Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze |OT| Donkey's Got a Brand New Funk

Trying to get something avatar worthy going that's different from the previous Skowlvatar
Probably been asked a million times already, but is there any way to unlock Funky Kong in Normal Mode, or any way to make Funky Mode play like Normal Mode?
If you complete the game in Funky mode you can play it again but in hard mode.
No other way to play as Funky as far as I know.

For Returns, I played every stage for the first time getting all the letters and trying to find as many puzzle pieces as I could, and then after beating the boss visited every level again with squawks for the rest of the pieces. I imagine I'll do the same with TF
Another poster above me already mentioned it but it was also pointed out in the recent Did You Know Gaming video about the DKC series:
Bland music?!?! What?? No.
The remix of the Jungle Hijinks is amazing and the best remake of that track to date!! I wish it featured outside a K level
What about THE autumn height?
Or one of those owl shaped totems from Rodent Ruckus:

just put mine in for the first time (EU), it was 1.0.1 without any update available
Thanks.
Do you know what Switch firmware update is on the cart? Is it v5.0.0?
Man, they really fucking dropped the ball for anyone that owns the Wii U release, unless the ability to play in handheld mode is a big plus for you (I personally only play in docked).
This world man
When we start bringing the environment and other enemies in, whew, I'm spoilt for choice.

At 6-4 now and the game doesn't feel all that hard honestly. I think after cuphead and Celeste bashing me around I've just grown as a platform player. I mean I've died plenty but nothing that felt even hard just me not hitting a jump or not paying attention. Not hard from a game design stand point at least.
Sounds like he meant the bonus rooms for puzzle pieces rather than the K levels.
....what?
I don't get how anyone could think the music in this game is just decent.
It's inspired, emotional, full of life, it evolves and changes as you progress, uses numerous different types of instruments and styles, it has a wonderful atmosphere, and I could go on.
Jelly Jamboree has to be one of my favorite stages in the game. The bouncing platforms are just so fun.
World 5 in general is just fantastic.

Traded in Kirby and MHW and picked it up. Worth every penny, feels so good. I mean I enjoyed Kirby but DKTP is just on another level. Had the game on Wii U but traded it in before I beat it since I was sort of done with the Wii U at that point. I'll probably do a normal run and then a funky run. Also flipped the cover so I can be funky.
I honestly don't think the music is anything special in this game either. Certainly not on the level of the earlier DKC games. It just all feels rather.... lifeless to me. To be fair, there are some stand out arrangements, but the overall quality is just.... ok like they said.
I'm at a loss for words here.....I don't get it.
And you like the original DKC music so now what you're saying just sounds inconsistent to me.
Lifeless?
But you do you.
This is quickly becoming one of my favourite games... maybe ever! I just have a couple nitpicks here and there but the game itself is just too good, so much attention to detail and little moments of interactive glory that make me remember why I love videogames as an art form so much.
I feel like that's just the nostalgia talking honestly. The tracks in these games are just as good as the old ones. At least better than DKC 3's soundtrack.
Crazy talk to me. Grassland grove is an Audio/visual experience unlike any other I've ever seen in a game. Pure art.
Ok maybe lifeless was the wrong word, I guess generic would be more apt. It's just the overall quality of the soundtrack was rather underwhelming to me after all of the hype for it going around, I even find myself enjoying some of the rearrangements of the older themes less than the originals. I am just starting World 4, so maybe my opinion of the overall soundtrack will change by the end and after replaying levels for 100/200%.
A man can't fully judge Tropical Freeze's soundtrack until they reach 6-2.
Tropical Freeze is probably David Wise's best soundtrack ever, possibly better than DKC 2. What's he known for? Atmospheric ambiances with diatonic harmonies, delayed melodies and the use of many instruments and samples to show a variety of moods. TF's soundtrack's got all of that in spades.
Maybe the poster is a woman. Every stop to think about that?! No, you only think about yourself.
You probably can't. If your Switch is up to v5.0.1 then the cart won't need to update your Switch firmware as it's already on the latest.
actually you don't have to time it. after you bounced off an enemy release the jump button and press + hold it again. done
This game has the best soundtrack of all time imo. I love the Rare trilogy (I like it a bit more than the new games because it's theme was pretty dark) but this music is absolutely amazing. Every piece of this OST is a masterpiece.
Just finished getting 100% in Original Mode! *phew*
That was quite the step up from Funky mode! I had already done 100% back in the Wii U release, but quite a few of the levels still provide a tough challenge even today.
Once you nail a level in Tropical Freeze you feel like a master of the game, I had to remember to save a couple 30 second runs just when I get in the groove of things. Just had an all around amazing time with these levels.

Yeah, it's available once you finish all the K levels, and the secret world that comes after it.
I don't like the checkpoint pig. Spoils the atmosphere.
And yes I'm aware this is a cartoony game with furry creatures.
One of my few complaints.

Huh? Their gender is in their profile.
Whoosh? I don't get it if so.
It was just a dumb joke.
I believe it may be a meme of sorts as well.
Someone please explain to me why this game is so fucking good. How is it possible that the level design is this tight? The mind boggles.
I now feel like a sinner for not playing it on Wii U more.

What does Hard Mode look like in Funky Mode, just the same as classic... Only you can use Funky?
Ah ok. I'm old and out of touch with you kids and your memes
