'''Cheat codes''' are built-in cheating mechanisms in video games that usually give the player considerable advantages, such as the ability to skip to any level regardless of progress, invincibility, or power-ups to the player character. Cheats are typically activated with unprompted button sequences in the game's menus or by accomplishing an obscure or illogical series of events within the game. Despite their name, cheat-codes do not always give the player an advantage, as something entered like a cheat-code may instead result in graphical changes or unlock extra content that does not directly benefit the player.

====''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]''====
The English version of the game has three cheat codes the player can implement. The codes do not work on the Japanese version. While on the title screen, the player has to hold {{button|Padleft}} or {{button|Padright}}, and input one of the below combinations. If done correctly, an extra life sound effect will play.
*50 lives: {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|B}}
*40 Banana Coins: {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|A}}
*47 [[Kremkoin]]s: {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|B}}, {{button|GB|A}}, {{button|GB|B}} (in order to get 100% completion, the standard Kremkoins must still be collected)
====''[[Donkey Kong Land III]]''====
Like its prequel, ''Donkey Kong Land III'' features cheat codes that the player can activate by entering a certain button combination from the title screen. This plays a sound effect, and most cheats go into effect when the player enters a save file.
Unlike ''Donkey Kong Land 2'', this game only uses the D-Pad for its button combination instead of the {{button|GB|A}} and {{button|GB|B}} buttons. Cheats appear in both the original and Color versions of ''Donkey Kong Land III'', whereas cheats did not appear in the Japanese version of ''Donkey Kong Land 2''.
*Pressing {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padright}} grants Dixie and Kiddy fifty [[extra life|extra lives]].
*Pressing {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padright}} causes the player to play the [[cards]] mini-game after they exit from the title screen.
*Pressing {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Paddown}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Padright}} unlocks every area except the Lost World. The [[Stop Watch|Watch]]es, [[Bonus Coin (Donkey Kong franchise)|Bonus Coin]]s, and DK Coins are not unlocked.
*Pressing either {{button|Padleft}}, {{button|Padup}}, {{button|Paddown}}, or {{button|GB|Select}} changes the level of the title screen's gameplay demo, depending on the number of times every button is pressed. The Kongs eventually die in every gameplay demo, except for the default [[Jetty Jitters]] demo in the original Game Boy release:
**One time: [[Rickety Rapids]]
**Two times: [[Whiplash Dash]]
**Three times: [[Deep Reef Grief]]
**Four times: the gameplay demo resets to the default Jetty Jitters.
