      and after the mass the bus assigned to our class never arrived.

    The passionate workload for Donkey Kong Country was intense. The rendering machines they used for the models would become so hot that they had to direct all their office fans at them to keep the units from overheating. This meant no cool air for the development team during the hot summer of 93’.

    This brings back memories from my childhood. When I was a kid, my grandpa and I would play this, Super Marioworld, and a few other games on their old SNES and N64. These were some of my best memories of my grandfather. I was young, so I kinda sucked at video games, which means it would amaze me even more when we (mostly he) would beat either game. It’s been years now since my grandpa passed away, he was my father figure, and I didn’t really know how to deal with his death (he died when I was still kinda young, lung cancer). These games helped me cope, and they still bring back memories and feelings from the past.

      When all hope is lost, the enemy has you pinned, all your comrades are being shot down one by one and there it is. On the top of that hill. The enemy stops shooting and they turn to stare at the silhouette of two objects. They look in disbelief and partly fear. You turn to look what they are looking at and you see it. You can barely make it out because the sun is staring at you from being the two silhouettes. But you put your hand over your eyes to take a closer look. A sudden rush of hope surges. The silhouette of a giant gorilla and a small monkey by his side. The Gorilla seems to be holding an object in its hands. “Could it be” you ask yourself. The figures walk closer and you see them clearly now. Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. Donkey Kong puts down the object he is holding. A radio of course. He clicks a button and this theme starts playing. All of a sudden a bunch of monkey reinforcements walk up behind the two heroes. He looks at you and you nod and turn your head to the enemy. Donkey Kong and diddy Kong help you take on the evil army as they scramble to fight back. Now the tables have turned and you will get back your bananas. “For Donkey Kong Country” you scream as you charge the enemy with the monkeys on your side. Then you wake up and it turns out you fell asleep listening to the games theme song. Silly you.

      To answer your question in a more straightforward way than others have, no, this was not the earliest instance of this melody. It is the theme to the original Donkey Kong on NES, but rearranged and modernized (at the time) for Donkey Kong Country. It's part of the joke when you boot up the game, because the old man (Cranky Kong, suggested to be the original arcade Donkey Kong) is playing the song on a phonograph when the younger, hip kid (present day Donkey Kong) comes in with a boombox version instead.

      This is simply inspired by the original arcade theme song. I personally feel it's different enough that this is the first time we heard this particular vastly different take on it.
