Being an avid Donkey Kong Country Fan, I have a strong distaste for this "port" of the game. Long story short, it is Donkey Kong Country from the SNES, but a little more clunkier and designed to run on the Gameboy Color. In my eyes the Gameboy Color, is a portable NES mainly because it provides color to games that don't boast high graphics. This game was made to run on Super Nintendo and even Gameboy Advance to match the tricks you could do and get a good feel from moving the characters from Point A to Point B. This game just feels clunky and hard to control and some tricks that you would do in Donkey Kong Country SNES just don't work here due to the Kongs feeling a bit stiff. It has the same feel of Donkey Kong Land, but with Donkey Kong Land the game's levels and settings were built around how stiff the Kongs were. I would recommend playing this game and giving a try for yourself using a Gameboy Player or a cartridge on a Gameboy Advance.
