Donkey Kong 64 marks the first appearance of Rambi's theme.

Donkey Kong Bananza[edit]

In Donkey Kong Bananza, an arrangement of Rambi's theme plays during the Rambi Rumble racing minigame in the Racing Layer. The arrangement was also featured in promotional videos on Nintendo Today! that showcased Donkey Kong and Pauline's facial expressions. It is titled "Racing Layer: Rambi Rumble" in the Nintendo Music app and the game's sound test. Unlike most other tracks in the game, it continues playing when in Photo Mode.
