So they're finally here, performing for you

D. K.! Donkey Kong!
 

  • He's the leader of the bunch. You know him well.

He's finally back to kick some tail!
[Break: 2 Measures, Monkey Yells](1)
His coconut gun can fire in spurts
If he shoots ya, [Monkey Yell] it's gonna hurt! (2)
He's bigger! faster! and stronger too!
He's the first member of the DK crew!
D. K.! Donkey Kong! HEY!
D. K.! Donkey Kong is here!

[Break: 1 Measure]
This Kong's got style, so listen up dudes!
She shrinks in size to suit her mood!
[Break: 2 Measures]
She's quick n' nimble when she needs to be
She floats in air and climbs up trees!
[Break: 2 Measures]
If you choose her, you won't choose wrong
With a skip and a hop, she's ONE COOL KONG!
[Break: 2 Measures]
D. K.! Donkey Kong!
[Break: 4 Measures]
 
He has no style, he has no grace
This Kong...has a funny face
He can handstand when he wants to
And stretch his arms out just for you!
[Break: 1 Measure]
In-flate himself just like a balloon
This cra-zy Kong just digs this tune! HEY!
D. K.! (D. K.!) Donkey Kong!
D. K.! (D. K.!) Donkey Kong is here!

[Break: 2 Measures]
He's back again, and about time, too
And this time, he's in the mood!
[Break: 2 Measures]
He can fly real high
with his jetpack on...
With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong!
He can make you smile when you hear his tune...
[Break: 1 Measure]
But, Kremlings beware
'cause he's out after you!
D. K.! Donkey Kong!
D. K.! Donkey Kong!
(fading)
D. K.! Donkey Kong!
D. K....
 
Fi-nal-ly, he's here for you!
It's the LAST member of the D. K. crew!
This Kong's...so strong, it isn't funny!
Can make a Kremling cry out for Mummy!
[Break: 2 Measures]
He can pick up a boulder with relative ease
Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze
He may move slow; he can't jump high
But this Kong's one heck of a guy! Hehehe...

[Break: 2 Measures]
Come on Cranky!
Take it to the stage!
 

    • Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells!

Other music tracks

Unlocking Method

Alternate songs can only be unlocked when the player has unlocked certain number of characters (Tracks #30, #32, #34, #35, #36, and #37 are unlocked after all characters are unlocked while tracks #31, and #33 are unlocked after Marth, and Young Link are unlocked). Track #55 only plays when the Sound Test is unlocked.

Trivia

  • A part of the opening for Super Smash Bros. Melee has been derived from the song "Butter Building" from the Kirby game Kirby's Adventure. Also, the opening notes of the main theme bear a resemblance to the credits music from the original Star Fox.
