Opening - Donkey Kong[edit]
Origin[edit]Returning from Brawl, a remix/medley of several pieces of music from Donkey Kong, starting off with the track that played during the opening in Donkey Kong on the NES (which also appeared in Donkey Kong Country, where Cranky Kong would play it on his music box). This is followed by the "Game Start" jingle, the 25m level music, and the music that played when Mario picked up the Hammer. This remix is based more upon the NES version of Donkey Kong's soundtrack, rather than the arcade version.
