Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze ROM Description

Tropical Freeze is a classic Donkey Kong Country game in every aspect. It was released by Nintendo on the Wii U in February 2014. It also had a remake released on the Nintendo Switch in 2018.

Challenging, Retro-Style Platforming

Tropical Freeze brings us back to the golden age of platformer games, not just because of its 2D gameplay but also because of its difficulty. The game often requires pinpoint precision to get through obstacles without slipping or losing health successfully. For this reason, players may have to replay certain sections multiple times. Each level always has different objectives to complete, and you may have to try several times to get a perfect run.

Familiar Kong Characters with Unique Abilities

The game brings back all the iconic characters of this series. We have Donkey Kong as the default character, and we do not have any distinct special abilities. Diddy Kong can use his jetpack to hover. Dixie Kong can spin her hair like a propeller to give her jumps an added boost. Cranky Kong can use his cane as a pogo stick like Scrooge McDuck in the DuckTales game, allowing him to jump onto typically very dangerous spots. All the other Kong characters can ride on Donkey Kong’s back in single-player mode, allowing solo players to utilize the various abilities. In multiplayer, the characters obviously control separately, but player two can still jump on Donkey Kong’s back at any time to get past certain obstacles more easily.

Thrilling Boss Battles

Tropical Freeze has really engaging boss battles. If you found yourself leaving games like Super Mario 3D World wanting more epic boss fights, then you should try the ones in Tropical Freeze. Each boss battle is a challenge, and each requires the player to have different strategies to overcome.

Stunning Modern Art and Music in a Retro World

While Tropical Freeze’s gameplay may take players back to the golden age of platformers, its art design and soundtrack are executed in a big-budget manner, similar to AAA titles. There is a hint of realism in this cartoonish world that will occasionally leave you awestruck and delighted.

A Flawless Donkey Kong Country Game

There are no flaws to be found in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze for the Wii U. Retro Studio seems to have kept a tight hold of the successful formula of Donkey Kong Country Returns and improved almost every aspect to create this final product. You can now play it for free on the Wii U emulator by downloading the ROM that we provide below.
