It is entirely possible that he didn't intend to use DK's theme as the main theme for SM64.
It is entirely possible he started writing and figured out what he was doing later.

It is much much more likely it was intentional.

What I said was douchey and I apologize.

Apology accepted, I apologize for yelling at you too and escalating, I didn't need to.

I agree that the usage of the DK melody is a strong possibility and that it has thematic strength. I just have a lot more uncertainty about the obviousness of that being Kondo's process - it isn't that difficult to end up with something that sounds like the 25M theme.

I'm actually in the process right now of trying to comb through interviews with Koji Kondo to see if they offer any insight but I haven't come up with too much that really pertains to this yet.
