Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Banana Mania Contest

A week after a mysterious crate was discovered deep in the Canadian wilderness, information about its contents are finally being released. Examined in a secure facility near Whistler, BC, television personality Ajay Fry and Donkey Kong himself have revealed what the crate contained – an ice block full of bananas!

The discovered bananas are part of Nintendo of Canada’s national contest to have Canadians guess the number of bananas frozen inside the massive block of ice. Prizes include a grand prize of a four-day adventure trip for four to Whistler Blackcomb and a Wii U Donkey Kong Prize Pack that includes a Wii U Deluxe Set, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze game, Wii Remote Plus controller, and Nunchuk controller (retail value: $9,740). Five runners-up will also win a Wii U Donkey Kong Prize Pack that includes a Wii U Deluxe Set, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze game, Wii Remote Plus controller, and Nunchuk controller (retail value: $410).

The contest opened February 7th and runs until February 20th. Potential winners will be contacted on February 21st, when Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is released. Donkey Kong fans can take a closer look with a 360-degree view of the ice block on Nintendo of Canada’s Facebook page, where they can also enter the contest.
