Combo listEdit

I'm new here, so I don't know is this is the correct way to say something. I like to talk about a certain error or misdescription that I found. In the origin description of the song "Mole Patrol", it says "This track is in fact "Lift-Off Launch" from Donkey Kong Country Returns, although the track does play on the "Mole Patrol" level.". So then, I listened the soundtrack of DKC Returns, and I notice that the song in SSB Ultimate is is fact Mole Patrol and not Lift-Off Launch, like the description says, because Lift-Off Launch has a verse that Mole Patrol don't have.

From what I hear both are the same tune, and it may just be a name difference. I haven't played DKC so I wouldn't completely know, but it's like a Stickerbrush Symphony/Bramble Blast kind of thing I think. SugarCookie 420 06:57, April 5, 2019 (EDT)
"Lift-Off Launch" it's in fact a longer version of "Mole Patrol" as around 1:20 of the latter song loops while around 1:15 of the first song a new section starts and does not loop until 1:44. Here is Lift-Off Launch and Mole Patrol at the same time mark. DoctaShield (talk) 22:50, November 9, 2021 (EST)
To be fair to both sides, you can not hear much of the song after the 1:20 in the level "Lift-Off Launch" as it is a Rocket Barrel level that is in a way timed. DoctaShield (talk) 00:03, November 12, 2021 (EST)
Ok, I have came back after realizing something. While I cannot confirm if "Lift-off Launch" and "Mole Patrol" are the same song via gameplay, (I am not dataminer) I found that both "Mole Patrol" and "Gear Getaway" are songs available in the Donkey Kong Country Returns Original Sound Track being track 14 and 20 respectively (the titles on the wiki are the japanese ones). Being that said, "Gear Getaway" is a shorter version of the track "Mine Menace" (name from the in-game Music Gallery) that plays first on level 2-3 "Peaceful Pier". It loops around 1:52 while level 7-4, "Gear Getaway", loops around 1:23. Previously I commented the differences between "Mole Patrol" and (for now, speculated) "Lift-off Launch" songs, now I can say that it should still be "Mole Patrol" as it first plays on level 4-4 while it later appears to play on 7-R "Lift-off Launch" which is an unique short (hence why I can't fact check if it is the extended version of the song or just plain "Mole Patrol") level that needs to be unlocked first from activating switches found in previous levels. If someone later on finds this "convincing" bible about a song, please make the changes if necessary (maybe even add something aroud "Gear Geataway") as I don't plan to change main articles unless is minor details.
