Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest[edit]

Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest marks the first appearance of "Snakey Chantey." It is also included in the official albums Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest Original Soundtrack, Super Donkey Kong 2: Dixie & Diddy Original Sound Version, and Donkey Kong Country Trilogy.

The Game Boy Advance remake of Donkey Kong Country 2 contains its own arrangement of "Snakey Chantey." It is titled "Snakey Shanty" in the game's sound test. It plays in Rattle Battle just like in the original game. Unlike the original theme, it does not play in the exterior portions of Glimmer's Galleon, instead being replaced with "Klomp's Romp."

Donkey Kong Land 2[edit]

In Donkey Kong Land 2, a chiptune arrangement of "Snakey Chantey" plays in the level Pirate Panic. It was arranged by Grant Kirkhope.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, an arrangement of "Snakey Chantey" arranged by Kumi Tanioka can play in any Super Smash Bros.-series and Donkey Kong-series stage. The theme has an orchestra march-like feel and also incorporates the last sections of "Gang-Plank Galleon."
