''[[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!]]''

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.

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.

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.
