'''Mangrove Cove''' is the very first level of ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port of the same name]], appearing in the [[Lost Mangroves]] world.

In [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze#Time Attack|Time Attack]] mode, a time of 1:50.00 is required to get a gold medal, a time of 2:10.00 for silver, and a time of 2:30.00 for bronze.

The level starts similarly to [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle Hijinxs]] from ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]''. At the very start, [[Donkey Kong]] lands into a broken plane in a tree, after being blown away from [[Donkey Kong Island]] by the [[Snowmads]]. The player must repeatedly smash the {{button|wiiu|X}} and {{button|wiiu|Y}} buttons. By doing so, the front of the plane breaks off and lands on the ground. Donkey Kong breaks out from the cockpit door and then pounds his chest. Like [[DK's Tree House]] from the previous game, Donkey Kong can optionally go back into the plane, which has a [[Red Balloon]] and some TV's, which he can [[Ground Pound]] at for the ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' logo to display.

By continuing into the level, Donkey Kong first travels down a slope in a stream of water and into a lake, introducing the ability to swim in the game. At the bottom, the lake has mangrove roots and some [[Air Bubble]]s coming from a small pipe on a scuba helmet. Donkey Kong encounters a [[Blue Finley]] near the end of the lake. After jumping out of the lake, Donkey Kong goes through a beach area with [[Dozy|Dozies]], and [[Punchy Paddy|Punchy Paddies]]. He jumps from some mangrove platforms and onto some large breakable rock platforms, where [[Professor Chops]] shows the controls for pounding. If Donkey Kong defeats the Punchy Paddy and pounds the rock platform beneath it, he falls into a small, hidden area with several [[Banana Bunch]]es. The following area is beneath a shaded area beneath the trees with a [[Venus Trap Platform]] and more Dozies. By continuing, Donkey Kong continues to an [[Item Handle]], and Professor Chops shows the buttons for pulling it. By pulling it, Donkey Kong breaks a thick, red vine entangling a metal platform, which drops for him to jump on. Donkey Kong pulls another Item Handle on the platform, which drops another metal platform. He goes down a wooden slope to the [[checkpoint]].

Right after the checkpoint, Donkey Kong must pull an Item Handle to open a path into an interior area made of steel. Donkey Kong encounters another Venus Trap Platform, which he can jump from to land on a platform with an [[Item Container]] and a [[DD Barrel]]. Alternatively, Donkey Kong can ground pound a stone platform beneath the Venus Trap Platform to go down a hidden area with Banana Bunches, which also leads to the DD Barrel. With Diddy, Donkey Kong must jump from a few platforms to cross a gap with large, spiked, maroon vines on the ground beneath. After this section, the [[Kong]]s find an Item Container with a [[heart]] and jump below into the body of water, which leads out the interior area. In the following area, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong encounter a few [[Wild Wendell]]s. They continue by jumping from a [[Spring Platform]] (which has an Item Container with a [[Red Balloon]]). By pounding the platform, the Kongs can reach a swinging platform with a heart, a few [[banana]]s, and two [[Banana Coin]]s beneath it. The Spring Platform on the right boosts Donkey Kong and Diddy onto a mangrove platform with a Wild Wendell. They pass by two Dozies and a Sour Dodo and find another Item Handle. By pulling it, a massive mangrove tree grows out from the ground. Two mangrove platforms grow at the bottom of the tree, and a [[Barrel Cannon]] appears at the top-right for the Kongs to jump into.

The Kongs blast around a large tree through many Barrel Cannons and [[Blast Barrel]]s. When they reach the Blast Barrel near the very top, it blasts them far off into the trees. They bounce from a few treetops and land onto the mast of a Snowmad ship, which rocks back and forth for a moment. The Kongs pass another checkpoint, and with Diddy's [[Barrel Jet]], they hover across some red-purple vines on the ground. A Snowmad ship crashes into the shore and some [[Tucks]] jump off. The Kongs pass another Venus Trap Platform and continue to an area with many breakable crates and a [[Fluff (enemy)|Fluff]]. Afterward, the Kongs go to a wooden bridge with a large crate, which a [[Waldough]] instantly breaks out of. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong must jump from two swinging platforms, each hovering over a gap with spikes on the ground. A small, wooden boardwalk is centered between the platforms and gaps. The Kongs continue and find another DD Barrel at the end of a bridge. When they approach a small bridge, five 10-count Banana Bunches appear above. There are two Fluffs, each on the left and right, and a Tucks above the Kongs. By continuing the right, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong go down a tree trunk slope and must repeatedly pound a gold platform with a DK emblem. Two Blast Barrels appear and blast the Kongs to the edge of a Snowmad ship. The ship flips over into the sand, and the three Tucks fall into the water. The [[Slot Machine Barrel]] also falls out the ship, floating in midair for the Kongs to hit.

#Behind the red-blue metal chunk, found soon after jumping into the water.
#Found after jumping onto the high treetop from the swinging platform and pounding next to the [[Container|Plump Yellow Fruit]]
#After opening the two platforms, the player must grab the flying banana which will turn into a puzzle piece.
#In an area revealed by pounding right under the first [[Venus Trap Platform]] in the metal-like area.
#After getting Diddy Kong, the player can go back and jump on top of the previously mentioned Venus Trap Platform and get the piece which is on a platform above it.
#Spinning in the air, the player must time their shot from a Barrel Cannon correctly to get it.
#Upon pounding on the crate after the second platform in the beach area with the pirate ship, there will be a secret underground area where five Professor Chops will toss the Kongs multiple bananas. If they collect all of them, a Puzzle Piece appears afterwards.
#Shooting through the barrel above the swinging platforms will reveal a secret area containing a large amount of bananas to collect in 30 seconds, after which the Kongs will get the Puzzle Piece.
