original. You do pretty much to same stuff like smashing barrels and enemies, collecting bananas and finding bonus rooms. The thing that's missing is the ability to switch between Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, in fact they are not both on the screen. Still the gameplay is just as good as the original and nothing is better then that. 

STORY C- : The story is no different then the original. King. K Rool, stole the Kong's banana hoard and they have to retrieve it. The story is simple which is nice, but it could use more work.

GRAPHICS A: Nintendo and Rare did their best to make the graphics look good, there is a bit of slow down and break up but it's a rare happening. There is less colors then the original but the characters and models are still fluidly animated and it is very impressive by Game Boy Color standards.

SOUND B+: They could have at least tried to make some more complex music, but the music is still good. Sadly some of the songs are recycled from Donkey Kong Land, not Donkey Kong Country. I have heard better music on a Game Boy Color, but at least it is faithful to Donkey Kong Country.

ADDICTIVENESS A+: This game is so addicting I could play it forever. Anybody will want to keep playing, until they beat the game. I died a lot I really did, and I kept going and going.

DEPTH A+: Not only does the game have a new level, but it also has a ton of bonus features, like some mini games, printable stuff, 2 player games, and even different languages. This game has some more stuff but that is something for you to discover.

DIFFICULTY HARD: It is not as hard as the original but it is still pretty hard. A difficulty changing option would have been awesome, because the game is pretty hard.
