Nintendo Switch Platformer Adventure

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze brings the classic side-scrolling series to Nintendo Switch in a Standard Edition release rated E for Everyone. The game includes the original Wii U adventure plus an exclusive Funky Mode designed for newer players. Up to two players can team up locally using a single pair of Joy-Con controllers.

Solo Players and Local Co-op Fans

This release suits anyone who wants a polished platformer playable alone or with a friend on the same console. The added Funky Mode gives extra mobility options that smooth the difficulty curve for less experienced players. Buyers who only play online multiplayer or who need a version on a different platform should look elsewhere.

Exclusive Funky Mode on Switch

The defining difference from earlier versions is the Switch-exclusive Funky Mode, letting you play as Funky Kong with double jump, hover, infinite rolls and a surfboard that negates spikes. This mode is only available on the Nintendo Switch release. Cartridge model 045496592660 identifies this Standard Edition.
