Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

A side-scrolling platformer featuring Donkey Kong and his companions as they attempt to reclaim their island from Viking-themed invaders known as the Snowmads.

An experimental unofficial Mac port via NxNative has upstream-reported Mac testing. Testing covered the boot sequence, title menus, character and mode selection, the four and a half minute intro cinematic, and the first level, Mangrove Cove. Specific gameplay actions verified include running, jumping, swimming, sliding, and death/restart loops. Testing is limited to the start of the first world. The full game, world map, boss battles, and movie playback via the movie library are untested. Performance on iPhone and the effectiveness of pipeline prewarming are currently unverified. Requires Apple silicon and macOS 26.6 or later. Not an official Mac release.
