To date, four cast members have been revealed to be playable in Tropical Freeze: Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, Dixie Kong and, as Nintendo revealed at the recent VGX (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/07/spike-vgx-round-up-telltale-shares-new-projects-cranky-kong-n/) awards show, Cranky Kong. Funky Kong's appearance however, was unceremoniously dumped on Twitter (https://twitter.com/NintendoAmerica/status/413714101379272705/photo/1). "Get stoked! Funky Kong makes a radical return in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, coming to #WiiU on 2/21," it reads, making no mention of Funky's role.
Whether Funky is playable, or again appears as the owner of the game's item shop, Tropical Freeze still marks his first appearance in a game since 2008'sMario Super Sluggers.
