The Game Boy Color port was never released outside of Japan. However, on September 9, 2020, a Japanese prototype of the Game Boy version was leaked. It is not dual-compatible with original Game Boy units, as evident from the transparent cartridge where it is contained. The original Game Boy version was never released in Japan, which instead received a Game Boy Color port in 2000. Like its two predecessors, Donkey Kong Land III is housed on a yellow cartridge and it has specific Super Game Boy enhancements, including a unique border of pocket watches. Donkey Kong Land III is the third and final entry of the Donkey Kong Land series.

It is loosely based on the SNES game, Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!, as it features the same characters, enemies, and level environments. Donkey Kong Land III (also formatted as Donkey Kong Land 3 ) is a platformer video game for the Game Boy developed by Rareware and published by Nintendo in 1997.
