Donkey Kong Country: Fruit Frenzy

Donkey Kong Country: Fruit Frenzy is a 2.5D platformer for the Nintendo Switch. It is the sixth (seventh if Donkey Kong 64 is counted) entry in the Donkey Kong Country series.
==Gameplay==
The gameplay is much like that of the previous Donkey Kong Country games. Unlike the previous games, the player now has infinite lives. Like in the original trilogy, the player controls two Kongs in a tag-team system. Like in Funky Mode from the Switch port of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, each Kong has three hearts. When controlling two Kongs, the heart total adds up to six. When the Kong the player is controlling loses all of their hearts, control shifts to the other one. Each Kong has their own unique abilities, and many levels have areas that can only be accessed by a specific Kong. The weapons and instruments from Donkey Kong 64 make a return. Because of the lives system being removed, bananas now serve a different purpose; collecting 100 of them earns the player a Banana Coin. Collecting 100 bananas also allows a Kong to perform their Kong POW ability.
==Story==
===Opening===
The story begins on Donkey Kong Island, with the Kongs playing their instruments and eating bananas. Meanwhile on Crocodile Isle, two Kremlings enter the throne room and report to King K. Rool a new fruit that they discovered.
