InSuper Smash Bros. Brawl, a medley of "Simian Segue" and "Bonus Room Blitz", titled after their Japanese soundtrack names, "The Map Page / Bonus Level", can play in theRumble Falls stage. It reappears inSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, where it can play in anySuper Smash Bros.-series andDonkey Kong-series stage. It also plays in the DK Island map in World of Light, which is a recreation ofKongo Jungle fromDonkey Kong Country.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate also contains a big-band medley arrangement of "Simian Segue" and "Bonus Room Blitz", titled after the two themes' Japanese names, "The Map Page / Bonus Level", can play in anySuper Smash Bros.-series andDonkey Kong-series stage. It also played in the "Items" section of the August 2018Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct. 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]
