#{{User|Super Radio}} A long time ago I saw the ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' article was just a superficial list of characters, items, and levels. Having played the game, I remember being uncontent with the article being just so negligent over the game's beautiful diversity. In other words, it didn't capture anything about the game's true substance, minus the story part which looked good from the start, so I decided to jump in and do some justice.<br>Firstly, I tried to explain the gameplay as if it is somebody's first ''DKC'' game, down to mentioning DK's most basic actions (walking, jumping) which are prevalent in most platformers. I detailed mechanics such as DK partners (describing their new abilities), vehicles (minecarts and rocket barrels), health count, swimming, plucking function etc., as well as game modes; basically everything I found to be relevant to the gameplay after exploring the game itself enough times, being careful to avoid any inaccuracies.<br>Secondary contributions of mine included the enemy, item and level tables, which, as you can see, follow a very similar format to those of other ''DKC'' articles for consistency's sake. Indeed, I tried to preserve the overall aspect of those articles, adding a blue hue to the table headers to go well with the ice stuff. Moving on, I wrote about every element covered by the Prima guide, and I would like to thank mr. {{User|Time Turner}} for his help on providing me with info from the guide.<br>Other contributions were the Marketing, Media, and Unused Content sections, the latter extending into a separate article, [[List of extras in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]. I sense some might consider the Marketing section too short - blame Nintendo, not me.<br>Lastly, I made sure over time that my writing is professional and concise; the text has undergone some hefty revisions due to it being originally plagued by an amateurishly pretentious and verbose style, for which I am to blame... In addition, there are no red links, and each article has substantial information on its subject! Of course, other users, like {{User|Toadette the Achiever}}, {{User|RandomYoshi}} and {{User|Mario jc}}, are to be credited for filling in many of the missing levels, as I only did a few.<br>I would like to know if this article respects the FA standards, and especially if it looks like something that would convince you to, well, play the game! | #{{User|Super Radio}} A long time ago I saw the ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' article was just a superficial list of characters, items, and levels.

#{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} Mistakes aside (see Baby Luigi's comments) I think this is a good article. There is no guarantee that one will play this due to the Wii U is no more and Nintendo moved to the Switch, but if one has a Wii U, this will convince them a little more than other things they may find. | #{{User|Yoshi the SSM}} Mistakes aside (see Baby Luigi's comments).

#{{User|Owencrazyboy9}} That is the longest reason for supporting a proposal or featured article ever. Article looks really good upon a quick skim-through, so I'm supporting it. | #{{User|Owencrazyboy9}} That is the longest reason for supporting a proposal or featured article ever.
