"Funky's Fugue,"[1][2] also known as "FUNKY KONG PAGE,"[1][3] is a musical theme most prominently appearing in Donkey Kong Country. It was originally composed by Robin Beanland for an internal update video for Killer Instinct, another game developed by Rare.[4] Its later inclusion in Donkey Kong Country makes it the only piece by Beanland, who did not compose anything intended for the game, on the soundtrack.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Country[edit]

"Funky's Fugue" first appears in the original Donkey Kong Country, where it plays while talking to Funky Kong at Funky's Flights, and while using the Jumbo Barrel.

In the Game Boy Color remake of Donkey Kong Country, a chiptune arrangement of "Funky's Fugue" plays for the same purpose as in the original game.

Unlike other themes in the game, "Funky's Fugue" is not present in the Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country, being replaced with a completely new theme.

The album Super Donkey Kong Game Music CD Jungle Fantasy features a unique arrangement of "Funky's Fugue," titled "FUNKY KONG PAGE" and arranged by Yoshiyuki Ito.

Donkey Kong Jungle Beat[edit]

In Donkey Kong Jungle Beat and its Wii port, New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, the vocals from "Funky's Fugue" are incorporated in the theme that plays in the Opening Ceremony.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

The original SNES version of "Funky's Fugue" appears as a selectable track in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It can be bought for 300G if it randomly appears in the Shop, or can be randomly received after playing Classic Mode.
