'''[[Donkey Kong Island]]''' is the sixth and last main island the [[Kong]]s have to venture through in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. In the prologue of the game, the Kong family were blown away on a faraway island by [[Snowmad]]s coming from the North Sea. Displaying a barbaric, {{wp|Vikings|Viking}}-like behavior, these warriors raided the island and conquered it, transforming the tropical paradise into an improvised arctic inferno.
'''[[Donkey Kong Island]]''' is the sixth and last main island the [[Kong]]s have to venture through in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port of the same name]]. The island was turned into a snowscape by the [[Snowmads]] after it was claimed as their territory and its levels, with the exception of the optional stages, are each orderly based on a world from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''.
 
The levels of this world, with the exception of the optional stages, are each orderly based on a world from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' (the predecessor of ''Tropical Freeze''), since Donkey Kong Island was the main area in that game. As such, [[Homecoming Hijinxs]], the first level of this world, corresponds to the [[Jungle (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle]] world from the past game; [[Seashore War]] to the [[Beach]] world, and so on until [[Meltdown Mayhem]], a volcanic area that takes place inside the [[Volcano]] world.
 
Frozen still, guarded by Snowmad ships and forts, and reminding little of what it used to be, Donkey Kong Island indicates a hostile atmosphere and cold reception, heavily suggested not only by the surrounding snow heaps or the unlively vegetation, with palm trees burdened by snow, but by the dramatic music that plays in its levels during the game. The fauna of the whole island seems to have been replaced in its entirety by Snowmads, as there are almost no allusions to enemies from the past game. In [[Blurry Flurry]], which is linked to the [[Cave]] world, the [[Big Squeekly]] that guarded the place is now seen frozen in a solid block of ice. [[Mugly]] can also be seen frozen in the Donkey Kong Island diorama. The only enemies returning from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' which the Kongs can physically interact with are [[Electroid]]s in [[Frozen Frenzy (level)|Frozen Frenzy]] (a stage corresponding to the [[Factory (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Factory]] world).
 
Eventually, the Kongs reach the Snowmads' ruler, [[Lord Fredrik]], in the Volcano Dome. They confront him in an arena inside the dome, and ultimately beat him and determine the withdrawal of the Snowmads.
 
During the events of the game, the map of Donkey Kong Island is navigated by using [[Barrel Cannon]]s. Since the paths are not physically marked on the map of the island, there are arrows that indicate where the player can go, much like on the world maps of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''.

“Not cool, man! The whole island's frozen over!”
Funky Kong, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

Donkey Kong Island is the sixth and last main island the Kongs have to venture through in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switch port of the same name. The island was turned into a snowscape by the Snowmads after it was claimed as their territory and its levels, with the exception of the optional stages, are each orderly based on a world from Donkey Kong Country Returns.

The map of Donkey Kong Island is navigated using Barrel Cannons. Since the paths are not physically marked on the map of the island, there are arrows that indicate where the player can go, much like on the world maps of Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest.

  • This is the first occasion since the original Donkey Kong Country when the Kongs can explore arctic regions on Donkey Kong Island, as the aforementioned game featured Gorilla Glacier, the summit of the island. It was subsequently replaced in Donkey Kong Country Returns with the Volcano.
  • The fact that the waters of Donkey Kong Island are very cold and dangerous in Tropical Freeze, and that Donkey Kong Country Returns lacked the ability to swim, make the original Donkey Kong Country the only game from its series where the player can explore the waters of Donkey Kong Island.
