Origin

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), then the soundbyte that played buring the 'Game Start', the 25m level music and the music that played when Jumpman picked up and started flailing the Hammer. All of these parts of the track are based more upon the NES version of Donkey Kong's soundtrack, rather than the arcade version.

Stickerbush Symphony

Track title	Stickerbush Symphony

Debut game	Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest
Link	[21]

Origin

This track is a remix of 'Stickerbush Symphony' from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. This played on each of the bramble-based stages in the game, including the first stage it appeared on called 'Bramble Blast'. 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.
