Donkey Kong Land, the best-selling Donkey Kong game ever released for a Game Boy system and one of the most distinctive original Game Boy cartridges because it came in a yellow cartridge shell rather than the usual grey. It sold about 3.91 million copies worldwide, which gives it major historical weight beyond its collector appeal. The game is also especially notable because Rare managed to translate the visual identity of Donkey Kong Country onto monochrome hardware using pre-rendered graphics, making it one of the most technically impressive platformers on the original Game Boy.
