"Stickerbush Symphony (Bramble Blast)" shares this title with "K. Rool Returns (Title Theme)" and "Kannon's Klanking (Kannon's Klaim)".
  • "Stickerbush Symphony" was originally intended to play in underwater or cloud levels, but the theme was repurposed due to the game lacking either of those level types.[15]
