Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze makes its Nintendo Switch debut, bringing the acclaimed platformer's punishing yet rewarding level design to a new generation. Arctic invaders known as the Snowmads have taken over Donkey Kong Island, and it falls to Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong to reclaim it across islands packed with hidden collectibles, tricky hazards, and inventive boss fights. Each character brings a distinct ability to the table, encouraging players to think carefully about traversal as much as timing.
This Switch release adds Funky Mode, a beginner-friendly option that lets players take on the adventure as surfing simian Funky Kong, who can double jump, hover, and roll through obstacles that would stop the other Kongs cold. Two-player co-op and a wealth of collectibles round out a package that remains one of the toughest and most polished platformers on the system. This physical cartridge is region R1.
