-'''''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''''' is a side-scrolling {{wp|2.5D}} [[Genre#Platform|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]] and his partner [[Kong]]s as they travel back to [[Donkey Kong Island]] after being flung away by the [[Snowmads]], an organization of {{wp|Vikings|Viking}}-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".
