In addition, the Hammer from this game, as well as the tune that goes with it, is an item in all three Super Smash Bros. games. A section of Donkey Kong's Target Test in Super Smash Bros. Melee resembles the first level of the game. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a stage known as 75 m is based directly on the third level in the game. Also, in Brawl, in Mario's Down Taunt, Mario spins around and falls to the ground. Mario did something like this whenever he dies in Donkey Kong. In addition, DK's red costume may be a reference to his original sprite from this game. Donkey Kong also appears as a Masterpiece. It starts the player on the level 75 m takes place on.
