Composition[edit]

"K. Rool, King of Rot Battle" is an orchestral rock composition that incorporates elements of "Big Boss Blues" and "Hot Pursuit" from Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!. It also quotes "Crocodile Cacophony (K. Rool's Theme)" from Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest approximately 1 minute and 18 seconds in.

History[edit]

Donkey Kong Bananza[edit]

Donkey Kong Bananza marks the first appearance of "K. Rool, King of Rot Battle". Outside of the arena where K. Rool, King of Rot is fought, the theme plays faintly from floating monitors.

An arrangement of "K. Rool, King of Rot Battle" plays during the first phase of the boss battle against King K. Rool in the Planet Core. This arrangement is mostly identical to the original theme, except it omits the section quoting "Crocodile Cacophony (K. Rool's Theme)". It is titled "King K. Rool Battle" in the Nintendo Music app. This theme is not included in the game's sound test.
