===''Donkey Kong Country Returns'' (''3D'' / ''HD'')===
The Maraca Gang appears in the final level of the [[Beach]] world, [[Pinchin' Pirates]], in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' and its [[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D|3DS]] and [[Donkey Kong Country Returns HD|Nintendo Switch]] ports. In it, they hypnotize the [[Scurvy Crew]] to fight [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]]. Each member of the trio hides behind one of the crabs. 

In the final level of the game, [[Tiki Tong Terror]], the Maraca Gang is converted into hands for [[Tiki Tong]], alongside the other six high-ranking Tiki Tak Tribe members.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', the Maraca Gang is part of the Tiki Tak Tribe spirit, which includes all of the members who hypnotize bosses in ''Donkey Kong Country Returns''.
