Hack description

This patch primarily changes the first four boss levels to use the previously unused Boss Bossanova music -
mimicking the behaviour of the game's SNES counterpart.

In addition, the following audio changes have also been made:
- The screen before bonus stages now plays the Titular Tableau music, like in Donkey Kong Country 2.
- The 3-second timer on this screen is disabled so that you have to press A to go to the bonus stage, as is the case in the GBA version of DKC2. It is now possible to listen to the music before it cuts out too early.
- The Gangplank Galley and Rattle Battle levels now use the Shakey Chanty music instead of the overused Lockjaw's Saga music.

The restoration we needed	Supergamerguy	2022-08-03	Version 1.0
I never had an issue with the music in Donkey Kong Land 2, all thanks to this hack. I feel like this is a mandatory patch for anyone looking to play Donkey Kong Land 2, as I wouldn't want to listen to the same song over and over again, like you do in many parts of the original game. This hack is compatible with the Donkey Kong Land 2 GBC conversion, for anyone wondering.
