==Jungle Level Ver.2==
===Origin===
The most commonly heard music track in is called "DK Island Swing", which played in levels with a jungle setting. This remix takes a jazzy, rock-based approach to the track.
===Composition & Arrangements===
Arrangement Supervisor: Motoi Sakuraba
Originally Composed by: David Wise, Rareware
Japanese title: JUNGLE LEVEL Ver.2
===Other Uses===
The second half of the track is also heard in the cutscene leading into The Jungle in the Subspace Emissary.
==Jungle Level==
===Origin===

===Composition & Arrangements===
Arrangement Supervisor: Kentaro Ishizaka 
Originally Composed by: David Wise, Rareware
Japanese title: JUNGLE LEVEL
===Other Uses===
This track is also heard in The Jungle and part of The Great Maze, levels in the Subspace Emissary. 
===Trivia===
*Counting Jungle Level Ver.2 as the third, this remix of Jungle Level is the fourth remix of the same track in Super Smash Bros. history. The Congo Jungle stage in Super Smash Bros. (which also returned in Super Smash Bros. Melee) had a remix of the Jungle Level theme, as did the Jungle Japes stage in Melee, which also returned for Brawl, music included.
==King K. Rool / Ship Deck 2==
===Origin===
The final boss theme heard in Donkey Kong Country, on the "Gang-Plank Galleon" level from which this track originally received its name from. In this stage, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong fought King K. Rool. The Brawl version starts as a sea shanty melody on accordion, then transitions into a hard rock tune.
===Composition & Arrangements===
Arrangement Supervisor: Shogo Sakai 
Originally Composed by: David Wise, Rareware
Japanese title: KING K.ROOL / SHIP DECK2
===Other Uses===
This track is played during the roll call when Classic or All-Star mode is completed with or . It is also played in The Lake level of the Subspace Emissary.
===Trivia===
*Although the track's name suggests that it incorporates two different pieces of music, it only remixes the "King K. Rool" boss theme that originally played on the "Gang-Plank Galleon" level in the first Donkey Kong Country. "Ship Deck 2" likely refers to the second variation on the deck level theme from its sequel, Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest, often known as "Snakey Chantey", which in itself begins with a remixed excerpt of the first game's King K. Rool boss theme. However, no elements of this Diddy's Kong Quest track exist in the Brawl track, and the game is not credited for its appearance either.
**This odd naming was kept for the track in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, despite Wii U renaming some Donkey Kong Country music from Brawl (e.g. "Bramble Blast" to "Stickerbush Symphony") and Ultimate referring to a new remix of the same piece of music as "Gang-Plank Galleon".
**"Snakey Chantey" would eventually get its own proper remix in Ultimate.
==Bramble Blast==
===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, Bramble Blast—which it is named after in this game. This version of this track uses different instruments, such as acoustic guitar, and feels more energetic than it did within Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. This version also removes some sections in lieu of some original additions instead.
