"Forest Frenzy,"[1][2] also known as "FOREST LEVEL,"[3] is a musical theme composed by Eveline Novakovic for Donkey Kong Country, where it plays in the forest levels Vulture Culture and Forest Frenzy. Unlike other level themes in the game, "Forest Frenzy" is not present in the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country, being replaced with a completely new theme.
