+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>
-'''Corkscrew''' is a special move in ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]''. When underwater, any of the playable characters can execute this move. The Corkscrew can usually be used as an attack method on most submerged foes, such as [[Finley]]s, but it can sometimes serve other needs, such as that of breaking less durable structures in order to uncover goodies. A Corkscrew attack consists of a swift spin move, which reminds of an actual corkscrew's spiraled form. If the player controls a single [[Kong]] and performs the Corkscrew, the latter will confer him or her a short boost of speed underwater. However, if the Kong is assisted by a partner, the Corkscew can be used continuously, speeding up locomotion when swimming. Players can gain impulse when leaping out of the water if they do the Corkscrew move right under the surface, while facing their character upwards. This way, it is possible to take by surprise and attack land-based enemies from the bottom.
-The Corkscrew is reminiscent of [[Enguarde the Swordfish|Enguarde's]] pointy bill attack from the past ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' games, inasmuch it represented the only method of underwater combat in the said games.
+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.
 The Corkscrew move can be executed by:
-*pressing {{button|X}} or {{button|Y}}, when the player uses the primary controls of the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]];
+*pressing {{button|wiiu|X}} or {{button|wiiu|Y}}, when the player uses the primary controls of the [[Wii U#Wii U GamePad|Wii U GamePad]] and [[Nintendo Switch#Joy-Con|Joy-Con]];
