Donkey Kong Land's boss battle theme was repurposed for the Skerries stage in Blast Corps, a Nintendo 64 game also developed by Rare and also composed by Graeme Norgate. According to an interview with Norgate, he claims that he reused the track "through laziness", though he also admits that he couldn't remember why. This track was removed from the Rare Replay release of Blast Corps in 2015 to avoid any legal issues with Nintendo, who have since retained the rights to all of Rare's Donkey Kong games and content, but was re-instated in the Nintendo Switch Online release of the game in 2024.
