Game Story and Characters

In Tropical Freeze, a group of chilly Viking animals called the Snowmads invade Donkey Kong Island. They freeze the island and kick Donkey Kong and his friends far away. Donkey Kong and his pals must travel across different islands to get back home. They need to defeat the Snowmads and unfreeze their island.

Players can control several famous Kong characters.

  • Donkey Kong: The main hero, strong and powerful.
  • Diddy Kong: Donkey Kong's best friend, who can fly with his barrel jetpack.
  • Dixie Kong: She can use her ponytail to spin and glide through the air. This was her first playable appearance in a Donkey Kong Country game since Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!
  • Cranky Kong: Donkey Kong's grumpy grandfather. He can use his cane to bounce on spikes and cross dangerous areas.

The game also has a two-player multiplayer mode. One player controls Donkey Kong, and the second player controls one of his friends. Working together helps players get through tough levels.

Music and Development
