How To Beat Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze's Final Boss
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is a tough game with a tough final boss, but Bryan Vore and myself donned our red tie and pink hat in order to take him down.
I included Donkey Kong Country Returns' final boss on a recent list of frustrating bosses, so it's no surprise that Tropical Freeze's final boss poses a similar challenge. You can check out the video below to see the end boss, learn some hints for the best way to tackle him, and see the game's ending, which brings up an important disclaimer: there are spoilers for the end of Tropical Freeze in the video below.
For our review of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, head here. For our Test Chamber on the game, head here. It's not Super Mario 3D World's end boss, but to see us tackle what is easily the game's hardest level, head here.
As a side note, there was some debate between Bryan and myself over the use of the sprint button in Tropical Freeze. We did some scientific experiments on the topic. You can read our findings here.
