Donkey Kong Land 3 - Music - Rocket Run

The Rocket Run theme in Donkey Kong Land 3. Wait, what? The Rocket Run theme is in this game? Yes it is! Strangely, even though the music is in the game, it isn't used anywhere. So the only way you can listen to it is if you hack the ROM so that it plays this theme (though I've also heard of someone's cartridge getting screwed up and it played this song as well). It took me a while to find the song in the ROM, but I found it!

In Donkey Kong Country 3, though, you can hear it in Rocket Rush, the last non-boss level in the game.

In case anybody cares, I recorded this from the Japanese version for GBC, but I don't think it matters (I've heard that it was in the English version for GB as well). I also used VBA-M instead of VBA 1.8.0, because that seems to be the most accurate version of VBA, sound-wise.

I have not heard any other unused themes in this game, though. I also tried looking in DKL2, and didn't find any unused ones in the game, either. I have heard of some rumors of a couple unused songs in DKL, though...

Unfortunately, the quality is somewhat worse when I uploaded it here... but you can watch it in higher quality with this link:
