Translation Game Boy Color

Donkey Kong GB: Dinky Kong & Dixie Kong English translation

ドンキーコングGB ディンキーコング&ディクシーコング

Blaziken257's English patch for the Japan-only Game Boy Color edition of Donkey Kong Land III, so you can play the color version with English text.

What it is

Donkey Kong Land III came out in English on the original Game Boy, but its Game Boy Color edition never left Japan. Blaziken257's patch translates that color version into English and is listed as a full translation. Version 1.3 came out in October 2022; the same author also made a Spanish patch years earlier.

Behind the scenes

Blaziken257 has since started a partial disassembly of the game on GitHub, aiming to rebuild the translation and its fixes from source so they are easier to maintain and reuse. The patch listed here is the released translation, not that rebuild.

Playing it

Apply the patch to your own copy of the Japanese Game Boy Color cartridge following the instructions included with it.
