Game appearances[edit]
Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]
"Squeak Squad Appears!" debuts in this game. True to its name, the song plays when the Squeaks appear as Kirby grabs any large treasure chest, as well as in the cutscene after beating King Dedede in Prism Plains, when the Squeaks first show up. It can be found as Music 22 in the game's Sound Room.
Super Smash Bros. series[edit]
A remix of the theme, named "Squeak Squad Theme" in the North American language versions and "Mouse Attack Theme" in the European language versions, can be unlocked for the Halberd stage in Super Smash Bros. Brawl after collecting a random CD. This remix is an electronic-rock version of the theme, and it features an extended opening and a sightly different loop. It is arranged by Hirokazu Tanaka.
The remix returns in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U as one of the tracks that can play in the The Great Cave Offensive stage and is also unlocked by collecting a random CD. It also appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now as a default song. Like all other Kirby songs in the game, it can now be played in any Kirby series stage, Battlefield, Big Battlefield, Small Battlefield and Final Destination.
Kirby Mass Attack[edit]
A slow-paced bossa nova styled remix of the beginning of "Squeak Squad Appears!" plays inside Daroach's Airship. It is named "Daroach Reunion" in the game's Music Player, and was arranged by Shogo Sakai.

The second is a full rearrangement of the theme, playing during Morpho Knight's boss battle in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! and Soul Melter (EX) in The Ultimate Choice if player one is Daroach. It is titled 真!ドロッチェ団のテーマ (True! Squeak Squad Theme) in the soundtrack. Both themes are arranged by the original composer, Jun Ishikawa.
