Since original Jumanji composer James Horner is sadly no longer with us, the honor of writing the music was given to Henry Jackman. Just as on the Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle he created the music for the movie The Next Level. It is a different movie and score since the main characters in the gaming world are different persons than their real-world counterparts. About “Attack of the Mandrills” Jackman said: “this piece plays over one of the most exciting set pieces in the entire sequel: our heroes race across a series of rickety and shifting rope bridges with an army of rabid primates in hot pursuit. I probably spent about six weeks on that one piece.”
