My immediate thought is to maybe switch it with Daisy Circuit, and then make DK Summit the last track, but this introduces entirely new problems like having two Circuits in one cup.

By the time you get to TSE it feels like the game has already surprised you enough that it has to play a bit zanier to keep getting you, like wackier secrets and stuff like the Christmas level, but it still manages to escalate appropriately sometimes. Either way the "joke" is still present. (2/3)
