Arrangements

Donkey Kong Land

Due to the hardware limitations of the Game Boy, Donkey Kong Land features a heavily chiptune arrangement of "Aquatic Ambiance" in Reef Rampage and Nautilus Chase. This arrangement is also included in the Game Boy Color port of Donkey Kong Country.

Donkey Kong Country series

Donkey Kong Country 3

In Donkey Kong Country 3 (the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!) an arranged version of "Aquatic Ambiance" plays in the opening cutscene as well as the title screen.
