Donkey Kong Land 2 Music Boss Bossanova UNUSED

I bet none of you were expecting this... here is the Boss Bossanova music in DKL2. Yes, you read that right -- it's the Boss Bossanova music!! Well, it's unused. Although it's somewhat well-known that DKL and DKL3 both have unused music, as far as I know, nobody has been aware of the existence of this track -- until NOW! Yeah, it took 16 years for this to be discovered. • I do happen to like this 8-bit rendition of this track. It's not perfect (it could do without that part that rises and lowers in pitch around the beginning), but I think the track is catchy, and it's been stuck in my head for days. It would have fit well for the bosses (except for K. Rool, of course). It makes me wonder why Rare decided to completely replace this song with the Crocodile Cacophony song. Seriously, that's weird. In DKL3, all the bosses also use the K. Rool music, but in that case, there's no evidence that the regular boss music (Boss Boogie) even exists in that game. • I've tried searching for other unused songs, but I've come up with nothing. Worth noting: This music will play when hacked in boss levels and even bonus stages, but if you try to hack this music (along with a couple other songs) into regular levels, it's silent. And since there are other tracks that seem to be silent with every screen that I've attempted... maybe there's a way to make them not silent? I don't know though, the way this game deals with music is weird. • If you want to hear the music for yourself, get a hex editor, open a DKL2 ROM (doesn't matter if it's English or Japanese), and go to the addresses 0x4037D, 0x40391, 0x403A5, and 0x403B9. These determine the music of Krow's Nest, Kleaver's Kiln, King Zing Sting, and Kreepy Krow, respectively. You'll see that these have the values of 0x23, which makes them play the Crocodile Cacophony music. Change them all to 0x19 and they will play the Boss Bossanova music! Try it. • I do have a patch here: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php... It does the changes I mentioned above, plus it does other things too: • It changes the music on the screen before a bonus stage to Titular Tableau • It disables the 3-second timer on this screen so that you have to press A to go to the bonus. That way people get to hear this music without it being cut early. This is similar to the GBA games. • Gangplank Galley and Rattle Battle now have the Snakey Chanty music • Due to these three things, the patch won't work on the Japanese game. However, if someone wants a Japanese patch, or if someone wants a patch that only changes the music of the boss levels, I can make those easily too. (I made the latter three changes because I assumed most people would like the changes, since it makes it more like DKC2.) • Anyway, I hope you all enjoy this unused music! I can make an MP3 if anybody wants. But for now, you can find an OGG file here: • http://tcrf.net/Donkey_Kong_Land_2
