|"Aquatic Ambiance" plays in the levels [[Coral Capers]], [[Clam City]], [[Croctopus Chase]], and [[Poison Pond]].

==Arrangements==
===''Donkey Kong Land''===
''[[Donkey Kong Land]]'' features a heavily {{wp|chiptune}} arrangement of "Aquatic Ambiance" due to the hardware limitations of the [[Game Boy]]. It plays in [[Reef Rampage]] and [[Nautilus Chase]]. 

This arrangement is also included in [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Color)|the Game Boy Color port]] of ''Donkey Kong Country''.

===''Donkey Kong Country'' series===
====''Donkey Kong Country 3''====
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3 (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country 3]]'' (the [[Game Boy Advance]] remake of ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''), an arrangement of "Aquatic Ambiance" is incorporated into the theme heard during the game's opening cutscene and title screen.

====''Donkey Kong Country Returns''====
''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns]]'' features an arrangement of "Aquatic Ambiance," titled "'''Aquatic Ambiance Returns'''" in the music gallery, that plays while riding the [[whale]] in [[Blowhole Bound]].

This arrangement is reused for the same purpose in ''[[Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D]]''.

====''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''====
''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' features five arrangements of "Aquatic Ambiance." The first arrangement, titled "'''Mangrove Cove Underwater'''" in the music menu, plays during the underwater section of [[Mangrove Cove]]. 

A second arrangement, titled "Aquatic Ambiance Returns," plays in the deeper underwater section of [[Deep Keep]], the entire underwater section of [[Current Capers]], and the entirety of [[Shoal Atoll]]. This arrangement sounds closer to the original version of "Aquatic Ambiance." Though it shares a title with the arrangement from ''Donkey Kong Country Returns'', it is a completely unique arrangement. 

A third arrangement can be heard in the underwater section of [[Trunk Twister]].

The fourth is a medley arrangement of "Aquatic Ambiance" and "Lockjaw's Saga" from ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]''. It can be heard in the underwater sections of [[Irate Eight]] and [[Rockin' Relics]]. 

A fifth arrangement plays in the underwater sections of [[Panicky Paddles]].

All of these arrangements are reused for the same purposes in the game's [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|Nintendo Switch port]].
