Unused 8-bit version of the “Rocket Run” music from Donkey Kong Country 3, found in the data of Donkey Kong Land 3. Since Donkey Kong Land 3 does not have the Rocket Barrel that was used in the original game when this song played, there is no level it would be used in. The existence of a remix of this song suggests, however, that at some point in development a level with the Rocket Barrel was planned.
