Despite its name, the Sea Breeze Cove is actually set in an archipelago, as its map highlights. Its levels either take place on coastal land above water, or start off on land but take place mainly underwater. Many aquatic enemies appear throughout the world, including first-time enemies such as [[Fritz]] and [[Mama Saw]], which are based on real-life electric eels and sawfish, respectively. [[Squiddicus]] makes a comeback after ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'', in a stage called [[Irate Eight]]. | Despite its name, the Sea Breeze Cove is actually set in an archipelago, as its map highlights.

Primary ornamental features of Sea Breeze Cove are the the large stone statues, testimony of a fictional ancient civilization. Some protrude from the beach sands in the background, while other are sunken underwater. In a level called [[Rockin' Relics]], these statues are seen to be powered by electricity, thus performing sudden movements that have effect on the [[Kong]]s' progress. They can also be seen in what looks like a lofty underwater ancient corridor in [[High Tide Ride]]. According to Retro Studio artist Eric Kozlowsky, these ancient idols were inspired from "[[wikipedia:Dogū|jomon dolls]]".<ref>[http://landofkoz.blogspot.ro/2014/02/its-on-like-kong.html Eric Kozlowsky's blog post on his work in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'']</ref> | |||
