Music

• 30B2D-????? = List of little-endian pointers for music data -- four per music track (presumably one pointer per channel)
  • Appears to function similarly to several Battletoads games, as well as Donkey Kong Land 2 and Donkey Kong Land III?
• 31EB2-31EFB = Level-based list of indices, used for pointers of music data from ROM
• 0092F-????? = Pointer table of music data in ROM (to be copied into SRAM starting at A000). Format is little-endian pointer, followed by bank.
  • This structure appears to be unique to Donkey Kong Land, and no other Rare game (either the DKL sequels or the Battletoads games) are known to copy music from ROM to SRAM. (While DKL2 copies some songs from ROM to RAM, it does not use this structure.)
• 31FDA-32023 = Level-based list of music indices, used for channel pointers (which can be from either ROM or SRAM, depending on the music track)

Tempos

• 30B17-????? = Music tempo list
