Frozen Frenzy is the seventh level ofDonkey Kong Island inDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switchport. This level is closely related to theFactory levels ofDonkey Kong Country Returns, but here it is covered in ice and parts of the factory in the background are destroyed due to the invasion of theSnowmads. This factory-themed level features many electric-based obstacles, such as electrical beams created byElectroids that deal damage if touched. Electroids form many other major obstacles in Frozen Frenzy. For example, the level contains moving platforms that travel over Electroids; circuits form when the platforms connect to the Electroids, therefore charging the platforms. The Electroids also shoot currents atvines that theKongs must climb, which sends a damaging current throughout the entire vine. The level is almost entirely covered in ice, which makes traction difficult, and some ice platforms also break moments afterDonkey Kong lands on them. Besides the Electroids, enemies in this level includePointy Tucks,Painguin Tucks, aPapa Painguin,Waldoughs,Walnuts,Hootzes, and aFish Poker Pops.
The music track for this level is a much slower arrangement of "Fear Factory" fromDonkey Kong Country.
InTime Attack mode, a time of 1:50.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 2:18.00 for silver, and a time of 2:48.00 for bronze.
Overview
The level starts out where frozen pipes and steel platforms are; it is the same starting area from the levelLift-off Launch fromDonkey Kong Country Returns. First, the player must re-activate the factory's system by pounding the golden platform three times, which will open the way to the next area. The player must avoid different Snowmad enemies, as well as Electroids and their emission all the way in the level. If a plug touches an Electroid, a platform or a vine with a plug under gets electrified. Near the end, an eyeball-like robot from the levelHandy Hazards fromDonkey Kong Country Returns that has stopped working can be seen in the background.

After the letter N, there are two balancing vines with Electroids underneath them. The player must climb on top of the platform holding the vines, then useCranky Kong'sCane Bounce to bound over the spiky platforms to the other side. Entering the portal there allows thesecret exit toDynamite Dash.
