In celebration of the game's 25th anniversary, rapper Substantial, along with original composer Grant Kirkhope, teamed together for a remix album called Rare Treats: Donkey Kong 64 Revisited. The album includes 14 tracks featuring new beats and some new lyrics but retains the classic DK vibe.
'This isn't just a nostalgia trip--it's a full-blown, banana-fueled celebration,' the official song description reads, highlighting how the album features revisited recordings re-arranged by Kirkhope.
Kevin Bayliss, the designer of the original Donkey Kong 64 characters, even provided the cover album and inserts. This collaboration adds to the nostalgia and authenticity of the remixed soundtrack.
Despite the DK Rap's inclusion in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, where Kirkhope was not credited, he has been credited in every other use of the song across various games.
