'''''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''''' is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game developed by [[Retro Studios]] and [[Monster Games]] for the [[Wii U]]. It is the fifth game in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]] and a successor to ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. It follows the adventure of [[Donkey Kong|Donkey]], [[Diddy Kong|Diddy]], [[Dixie Kong|Dixie]], and [[Cranky Kong]] as they are flung from their homeland and attempt to come back and reclaim it from the [[Snowmads]], an organization of {{wp|Vikings|Viking}}-like seafarers. The name "Tropical Freeze" is a pun on the term "tropical breeze". | '''''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''''' is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game developed by [[Retro Studios]] and [[Monster Games]] for the [[Wii U]].
