Take it to the fridge with Cranky in ...


Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (https://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkctf)

After the success of Donkey Kong Country Returns (https://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkcr), Retro studios was tasked with creating a new Donkey Kong platformer.  In 2014, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (https://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkctf) hit the Wii U.  Once again, terrible things are afoot on Donkey Kong Island -- in this case, the Snowmads, who have covered everything with a layer of snow and ice.  Donkey Kong must save the day once again, by generally beating everything back into shape.

Donkey & Diddy Kong are the only heroes this time -- Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong are playable characters as well.  Cranky even gets to hop around on his cane, as if it were a pogostick!

Whereas Donkey Kong Country Returns (https://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkcr) used updated arrangements and covers of music from the original Donkey Kong Country (https://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkcountry), Tropical Freeze features all-new music by series composer David Wise.

In 2018, the game was ported to the Switch (https://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkctf-switch), with Funky Kong added as a playable character.
