Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle[edit]
In the Donkey Kong Adventure DLC campaign for Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, an arrangement for "Bonus Room Blitz" called "Jungle Jabber," plays during timed bonus room challenges, which often involve pressing switches and pushing barrels in Mine Carts to reach the end and get a Weapon from a treasure chest. These bonus rooms are accessed by entering a golden Barrel Cannon, which in turn can be accessed after a specific gate puzzle is cleared for a second time in the overworld map, at the end of each world (except for the Dungeon); clearing it the first time unlocks the gate to the next world.
After the music gate puzzle was cleared for the second time in the Reef, the organ pipes would also play "Bonus Room Blitz" in Rabbid noises. When the puzzle was cleared the first time, the organ would previously play "Opening" from Donkey Kong.

A medley of these two themes' original versions had previously been used under the same name in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, which also returns in this game.
