@Nintendo64Boy96 That's the only thing preventing me from considering this version a hands-down improvement over the SNES version like most GBA ports!
When I first got my laptop, this was the first youtube video I watched. I will return mine to the school soon and this is the last video I watched. The first video I watched on my Mac was also my last.
For me, this boss theme is somewhat of an upgrade from the SNES. DKC2 had the best boss theme since it conveyed a lot of energy. The original DKC3's boss theme was rather generic in how it was composed. I don't think it was the worst boss music, but it still could have been much, much better.
They changed the music because it would have been butchered by the GBA's lesser sound capabilities, like with the DKC and DKC2 soundtrack, so they made a new one more suited for the system.
If Belcha ever, EVER CAME ALIVE, I would march up to his face, and hold a match up, and drop it right in his fat, ugly face! (Note: I would be scared because of how giant he is *sniff*)
If that theory is true, wouldn't it take more time to remake a whole new soundtrack? So isn't it that they really tried? If they didn't really try, they would just keep the old soundtrack, and people would still complain about it by saying that they wrecked it or its butchered.
This combined with five minutes of Tommy Wiseau chirping is just totally super awesome.

@Nintendo64Boy96 true, every final boss should have his/her own theme music

@Towerofhera I'm sorry. I can't forgive a game that doesn't have different music for the last boss.

I remember playing this in my classroom with all my friends when my teacher wasn't there.
I came to Belcha. And everyone showed the same reaction:
"... a barrel?! WTF?!"

I like this one, but the SNES one is more fitting, despite being more generic.

The SNES music had too many low notes for the GBA to handle.

I think that Rare could have done it if they had really tried. Some demoscene productions on the GBA have had very low frequencies in their music.
