He-he-here we go
If you know the words, you can join in too Put your hands together, if you want to clap As we take you through this monkey rap Huh
Donkey Kong
He's finally back to kick some tail His coconut gun can fire in spurts If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt He's bigger, faster, and stronger too He's the first member of the DK crew Huh
Donkey Kong DK Donkey Kong is here
She can shrink in size, to suit her mood She's quick and nimble when she needs to be She can float through the air and climb up trees If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong Huh
Donkey Kong
Th-this Kong has a funny face He can handstand when he needs to And stretch his arms out, just for you Inflate himself just like a balloon This crazy Kong just digs this tune Huh
Donkey Kong DK DK Donkey Kong is here
And this time he's in the mood He can fly real high with his jetpack on With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong He'll make you smile when he plays his tune But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you
Donkey Kong DK Haha, Donkey Kong DK Donkey Kong DK
It's the last member of the DK crew This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny Can make a Kremling cry out for mummy Can pick up a boulder with relative ease Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze He may move slow, he can't jump high But this Kong's one heck of a guy
Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells Grapes, melons, oranges and coconut shells Aww yeah
If you know the words, you can join in too Put your hands together, if you want to clap As we take you through this monkey rap |

Other music tracks
The Sound Test features 80 entries in its music list (if counting short pieces including victory themes), but this is not the full selection of music in the game. However, many might identify the Giga Bowser battle music as the 81st track (for a total of 81 songs). In addition to the Giga Bowser battle music being not available in the Sound Test, several short unused pieces can be found in the debug sound test menu.[1]
Unlocking Method
Alternate tracks can only be unlocked when the player has unlocked a certain number of characters (Tracks #30, #32, #34, #35, #36, and #37 are unlocked after all characters are unlocked, while tracks #31 and #33 are unlocked after Marth and Young Link are unlocked). Track #55 only plays when the Sound Test is unlocked.
Trivia
- Luigi's introduction in Adventure Mode features the music from Peach's Castle in the original Super Smash Bros. This track, along with Giga Bowser's theme, cannot be played in the Sound Test.
