Rool / Ship Deck 2 King K. Rool / Ship Deck 2 Track Title King K. Rool / Ship Deck 2 Universe Donkey Kong Debut Game Donkey Kong Country Stage of Usage Rumble Falls Availability Default Link [3] Origin The final boss theme heard in Donkey Kong Country, on the 'Gangplank Galleon' level from which this track originally received its name from.

'Snakey Chantey' was the name of the music on the 'Rattle Battle' stage of World 3 in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. The track Snakey Chantey in Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest began in the same theme as the Donkey Kong Country boss music, then looped into a variation of that theme. The same music is also used when battling King K. Rool. The version in Brawl is closer to the Donkey Kong Country boss music. Also, unlike in both Donkey Kong Country games, Brawl loops this music to the beginning.

The stage had a player moving through the bramble maze, trying not to touch the thorns of the brambles, known officially as stickerbushes. The Brawl version of this track uses different instruments, such as strings, and feels less stressful like it did within Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest but more joyful.
