      Tell me about it. Not saying that the Tropical Freeze themes that they did include weren't good, but I was hoping they'd include this theme, Busted Bayou, Grassland Groove, and Lord Fredrik's theme.

      MovieMan1065 Well, that's too much music from 1 game (or at least 1 game that also was released in the same generation).
      But this theme at least (or better yet, a more action-packed rearrangement of it) should have been added to the soundtrack of the new Super Smash Bros!!!

    Throughout your entire adventure throughout the DK Archipelago, you encounter strange foes and places. And when you finally make it back to DK Island, your comforting home, it is coated with a thick sheet of ice and a sense of unfamiliarity. This is the final stretch of your journey. Don’t stop now.

Only to get to your home and see it frozen.. death-like.. infested with invaders.. You see former enemies defenselessly frozen.. It's time to take back your home. This theme reflects that perfectly.

      I agree 100%. For the Wii U version, they should have a stage based on Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The way I see it, it would be a seaside stage with DK's treehouse and the jungle in the background, but with a catch. The catch is that the Snowmads' flagship would occasionally sail over to the stage and the Snowmads would then deploy an ice dragon to cover the stage in ice and snow, like they did to DK Island at the start of Tropical Freeze. The stage would then be a slippery and icy stage similar to Icicle Mountain from SSBM and Summit from SSBB. After a while, the ice and snow will melt, and the cycle will repeat itself.

      NeoSalvation Well, David Wise never worked on the "original" Donkey Kong Country 3. He composed the music for the GBA version (which is WHY it is a much better soundtrack despite the good work by Eveline Fischer). In fact, I want Wise to work on Metroid... (because Kenji Yamamoto did the OST from Returns and the Metroid Prime Trilogy).

    you know, ruined dk island could make a good ninjala stage by flipping the gameplay from pure fighting to having to navigate the ruined areas with precarious jumps, using cannon barrels to move into the area you want or must go in order to survive, all while fighting your rivals and the snowmads and the eviroment all at once, with this masterpiece playing
    the story chapter could be that the snowmads defeat and freeze the dark ninja tribe and the space ninjas, and when they clash with the main cast and dk and his family, they get to blow them away while the arenas and countries get frosted to near destruction, ending on a frosted dk island just like tropical freeze: an all out war traveling from the jungle to the volcano dome, for a final battle with fredrik after reclaiming the countries and the battle arenas, and with their victory everything goes back to normal

    It truly is David's magnuopus a love letter to his 40+yrs of making DK songs all brought together with one instrument from every song to make a true homecoming melody like the beginning starts with a Somber version if the original DKC 1 first level theme then it quickly has a beat from jungle hyjinx and then aquatic ambiance and etc and then when it finally reaches it's climax adding in instruments from his songs in DK Freeze itself with a hint of David rendition of the DKCR final boss and secret temple beat adding in. It truly is a beautiful theme and my favorite of the whole soundtrack.
