In order to team-up with either of his associates, though, Donkey will first need to beak open a barrel that sports their initials. Joining him on his quest to reclaim his home are three of his closest allies: Diddy, Dixie and Cranky. Across six different worlds, DK will jump, roll and swing has way through a perilous adventure to reclaim Donkey Kong Island from the magic-infused Snowmads.

Spoiler alert: I made a wise decision.īuilding upon the mechanics used in Donkey Kong Country Returns, which are, uh, not too different from the original SNES Country trilogy, Tropical Freeze is a fairly standard 2D platformer. There are many reasons to own the console, of course, but my love of Donkey Kong and company was strong enough to warrant dropping the cash on a new system.

Fun fact: This re-release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freezewas the thing that finally pushed me over the edge to buy the Nintendo Switch.
