Snowflake
Snowflakes[1] are crystallized ice formations encountered in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. They are widespread in Forest Folly, one level of the game. Snowflakes appear slowly from above, floating smoothly on predetermined paths. They come along in rows, each row following a distinct path in the air. Some snowflakes sway in arc-shaped patterns, returning to the sky thereafter; some leave wavy trajectories, while other simply rain down into abysses.
Snowflakes are dangerous to touch, depleting one heart from the Kongs' health meter if they come into contact. On the other hand, snowflakes can be destroyed with a projectile, such as a barrel or Tuff Tuck. Alternatively, they can be shattered by Cranky Kong's Cane Bounce.

Whenever possible, take a moment to observe a cluster of snowflakes before you attempt to slip past them." — von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier.
