===Origin===
This track from the original ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' is a remix of "DK Island Swing", referred to in ''Ultimate'' by its Japanese title, "Jungle Level". In ''Donkey Kong Country'', "DK Island Swing" served as somewhat of a main theme, as it played in many levels, particularly those with a sunset jungle theme. As with ''SSB4'', the song has been abridged from its original version, trimming off the first 18 seconds. It is otherwise faithful to the original track, adapted to the Nintendo 64's sound hardware.

This is a frantic, jazzy remix of the "DK Island Swing" track from ''Donkey Kong Country'', returning from ''Brawl''. It was previously titled '''"Jungle Level Ver. 2"''' as there was another arrangement of "{{SSBBMusicLink|Donkey Kong|Jungle Level}}" in ''Brawl'', but that version is not included in ''Ultimate''. The song varies widely in styles: it starts out with the original's percussion, becomes a fast-paced progressive rock track, then becomes a sweeping orchestral score before transitioning back into the previous progressive rock approach.

Origin

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. To emulate this style, it primarily features synths but also incorporates piano and electric guitar.

Origin

This track from the original Super Smash Bros. is a remix of "DK Island Swing", referred to in Ultimate by its Japanese title, "Jungle Level". In Donkey Kong Country, "DK Island Swing" served as somewhat of a main theme, as it played in many levels, particularly those with a sunset jungle theme. As with SSB4, the song has been abridged from its original version, slightly shortening the heavy drum beat in the opening. It is otherwise faithful to the original track, adapted to the Nintendo 64's sound hardware.

This is a frantic, jazzy remix of the "DK Island Swing" track from Donkey Kong Country, returning from Brawl. It was previously titled "Jungle Level Ver. 2" as there was another arrangement of "Jungle Level" in Brawl, but that version is not included in Ultimate. The song varies widely in styles: it starts out with the original's percussion, becomes a fast-paced progressive rock track, then becomes a sweeping orchestral score before transitioning back into the previous progressive rock approach. This version of the track is abridged, with the opening being slightly shortened.

He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well

His coconut gun can fire in spurts

Donkey Kong is here

This Kong's got style, so listen up dudes

She can shrink in size, to suit her mood

She's quick and nimble when she needs to be

She can float through the air and climb up trees

If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong

With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong

DK

Donkey Kong

He's back again and about time too

And this time he's in the mood

He can fly real high with his jetpack on

With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong

He'll make you smile when he plays his tune

But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you
