Nintendo handed its Donkey Kong characters over to British studio Rare, which married the best parts of Mario and Sonic platforming with breakthrough 3D-rendered graphics.

The Donkey Kong Country series dates back to a time when Sonic the Hedgehog was helping Sega’s Genesis crush Nintendo’s SNES, and TV ads made Mario look uncool.

Even so, I wish every future Nintendo game had a Funky Mode, because it’s a great idea with a fantastic, fun-sounding name. Retro succeeded in making the game more accessible, but not in making the levels fully kid-friendly, unless just skipping parts of the game all the time strikes you as a good solution. But once my kids started playing, I knew I’d be asked to wield the controller through Tropical Freeze’s many hard parts. I was excited about Funky Mode, and so were my kids, who wanted to play what looked like a Pixar movie. For now, the Wii U version remains available on physical media at around $30 in North America.Above: As tight as the controls are during the platforming, they’re floatier underwater and downright challenging during barrel rocket rides. Maybe it’ll pop back up, say, a week after the Switch port has been out? I’ll circle back then and update. There’s still a lot of unaccounted for space between all of these dates so I’m going to wait before adding the game to the site in case this was all a big mistake. The latest capture that shows the download was available is from all the way back in October of 2017. The last capture from February 25th is missing any reference to the eShop version. While the thinking is that the game was delisted in a nefarious push to get consumers to buy the more expensive Switch port, shows it may have been removed a while ago. The game is still available to download from both Nintendo Europe and Japan. I did a quick check and, sure enough, the “Buy Digital” link has been removed… but only in North America. Leading up to the May 4th release of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze on the Switch, one redditor decided to revisit the original title on Wii U this week and found it was missing from the eShop.
