Mini Review: Turnip Mountain (Switch) – A King Of Swing-Style Climbing Puzzler With Charm & Challenge

Nintendo Life · 5 hours ago

Turnip Mountain is a short but demanding Switch climbing puzzler that draws clear inspiration from Donkey Kong: King of Swing. The reviewer finds its unusual control scheme initially fiddly and frustrating, but ultimately rewarding, with physics-based movement and escalating puzzles creating a strong sense of achievement.

Players guide a turnip that grows arms to climb towards the stars, using separate triggers and sticks to grip, move and launch itself with momentum. The game includes collectibles, cosmetic hats and colour filters, plus a chaotic local co-operative mode in which two players each control one arm; its Game Boy-style visuals and music suit handheld play, though the reviewer recommends a Pro Controller and larger screen for comfort.

  • A charming, difficult climbing puzzler inspired by King of Swing.
  • Unusual controls reward practice and perseverance.
  • Short adventure with collectibles and chaotic local co-op.
