Plot twist: Ultimate's Crocodile Cacophony is as polarizing as Brawl's remix of Stickerbush Symphony.
Honestly just having the song recognized is enough. But I think it’s just an SNES rip, which is fine by me.

Crocodile Cacophony is probably my favorite out of K. Rool's boss themes, helped by the fact that his DKC2 boss battle is my favorite of his boss fights. So much creativity went into that one, and the product turned out simply great. I'm happy to know the theme made it into Ultimate! Assuming it's a remix, now we'll have to wait to hear a clear version, straight from the OST, begins, in a similar vein to how we're still waiting for the full version of Gangplank Galleon. If not, that's fine. The original's still really good.

Now if only we could get some Big Boss Blues in here, as well...

To be fair, Ultimate-debuting remixes have hit it out of the park 99% of the time. Still don't get how a remix of S/M's Wild Pokémon battle theme got messed up…

That said, has anyone else seen the KoaraYMT Twitter account? That user posted some great pieces on the 16th:

Bringing back the original track is rather mixed, since music from the SNES era isn't exactly the best quality out there (quality had to be restricted, due to storage space limits), and Crocodile Cacophony is rather short in length when compared to Brawl's remix of King K. Rool / Ship Deck 2.

Yeah, but the song is so great that I wouldn't care.

However, that remix sounds AWESOME. WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Somebody’s leaking the soundtrack. Crocodile Cacophony is not a remix. It sounds ****ing INCREDIBLE.

Don't you mean is a remix?

That Crocodile Cacophony remix is heavenly

"Cacophony" is kind of a misnomer in this case, ain't it?

Goddamn, my ears like what they're hearing. I thought nothing would top the Gangplank Galleon remix until THIS came along. I must know who the remixer is! :joyful:

Imagine, if Big Boss Blues is in and is even better...

I hope you guys are drowning in vindication. So much love given to nearly every form of representation for this "irrelevant and ugly" character.

We got K. Rool, and fresh remixes of his two best themes plus Snakey Chantey in one game. This is the best ****ing Smash ever.

Oh you have no idea.

If you told me in July not only would K. Rool be in, he would have new remixes of Gangplank Galleon AND Crocodile Cacophony, I'd slap you. It's obvious that K. Rool is getting so much love because we krocked the vote. Our voices WERE heard, we DID make a difference, and we were NOT a vocal minority.

December 7th needs to be yesterday.

Just wanted to pop on and say...

"Holy ****. Crocodile Cacophony."

Like, I didn't even think that would make it in as a remix. But it did. And it's REALLY FUGGIN' GOOD.

It's a good time to be a K.Rool fan.

I wonder how long until we get mashup between the Cacophony remix and the Finest Hour?

This is awesome. The fact that the DKC series is getting this much love into it this time is truly incredible. Hopefully Big Boss Blues and the K. Rool DK64 boss fight get included then it will be literally perfect. So much attention to detail to a character that was forgotten for 10 years, a character that was deemed "irrelevant". This is a huge victory. I can't wait play matches as K. Rool to Gangplank Galleon and Krocodile Kacophony. I'm going to enjoy this for a very long time.

BEST SMASH EVER

Now someone needs to remake the K.Rool reveal trailer but with Crocodile Cacaphony instead of Gangplank Galleon. I need to know how that flows. Also someone make a Smash Bros Commercial meme but with Crocodile Cacaphony as the track.

That flawless integration of K. Rool Returns could not have packed more of an emotional wallop, given everything so many of us have gone through to get to this point with this series. Oh my God.

As I said after the November Direct... I'm like 100% sure K. Rool won the ballot, no ifs, ands, buts, or asterisks.

Of course, it's only because that damn vocal minority that voted hundreds of times in Best Buy stores. Nobody but them cares about the Kremlings!

I still like that they straight up use the SMW ground theme in this game.

No joke, this song is probably one of the best things I've ever heard in Smash. We worked hard, Kutthroats, but the King's finally here with some of the best DK music brought with him!

K. Rool and Mega Man were my most wanted by far back in the Smash 4 days, and both of them have amazing music accompanying them in this game.

It's great to be a king.

Snakey Chantey remix on YouTube:


This makes like 2.5 new K. Rool remixes.

The Crocodile Cacaphony remix is insane. Smash Ultimate is looking to top Brawl's soundtrack. Anyone found a Big Boss Blues remix?

Honestly, I know why they picked Gangplank Galleon, being the Kroc's OG theme and all, but if I can go into nitpick territory for a moment, I always have like Crocodile Cacophony more and would have preferred a K. Rool trailer with that over Gangplank. I always knew Gangplank would appear in a (once) hypothetical K. Rool reveal, but I always kind of hoped it would be about half gangplank/half cacophony.

No Big Boss Blues sadly, actually I don't think there were any DKC3 tune additions at all. Interesting.
