This version is the merger of the two Wii version and 3DS version and features eight new Cloud levels that were additionally exclusive to the 3DS version. There are two modes to play which are Original and Modern, the former is the classic and the latter has additional hearts and additional ‘items’, which make the challenge easier, but they’re available in both modes and two player local co-op can be used throughout.
The free add-on, which was released in January 2026, introduces playable characters like Dixie Kong, a new Turbo Attack time trial mode, and Nintendo Switch 2 improvements like increased resolution and quicker load times.
