Nintendo is marking the arrival of a new chapter in the Donkey Kong Country series with a celebration that invites fans across Canada and the United States to join the fun. To welcome DONKEY KONG COUNTRY: TROPICAL FREEZE, the developers are hosting a playful contest built around an ice block filled with bananas. Participants are asked to guess how many bananas are frozen inside, turning a simple number game into a shared moment of excitement for the upcoming adventure. The setup invites players to imagine the moment the ice cracks and Donkey Kong emerges, sparking conversations about character moves, level design, and the feel of the new game world. It’s more than a guess; it’s a chance to engage with the game’s tropical vibe, meet fellow fans, and celebrate Nintendo’s tradition of spirited fan challenges. The promotion keeps the conversation buzzing on social media, giving players something tangible to discuss while the release date approaches. Nintendo of Canada and Nintendo of America support the effort, making participation easy from home, a friend’s place, or on the go.
The grand prize includes a four-day trip to Whistler Blackcomb in British Columbia and a DONKEY KONG COUNTRY: TROPICAL FREEZE prize pack that features the game, a Wii U Deluxe Set System, and a Wii Remote Plus with Nunchuk controller. The five runners-up will also receive a prize pack that includes the Wii U Deluxe Set, DONKEY KONG COUNTRY: TROPICAL FREEZE game, Wii Remote Plus and Nunchuk controller. This is a full entertainment bundle designed to appeal to fans who want a complete setup to enjoy the new title at home or on the go, with a focus on Nintendo hardware that has defined living room experiences for years.
To enter the contest, go to Nintendo of Canada’s Facebook page to get a 360-degree look of the ice block and then enter your estimate of the number of bananas frozen inside.
