When I turned on my Game Boy and began playing stage one however, I was alarmed to find that the large sprites were quite hard to see against the detailed scrolling backgrounds! So much so, that I found myself losing life after life, trying my best to make sense of the muddy tones of green that wildly smeared across the screen as I played. I was a big fan of the SNES version that had exploded onto the market a year earlier, and was excited to see Rareware’s take on Donkey Kong barrel it’s way onto Nintendo’s handheld console.
Very glad I gave this hack a second go with the new version.When I was 10, I remember playing Donkey Kong Land when it was first released back in 1995. I also like all of the little touches in the menus, from the selected brother being the one at the top of the screen to them changing their overall color or expression to match your graphics or difficulty selection. I haven't gotten the chance to try Luigi, just the base Mario, but he's a great option to have. And the best part is that if you don't like those changes, you can choose the original sprites and still get the colorized experience. They both better resemble the official art and help the new Mario sprite feel more cohesive with the experience. What I also didn't realize was that Version 2 does a much more extensive job to re-draw the game's objects and enemies. I didn't notice it when the hack came out (even though the description mentions it, oops), but the Mario sprites were redrawn to make them more proportionate with the classic style sprite, and it looks much nicer than in Version 1. and despite what I thought I would do, I actually played on the new graphics mode, not the old graphics mode.
Bumping this thread to say that, after over a month, I finally got to play the new version of Land DX.
