Beautiful graphics, awesome music by David Wise , unique stages design , crazy difficulty , all of this makes a modern classic Nintendo game brought you by Retro Studios

The only downside to finding some of the puzzle pieces is that the bonus stages in each level can be a little repetitive; each stage just involves you collecting all of the bananas before the timer runs out, as such, I would recommend you skip these all-together on your first playthrough of a level, in order to really appreciate the level design.

The boss fights, like the levels are incredibly well designed, have multiple stages, and get harder as you go along.

And part of that is because it's such a well designed game

If this is your first playthrough of Tropical Freeze, I would recommend that you play on normal mode your first time around, to fully appreciate the level design, along with the reward of finishing a super challenging stage!Replay Value:

The music is great, the graphics is great, and the color is great

The graphics were very good and the detail was on point

An excellent game for an old Nintendo Gamers, its one of the most impressive and beatiful graphics I’ve ever seen.

Which was a shame because players who passed it up (or simply didn't want to invest in a Wii U to play it) missed out on one of the greatest sidescrolling platformers in recent memory

With all the great platformers that have come out lately, this game really shows its age.

If you like good platformers, check DKC Tropical Freeze out.

Amazing game one of the best 2d platformers its just so fun and never gets

One of the greatest platformers I have ever had the pleasure of playing

My brother loved this Nintendo Switch Donkey Kong game for his birthday!!!

If you liked NES and Sega Genesis games, and miss them, the Switch is really bringing that fun feeling back to games, so far, my favorite

I love donkey kong since i was a kid, and when i found out that they had it tbe ninendo switch i.had to get it

Son enjoyed the game, but completed all levels quite quickly.

right now!Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is one of the best games for Wii U now available for Nintendo Switch

Funky took a break on the Wii U but came back stronger than ever on the switch!

The maestro has likely crafted what is one of my favorite video game soundtracks.

may be one of my all time favorite video game soundtracks.

We both grew up with the Super Nintendo ones and this reminds us both of them.

I grew up in the 90s, and the Super Nintendo Donkey Kong games are some of my favorites of all time

This is a game that manages to perfectly blend the classic, retro (another pun) gameplay of the Super Nintendo Donkey Kong Country Games, while evolving it into something that never could have been conceived of more than twenty years ago.

It's far better than Donkey Kong Country Returns (which was already an excellent game) and at times even exceeds the best of the original trilogy on the Super Nintendo

Docked 2 because Nintendo is dirty for ditching the Wii U then porting titles over to the switch at full price ($60).

The Switch price point is a little up there, and the Wii U version is actually much cheaper to get now; that is something to consider if you are one of the few people who own a Wii U, as this is very much still as good on the Wii U as it is on the Switch.

If you want some fantastic good fun with the Kong’s and never played it on the U then get it now!!

While it has the old-school look, and old-school challenge, this is very much a modern Donkey Kong Country Game.

I grew up in the 90s, and the Super Nintendo Donkey Kong games are some of my favorites of all time

This game was “Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze.”

I love that we can switch out characters, ride on each other’s backs (and other things like Rhino’s) surf over spikes and on and on with the hat full of Donkey Kong Favorites (like mine train carts and swimming)

With all that to say, stop reading my review, get this game, and go on an adventure that with Donkey Kong and his crew, and have the “coolest” DK adventure in a lifetime!Cons

Diddy Kong allows DK to hover for a bit, Dixie has a helicopter spin which allows her to propel DK upwards and Cranky has a cane bounce that allows him to damage certain enemies

REALLY loved Dk as a kid, still just as fun to play with, with the family, the safe mode is good for

a genius the music in this game is mind blowing

The music is incredible as usual, and it's actually quite a challenging platformer (but I like challenges)

They are also, like the levels, enjoyable enough to play more than once!Now, the part that everyone has been waiting for, Funky Mode.

This version offers the challenging original game as well as “funky” mode which makes it that much more accessible to smaller kids (and dads who haven’t played video games in a while).

the boss battles are just so different each time would also recommend funky kong mode if you want it

There's an easy mode, but I prefer playing on the harder difficulty

REALLY loved Dk as a kid, still just as fun to play with, with the family, the safe mode is good for

There is one level where you are ingulfed in a snowball in its last phase and are crushing through enemies and breaking through snowmad towers.

Warning: later levels have become crushingly difficult.

but it has a mode that allows you to skip the level if you've died enough

Not only are the levels themselves so much fun to replay, but the game also has hidden levels on every island that you can only unlock if you collect every kong letter in each level on each island.

It really is a testament to the ingenuity of the game design that the levels can be so incredibly hard, and yet remain so fun even after you beat them.

I love Funky Kong for looking like the T&C Surf and Skate gorilla, too

This game features a funky kong mode that makes your play throughout easier

I love Funky Kong for looking like the T&C Surf and Skate gorilla, too

In the Nintendo Switch version of this game, you have the option to play through the game as the most chill and coolest Kong of all, Funky Kong.

I love donkey kong since i was a kid, and when i found out that they had it tbe ninendo switch i.had to get it

It is up to DK and his buddies to run, roll, swim, climb, barrel blast, mine cart, and swing their way across several different islands to defeat the evil overlord on each one, taking out enemies along the way, all as they make their way back to their home to face off against the snow mad king himself.

Delivering the final blow to the wicked snow mad king who invaded your home and turned it into an Icy wasteland

The best-looking levels are probably the ones at the end, as everything is covered din ice and snow, it is both a sad site but nonetheless beautiful.
