(https://themushroomkingdom.net/board/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fthemushroomkingdom.net%2Fmariopedia%2Fsprites%2Fsmb3%2Fnote_block.png&hash=91f6375fdbd71328f87072133eb083d6) We're proud to present another new album spinning on WTMK -- Donkey Kong Country (http://themushroomkingdom.net/mania/albums/tgbdkc) by The Greatest Bits.  This album twists up the Donkey Kong Country (http://themushroomkingdom.net/games/dkcountry) music you know and love into a dance/hip hop/chip tune smoothie.  The tracks all sound updated but retain that certain 90s Euro feel!

"They have been restyled into SNES remixes and Wii remixes that are retro and modern at the same time . . . A lot of the lead melodies of the game have been ‘vintagized’; they have been performed with 8-bit style soundchips. On the other hand the songs have been remixed in styles of current dance beats and hip-hop grooves." -- The Greatest Bits

Highlights include:
