"'''Gang-Plank Galleon'''",<ref name=DKJamz>''[[DK Jamz]]'' tracklist</ref><ref>[[Nintendo Music]]</ref> also referred to as "'''THE PIRATE SHIP'''",<ref name=JungleFantasy>''[[Super Donkey Kong Game Music CD Jungle Fantasy]]'' tracklist</ref> is a recurring musical theme in the [[Donkey Kong (franchise)|''Donkey Kong'' franchise]] composed by [[David Wise]]. It is almost always associated with [[King K. Rool]], as well as the eponymous [[Gangplank Galleon]]. The theme first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', playing in the [[Gang-Plank Galleon|final level of the same name]].
'''"Gang-Plank Galleon"''' (titled '''"The Pirate Ship"''' in Japanese soundtracks<ref>[https://vgmdb.net/album/153 SUPER DONKEY KONG ORIGINAL SOUND VERSION]. ''VGMdb''. Retrieved November 7, 2021.</ref><ref>[https://vgmdb.net/album/149 Super Donkey Kong Game Music CD Jungle Fantasy]. ''VGMdb''. Retrieved November 7, 2021.</ref>) is a recurring musical theme in the ''[[Donkey Kong (franchise)|Donkey Kong]]'' franchise. The theme was composed by [[David Wise]] and relates to [[King K. Rool]], as well as the eponymous [[Gangplank Galleon]]. The theme has a sea-chanty feel, representing the pirate-esque personality K. Rool has. The theme first appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' and plays on the [[Gang-Plank Galleon|final level of the same name.]] The theme is loosely based on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] port of the title theme from ''[[Wikipedia:Sid Meier's Pirates!|Sid Meier's Pirates!]]'', another game developed by [[Rare Ltd.|Rare]].


==Composition==
== Arrangements ==
The introduction of the theme has a {{wp|sea shanty}} feel, representing the pirate-esque appearance of the stage where the theme is originally heard, though it quickly segues into a more intense battle theme. The theme is loosely based on the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] port of the title theme from ''{{wp|Sid Meier's Pirates!}}'', another game developed by [[Rare]].
=== ''Donkey Kong Country'' series ===
 
==== ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'' ====
==Arrangements==
A version of "Gang-Plank Galleon" known as '''"Snakey Chantey"''', composed by Grant Kirkhope, appears in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. While the intro remains similar, the rest is noticeably different from the original theme. This theme plays in two levels in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Glimmer's Galleon]] (on the ship hold) and [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest)|Rattle Battle]].
===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''====
''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'' features a few arrangements based on "Gang-Plank Galleon". "'''Klomp's Romp'''"<ref name=Trilogy></ref> is a loose arrangement on the "Gang-Plank Galleon" theme,<ref>[https://youtu.be/AgNXGhHF3Pk?t=74 The Thematic Brilliance of Krook's March -- Designing For Donkey Kong December] by Designing For</ref>{{Better source}} with the motif being slower and subdued, playing on a few of the pirate-themed levels. This particular version of the theme also serves as the basis for "'''Snakey Chantey'''"<ref name=Trilogy>''[[Donkey Kong Country Trilogy]]'' tracklist</ref>, with its intro being a little more accurate to the original theme. This arrangement plays in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Rattle Battle]] and on the ship hold in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]]. The "'''[[Game Over]]'''"<ref name=Trilogy></ref> theme also uses an arrangement of "Klomp's Romp".

==== ''Donkey Kong Country'' (Game Boy Advance) ====
The [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' features an arrangement of "Gang-Plank Galleon" that is similar to the original, though with slightly different instrumentation. This arrangement is used for the same purpose as in the original ''Donkey Kong Country''.
A cover of "Gang-Plank Galleon" appears in the [[Game Boy Advance]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country]]'', being an almost faithful version to the SNES track, though with different instruments due to the hardware of the console.
 
====''Donkey Kong Country 2'' (Game Boy Advance)====
''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'', the [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', includes arrangements of "Klomp's Romp", "Snakey Chantey" (titled "'''Snakey Shanty'''" in the game's sound test), and the "Game Over" theme. They all sound similar to the original version, though they have slightly different instrumentation. Like in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', "Snakey Shanty" can be heard in [[Rattle Battle (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Rattle Battle]], but it is replaced by "Klomp's Romp" in [[Glimmer's Galleon (Donkey Kong Country 2)|Glimmer's Galleon]].

The second part of the theme is drastically different than the original version, instead sounding similar to the introduction but with a more serious tone.  


This arrangement returns in the [[Game Boy Color]] version of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|Donkey Kong Country]]'', where it is reused for the same purpose as in the original ''Donkey Kong Country''.
=== ''Donkey Kong Land'' series ===
