The '''Corkscrew''' is an underwater special move in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|its Nintendo Switch port]]. The move can be executed by any of the playable characters and can be used to attack most submerged enemies, such as [[Finley]]s and [[Gordo]]s, or to collapse flimsy structures in order to reveal items. It can be performed in place or while [[swim]]ming, offering some momentum in the latter case. If [[Donkey Kong]] is alone, he can perform only one Corkscrew at a time, but if he is assisted by a partner (or if the game is played as [[Funky Kong]] in the [[Nintendo Switch]] port), he is able to do Corkscrews continuously, a move referred to as a '''Kong Corkscrew'''.<ref>{{cite|title=[https://www.nintendo.com/consumer/downloads/manual-WiiU-Donkey_Kong_Country_Tropical_Freeze.pdf ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' Wii U electronic manual]|page=12|publisher=nintendo.com|author=Nintendo|accessdate=September 9, 2020}}</ref>

The move is comparable to the land-based [[Roll Attack]] and marks the first time in the [[Donkey Kong Country (series)|''Donkey Kong Country'' series]] where the [[Kong]]s have the ability to attack enemies underwater without an [[Animal Friends|Animal Friend]]'s help.
