Like in the original game, the player can play as Donkey or Diddy Kong, but only one can be on the screen at any given time. Unlike most platformers for the Famicom, the jump button is assigned to B, while A performs an attack. Unlike the original game, the player can't run, and is also unable to switch between each Kong. The game starts off with 3 lives, and there are no continues.
This port of Donkey Kong Land for the Game Boy has only 5 levels from that game, repeated twice each. The levels are based on the first level using that level theme in Donkey Kong Land, with the exception of the underwater level. However, 1-4 from Donkey Kong Land is the first level here, with every other level being in their correct order. Some of the enemy layouts were changed (such as 1-4 having a jumping Kremling instead of a walking one in the beginning) and many features were removed, such as animal buddies.
The graphics are mostly taken from Donkey Kong Land, although a couple of background details seem to have been drawn from scratch. (most notably, some of the levels contain clouds in the form of bananas, monkey heads and monkey feet). The logo is based off Super Donkey Kong GB's, with the GB removed. The intro consists of graphics and text from Super Donkey Kong's manual. Some of the music consists of tracks from Super Donkey Kong GB, while others were reused from The Panda Prince. The ending is the title screen with Jungle Hijinx playing and "The End" written on it.
