Donkey Kong is loosely based on the 1981 arcade game of the same name and its sequel Donkey Kong Jr. The game is also known as Game Boy Donkey Kong (as seen in the title screen), and also Donkey Kong '94 (the promotional title before release) to differentiate it from the 1981 arcade game. Like in the original arcade and NES version, the player takes control of Mario and must rescue Pauline from Donkey Kong (who are both given updated character designs for this game). Donkey Kong Jr. also appears in the game and serves as a hindrance to Mario's progress.

Unlike the other games in the Donkey Kong Land series for the portable, this is not a port but in fact a completely original follow-up to the first Donkey Kong Country. This time, a bitter Cranky Kong, jealous of all the success Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have had from DKC, states that the only reason their first adventure was such a big hit was because of all the fanciful graphics and sound. He challenges that they'd never cut it on an 8-bit system, and then proceeds to get King K. Rool to steal the banana hoard once again. There were several gameplay mechanics that were changed to better suit the Game Boy. For example, only one character was displayed at one time because of the smaller screen, while the second one would teleport in when players needed him.

Produced by Rareware and published by Nintendo, it was enhanced for the Super Game Boy with different shades of color, as well as a 16-bit banana border on the edges of the television screen. Like the original, it came packaged in a banana yellow cartridge. The game's name is often abbreviated DKL 2.

It was developed by Rareware and distributed by Nintendo. Like the other games in the series, DKLIII served as the portable follow-up to the bigger SNES Donkey Kong Country game that preceded it. In this case, DKL3 is both a port and a partial follow-up to Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. Also like the other games in the DKL series, DKL3 was enhanced for the Super Game Boy and was packaged with a "banana yellow" cartridge.
