Description

Donkey Kong Land 2 was in some ways a remake of the SNES smash hit, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. It starred Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong as they set off to rescue Donkey Kong from Kaptain K. Rool and the Kremling Krew. While it featured the same level names as Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest (except for Castle Crush, changed to Dungeon Danger; and Haunted Hall, changed to Krazy Koaster), the level layouts were brand new, as well as some of the maps.

Plot

Donkey Kong Land 2 had the same storyline from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The manual contains a simplified version of the story from its SNES counterpart - K. Rool has kidnapped Donkey Kong and is at Crocodile Isle, and it's up to Diddy and Dixie to save him.
