Item Description

A fleet of Snowmads sails in, a horn blasts, and Donkey Kong Island freezes solid in the middle of DK's birthday party. That is how Tropical Freeze begins, and Retro Studios spends the rest of the game proving that 2D platforming can still be as inventive and as demanding as anything on the shelf.

Blown far from home and forced to fight their way back across a chain of islands, Donkey Kong is joined by three partners who change how every level plays. Diddy's jetpack hovers over gaps, Dixie's ponytail spin gives an extra lift at the top of a jump, and Cranky Kong, playable in a Donkey Kong Country game for the first time, bounces on his cane over spikes and hazards in a move straight out of DuckTales. Swimming returns to the series, the camera swoops and swings through stages instead of sitting flat, and mine cart and rocket barrel runs test your reflexes at full speed. Bring a friend and the second player takes control of the partner Kong in co-op.

The soundtrack is a big part of why players hold this game in such high regard. David Wise, the composer behind the original Donkey Kong Country music on the Super Nintendo, returned to the series, and his score here is lush, layered and often moving. Stages like Grassland Groove, where the savanna backdrop dances along to the music, show how tightly the sound and the level design work together. The bosses, Lord Fredrik and his Snowmad commanders, are big multi-phase fights that ask you to learn their rhythms too.

Nintendo Selects was Nintendo's reprint line for proven favorites, and the game on the disc is the same Tropical Freeze that launched in 2014. On the Wii U it is the original home of a platformer many players rank at the very top of the Donkey Kong Country series, years before its later Switch release brought it to a wider audience.

About the game

All the challenging ground-pounding, barrel-blasting, side-scrolling mine cart action from the Donkey Kong Country series is back along with a bushel of new game-play elements and features. And now, there are four playable characters! Dixie Kong is back to join the adventure as a playable character alongside Diddy Kong, and for the first time in Donkey Kong Country, bearded old hero Cranky Kong joins the adventure with his bouncy cane. Any of the three can buddy up with Donkey Kong, and each character offers a different gameplay experience. On their journey to reclaim Donkey Kong Island, Donkey Kong and his friends travel across five islands with a variety of stages that include underwater areas and frozen environments.
