'''''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''''', known in Japanese as '''''Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze''''', is a side-scrolling 2.5D platform game developed by [[Retro Studios]] and [[Monster Games]] for the [[Wii U]]. It is the sixth 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 attempt to return to [[Donkey Kong Island]] after being flung away by the [[Snowmads]], an organization of {{wp|Vikings|Viking}}-like seafarers who have claimed the Kongs' homeland as their own. Throughout their journey, the Kongs must overcome six islands that have been seized by the Snowmads, dealing with one of their commanders at the end of each island. 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 [[Cart|Mine Cart]] or a [[Rocket Barrel]]. The name "Tropical Freeze" is a pun on the term "tropical breeze".
