"Simian Segue,"[1][2] also known as "THE MAP PAGE,"[3] is a musical theme composed by Eveline Fischer for Donkey Kong Country, where it plays in the world map screen. This theme has since been used and rearranged for various entries in the Donkey Kong franchise, typically used for the world maps.

Donkey Kong Country Returns[edit]

Donkey Kong Country Returns, as well as its Nintendo 3DS port, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D, and its Nintendo Switch port, Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, feature several arrangements of "Simian Segue," one for each world's map, including the Golden Temple in the original, as well as one for viewing Donkey Kong Island as a whole. The Jungle variation returns in Tetris 99, where it plays in the losing results screen while the Donkey Kong Country Returns HD theme is in use.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a big-band medley arrangement of "Simian Segue" and "Bonus Room Blitz," titled after the two themes' Japanese names, "The Map Page / Bonus Level," can play in any Super Smash Bros.-series and Donkey Kong-series stage. It also played in the "Items" section of the August 2018 Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Direct. This arrangement was arranged by Hiroshi Yamaguchi, with Naofumi Harada performing on guitar. Yamaguchi chose to arrange these tracks not only because of his memories of playing Donkey Kong Country with his sister when he was in junior high school, but also to attempt a new genre of music that he would not normally be able to work on at PlatinumGames.[4]
