Obviously multiple unique characters is a good thing, and they really deliver in that regard in Tropical Freeze. In addition to the returning DK and Diddy, Dixie Kong is now playable as well, and for the first time in a DKC game you can even take control of Cranky Kong! The characters are all very unique with pros and cons over each other, but truthfully, they’re also the cause of some of the game’s biggest frustrations. This game takes a different approach, and is the first game in the series to provide more than 2 playable characters.
DONKEY KONG 3 SCREW FULL
The first game starred Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong, then Diddy Kong and Dixie Kong in the sequel, then Dixie Kong and Kiddie Kong in 3, and Returns came full circle and brought it back to simply DK and Diddy. So first off, what’s new in this game? What sets this one apart from the previous 4 entries? Well one major addition would be the characters! Instead of an expanding roster of characters, the DKC games have always had more of a shifting roster that maxes out at 2. Tropical Freeze continues to provide the same dynamic and creative levels that the series has always given us, but it’s hard to not wish Retro Studios had done a little bit more. The revival on Wii from 2010, Donkey Kong Country Returns, was also an outstanding game in the same ways.

I’ve always loved Donkey Kong Country! The Super Nintendo trilogy was packed to the brim with creative and challenging levels that were memorable and left an impression each level had its own theme and gimmick that meant you could never mistake it for another.
