[@Bubbatauti]

Fun fact: David Wise, the composer, wrote three demo tracks for a jungle style level, and he was told to remove the breaks in between the three songs and play them as one. That became this song. At 0:56, the second track begins. And at 1:30 the third one starts.

[@zilexion]

Animatic121 i always thought that third section was out of place... never caught onto the first two though.

[@fletchy40]

So this is why this song in so amazing and full of depth and atmosphere. It's 3 songs in one!

[@plbster]

the second one is my favorite

[@Madchimpz]

I always liked the third part the most, it sounds so mysterious. It's a shame you usually either finish the level or die before you get to that part.

[@Mr.pHantastic7]

For me, I feel this is honestly the greatest video game track of all time. The musicianship, the melody, the build, the vibes, and the craftsmanship. Its perfect. Dude did not have to go that hard for the first track of the game. So much structure.

[@jaschabull2365]

The way the music progressively builds up from the bongos to the paired bass notes to the repetition of the chord pairs to the bass kicking off then the keyboard coming in to finally the whole piece coming swingin' with the trumpets and all is just... *chef's kiss* Takes me back, man. The SSBM scoring team did a reasonably good job of revamping this theme for the Jungle Japes level, but there's something about the original that's special in its own right.

[@Microwav64]

Very much so

[@StarHaven64]

The change at 1:30 is incredible musicianship. The same song but different dimensions essentially!

[@HippoEatTortoise]

I like how they split up the two halves in returns. Definitely should be two songs.
