The Snowmads, a tribe of arctic invaders led by Lord Fredrik, have existed in the icy regions for generations, plotting their conquest of the DK Isles.
The Snowmads launch a sudden invasion to reclaim the DK Isles, freezing the island and forcing Donkey Kong and his friends to defend their home.
Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong, and Cranky Kong unite to repel the Snowmad invasion and save their homeland.
The Kong team journeys through various frozen regions of the island, fighting Snowmad minions and bosses to reclaim their territory.
Donkey Kong confronts and defeats Lord Fredrik atop the Frozen Glacier, ending the Snowmad invasion and restoring peace to the DK Isles.
