It also stars [[Dixie Kong]] and [[Kiddy Kong]]. ''Donkey Kong Land III'' is the third and final entry of the [[Donkey Kong Land (series)|''Donkey Kong Land'' series]].

 The original Game Boy version was never released in Japan, and it instead received a [[Game Boy Color]] [[Reissue#Ports|port]] in 2000. It is not dual-compatible with original Game Boy units, as evident from the transparent cartridge where it is contained. However, on September 9, 2020, a [[List of Donkey Kong Land III pre-release and unused content#Japanese Game Boy prototype|Japanese prototype of the Game Boy version]] was leaked. The Game Boy Color port was never released outside of Japan.

 *Despite his name being featured in the title, [[Donkey Kong]] does not appear in ''Donkey Kong Land III''. However, he is mentioned in the manual's story. Aside from ''[[Diddy Kong Racing]]'' and [[Diddy Kong Racing DS|its DS remake]], this game is the only title of the ''Donkey Kong'' franchise that he does not appear in.
 *The game's soundtrack consists of 8-bit re-orchestrations of the music from ''Donkey Kong Country 3''. However, the tracks "Frosty Frolics" and "Pokey Pipes" do not appear; the snow and pipe levels use "Cascade Capers" and "Cavern Caprice" instead, respectively. In addition, "Rocket Run" is programmed into the game—however, it is unused and can only be accessed by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Ac8Ru3u91w ROM hacking].
