Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze 2014

Is it still worth playing?

Retro Studios' 2014 side scrolling platformer for the Wii U, a direct sequel to Donkey Kong Country Returns, in which the Snowmads, led by Lord Fredrik, freeze Donkey Kong Island. Donkey Kong and his friends travel across several islands to reclaim their home. Player one is Donkey Kong, and a second player can control Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong or Cranky Kong. Each partner moves differently, Dixie hovering by spinning her ponytail and Cranky bouncing on hazards with his walking stick. They can all pluck items from the ground and throw stunned enemies, and a Kong-POW meter enables a special move that defeats on screen enemies. Funky Kong's shop replaces the Super Guide and sells support items. Partners with different moves, and help bought in a shop, still let you choose how hard a level is for you today.
