You know, it's rather odd that Jungle Japes doesn't have the original song from Melee.
Sure, Kongo Jungle 64's theme is a remix of the same song and fits the stage just fine, given the similar sunset jungle setting both stages have, but it's still an odd decision when all other past stages have at least one of their original songs (especially Brawl stages where some songs are either absent, mainly on the 3DS version due to the two song per stage limit, or moved to other stages). Can't really complain, though, as Kongo Jungle 64 is more nostalgic considering Jungle Japes was in Brawl but the song wasn't.
Speaking of music, I kind of dislike how there isn't My Music on the 3DS when they have extra songs for Smash Run. Some stages could have easily had 3 or 4 songs.
These extra songs could've been on the following stages and wouldn't be poorly fitting:
- Rainbow Ride on 3D Land
- Stickerbrush Symphony on Jungle Japes
- Area 6 / Missile Slipstream on Corneria
- With Mila's Divine Protection on Arena Ferox
- Boss Fight 1 on Reset Bomb Forest
- Mechanical Rhythm on Gaur Plain
I don't know, I just feel the extra songs, while a neat addition for Smash Run, end up overshadowed by the songs on the main stages. Well, they are at least used in the Wii U version for normal stages, so I guess it's not that bad after all...
