The Corkscrew is an underwater special move in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and 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 Finleys and Gordos, or to collapse flimsy structures in order to reveal items. It can be performed in place or while swimming, 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.[1]
