The creature proceeds to blow the [[Kong]]s ([[Donkey Kong]], [[Diddy Kong]], [[Dixie Kong]], [[Cranky Kong]], and [[Funky Kong]]) away from the island, allowing Lord Fredrik's command ship to station itself on top of the island's [[Volcano]]. The Snowmads then seize the island and throw it into a state of perpetual winter, forcing the Kongs to take it back from them. | ||
Throughout the course of the game, their main base is [[Donkey Kong Island]], though, they have invaded every island that the Kongs arrive on. When the Kongs finally make it back home, they make their way to the Volcano, where the command ship is stationed. When they reach Lord Fredrik's quarters, they confront him and [[Volcano Dome|a final showdown]] for the fate of the island ensues. When Fredrik is defeated, he is blasted out of the Volcano, destroying his command ship in the process, and crashes into the sea where the remainder of the Snowmads' ships are stationed, ending their reign over the island. | Throughout the course of the game, their main base is [[Donkey Kong Island]], though, they have invaded every island that the Kongs arrive on.
