====''Donkey Kong Country 3''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'', the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', a frantic arrangement of "DK Island Swing", titled "'''Chase'''," can be heard in the level [[Stampede Sprint]] when [[Ellie the Elephant|Ellie]] is scared by some [[Sneek]]s and runs away at high speed shortly into the level, lasting until the [[Blast Barrel]] near the end shoots her to the [[Level Flag]]. The same arrangement can be heard when [[King K. Rool#Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!|Baron K.

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====
''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' features three full arrangements of "DK Island Swing." The first, titled "'''Jungle Hijinxs'''," is an arrangement of the entire theme, except the third portion's tempo is sped up to match that of the rest of the theme. It plays in the first and third levels of the game, [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Jungle Hijinxs]] and [[Tree Top Bop]], respectively, as well as in the game's E3 2010 trailer. This arrangement returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', where it can be played on the [[Jungle Hijinxs (stage)|Jungle Hijinxs]], and ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can be played on any ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''-series or ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''-series stage, though the intro is cut off. An excerpt of this arrangement also plays in level 1 of the [[Donkey Kong Country Returns (microgame)|Donkey Kong Country Returns]] microgame in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' This arrangement is used in ''[[Tetris 99]]'' for the ''Donkey Kong Country Returns HD'' theme while more than 50 players are active.

The second arrangement, titled "'''King of Cling'''," is an arrangement exclusively of the third portion of "DK Island Swing," using a flute as its main instrument. It plays in the second and fifth levels of the game, [[King of Cling]] and [[Canopy Cannons]], respectively, and later in the [[Forest (Donkey Kong Country Returns)|Forest]] levels [[Clingy Swingy]] and [[Springy Spores]]. In ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', the jungle level in the [[Cloud (world)|Cloud]] world, [[Crushin' Columns]], uses "King of Cling" for its music.

The third arrangement, titled "'''Palm Tree Groove'''," is a cool jazz-styled rendition of the main melody that plays in two of the game's silhouette levels, [[Sunset Shore]] and [[Foggy Fumes]]. However, the music that plays in the third silhouette level, [[Smokey Peak]], is a slightly different version, replacing the piano with an electric organ and incorporating a male chorus throughout the duration of the track as well as an electric organ solo straight after the main melody.

In addition to the three full arrangements of "DK Island Swing", there are also three themes that incorporate "DK Island Swing" into their arrangements. The credits theme, 「エンディングスタッフロール」 (''Endingu Staffu Rōru'', "Ending Staff Roll"),<ref name="DKCR Soundtrack">{{cite|url=vgmdb.net/album/26314|title=DONKEY KONG RETURNS ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK|publisher=VGMdb|language=en|accessdate=June 29, 2023}}</ref> includes an arrangement of ''DK Island Swing''{{'}}s main {{wp|Motif (music)|motif}}. The motif can also be heard at the end of the ending cutscene's music, and its first four notes of "DK Island Swing" can be heard in the music for the [[Golden Temple]] entrance, which cannot be heard again after entering the main level.

All arrangements are reused for the same purposes in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] port, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]'', and the [[Nintendo Switch]] port, ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD]]''.

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
David Wise returned to compose the soundtrack for ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' 20 years after he composed the original "DK Island Swing", which features several arrangements of the theme. There are two full arrangements of "DK Island Swing" included in the game, as well as being included as a part of two other tracks.

The first arrangement is based on the third portion of "DK Island Swing" and plays in [[Swinger Flinger]], [[Precarious Pendulums]], and [[Platform Problems]].

The second arrangement is a {{wp|jazz}} rendition of the entire theme, with the third portion's tempo matching the rest of the theme (similar to the ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' arrangement "[[#Donkey Kong Country Returns|Jungle Hijinxs]]"). This arrangement plays in every other temple level: [[Bopopolis]], [[Spinning Spines]], and [[Slippy Spikes]], as well as in the game's E3 2013 trailer. This arrangement is also included in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', where it can be played on the [[Jungle Hijinxs (stage)|Jungle Hijinxs]] stage, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', where it can be played on any ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''-series and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''-series stage. Despite not playing in Swinger Flinger in ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'', the arrangement is titled "Swinger Flinger" in the English version of both ''Super Smash Bros.'' games.

Additionally, the motif of "DK Island Swing" is incorporated into the game's credits theme. The scene after the credits where [[Donkey Kong]] obtains the seventh [[mysterious relic]] plays another arrangement of "DK Island Swing"'s first two bars to end on an {{wp|A major}} {{wp|Triad (music)|triad}}.
