"'''DK Island Swing''',"<ref name=DKJamz>''[[DK Jamz]]''</ref><ref name=NMusic>[[Nintendo Music]]</ref> also known as "'''Jungle Level'''"<ref>''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series Sound Tests</ref> or the "'''Donkey Kong Country Theme''',"<ref>''[[Donkey Konga: The Hottest Hits]]''</ref> is a recurring musical theme most commonly heard within the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]]. The theme was composed by [[David Wise]] and has since been synonymous with the franchise as well as [[Donkey Kong]] himself.

The theme consists of three distinct portions, beginning with a jungle ambiance and a drum beat, followed by the main, upbeat melody, and finally a calmer, slower-tempo melody before looping back to the beginning.

"DK Island Swing" is first heard in the first [[level]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', [[Jungle Hijinxs (Donkey Kong Country)|Jungle Hijinxs]], and is thereafter used as the theme for every jungle level in the game: [[Ropey Rampage]], [[Barrel Cannon Canyon]], and [[Orang-utan Gang]].

==Composition==
During ''Donkey Kong Country''{{'}}s development, David Wise was asked to write some demo pieces for a jungle level. He wrote three pieces, under the impression that they would be used just for the tech demo to be sent to [[Nintendo]] in Japan. After Wise presented them, he was told to combine them into one piece, which ultimately became the theme heard in the final game.<ref name=Marcato>{{cite|author=Super Marcato Bros.|language=en|date=January 9, 2014|url=youtu.be/Pmq-jmaN2KU?t=1560|title=Exclusive David Wise Interview 2013|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=July 5, 2024|timestamp=26:00}}</ref> 

In composing "DK Island Swing," Wise took influences from a variety of jungle-styled musical pieces and came up with an original theme, while maintaining the familiar elements that make it "sound like a jungle." The composition process took a long time, with Wise first coming up with a melody and working on it for days until he felt it worked for the level and "breathe[d] quite naturally."<ref name=Marcato/>

Though the original theme does not appear in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', the [[Bonus Area]] music for the game, titled "'''Token Tango'''," is a more upbeat arrangement of the middle portion of "DK Island Swing," and was also composed by David Wise. In addition, "Krook's March", the theme that plays in castle levels, contains a march-like arrangement of "DK Island Swing" towards the end.

====''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. Roolenstein]] flees from the [[Banana Queen]] at the end of the game, though only that initial section is heard.

====''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}}.

===''Donkey Kong Land'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Land''====
As ''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' is a [[Game Boy]] title based on ''Donkey Kong Country'', the jungle levels in the game ([[Jungle Jaunt]], [[Simian Swing]], [[Tire Trail]], and [[Congo Carnage]], all of which are located in the [[Gangplank Galleon Ahoy!|first world]] of the game) use a {{wp|chiptune}} arrangement of "'''DK Island Swing'''", with the introductory ambiance and third portion of the original cut out, and slight variations to the notes leading up to the main riff. 

This arrangement is also included in the [[Game Boy Color]] [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|remake]] of ''Donkey Kong Country'' in [[Jungle Hijinxs]], [[Ropey Rampage]], [[Barrel Cannon Canyon]], and [[Orang-utan Gang]].

===''Donkey Kong 64''===
An arrangement of "DK Island Swing" composed by Grant Kirkhope, titled simply "'''Jungle'''" in [[Donkey Kong 64 Official Soundtrack|the official soundtrack]], can be heard in the first area of ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]'', [[Jungle Japes]] as well as in secret areas. It uses the opening drum beat and main melody for the first half, while the second half includes variations of the main melody as well as an original melody.

A calmer version of this arrangement also plays past the cave in Jungle Japes, while a slower-tempo, marimba version of the main melody plays inside the cave itself. A horn-heavy, more sinister-sounding arrangement of the main melody also plays in the stormy area of Jungle Japes, a slower woodwind-heavy version plays in certain optional caves, as well as the ship floating around the lighthouse in [[Gloomy Galleon]], and a sped up brass ensemble version plays for the [[Army Dillo]] boss fight in that area.

Different arrangements of "DK Island Swing" are also used for the [[Kong]]s' transformations. A sped-up variation of the Jungle Japes arrangement plays during [[Donkey Kong]]'s [[Strong Kong]] form, a {{wp|rock music|rock}} arrangement for [[Diddy Kong]]'s [[Rocketbarrel Boost]], a light-hearted arrangement for [[Tiny Kong]]'s [[Mini-Monkey]] form, another sped-up arrangement for [[Lanky Kong]]'s [[OrangStand Sprint]], and a slow-paced, {{wp|contrabass}} saxophone arrangement for [[Chunky Kong]]'s [[Hunky Chunky]] form.

Donkey Kong also plays the main melody on his [[Bongo]]s.

===''Super Smash Bros.'' series===
====''Super Smash Bros.''====
Marking the full theme's first use outside of games centered on Donkey Kong, an arrangement of "DK Island Swing" titled 「'''コンゴジャングルステージ'''」(''Kongo Janguru Sutēji'', "Congo Jungle Stage") in the [[Nintendo All-Star! Dairantō Smash Brothers Original Soundtrack|official soundtrack]] appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' for the [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Congo Jungle]] stage, arranged by [[HAL Laboratory]] composer [[Hirokazu Ando]]. Unlike the ''Donkey Kong Country'' original, the first section of this arrangement lacks any jungle ambiance.

The arrangement returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' under the title "'''Kongo Jungle N64'''" for the [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Kongo Jungle]] stage. It also is included in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'', where it can be played on the [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]] stage, and in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', where it can be played on the Kongo Jungle 64 stage, now retitled simply "'''Kongo Jungle'''" in both games. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the arrangement is once again retitled, this time known as "'''Jungle Level <small>(64)</small>'''" and can be played on any ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''-series and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''-series stage. In ''for 3DS'' / ''Wii U'' and ''Ultimate'', the first portion of the arrangement is omitted.

A new arrangement of "DK Island Swing" arranged by Shogo Sakai from [[HAL Laboratory]], titled "'''Jungle Japes'''", is included in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' for [[Jungle Japes (stage)|the stage of the same name]]. This arrangement has a fast-paced big band swing style similar to the ''Donkey Kong 64'' arrangement "[[#Donkey Kong 64|Jungle]]", but it retains the slower-paced, atmospheric second half of the original "DK Island Swing." Additionally, the introduction has been shortened and leads straight to the main melody, and the final notes of the main melody have been extended.

This arrangement returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', now titled "'''Jungle Japes (Melee)'''", and can also be played on the [[Jungle Japes (stage)|Jungle Japes]] stage. The arrangement returns once again in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' and can be played on any ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]''-series and ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]''-series stage.

It also plays in [[The Jungle]] and parts of [[The Great Maze]] in the [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|Subspace Emissary]], though the first portion omitted.

A second arrangement titled "'''Jungle Level Ver. 2'''," arranged by [[Motoi Sakuraba]], can also be played in Rumble Falls. This arrangement is a much faster-paced version of "DK Island Swing."

Additionally, when [[Donkey Kong]] uses his [[Final Smash]], [[Konga Beat]], an arrangement of "DK Island Swing" can be heard with the final bar repeated. The Final Smash and the accompanying arrangement returns in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]] / [[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U|Wii U]]''.

Both "Jungle Level" and "Jungle Level Ver. 2" return in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U''====
''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' introduces two new arrangements of "DK Island Swing," both of which were arranged by [[Bandai Namco Entertainment|Bandai Namco]] composer Hiroyuki Kawada. The first arrangement, "'''Jungle Level Jazz Style'''," features jazz and ragtime music and omits the theme's third portion. This arrangement can be played on the [[Jungle Hijinxs (stage)|Jungle Hijinx]] stage.

The second arrangement, "'''Jungle Level Tribal Style'''," takes on a more jungle-styled approach similar to the ''Donkey Kong Country'' original and incorporates the entire theme. This arrangement can be played on the [[Kongo Jungle (Super Smash Bros.)|Kongo Jungle 64]] stage.

Both arrangements return in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', now titled "'''Jungle Level Jazz Style <small>(for 3DS / Wii U)</small>'''" and "'''Jungle Level Tribal Style <small>(for 3DS / Wii U)</small>'''", respectively.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis''====
In ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'', an arrangement of "DK Island Swing" plays in the levels of the final floor of the game, [[Jungle Hijinks]]. While the [[Mini Mario (toy)|Mini Mario]]s or [[Mini Donkey Kong]]s are inactive, only the jungle ambiance and drum beat play; after they begin to move, the music cuts to a later part of the theme, depending on which level the player is currently playing.  A slightly different variation of this arrangement plays in the custom levels of [[Special Kit 3]] in the [[Construction Zone]]. Both versions exclude the third portion of the original theme. 

The music that plays during the final boss fight with [[Donkey Kong]] on the [[Roof (Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis)|Roof]] and as well as the hidden floor [[DK's Hideout]] is another arrangement of the main melody of "DK Island Swing", which plays after an arrangement of the [[25m]] theme.

The Jungle Hijinks and Construction Zone arrangements return in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''. The former can be heard in the Normal Mode levels of [[Jungle Rumble]], while the latter can be heard in Rooms [[Room R-7|R-7]], [[Room R-8|R-8]] and [[Room R-9|R-9]].

====''Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!''====
The [[Jungle Hijinks]] [[#Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis|arrangement]] of "DK Island Swing" from ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis]]'' reappears with slight modifications in the first three levels of [[Jumpy Jungle (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!)|Jumpy Jungle]] in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''. 

There are also two additional arrangements based on the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2: March of the Minis'' version, one used in Areas [[Area 2-5|2-5]], [[Area 2-6|2-6]], and [[Area 2-7|2-7]], and the other in the multi-[[Goal Door (Mario vs. Donkey Kong series)|exit door]] levels: Areas [[Area 2-4|2-7]] and [[Area 2-7|2-7]]. Both use new melodies while retaining notes of the original theme, although the former uses the ''March of the Minis'' arrangement during its first half.

It was arranged by Satomi Terui.<ref>''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'' credits</ref> In the latter two games, unlike the other retro tracks, the music is the same as the original, although it was given a slight enhancement.

The arrangement is featured in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Original Soundtrack]]'' with the following linear notes in the included booklet: ''"This is an arrangement of the main Donkey Kong theme music. I hope you can experience the atmosphere of listening to a big band number. This course also has really nice scenery - we've basically remastered the course from Mario Kart 7. It's more fun than a barrel of monkeys!"''
