'''Mangrove Cove''' is the first level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'', located in the [[Lost Mangroves]] area.

==Overview==

The level begins after [[Donkey Kong]] forces himself out of a destroyed plane, which he has been thrown in to the island by the [[Snowmads]]. Back in the plane, the player can find an [[Extra Life Balloon|Red Balloon]], as well as some TV's which display the logo of ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' if pounded next to, exactly like in said game. Donkey Kong will first go down a running waterslide which leads him into a lake, introducing the ability to swim in the game. If he collects some of the bubbles coming from a diving helmet-like pipe, DK can refill his meter, which is a limit on the amount of time he can be underwater. After getting out of the lake, which contains [[Finley]]s, Donkey Kong will go through a beach area with [[Dozy|Dozies]], and [[Punchy Paddy|Punchy Paddies]]. At a rock platform, a [[Tutorial Pig]] will tell the player how to pound, and if they do it where the Punchy Paddy was, it will reveal an underground area with several bananas. After that, there is a wooded-like area with a [[Venus Trap Platform]], and more Dozies. Here, the Tutorial Pig will tell the player that they can flip down platforms tied by vines with ZL and ZR. After that, a large flying banana appears, giving the player a [[Puzzle Piece]], followed by a checkpoint. The player must then use the pulling technique on a tree stump to open up a large platform area containing more Venus Trap Platforms and Punchy Paddies.  

After collecting the fourth Puzzle Piece, the player will find a [[Barrel]], which will bring [[Diddy Kong]] into the game and enable the multiplayer function. With Diddy Kong, his jetpack enables the duo to fly, which helps them cross a pit of thorny vines. Following that, the player can exit the area, falling into another water body like the first one, with [[Wild Wendell]]s. Here, DK and Diddy can find an Extra Life Balloon on a platform above the surface, as well as [[Banana Coin]]s and a letter. After swimming through the grass underwater, the Kongs will find get a chance to collect three Life Balloons in an amount of time. When they get past the beach area after the lake, there is a stump plug, similar to the one before, that the player must pull to reveal another pop-up jungle area, with [[Barrel Cannon]]s leading them to another Puzzle Piece. Following more cannons, which at one point will contain a letter, DK and Diddy bounce through trees into a small beach area with another checkpoint. After going through the beach, which contains a falling Snowmad ship, Venus Trap Platforms, [[Fluff]]s, [[Waldough]]s, and [[Tucks]], as well as the "G" letter, the Kongs can blast to another island via a Barrel Cannon and end the level by hitting a [[Slot Machine Barrel|Slot Machine]].

#Upon pounding on the crate after the second platform in the beach area with the pirate ship, there will be a secret underground area where some Tutorial Pigs will toss the the Kongs multiple bananas. If they collect all of them, a Puzzle Piece appears afterwards.
