Bottom left: Increasing the contrast for a clearer view.
Bottom right: The picture is actually a very slightly modified version of the Funky Kong logo used in the Funky Stadium track in Mario Kart Wii. It later also appeared as Funky Kong’s emblem in Mario Kart Tour.

The “Sawmill Thrill - Midway” track from Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. The only way to hear it in full is to reach a checkpoint in Level 2-4, then lose a life, and instead of continuing the level upon restarting, stay on the tiny platform with the checkpoint for over 30 seconds.
