Haha! Surprise, suckers! Who loves Donkey Kong? Who’s excited for Tropical Freeze in a few weeks? Me, that’s who! In honour of said game, I’ve retranslated this weirdo little comic, one of the few to prominently feature the Kongs. It starts with a similar premise of unnatural cold, but quickly veers off the deep end with a trip to Washington and then to outer space. Add this to the list of Kong space-travels, along with Jungle Climber, Barrel Blast, and… sigh, Jungle Beat. Also the whole moon-punching thing from Returns.

Anyways, this comic is a good one, and I’ve tried to do it justice. There’s a metric barrel-load of text squeezed into those little bubbles, but I couldn’t bear to cut any. I tried to spice it up where I could, while staying as true as I could to the original. For instance, there’s a few very deep German cultural references, which I’ve kept intact and tried to explain with annotations.

So enjoy this comic, and let it get you in the mood for Tropical Freeze! We even have Diddy, Dixie, and Cranky tagging along here, just like in the game! Unlike the game, however, Kiddy Kong is also here. We still love you Kiddy!

Special mention to Twilight Vestige, who ages ago translated this comic for the DKvine forums. I thought it deserved a high-quality scanlation though, no offence Twi! She just got the drop on me by a few years. And thanks for the likes!
