The [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' features a faithful arrangement of "Gang-Plank Galleon" very similar to the original, though with slightly different instrumentation. This arrangement is used for the same purpose as in the original ''Donkey Kong Country''.

''[[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 2]]'', the [[Game Boy Advance]] port of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', features a faithful arrangement of "Snakey Chantey" titled "'''Snakey Shanty'''" in the game's sound test.

=====Lyrics=====

You can do it, whelp<br>

You can claw 'em, gnaw 'em, stone 'em, beat 'em<br>

I'll do this with my mind, you just obey me!<br>

And do you stammer, stammer, seein' my eye?<br>

You better start me, steam me, see me, scrub me, feed me my pie<br>

You ready already, or wheezy oh? And bestial crushin', easy though<br>

And totally the very top DNA, now!<br>

You need a shanty, shanty, shanty: a song<br>

You're an extremely scary regent that conquers us all, you go:<br>

Bananananananananananana<br>

Bananananananananananana<br>

Banananananananananananana<br>
