The move can only be performed whether the player controls either Cranky Kong alone or [[Donkey Kong]] partnered with Cranky. While in mid-air, Cranky can put his cane vertically underneath him and bounce off any kind of horizontal platform, gaining height, and eventually, speed. Cranky can protect himself or Donkey Kong from most spike-coated surfaces, since the cane also keeps a reasonable distance between the character(s) and the surface it bounces off. Likewise, Cranky can use his cane to bounce and defeat enemies; those that protect their top sides with thorns or tough helmets, such as [[Pointy Tuck]]s, [[Tuff Tuck]]s, and [[Tuffton]]s, and which cannot be normally [[stomp]]ed on, can be easily knocked out with at least one Cane Bounce.

Enemies and obstacles engulfed in fire, on the other hand, are invulnerable to Cane Bounces, and if the players make Cranky Kong perform this move on such trouble-makers, they get him harmed.

The Cane Bounce[1] is an action that can be performed by Cranky Kong in Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. It involves the use of Cranky's resistant cane, which he can use as an improvised spring or even as a weapon. The Cane Bounce acts similar to Scrooge McDuck's pogo stick bounce from the video game DuckTales.

The move can only be performed either as Cranky Kong alone or as Cranky partnered with Donkey Kong or Funky Kong. While in mid-air, Cranky can put his cane vertically underneath him and bounce off the ground to gain height. He can also build up speed if he bounces repeatedly while going in a direction. Cranky can safely bounce with his cane on spiked floor and, in many situations, traverse it to gain access to secrets. Likewise, Cranky can use the Cane Bounce to defeat enemies that cannot be defeated normally with a stomp, such as Pointy Tucks, Tuff Tucks, and Tufftons, which protect their top sides with thorns or tough helmets. Enemies and obstacles engulfed in fire, however, cannot be attacked with a Cane Bounce and inflict harm on Cranky Kong.

The Cane Bounce can be executed whenever the character is airborne, by:

  • pressing A Button or B Button when the player uses the primary or secondary controls of the Wii U GamePad;
  • pressing the Two Button when the player uses only the Wii Remote;
  • pressing the A Button when the player uses both the Wii Remote and the Nunchuk.
