'''Kong POW''' is a move in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]. It is used by [[Donkey Kong]] and another [[Kong]] to turn all enemies onscreen into a specific item. The move's name is likely a pun on "{{wp|Kung Pao chicken|kung pao}}." A yellow meter on the top left corner of the screen determines if the Kongs can use Kong POW. As the Kongs collect [[banana]]s, the meter fills up. Once they collect 100 bananas and a Kong is on Donkey Kong's back, the duo can use the ability. The enemies transform into a different item depending on which Kong is with Donkey Kong: [[Diddy Kong]] turns enemies into [[Red Balloon]]s, [[Dixie Kong]] turns them into [[Gold Heart]]s, and [[Cranky Kong]] turns them into [[Banana Coin]]s.

Kong POW is a move in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port. It is used by Donkey Kong and another Kong to turn all enemies onscreen into a specific item. The move's name is likely a pun on "kung pao." A yellow meter on the top left corner of the screen determines if the Kongs can use Kong POW. As the Kongs collect bananas, the meter fills up. Once they collect 100 bananas and a Kong is on Donkey Kong's back, the duo can use the ability. The enemies transform into a different item depending on which Kong is with Donkey Kong: Diddy Kong turns enemies into Red Balloons, Dixie Kong turns them into Gold Hearts, and Cranky Kong turns them into Banana Coins. The move cannot be used without another Kong, when the player is riding a vehicle, when they are inside a Barrel Cannon, or while they are holding an object.
In multiplayer mode, Kong POW can be initiated if both players press the same button on their controllers.
