Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, known in Japanese as Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze, is a side-scrolling platform game developed by Retro Studios and Monster Games for the Wii U. It is the fifth game in the Donkey Kong Country series and a successor to Donkey Kong Country Returns. It follows the adventure of Donkey Kong and his partner Kongs as they travel back to Donkey Kong Island after being flung away by the Snowmads, an organization of -like seafarers. Throughout their journey, the Kongs must overcome six islands seized by Snowmads. Most levels feature classic platforming where the Kongs need to jump, roll, climb and swing to get to the end of an area, but some levels are traversed in a vehicle such as a Mine Cart or a Rocket Barrel. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is the first title in the series to feature more than two playable characters, with Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong acting as companions of Donkey Kong who provide him additional abilities. The name "Tropical Freeze" is a pun on the term "tropical breeze".
