We're diving deep into the nostalgic tunes of Donkey Kong Country 3, featuring both the SNES and GBA version music by Eveline Fischer and David Wise! From the rhythmic beats of "Mill Fever" to the enchanting melody of "Crystal Chasm," we've compiled the ultimate list of tracks that made these two games timeless classics. Check out the tracklist below, and let us know in the comments which game had the better soundtrack overall!
🔔 Don't forget to LIKE, COMMENT, and SUBSCRIBE for more “Top 10s”! We’ll also be releasing the “Top 10” songs from DKC, DKC 2, and DKC Returns to celebrate the upcoming launch of Donkey Kong Country Returns HD in January 2025 for Nintendo Switch -- and the Donkey Kong theme park in Osaka, Japan (and in the USA)!

Tracklist *SPOILERS*
10. Mill Fever 0:01
9. Frosty Frolics 3:40
8. Rocket Run (GBA) 5:51
7. Nuts & Bolts 9:49
6. Rockface Rumble (GBA) 12:02
5. Water World (GBA) 16:49
4. Cascade Capers 21:51
3. Wrinkly 64 24:50
2. Crystal Chasm 26:17
1. Waterfall (Cascade Capers) (GBA) 27:22
Commentary:
Some tracks, like “Water World,” are not higher on the list because they are used in other DKC games in a better arrangement. Other tracks are not included simply because this is a Top 10 list, and there isn’t enough space to include everything.

The Super Nintendo / Super Famicom tracks in this video use the “restored” versions created by Jammin’ Sam Miller. His gameplay is also used in this video (for the applicable tracks), which is edited to fit the style of this video.

The GBA versions are the original music tracks. The audio quality did not play a role in my selection of the tracks. Covers or full remakes of the GBA tracks are available, but I did not want to use covers or remakes that drastically altered the original sound. As of yet, there are no “restored” versions of the GBA tracks. Keep that in mind.
The Gameboy Advance gameplay featured in this video are clips edited into the video from the following channel: youtube.com/@videogamephenomhd
This "top 10" countdown is my opinion and falls under fair use due to the ranking system, which I thought of and is transformative. Please support the official franchise, games, and music releases!
