{{Quote2|If you fill the Kong POW meter, you can transform all enemies on screen into items. The type of item will change depending on your partner. In two-player mode, both players must press their respective buttons at the same time to perform a Kong POW attack.|''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' manual}}
'''Kong POW''' is a move used by [[Donkey Kong]] and another [[Kong]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]] that turns all onscreen enemies into a specific item. Its name could be a pun on "{{wp|Kung Pao chicken|kung pao}}." A yellow meter on the top left corner of the screen determines if the Kongs can use Kong POW. As the Kongs collect [[banana]]s, the meter fills up. Once they collect 100 bananas and a Kong is on Donkey Kong's back, the duo can use the ability. The enemies transform into a different item depending on which Kong is with Donkey Kong: [[Diddy Kong]] turns enemies into [[Red Balloon]]s, [[Dixie Kong]] turns them into [[Gold Heart]]s, and [[Cranky Kong]] turns them into [[Banana Coin]]s. The move cannot be used without another Kong, when the player is riding a vehicle, when they are inside a [[Barrel Cannon]], or while they are holding an object.


In multiplayer mode, Kong POW can be initiated if both players press the same button on their controllers.
