Comentário
King of a tribe of penguins known as the Snomads, Lord Fredrik attempted to claim Donkey Kong Island for his people, using his enchanted war horn to freeze over the entire island, and the winds blow the Kongs all the way to the Lost Mangroves. It was even on Donkey Kong’s birthday! Now the Kongs must find their way back to Donkey Kong Island and reclaim their home.
