Wise perfectly grasps the type of music that certain levels should have to where I cannot remember a single instance of music seeming out of place at all.
While he was not a part of Returns, original series composer David Wise returns and you can easily tell the difference.
Similar to Super Mario 3D World, this game features a fantastic mix of both original and classic themes from past games in the series. Keeping up with the tradition of this series, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze features incredibly soothing and exquisite music. The gorgeous blue background meshes wonderfully with the Kong silhouettes, including Dixie Kong and Cranky Kong receiving a pink hat and white beard respectively. Luckily, these silhouette levels make a return in Tropical Freeze, with levels like Amiss Abyss in the fourth world being standout thanks to being an underwater level. One of my absolute favorite parts of Donkey Kong Country Returns were the silhouette levels, where almost the entire foreground is black, minus things like Donkey Kong’s red tie, while the background designed to stand out. The upgrade to HD greatly enhances Retro’s already charming designs, including both the characters and levels themselves.
With vibrant colors and art style, this is one of those games where you can just find yourself sitting there and watching the levels themselves before moving forward. You have the ability to switch this, which I highly recommend.Īs previously mentioned, the opening cutscene looked beautiful and that continues into the game itself. As the game starts, it has Ground Pound and Roll Attack on the X/Y buttons while Grab and Throw are on the ZL/ZR buttons. Also on the controls, you get a little bit of customization between some of the moves you will use most often. You can technically play it with a Wii Remote and Nunchuk and have to waggle it to do this, but it is nice to have the option not to with the GamePad or Pro Controller.
One of the most annoying aspects of Donkey Kong Country Returns was that you had to waggle the controller to roll, but it is easily placed with a button on the Wii U GamePad this time around.
