It also played in the "Items" section of the August 2018Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct, while the "Bonus Room Blitz" portion specifically plays inDiddy Kong's fighter showcase video. This arrangement was arranged by Hiroshi Yamaguchi, with Naofumi Harada performing on guitar. Yamaguchi chose to arrange these tracks not only because of his memories of playingDonkey Kong Country with his sister when he was in junior high school, but also to attempt a new genre of music that he would not normally be able to work on atPlatinumGames.[4]
