Play Donkey Kong 5 : The Journey of Over Time and Space Online

Donkey Kong 5 is this weird little Game Boy Color game where DK gets tossed through time and space like a confused, barrel-throwing tourist. One minute you're bouncing on dinosaurs in the Jurassic era, the next you're dodging robot bees in some neon future—it shouldn't work, but somehow it does. The controls feel just like the old SNES games, except now you're collecting hourglass pickups instead of bananas.

The pixel art's got that chunky GBC charm, especially when you hit the trippy "space warp" levels where everything goes all rainbow. My favorite part? The caveman level where you ride a pterodactyl while dodging meteors. It's short (like, "beat it in an afternoon" short), but there's something hilarious about watching Donkey Kong awkwardly fist-bump a robot version of himself. Definitely the weirdest DK game you've never heard of.
