Swimming has been a part of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' since [[Donkey Kong Country|the first game in the series]]. In the [[SNES]] games, the Kongs can swim through the water just as Mario does in the 2D ''Mario'' games. They are helpless underwater without the help of [[Enguarde]], who can move with only the {{button|snes|pad}}, as well as dash forward and stab enemies with his sharp bill.

[[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] are unable to swim in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''; the Kongs simply die when touching water. Swimming is brought back in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', where the Kongs are able to swim in 360 degrees, as well as use a new [[Corkscrew (Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze)|spinning attack]] by pressing the roll button, though they now have an air meter, which can refilled with bubbles. [[Dixie Kong]] is able to propel faster underwater with her hair. If two Kongs are paired up, they can perform an infinite Kong Corkscrew; in the Nintendo Switch port, [[Funky Kong]] can also do so on his own. Funky also has no air meter, as he wears swimming goggles.
