Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

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 clearing a specific gate puzzle for a second time in the overworld map, at the end of each world (except for the Dungeon); clearing it the first time would unlock the gate to the next world.

After clearing the music gate puzzle for the second time in the Reef, the organ pipes would also play "Bonus Room Blitz" in Rabbid noises, when clearing it the first time would previously play "Opening" from Donkey Kong.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features a new arrangement for The Map Page / Bonus Level, a medley of Simian Segue and Bonus Room Blitz that uses the respective tracks' Japanese names. The Bonus Room Blitz portion specifically has also been used for Diddy Kong's fighter showcase video on the official website. 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.

Conker's Pocket Tales

Bonus Room Blitz, based on the title theme of Donkey Kong Land III can be heard, can be heard while Conker plays on his Game Boy during his idle animation in Conker's Pocket Tales.
