Take it to the fridge with Cranky in ...
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze After the success of
Donkey Kong Country Returns, Retro studios was tasked with creating a new Donkey Kong platformer. In 2014,
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 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 used updated arrangements and covers of music from the original
Donkey Kong Country,
Tropical Freeze features all-new music by series composer David Wise.
In 2018, the game was
ported to the Switch, with Funky Kong added as a playable character.
