Another DK64 classic!! This melody has never been more stuck in my head both as a kid playing the game and recently while putting this cover together. Nothing says nostalgia like getting lost underwater looking for the last 5 bananas or rage quitting the mechanical fish section. I didn't want to tackle this track right away in my list of cover ideas due to the intimidatingly high importance on woodwinds and low strings in this track and I felt guitars/melodica wouldn't cut it as a substitute. With careful planning and having the blessing of the wonderful VGM community though, I had the immense pleasure of having not one or two, but five collaborators to complete the picture, and wow, did they all play so well!
