Notes[edit]
- On the Nintendo Music app, "Stickerbush Symphony (Bramble Blast)" is labeled as "Selects," classifying it as one "of the very best tracks from the Nintendo Music library," originating from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest. "Stickerbush Symphony (Bramble Blast)" shares this title with "K. Rool Returns (Title Theme)" and "Kannon's Klanking (Kannon's Klaim)."
- "Stickerbush Symphony" was originally intended to play in underwater or cloud levels, but the theme was repurposed due to the game lacking either of those level types.[14]
