It was previously misremembered by a developer to be an early version of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

About Virtual Boy
Nintendo's Virtual Boy (1995) was an early, tabletop-mounted stereoscopic 3D system that used red monochrome displays — a design that caused user discomfort and contributed to it being discontinued within a year. Its extremely short commercial life produced one of the smallest official game libraries of any Nintendo platform, making complete Virtual Boy titles a genuinely rare and sought-after niche among Nintendo collectors.
Gamevaro tracks Donkey Kong Country for Virtual Boy with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Donkey Kong Country to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.

Rarity & condition
No market sales have been tracked yet for Donkey Kong Country — this could mean it rarely changes hands, or simply that Gamevaro hasn't recorded a sale for it yet. Be the first to add it to your collection.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
