** Additionally, the Rocket Barrel theme from ''Donkey Kong Country'' Returns gets a few remixes here, and [[spoiler:the Golden Temple's theme (which itself is a medley of jingles and beats from the ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongJr'' games) returns for the bonus world again]].

Added DiffLines:

* FranchiseKiller: Despite strong reviews on release, like many Wii U first-party games, it sold below expectations. Even with budget re-release and constant steep discounts, the Wii U version sold around 2.02 million copies by the end of 2020 according to 2021 CESA papers, a far cry from 5 million copies by ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountryReturns''. This ended up putting the series on ice for the moment; even though the Nintendo Switch port in 2018 generated interest in the game again, it still wasn't enough to warrant a new game on Switch, with the developer Creator/RetroStudios assigned to ''Metroid Prime 4'' instead.


Added DiffLines:

* RoleReprise: Toshihide Tsuchiya returned as Funky Kong, with his last speaking role ''VideoGame/MarioSuperSluggers'' in 2008, 6 years ago.

* MilestoneCelebration: The Wii U version was released in 2014, 20 years after the original ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''. Fittingly, the game features numerous nods to the original trilogy and has the Kongs celebrating the titular ape’s birthday at the start.

** Just like ''Returns'', you can unlock concept art by collecting puzzle pieces. A lot of the concept art reveals enemies and stage ideas that never got implemented into the game itself.

Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame:
** Bramble Scramble is the name of a level both in this game and ''Donkey Kong Country 2''.
** In one of Swanky's quizzes in the second world of ''Donkey Kong Country 2'', he asks what the name of the first lava level you first played in, and one of the choices is Meltdown Mayhem, which is actually the name of the penultimate level of this game.

** [[https://www.mariowiki.com/List_of_extras_in_Donkey_Kong_Country:_Tropical_Freeze#/media/File:DKIsland_art10.png One piece of concept art]] shows an unused idea for a minigame where Donkey Kong would be in a snowball fight against three of the Snowmads. Interestingly, one of them is an arctic fox, an animal that is not used in the final game.

Fan Nickname is now YMMV.


* FanNickname: [[VideoGame/DuckTales Scrooge McKong]] for Cranky Kong, due to him also being an old man who uses a cane to do a pogo jump.

This is incorrect, on Normal Mode he still plays on a 3DS. In Funky Mode it's swapped out with a Switch: https://twitter.com/JarylGaren/status/1434261567139241986


* OrphanedReference: In the Switch rerelease, the IdleAnimation where Donkey Kong plays a UsefulNotes/Nintendo3DS has been replaced with one where he plays a UsefulNotes/NintendoSwitch. In spite of this, the [[https://mario.wiki.gallery/images/9/9e/SeaBreezeCoveDiorama.jpg Diorama]] for Sea Breeze Cove still depicts him holding a blue 3DS.
