Quick notes
- Donkey Kong leads the standard campaign. In normal solo play the other Kongs ride as partners; local co-op gives the second player independent control.
- Dixie and Cranky expand the toolkit. Their upward spin and cane bounce solve routes differently from Diddy’s hover.
- Funky is a shopkeeper on Wii U. Playable Funky and Funky Mode belong to the Switch port.
- The Snowmads replace the older enemy force. Lord Fredrik commands the invasion that freezes the home island.
