Awesome Music / Kirby

So good, it kills you.

So upbeat and happy it could kill the devil. Unmarked spoilers below.

Kirby's Dream Land/2/3

• Green Greens, the first stage track, and basically the theme tune of the series. Most games in the series have some version of it, such as Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land and Super Star, as well was Ultra. And then there's this remix.
• Castle Lololo, the second stage track, while not as famous as Green Greens, has seen a surge in usage as Dyna Blade's theme, such as in Air Ride and Super Star Ultra though that much harsher version was first used in the recap of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'s final episode ("Fright to the Finish"), of the next-to-last episode ("Combat Kirby").
• Float Islands, the third stage track, which has been used in Super Star, both in its normal usage and remixed as the Rest Area music, later used in SSBM.
• Bubbly Clouds the fourth stage track, which has been used in Super Star in its normal usage and was also remixed as the Grape Garden theme in Kirby's Adventure.
• The original 8-bit version of the King Dedede theme, which came to evolve as the games did as well. It sounds surprisingly very climactic, so much so that it manages to perfectly suit a battle between a puffball and a royally-garbed penguin in a wrestling ring. Even better, it reappears in Dream Land 2, unchanged from the previous game.
• "A New Wind for Tomorrow" from Super Star was taken from the original Kirby's Dream Land (as was everything else about Spring Breeze), and, believe it or not, it sounds equal in terms of awesomeness, even in tiny 8-bit MIDI synth.
• From Kirby's Dream Land 2, the themes of Big Forest, Coo the Owl, Cloudy Park and Dark Castle are some favorites.
  • Kirby's Dream Land 2's Boss Theme is impressive, too.
  • The battle against Dark Matter's first form is pretty catchy. "Real Dark Matter", the theme for the second phase is epic as well.
  • The ending theme is good on its own, but this remix takes it to a whole new level.
• From Kirby's Dream Land 3, The Last Iceberg and Stage: Comical, the latter of which has become something of a music fad.
  • Ripple Field: Ocean Waves is also a great catchy, if not relaxing tune in the same vein as Kirby Super Star's Float Island.
  • Another Ripple Field track has a sort of submerged sound to it, perfectly suitable for the underwater level in which it is first heard. It could also give Comical Stage a run for its money in terms of catchiness.
  • Grass Land (4) is a super catchy theme that's so good, it was remixed for Star Allies.
  • The miniboss music is fast-paced and catchy.
  • It's pretty short, but the title screen music is fantastic.
  • The Credits music may bring a tear to your eye.
  • The final bosses - Dark Matter and Zero. Dark Matter's theme is a much longer piece than its theme in 2, and it ends up sounding incredibly climactic - until Zero's theme plays which instead perfectly captures the surprise of a new opponent suddenly crashing into your way...and also the feeling of nearing victory.

Kirby's Adventure/Nightmare in Dream Land

• Grape Garden is a mellow-sounding stage theme that has been remixed a couple times in the franchise's history.
• Grape Garden: Stage Select can bring a tear to your eye.
• Boss Battle is a fitting theme for the boss battles during the game.
• Butter Building is a fast-paced stage theme that is quite catchy.
• Mountain Stage is an upbeat theme that has also been remixed several times.
• Rainbow Resort is a sad, yet uplifting theme. The NES original uses some trickery with the triangle wave to make the tune more unique.
• From the GBA version, Nightmare in Dream Land, we have a new version of the awesome Fountain of Dreams theme, which is actually a symphonic version of the Gourmet Race theme from KSS/KSSU. Although, the Super Smash Bros. Melee original mix is even more epic. Since it uses the previous melody in place of the classic Dedede Theme, Nightmare In Dream Land uses that melody in the Tower of Mid-bosses instead, replacing the mini-boss battle melody used originally in that stage (see 2:47 onwards).
• The Forest Stage theme, while more whimsical and mysterious, has a seriously catchy beat, even compared to other tracks in the game.
• Vegetable Valley and the intro music are two of the series' most famous tracks by far, and are most certainly the ones that people associate with the game most, thanks in large part to their energetic, happy tones that put the NES sound chip to great use.
• Orange Ocean is a jaunty tune befitting the piratey theme of the stage, and even if 8-bit, it still gives the highly tropical vibe of the area. It can also build some anticipation in the player given this is where Meta Knight is at.
• Nightmare's Theme - this version complete with Warp Star intro! It is quite an appropriate theme for the final boss fast-paced and unnerving at the same time.

Kirby Super Star (Ultra)

• The Super Star version of King Dedede's Theme, which drops the more dramatic tone for a more bombastic one: and to top it off, it adds in the second part of the famous theme.
  • This electro house remix can get anyone jamming out to it.
  • The obligatory Brawl Remix, a larger-than-life, powerful and energetic cover of the classic tune, composed by Yoko Shimomura. Oh yes, that Yoko. Which is arguably even better when slowed down.
  • On the subject of King Dedede themes: the Masked King battle music from Ultra, an incredibly sped up version of Dedede's theme that still manages to sound extremely intense and climactic for the battle against Masked Dedede.
  • And speaking of Masked Dedede, there's this memetic joy of a video.
  • The Masked King is intense, but the GaMetal version takes it into the realm of insanity.
• A New Wind for Tomorrow is a remix of Dream Land's credits theme, and it is utterly wonderful in new 16-bit glory while retaining the overly happy and victorious tone of the track.
• Mallow Castle is a groovy beat that wouldn't sound out of place as a world map track.
• Cocoa Cave is a surprisingly fast-paced track for a cave themed stage, but it still retains the overall mysterious feel of one, with a stranger usage of instruments than most tracks.
• Candy Mountain is one of the more well-known tracks, and most definitely one of the jolliest and most energetic of the whole game thus far.
• The Great Cave Offensive theme is bombastic and lively, as well as the second theme, which is likely twice as epic.
• Of course, Gourmet Race. Perhaps the most iconic theme tune of the whole franchise, even eclipsing Green Greens.
  • And all of its obligatory remixes. "Gourmet Race" is likely one of the most remixed tunes on the internet.
  • Another fun little remix is the Vocaloid treatment.
  • Then all of its official remixes: Dream Land 3, Kirby 64, and Epic Yarn. And that's not even getting into the Super Smash Bros. remixes: Dream Land from the original, Fountain of Dreams from Melee, and the metal version from Brawl. Especially Brawl. To put Brawl's "Gourmet Race" metal remix in perspective, the original version uploaded by SilvaGunner^note the original Silva, not the high-quality ripper had amassed over a million views before it and the rest of her massive library of video game music was unfortunately taken down. When she returned, the new video racked up over triple that. One official remix deserves special mention: Paint Panic. The first four notes lead the player to believe it's just gonna be another bland upbeat boss theme, until you hear that sweet opening riff kicking off a fast-paced techno version of the epic track we know and love.
  • There's even a "Windows sounds" version.
  • Gourmet Race Stage 2, commonly nicknamed "The Second Helping" by fans. While not as popular as the other one, it still manages to be just as amazing.
  • The Orchestral Game Concert 5 version takes "epic" to a whole new level.
  • From OC Remix, The Over Clocked Plaid Muffins have a fantastic ska remix of "Gourmet Race" with great vocals and lyrics: Ska Buffet.
  • Then someone did it with Chopsticks and a LOT of audio mixing.
• Both Halberd themes (Boarding the Halberd and Havoc aboard the Halberd) perfectly befit scaling a gigantic warship, trying to survive against its defenses. Both of them sound quite identical to one another, to the point where they can even serve as two separate parts of one whole track.
  • vs Meta Knight is one of the tenser boss themes in the series, and no doubt one of the most famous, thanks to its high speed, menacing tone befitting a honorable warrior, and its startling resemblance to Ridley's theme.
  • Escape The Halberd is absolute primal terror made into musical form.
  • Revenge of Meta Knight's ending theme, "My Friend and the Sunset" would not sound out of place in a old Spaghetti Western flick.
  • GaMetal has done a medley of the Halberd themes (based off the Brawl mix), the Meta Knight boss theme, and the credits theme.
• The ending theme for the Revenge of the King is a counterpart to "My Friend and the Sunset". It's Dedede's boss theme, played in a style similar to "My Friend and the Sunset" (but even more somber) during what has to be the most major Tear Jerker of the game and really helps evoke the emotion during the cutscene of King Dedede walking off into the sunset in defeat with his Waddle Dees still sticking by him loyally.
• The epic Marx battle theme, which has become probably the most famous final boss theme in the series outside of King Dedede's theme with its ominous orchestra and its vortex of uncommon time signatures worthy of a progressive rock band.^note In case you're wondering, the sequence is: 4 measures of 3/4 for the intro, then 1 measure of 13/8 (7+6), 1 measure of 9/8 (7+2), 1 measure of 6/8, 2 measures of 5/8, and two measures of 6/8.
  • Made better in Super Star Ultra.
  • The epic sweetness of this tiny piece of music that plays during the cutscene after the Marx battle ranks way up there, too (It is followed by the normal "credits" music). That first bendy note that plays right on time with a huge, screen-whiteout (albeit SNES or DS-grade) explosion is just sweet.
• The credits music. If you think that's beautiful, check out the Acoustic version.
• This delightfully creepy "Final Four" theme from Ultra's True Arena.
  • True Arena Showdown, like everything else about The True Arena, cranks Arena Showdown Up to Eleven. Now in Triple Deluxe Form!, Now with more Metal!
  • New to Kirby Super Star Ultra, the Spring Breeze title theme, a remix of the Kirby's Dream Land title theme, the first theme in the series, epic enough to be featured in the trailer.
  • Kirby Super Star Ultra in general has some brilliant music, such as Galacta Knight's theme The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy and Flying Fortress, Kabula.
    • Speaking of Galacta Knight, what about this epic remix? You could play it at a rave party and nobody would realize it was from Kirby.
    • GaMetal's progressive metal remix will get you banging your head when the first guitar solo kicks in.
  • Battle with an Enormous Boss and Heavy Lobster. Two pieces of epic music for some epic bosses.
  • Marx Soul Appears, the tune that plays in the cutscene directly before the Marx Soul battle, is a wonderfully sinister piece that, while foreboding, gets you ready to finish off your True Arena run by wiping out the traitorous jester completely.
• Great Cave Offensive sounds even more bombastic and epic with the DS's sound chip capabilities, practically revitalizing the piece.
• The standard boss music is pretty good, thanks to an ongoing call-and-response with the melody and the quick tempo keeping things tense. It has thus far been remixed at least twice, once for Return to Dream Land with a lot more brass and woodwind, and another time for Rainbow Curse at a slower tempo.
• The official soundtrack concludes with these official boss and stage medleys. The former arranges "Battle with an Enormous Boss," "VS. Meta Knight," "VS. Marx" and "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy" in an electronic style, which perfectly fits the adrenaline rush given throughout most of these battles. The latter arranges "Helper's Rest," "Green Greens," "Peanut Plains," "Sea Stage" and "Boarding the Halberd" in an acoustic style, offering a relaxing feeling.

Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards

• Kirby 64 may be different from the familiar formula, but produces some great tunes on its own. The most famous of these is the Drum N' Bass violin combo of 02's boss battle music in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. Some prefer the Miracle Matter boss theme music. It's Overshadowed by Awesome in comparison, but as a remixed version of the standard boss theme, tribal drumming, a crazy synth lead, and that sweet orchestra hit punctuating the breakdowns, there's a lot to love. Remixes are rare, unfortunately.
  • Go see the Brawl version.
  • Better yet, listen to the Drum-and-bass-y fan remixed version (really, more awesome than it sounds).
  • Try this one on for size.
  • Here's another! (Well, it's actually a mashup between the old 02 music and the new version, but it doesn't detract from the awesome.)
  • And of course this version which gets straight to point.
  • Truly haunting.
  • This version sounds like it came straight from the NES.
  • Cecily Lopez and GaMetal collaborated on a metal remix that's seriously awesome. Be it the amazing mixing and solo work, or the soaring female vocals, with lyrics from Ribbon's perspective that milk all they can out of a fairy wielding a crystal gun, it's great. They released a new version in 2020 which, if anything, improves on their previous collaboration.
  • And for all those fans of Miracle Matter, there is the insanely epic OC Remix.
  • We now have a Planet Robobot version which sounds so official that people have actually thought it was a part of the official soundtrack.
  • ToxicEternity collaborated with FamilyJules7X to create an insanely metal version of the Miracle Matter theme.
• The normal boss theme. A very fast-paced track in a game normally known for its slower pace.
• Ripple Star. Never before had jazz been so dramatic. It returns in Triple Deluxe, remastered in high definition.
• Rock Star, perhaps fitting for the stage's theme, has a quite heavy and fast drum beat.
• Aqua Star is a light, peppy track which even incorporates Float Islands from Dream Land 1.
• Neo Star. Note that this music also signifies that the game is no longer screwing around.
• Shiver Star. Ice worlds have the best music, huh?
• Castle Dedede, a mix of Iceberg and one of the animal buddy room themes from Dream Land 3.
• Studying the Factory, the tune used for the factory stage in Shiver Star, is very memorable thanks to the tonal shift that comes with it.
• Above the Clouds is a charming Butter Building rendition for Shiver Star. It was brought back in Planet Robobot.
• It doesn't end there: Ruins, which is a very mysterious but peaceful track which perfectly befits traveling and discovering ruins of an ancient land.
• Wait! There's more! Down the Mountain Stream, which sounds almost like a combo between "Green Greens" and Dream Land 3's minigame theme.
• On a more tranquil note, Quiet Forest. Shame it was only used in one level.
• Even the minigames have some great tunes, such as the upbeat and fun tune from Bumper Crop Bump.
• Room Guarder, which has since seen endless remixes throughout the course of the series.
• And to top it all off, the credits music, which is a catchy beat that can easily fulfill the player with a sense of accomplishment with having completed another Kirby game in the lineup.

Kirby Air Ride

• The Kirby Air Ride soundtrack needs some love! Here's Celestial Valley and Frozen Hillside, both of which even got into Super Smash Bros. without needing remixes. Checker Knights got in remix-free, too.
• Sky Sands. The remix of it in Mass Attack manages to make it even better.
• Machine Passage, a heavy and yet ethereal techno beat that sounds almost sinister at times.
• Magma Flows, a hectic piece that in any other game, would work decently for a miniboss track, even incorporating bits of the infamous Gourmet Race.
• Nebula Belt is an unfortunately short but climactic orchestral track that, considering modern Kirby games' usage of orchestra, has aged quite well.
• Top Ride's Grass level has quite a catchy tune. Compare the Grass theme to this and watch it blow your mind.

• City Trial (Backside) sounds cool, right from the start. The main City Trial theme is no slouch, either.
• Dense Fog Today is an impressive mix of mysterious, creepy ambience, and an infectious hip-hop style beat that perfectly captures the feeling of riding through the unknown fog.
• Air Ride is also notable for having many remixes of earlier Kirby tracks:
  • For starters, here's the Target Flight theme, an orchestral version of Super Star's Cocoa Cave - while it is slower, its instruments definitely bring back Super Star vibes.
  • Forest Stage is a beat-for-beat recreation of the original version from Adventure, retaining the bizarre tone of it but now adding in a jaunty drum beat.
• Station Fire. The build-up of tension, as well as the resulting climax, are great.
• Legendary Air Ride Machine is overwhelmingly menacing, making it truly sound like a monster of a vehicle has been unleashed - the Dragoon in this case.
• The Main Menu music, following the tradition set by Super Smash Bros. Melee, is magnificent.
• The opening theme, even for a more obscure game like this, is most certainly one to remember - in fact, Masahiro Sakurai had not forgotten about it, having sampled it in Rosalina's reveal trailer in Super Smash Bros. 3Ds/WiiU.

Kirby & The Amazing Mirror

• Forest/Nature Area is one of the most triumphant sounding tracks in the series. Awesome enough that it was the only GBA track to get into Super Smash Bros. Brawl unaltered!
• Moonlight Mansion/Carrot Castle sounds shockingly like Vegetable Valley from Adventure, although it has its own unique motif that sounds nearly as good.
• Cabbage Cavern, yet another remix of Forest Area from Adventure with an funkier beat than Air Ride.
• Mustard Mountain is surprisingly tense and swooping, hitting home the fact that you are scaling a larger-than-life mountain.
• Olive Ocean is probably the funkiest ocean world track ever made, even bringing in some Foreshadowing by having the motif sound suspiciously similar to Dark Mind's theme.
• Peppermint Palace, ridiculously cheerful and upbeat even by Kirby standards.
• Radish Ruins and Dig and Dash, the arrangement from Rainbow Curse.
• The absolute crowner of Amazing Mirror: Space Area, highly majestic and fitting for a space level.
• The final boss's theme, Dark Mind - who also has one of the only unique boss themes in the game, the other one being Dark Meta Knight's theme. While it sounds more mellow compared to other Kirby final bosses, it still has a heavy climactic feeling and gives the vibes that the loser of the ensuing battle will disappear into nothing.
• Dark. Meta. Knight. And what if it was played on guitar?

Kirby: Canvas Curse

• Drawcia Sorceress says hi. There's just something about pipe organs...
  • Bonus points for the pacing; if the player gets all hits in the first two passes, it picks up just as she starts summoning enemies and changing the background color, which makes a nice compliment to it.
  • And Drawcia Soul says REEEEE! There's just something about disharmonious crackling and rapid-fire booping!
• The World of Drawcia, while underrated, is most likely one of the creepiest Kirby tracks ever. Keep in mind that it has only two instruments: ominous choir and beeping tones. And it still sounds haunting as hell.

Kirby: Squeak Squad

• The Squeaks themselves have an outstanding Leitmotif that makes an appearance whenever they show up, with a number of variants depending on the situation.
  • Here Come the Squeaks!, their main theme which pops up when the Squeaks are introduced in the game, and subsequently when they appear after Kirby picks up a large Treasure Box.
  • This theme pops up when fighting Mrs. Moley or Bohboh and is playful and catchy.
  • The appropriately named VS. The Squeak Squad, when you face off against Doc's machines, or big boss Daroach, takes their theme and makes it more fitting of a full boss than the sillier boss theme.
  • Their theme becomes extremely rockin' in its Super Smash Bros Brawl rendition. And it has extremely stiff competion in that game alone.
• Gamble Galaxy's third theme is unofficially, yet somehow appropriately referred to as "The Hero of Dream Land". And for a good reason: You're about to save the world from a piece of Dark Matter that was sealed away in a chest. As you enter the third and final stage, the music kicks in to tell you that shit is about to go down.
• Guess what came back fresh from Amazing Mirror and Canvas Curse? Yup, Space Area once more in the flesh. Not only that, but there are a TON of old tracks with good renditions for this title. Chances are, you'll be itching to hear all of these old themes on every level once more. One example: their own version of The Legendary Air Ride Machine named "The Legendary Halberd".
• The theme that plays while chasing Dark Nebula with the Triple Star in hand. The way it builds up coupled with the visuals of the level does an excellent job at setting up the final battle.
• Although the Dark Nebula fight itself is exceptionally underwhelming, the tune that plays during it is a high-adrenaline crescendo that really captures the essence of the conflict between Kirby and the Lord of The Underworld.
• The music for Ice Island conveys the feeling of strolling along a snowy field beautifully and is really relaxing.

Kirby's Epic Yarn

• Let's start with the remakes:
  • The classics— Green Greens, Butter Building, Gourmet Race, and Ice-Cream Island.
  • Revenge of Meta Knight, and a delightfully piano-heavy rearrangement of Meta Knights's boss theme.
  • King Dedede's theme is back, as awesome as ever.
  • The Kirby 64 Boss Battle theme was remixed for Yin-Yarn's battle theme. And it is awesome. And then it took some Invincible Candy.
  • The Power Up music from the original Dream Land makes a comeback. And it kicks major ass.
  • The level select music for Dream Land, which is a remake of the Ripple Star map music from Kirby 64.
• Flower Fields is the game's signature track, a cheerful tune on just a piano that befits the even much Lighter and Softer nature of this game.
• Fountain Gardens is a charming little track that wouldn't sound out of place in a Disney film.
• Rainbow Falls, even by Kirby's regular standards, is an overtly cheerful tune in which you could find yourself frolicking to the beat.
• Vs. Fangora, while bearing a rather short melody, gives a swooping and exciting vibe to get you ready for the game's first boss.
• Vs. Squashini. Danny Elfman took over soundtrack duties at Good Feel...This track perfectly captures a dark magic show. The theatricality but sinister undertone are quite fitting, and oh so awesome.
• Vs. Hot Wings is theatrical and thrilling, befitting a boss quite literally Playing with Fire. And now, Kirby's Riverdance!
• Vs. Kracko is just a simple, seconds-long tune on an infinite loop. It's still good, and very reminiscent of something straight from Gradius or Parodius.
• Big Bean Vine is perhaps one of the calmest and most peaceful Kirby tracks, period - so much so it would befit a game like Gran Turismo 4, much less Kirby.
• Cool Cave takes the odd combination of piano and maracas...and masters it beautifully.
• Dusk Dunes has some of the best piano playing in the series, shown immediately by the intro and only escalating from there.
• Tube Town is a nice techno/piano mix that definitely gives off the feeling that you're in a futuristic space station.
• Outer Rings immediately explodes with happiness with the first note, and keeps on with it the whole rest of the way through, remixing "Flower Fields" into an upbeat, uplifting piece.
• Lava Landing may make you seriously consider taking piano lessons.
• Melody Town is, once more, a piano-exclusive piece that works wonderfully with the level - able to give you Winnie-the-Pooh vibes from how cheery and humble it is.
• Weird Woods, despite the name, is a surprisingly peaceful and content track for a forest level, with notable similarities to the My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic theme.
• On the calmer side of awesome, there's the music played in Kirby's Pad. Very soothing and calm, and makes for an excellent lullaby if you have trouble sleeping at night.
• Snowy Fields can almost immediately throw you into the Christmas mood.
• Frosty Wheel is ironically soothing and tranquil for a level which is considered That One Level for a few.
• Mt. Slide perfectly encapsulates how it is to slide down snowy mountains - exciting, delightful, and truly thriving in the holiday spirit.
• Future City. A very upbeat and victorious theme.
• Dark Manor is one of the only tracks in the entire game that is not immediately cheerful and cutesy, instead being a regal, mischievous sounding theme that hits home that you're dwelling in a tidied, but creepily-lit manor.

Kirby Mass Attack

• If any of the music reminds you of Mother 3 that's because it's by the same composer, Shogo Sakai.
• The Squeaks make a surprise return, in a helpful role. Whenever Kirby boards their airship to ask Daroach for treasure info, there's a calm version of their leitmotif playing, sounding elevator music. It's actually quite relaxing.
• Tree to Tree is a catchy, upbeat track that's rather unfitting for playing in one of the hardest levels in the game.
• Kirby Collecting is the title screen theme. It sounds like the Kirbys are singing along.
• The Game Over theme is sad yet relaxing.
• Tough Enemy is an arrangement of Dedede's theme, and sounds just as good as always.
• Kirby Quest, a mini game in Mass Attack, has amazing music all around.
  • The Title Screen is amazing right from the start. With an intro like this, you know you're in for amazing battle music.
  • Action Heaven, a remix of Max Flexer's theme from Kirby: Right Back at Ya! The music is every bit as awesome as his surprise cameo!
• A few tracks from Kirby Air Ride were also in the game, such as Sky Sands, Frozen Hillside, and Magma Flows.
• The theme of the Skull Gang, which gets an epic Boss Remix for the showdown with Necrodeus.
• Unrivaled Size, which plays once you get the Jumbo Candy, is a fitting track for when you tear through half the level while invincible.
• Dark Clouds is an ominous track that fits the game's Darker and Edgier tone.
• Night Desert, which plays in some Sandy Canyon levels, has a choir singing along! The vocals sound great for the DS.
• Ruins at Night is a very relaxing and chill track.
• Keeping up Future City's streak of Kirby space levels having incredible music, Off into Space makes some of the last levels in the game truly feel like you're nearing the end of your journey, as well as going on an epic space voyage.
• The main theme for Star Patrol EOS, already one of the more addicting Kirby mini-games ever, makes the experience oh so much more fun and epic.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land

• Road to Victory, the music from the Kirby GCN trailer is just amazing. It was brought back in this game as the theme for normal bosses in The Arena.
• Another Dimension (not to be confused with the final boss stage), for the otherworldy segments where a purple wall of doom slowly covers the area has a frantic yet intense tune.
• The Challenge Stages are the new Kirby equivalents to Purple Coin challanges, right down to the catchy music. Good luck getting those Platinum Medals... And for the Item Challenge, you get a medley of Green Greens tunes for music. This tune is also used when in the two HAL Rooms.
• The game included a few awesome remixes of old tracks:
  • Mid-Boss Tower (King Dedede's Theme).
  • VS. Waddle Tank (Kirby Super Star Boss Theme).
  • Heavy Lobster.
  • A Dream of Clouds (Grape Garden). Simply beautiful.
  • Pop Star map, which made many think of Kirby's Dream Land 3.
  • The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy (Galacta Knight). It's even more epic that it was used as a Theme Music Power-Up for when he Turns Red.
• C-R-O-W-N-E-D, the final boss's second phase. For one thing, that violin is godly. And that frantic bassoon in the beginning really gets your pulse racing. And to top it off, you can hear bits and pieces of The Adventure Begins, Cookie Country hub/title screen, main menu/Lor bridge, "Meta Knight's Revenge", and "Green Greens" themes in various spots, too!
• Under My Control, the first phase of the final boss, is also great, having that fast-paced and frantic feel that most other Kirby themes have.
• GaMetal has done a medley of both final boss themes, and words cannot describe how incredible every second of it is.
• In contrast to the final boss, the staff roll, Returning to Dreamland is a very upbeat and calming tune that still manages to sound incredible, especially further on in.
• The Boss Battle theme doesn't exactly scream "beating stuff up", but it's very catchy.
• Bring on the Super Ability is perfect for when you're about to go on a rampage. When used against Grand Doomer, as well as 7-3 (in the Extra Mode as well), this faster paced and more heroic version of the Super Ability Theme, called Ultra Super Boss Battle, plays.
• The Grand Doomer battle theme. Appropriately grand, yet still carrying the Doomers' unusual tones.
• Sky Tower, especially as it plays with a beautiful sunset.
• The Aurora Theme from White Wafers. The chilling wind sound is a nice touch.
• Unlimited Power, from Dangerous Dinner 3. Bonus points for also playing during the movie where Magolor reveals that he was Evil All Along.
• Haldera Volcano, which also plays in Dangerous Dinner.
• Underworld makes swimming through the machinery's pipeline surprisingly unnerving.
• Four-Headed Guardian Angel: Landia is completely different from most of the other battle themes in the game, and given the circumstances of the fight, it's very fitting.
• Complete EX Mode at 100% and you will be treated to a new file select theme that is a remix of Vegetable Valley from Kirby's Adventure.
• Fly! Kirby, the theme of the final level, makes one want to keep charging ahead for the sake of Dream Land. As if it weren't enough, the title screen theme and "Meta Knight's Revenge" are found here as well, towards the end.
• The remix of the Iceberg map theme that appears at the Final Five^note HR-D3, Lor Starcutter EX, Galacta Knight, Magolor EX, and Magolor's Soul. rest area of the True Arena. While a catchy throw-back to a previous final world theme, how tense and sinister it is — along with the backing of howling wind amidst the bleak void — gives the area a foreboding feel that rivals even the Super Star Ultra True Arena rest area for sheer creepiness.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe

• The regular boss music ("Bouncing Boss Battle") is an incredibly upbeat tune manages to set the tone of the game quite nicely as an absolutely gorgeous Kirby game that will certainly be a blast in nearly every aspect. It helps that (aside of the oft-maligned Pyribbit) every boss this theme is assigned to is a complete joy to fight against for one reason or another even when disregarding the great music.
• All the themes for the final bosses: From the organ and guitar combo of Sullied Grace (phase 1), to the ethereal piano of "Fatal Blooms in Moonlight" (phase 2, also known as "Moonstruck Blossom") to absolute finality of The World to Win.
• Reflected Laughter manages to be both ominous and wacky at the same time.
• Two returning boss themes: Masked Dedede and Dark Meta Knight.
• Mountains in an Angry Sky. Dubstep in Kirby? They went there.
• Revenge of the Enemy really makes you feel that you're fighting the bosses again, but this time, they're not pulling any punches.
• Four-Way Fight in Coo's Forest from Kirby Fighters remixes the Coo and Rick themes from Kirby's Dream Land 2 into one epic whole.
• Dark Clouds. Wanna hang out in the pre-boss area and just listen to it for a while?
• A Well-Earned Rest, the True Arena rest area theme, an extremely emotional remix of Ripple Star from Kirby 64.
• The theme for Hypernova Kirby is adventure-filled and keeps you going as you effortlessly inhale anything in your way.
  • Hypernova All-Stars is an absolutely epic remix of the same theme that really gets you pumped up as you destroy those pesky minibosses.
  • They then one-up themselves EVEN FURTHER with this remix of the Fountain of Dreams.
  • The version when using it in the Sectonia Fight is also great.
• Ripple Red, an even better remix of the already awesome Ripple Star theme.
• Moonlight Capital, the first new theme in the final world that really drives you to save Dedede.
• Beautiful Prison, which sounds like Kirby meets The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds. It also has a strong Kingdom Hearts Vibe. Sinister Shadows (1000 Heartless Battle), anyone?
• Dedede's Royal Payback, which plays after Masked Dedede Turns Red, is a remix of a remix of King Dedede's Theme, each remix more awesome than the last.
• The Arena and True Arena battle themes from Kirby Super Star Ultra are updated with higher-quality and higher-intensity instruments. Just listen to that guitar.
• Chasing Down the Miniboss. Sure, you'll never hear more than maybe twenty seconds of it, but it's actually nearly a full minute long and is insanely catchy later on.
• The music in Old Odyssey Stage 5, despite only playing in one stage, gives this feeling of a casual stroll on a snowy mountain and sounds really relaxing.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

• What better way to start off the game than The Adventure Begins? Or the Arranged version?
• The waltz version that plays while the game is loading from the Wii U menu.
• Great Cave Escape is atmospheric and funky.
• The boss theme sounds like something out of Mega Man. There are three different arrangements: That Stubborn Tree!, Red-Hot Battle!, and Undersea Battle!
• The Long-Lost Ruins. Epic.
• Rainbow Across the Skies is so happy and bouncy, perfect for a level set in the clouds. It could be compared to Fluffy Bluff Galaxy.
• Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff is truly wonderful.
• Volcanic Panic fits the Rise to the Challenge lava segments quite well.
• Infiltrate the Junk Factory! is cold, dark, and awesome.
• The penultimate final boss theme is imposing but manages to have a light and quiet section, fitting for the boss it belongs to.
• The absolutely beautiful final boss theme.
• A superb rock remix of C-R-O-W-N-E-D. And if you thought that was awesome, try the two versions together!
• Green Greens gets an '80s-style remix.
• King Dedede's theme gets an '80s-style remix as well.
• After all these years, the original boss theme for Kirby's Dream Land finally gets remixed. And it sounds great.
• The Space Area music from Kirby & the Amazing Mirror appears again in an awesomely rearranged version.
• The remix of Coo's theme is too good for words.
• The Skull Gang's theme gets an eerie march-like remix.
• A more heavy remix of Studying the Factory from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards.
• Revenge of Meta Knight's ending theme becomes even better with synth and trumpets.
• The introduction music from Milky Way Wishes gets a lullaby-like remix that's truly beautiful.
• If you think the CROWNED remix is amazing, then listen to this absolutely EPIC remix of Heavy Lobster's theme.
• Remember Sky Tower in Kirby's Return to Dream Land? It's even better now.
• Reflected Laughter from Triple Deluxe gives the track just what it was missing: honky-tonk piano!
• The Revenge of the Enemy remix is so good.
• The Moonlight Capital remix has an absolutely divine saxophone part. Here's a mash-up with the original Triple Deluxe theme. It somehow makes it even more awesome than it already is.
• Kirby Medley is a combination of the franchise's most famous melodies, namely Sky High, Gourmet Race, Comical Stage, and Green Greens. They knew about YTPMV, after all.
• Hey, look! Room Guarder got another remix as the mini-boss theme! And it's positively pumpin'!
• Battle Alone is a really intense soundtrack that is aptly suited for a lone wolf fight.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

• Bright Spinning Planet is notably darker and more foreboding than most Kirby title themes, which fits Planet Robobot's tone very well.
• The theme for the first stage of Patched Plains, "Venturing into the Mechanized World", cheerful and upbeat as always.
• There are a lot of remixes in this game that will stick in your ears forever:
  • Guess which shiny knight in armor with a theme fitting for a rave party is back?
  • Queen Sectonia and Dark Matter return as clones, and they have remixes of their boss themes, to boot.
  • Kirby 64's boss theme has resurfaced once again for 3D Rumble, and it sounds glorious.
  • You know which track is the best for a robot apocalypse? Studying the Factory!^note The game also has "Mad Mechanism", which is "Studying the Factory"'s remix from Kirby: Canvas Curse.
  • Meta Knight's theme from Super Star is back, under the name of Inner Struggle.
  • What happens when you throw Dedede's signature theme and Revenge of Meta Knight's ending tune into a blender, and then set it to both disco rave and orchestra? Dedede's Tridimensional Cannon, the theme of the Dedede clones and their D3 mech. The opening piano chord makes sure you know both the music and the battle are kicking it into high gear!
  • Core Kabula Surprise!, a remix of Kabula's theme.
  • The music for each world's Lab Area tower stages are almost all remixes from prior games. These include:
    • Industrial Laboratory: Float Islands from Dream Land.
    • Residential Laboratory: Sky Tower from Return to Dream Land.
    • Green Laboratory: Desert Stage from Dream Land 3.
    • Neon Laboratory: Dark Castle from Dream Land 2.
• Gorgeous-Go-Round is a catchy theme for the Casino levels with a bit of Comical Stage mixed in to make sure you will never forget it.
• The game's boss rush theme, Pink Ball Revolution, which plays during the boss rush in the last world, as well as the final sequence of the game where Kirby drills through Star Dream, is pretty amazing as well.
• Crazy Rolling in Money, President Haltmann's battle theme, starts with a darker rendition of "The Noble Haltmann" before shifting into a more ominous piece that gets more erratic and crazy as it goes on, perfectly fitting the fight it plays in. When you discover Haltmann's backstory, it makes a lot of sense. Loveless Command also qualifies. For a tragic villain, he has a chill theme.
• As usual, all of the themes for the Final Boss count:
  • The first phase of the final boss, "VS. Star Dream", is a climactic track, that has some extremely striking similarities to "CROWNED" and "Fatal Blooms in Moonlight". If you listen carefully, it even plays parts from "Havoc aboard the Halberd" from Kirby Super Star, which is quite fitting, as you're controlling the Halberd itself.
  • The second phase ("Intermezzo Without a Leader"), on the other hand, sounds calm and ambient, but also manages to sound menacing at the same time. A closer examination reveals that this is 02's theme, sped up and missing its melody.
  • The third and final phase, Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection, is a similarly climactic techno track, being a Boss Remix of Bright Spinning Planet, but one that sounds completely different from the original that sounds perfect for fighting what seems to be NOVA. It helps that "Milky Way Wishes: Shooting" from Super Star is sampled halfway through.
  • The true Arena adds one last phase to the battle, accompanied by this game's own version of Milky Way Wishes: Shooting, named Soul 0 System.
  • Followed up by a rearrangement of "Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection", Vagrant Keepsake of Oblivion for the True Final Boss.
  • The GaMetal version of the three phases from the Star Dream fight makes music that was already epic even more epic.
• Haltmann Works Co. HQ is an epic theme for a final level, including some dashes of Green Greens to pump you up.
• The True Arena's battle theme, Combat Evaluation Program, is a straight-up remix of that the above theme, which is quite awesome. Be sure that you like the theme, because you'll be hearing it for quite a while. And there's also the rest area music for the first 5 rounds of the True Arena, Spinning Planet Complete. A calm remix of the title screen music to accompany the abstract backgrounds.
• VS. The Wicked Company, the main boss theme, displays the game's slightly more serious mood by making The Noble Haltmann sound foreboding, but still energetic.
• Sky-High and Smitten is the smoothest remix of "Gourmet Race" you'll ever find.
• Pristine Office March. Kirby proves it can still do Dubstep remarkably well.
• L86, the theme of the virtual areas in Access Ark. With accompanying background(s) and violins that sound similar to the ones in "C-R-O-W-N-E-D", it makes for a good track to hear, even in the Sound Test!
• "The Noble Haltmann" in general is wonderful. It has a nice somber tune that sets the tone for Haltmann's loss, and you're treated with a music video of it when you reach 100% Completion. Susie wasn't kidding when she said it was catchy.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe/Super Kirby Clash

• Team Kirby Clash Deluxe starts the 25th anniversary with not one, but two different but equally awesome remixes for Green Greens.
• If you go to the options menu and select "Staff Credits", you will be able to listen to a medley of Green Greens and Peanut Plains. It's very calm and soothing.
• Whenever you fight Greater Doomer, an orchestral, more intense version of the Sphere Doomer theme will play in the background.
• For the battle with Dark Taranza, we get a remix of Taranza's theme. It makes for a somber yet intense battle theme.
• The final boss theme, which is an excellent mashup of Masked Dedede and Dark Mind's themes.
• Decisive Battle with a Mighty Boss, a remix of the Castle Lololo theme from Kirby's Dream Land, sounds somber yet climactic at the same time, and makes it feel as if Team Kirby's struggle against the onslaught of enemies is coming to an end. The game designers apparently liked it so much, they reused it for Giant King Dedede's battle theme in Kirby's Blowout Blast, Goldon & Silvox's Soul Melter [EX] battle theme in Kirby Star Allies and for some of the Tougher Story Quests in Super Kirby Clash.
• The Final Boss of the Updated Re-release, Super Kirby Clash, turns out to be Galacta Knight - and, naturally, he has a relentlessly awesome cover of his battle theme, with an even more intense version playing in the True Final Boss fight against him.
• The music that plays during the Story Quest battle against President Parallel Susie in Super Kirby Clash gives this feeling of an intense penultimate battle and it sounds amazing!
• Super has the distinction of having three different covers of Nightmare's theme - the first being a very faithful recreation of the original theme, the second being a darker, more tense version, and the third suitably intense and climactic for the final round.
• Green Tree Memories from Kirby, the credits theme of Super Kirby Clash, deserves a special mention, as it's the first Kirby track with lyrics. It sounds a lot like the opening music for Kirby of the Stars.
• While a fair chunk of the music in Super Kirby Clash reuses old themes while giving them more effects, it does provide some of the more notable boss themes:
  • Grand Doomer's theme returns, sounding even more action-packed and fast-paced than it originally did.
  • Giant Masked Dedede's theme from Blowout Blast begins with an immediate electric guitar riff that makes it reminiscent of Galacta Knight's theme. The rest of the music track does not disappoint, as is really fitting for a Disc-One Final Boss.
  • The menu theme of Heroes in Another Dimension arrives as a battle theme.
  • Deus-Ex Machina the Child Saw and Phantom of the Moon's Spirit reappear in glorious fashion, sounding more dramatic than ever.
  • King D-Mind's theme sounds straight from a DJ in a nightclub.
  • The original results theme from Team Kirby Clash is upgraded to higher quality and extended to give another relaxing take on Green Greens.
  • The Dream Collection CD version of Kirby Adventure's credits marks the final defeat of Parallel Nightmare's schemes.

Kirby Star Allies

• Twinkle☆Stars, the title theme, is a triumphant but very much cheerful sounding track to help you get pumped to save the universe. The Select Screen theme is a more calm arrangement of the title screen.
• Even the music for the Let's Be Friends♡ cutscene with a riff from Kirby Super Star and Ultra before quickly going onto its own separate upbeat theme.
• Donut Dome, the second level of the game, has some great sounding music that wouldn't be out of place in an RPG.
• A Battle of Friends and Bonds follows the trend of catchy regular boss themes in Kirby games with a bit of "Green Greens," the first level of the entire Kirby series dating way back to Kirby's Dream Land, thrown in for good measure.^note You'll hear a lot of Green Greens throughout the game. This second version is heard while escaping the Jambastion and during the boss fights in Far-Flung Starlight Heroes. It starts exactly the same as the other version until the 50-second mark, in which it adds dramatic parts to the music track, which makes it even more awesome!
• All three of Big Bad Hyness' themes reflect his insane and psychotic personality greatly, with his pre-battle theme before you remove his hood giving an eerie presence to him (and his cult) and it's made even creepier by the fact that it is actually a low-pitched, slowed-down remix of the theme for Friendly Field, the very first area in the game. Even then, it still wins points for being genuinely creepy and bizarre.
• Puppet Offering, Hyness' first battle theme, is equally jarring and disturbing, with a hectic melody played with odd instruments. It really does give out the vibe of fighting against someone mentally disconnected from reality.
• La Follia d'amore, the second battle theme used against the unmasked Hyness, is amazing and intense. Special note goes to the wooden drums featured midway through the track.
• The Song of Supplication, the theme that plays when fighting Francisca and Flamberge, is just plain beautiful. It's much more melancholic than most other Kirby themes, and it also gains points for being the first time you hear the villain's leitmotif in full. Forgotizzane Flash of Lightning, the arrangement played for fighting against Zan Partizanne, the leader of the Jambastion mages, is a much more tense version of it that shows her dedication to the Big Bad and that she won't easily give up a fight.
• The remix of Through the Forest from Kirby's Return to Dream Land is a big improvement over the original, being more orchestral and atmospheric. The remixes of Rainbow Resort and Grass Land 4 are also incredibly memorable.
• Nature's Navel and Star Lavadom are two of the most epic and intense themes in the game.
• Aside from being a great tune in its own right, Sacred Square is amazing simply for being the first Western-style track to be in a Kirby game.
• Kirby 64's mid-boss theme gets a relaxing remix for the puzzle room theme. HAL somehow managed to turn an upbeat boss theme into elevator music.
• The music that plays when you fight Meta Knight manages to combine many of his themes from Super Star incredibly seamlessly.
• Jambastion Adventure is a fun and jazzy tune, with an amazing saxophone part.
• Ancient Tower Towara is one of the most grand and beautiful tracks in the game, especially when the drums kick in.
• The theme for the Jambandra Base and The Divine Terminus, Land of Dreams and Greenery's Remains, has an orchestral version of Green Greens that gives it a very climactic feeling as you go inside it.
• As per Kirby standards, the final boss themes are fantastic. "The Star-Conquering Traveler" is particularly good in that it feels like the natural culmination of all the villains' themes, with its length and scope rivaling that of "Dancing Mad".
  • The first movement, Playful Star-Destroying, is equal parts heroic, intimidating, and melancholy, perfectly reflecting the nature of the boss and everything that is at stake.
  • The second movement, The Embryo's Vessel, is packed with creepy synths and choir reminiscent of a beating heart. Fitting, since Void Termina's heart is exactly what you're fighting.
  • The organs and choir that play during the third movement, Wings of Sorrow and the Heavens, are godly.
  • The fourth movement, Hope of Birth, manages to make Green Greens sound incredibly menacing and disturbing, alongside using the theme from the previous three forms. This game really loves making Green Greens sound as epic as possible, doesn't it? It was also improved significantly with the updated version included in Version 2.0.
  • Track 114 in the Jukebox combines all four of Void Termina's boss themes into one medley. It's as awesome as it sounds!
  • The final movement, Sparkling Star, for the fight against Void in Soul Melter EX starts out just like the fourth movement... but after about a minute and a half, it transitions into a surprisingly slow and somber rendition of it. Sad Battle Music is rare in Kirby, making this track even more dramatic. As a bonus, it includes a few bits of chiptune among the orchestra... including for a rendition of Green Greens that sounds almost exactly like the original Kirby's Dream Land version. It's a perfect, yet very conclusive theme to close out the whole game with, considering what you're fighting, and that the entire universe is at high stakes.
• King Dedede's theme is, like always, awesome as hell - and it now incorporates an all-new original motif before transitioning into the classic melody.
• Even the music to King Dedede's castle is awesome. It incorporates both his theme with a handful of the Halberd themes from Kirby Super Star and Ultra as well as the ending theme to Kirby's Dream Land.
• To the Land Where Grass Doesn't Grow, first played in the Jambastion stages, is an awesome tune that gives you the feel that you're actually infiltrating the Jambastion base, just like a later tune played in the game. It later gets remixed as the music for the world map for Far-Flung Starlight Heroes gives it a slightly calmer variation of it that tells you that you can't back up now to save the world while another variation played for it when you're at the Jambandra Base gives it a more eerie and ominous but at the same time, relaxing vibe.
• Blowing Wind on Earthfall is an absolutely beautiful and majestic track that has the autumn vibe that the entire planet uses. It's an extremely calming and peaceful track that temporarily releases your tension from saving the world.
  • Some people have compared it to music from the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, and it sounds a bit similar to the remix given to Bramble Blast in Super Smash Bros. Brawl.
  • As a Youtube commenter says, "A new composer joined the team for this game: Yuuta Ogasawara. He composed this track, and it's my favorite in the game! Talk about a good first impression."
• Caverna's Great Maze, despite Planet Caverna just being a mini-boss rush and mainly using the Friend Star on the Grott Moon, is a catchy tune that like Planet Earthfall, wouldn't sound out of place in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series.
• Butterfly of Judgment: Morpho Knight, the battle theme for the true Final Boss of Guest Star ????, Morpho Knight. When you finish off Hyness, Galacta Knight is summoned and a familiar butterfly flies to him, "creating" Morpho Knight as he proceeds to battle you. It's very intensely fast paced, just like Meta Knight's battle theme from Kirby Super Star and Ultra^note (and its arrangement in Kirby: Planet Robobot) with a deeply menacing tone to it, letting you know that you're fighting against a very powerful warrior made from the strongest warrior in the galaxy and a new foe.
• As part of the 2.0.0 update, the new Dream Friends have their own unique themes when you face off against Morpho Knight:
  • When playing as Marx in Guest Star mode, you face Morpho Knight for the Final Boss as usual. Only, instead of the latter's theme playing throughout the fight, you get to hear a remix of Marx's theme from Kirby Super Star in all of its glory. It's just as badass as before, but this time it includes a full orchestra as per usual Kirby games! Combined with the situation, it hypes you up for the fight and gives you the feeling that you are the boss fight instead!
  • Get to the end of Guest Star with Rick, Coo and Kine and you'll be greeted with this absurdly epic remix of Dark Matter and Cloudy Park, both from Dream Land 2, as the final boss theme. Worth the effort alone.
  • Fight to the end of Guest Star with Gooey and you'll hear a remix of the Dark Matter fight from Dream Land 3, but thanks to the use of real instruments, it somehow sounds even more frantic!
• The 3.0.0 update adds even more awesomeness to Morpho Knight:
  • Getting to the end as Adeleine and Ribbon gives us a remixed mashup of Zero-Two, Miracle Matter, and Ripple Star's themes, all from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards, providing a mix of hopelessness, urgency, and finally, triumph.
  • Getting there as Dark Meta Knight plays a fast-paced remix of Dark Mind's first and second phases from Amazing Mirror. It really does feel like a battle between two legendary warriors.
  • Fighting him as Daroach, on the other hand, provides a remix of the Squeak Squad's theme of all things! It certainly doesn't fit the fight itself, but it's pretty upbeat and catchy in its own right and provides a fun contrast to the other, more frantic or somber themes for Morpho Knight. As with Marx, it makes you feel like you're the boss here, not him.
• The 4.0.0 update keeps adding more awesomeness for Morpho Knight:
  • Go through Guest Star as Magolor and you'll be greeted with a medley of various music tracks from ''Return to Dream Land,'' including "C-R-O-W-N-E-D", Dangerous Dinner, Fly, Kirby!, Limitless Power, The Road to Victory and Sky Tower. Just like Marx and Daroach, you'll feel like the final boss.
  • With Taranza, you'll hear a medley of "Sullied Grace", "The World to Win" and "Fatal Blooms in Moonlight" when you fight Morpho Knight. It feels like it gives a sense of hope for the little spider.
  • Susie brings a medley of "Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection", "VS. Star Dream", and "Soul 0 System" to the table when you fight Morpho Knight. It really feels like Morpho Knight is the final step Susie needs to take to bring back the Haltmann Works Company!
  • The original Dream Friends get a remix of Nightmare's theme from Kirby's Adventure! It wouldn't sound too out of place in a rave.
  • The Three Mage-Sisters get an action-packed jazzy mix of Twinkle☆Traveler, Song of Supplication, and even Caverna's Great Maze, of all themes. It's an incredibly intense theme with brass that will pump you up in the battle against The Mage-Sisters/Morpho Knight EX.
• The second puzzle room theme in the game, played in the final world, is an 8-bit version of Road to Victory, the arena battle music from Kirby's Return to Dream Land (and the trailer for the cancelled Kirby GCN) which, while despite being mostly a battling theme, also doesn't sound too out of place at the same time for a puzzle theme.
• I'll Be Watching You, Always., the staff credits theme for the normal game, is a sweet sounding ending tune that lets you know that Kirby's big journey has came to an end, but it's not all quite over for you yet.
• Best Friends, Tomorrow and Forever., the staff credits theme for Guest Star ??? arranges the ending themes to Kirby's Dream Land, Kirby's Adventure and Kirby Super Star into a beautiful sounding track.
• Memories of the Grand Finale., the staff credits theme for Heroes in Another Dimension's Happy Ending closes off one of the toughest modes in Kirby history with a medley of "Returning to Dream Land," "Memories (I'll Never Forget You)," "A New Wind for Tomorrow" and the Star Allies main theme in a triumphant fashion. It makes getting 100 Friend Hearts throughout Another Dimension all the more worth it just to listen to this music!
• The Minigame results screen music is extremely upbeat and cheerful and will likely make you smile if you listen to it.
• The fanfare for collecting a Rare Picture Piece is an extremely short but triumphant piece of music that definitely feels rewarding to obtain it.
• The results screen at the end of each level where the Picture Pieces get placed into the gallery is a calm and relaxing tune with a rewarding vibe that shows you're one step closer to finishing those gallery images. In addition, if you listen closely to it, it's actually an arrangement of Castle Lololo!
• On the topic of the gallery, the music for it is also peaceful but cheery. It's also played (and more well known) for the fake-out credits in both the main game and Guest Star ????.
• When fighting the parallel bosses in Heroes in Another Dimension, the normal boss music plays...until you deplete their health bar down to half. After that, this remix of A Battle of Friends and Bonds 2 plays which sounds awesome, and gives the great feeling that the parallel bosses really aren't fooling around this time. This version plays during the second half of the battles against both Parallel Meta Knight and Parallel Dedede, which sounds almost like the above version, except that during most of the composition, some snippets of Masked Dedede's theme and the ending music for Revenge of Meta Knight can be heard alongside the melody for the original piece.

Spinoffs/Other Games

• Check out this tune from the Japanese exclusive SNES version of Kirby's Star Stacker. Note how it anticipates the Masked Dedede theme.
• Distant Traveler in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, used for the final two Magolor races. It was later used in Dedede's Drum Dash for the secret stage testing your rhythm skills to the limit.
• The credits theme for Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, Bye-Bye Kirby, See You Tomorrow!, is an amazing remix of the original credits of Kirby's Dream Land with a bit of Sky Tower thrown in. When the 8-bit part fades in, you'll be overwhelmed with the nostalgia.
• Kirby's Block Ball has a few hidden gems, such as Poppy Bro Sr.'s Stage and Mr. Shine and Mr. Bright's Stage.
• History of Dedede in Kirby Fighters Deluxe, which is a medley of King Dedede's various boss themes from across the series. Most notably, it includes his theme from Kirby's Dream Course of all games!
• Dedede's theme from Kirby's Blowout Blast, which, after 20+ years, finally restores the theme to its original E-flat pitch and melody from the original Dream Land, and it's awesome. Even better is the Revenge variation, which takes the newer second half of Dedede's theme and puts it in as well, and it simply serves to make the track sound even more climactic, even a bit sad. The True Final Boss theme, for Giant Masked Dedede, is even better, combining Castle Lololo from Kirby's Dream Land with Masked Dedede's theme from Super Star Ultra, creating a glorious theme, perfectly fitting the game's final battle.
• Kirby Battle Royale gives us the final boss theme, used for the battle with King Dedede in his Dededestroyer Z. It's an amazing remix of his theme, both normal and masked, the game's main theme and even samples Kirby's Triumphant Return at parts.
• Kirby Fighters 2 brings us its amazing main theme, which sounds like a good battle theme as well. The boss remixes that play during the fights against King Dedede and Meta Knight in story mode during Chapters 2-3 and 4-5, respectively, are remixes of that very theme, and they're truly badass-sounding as well.

Kirby: Right Back at Ya!

• The theme song of Kirby: Right Back at Ya! is so fast-paced, catchy and jazz-infused that it gives even The Fairly OddParents a run for its money.
  • The original Japanese opening is adorable and one heck of a catchy tune.
  • But it doesn't compare to the sheer awesomeness of the second opening theme, which starts playing in episode 72.
  • The Italian opening is incredibly bouncy and cute.
• 4Kids also did some magic with a few original tracks. Sadly, Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'s OST was never released, but some of it has been salvaged. Behold, Kirby's English transformation theme.
• Give some props to the original Japanese soundtrack as well, such as Night Mare Enterprises and Monster Delivery, both of which are wonderfully creepy. Quite a few of the tracks used in the Japanese version even found their way into Kirby Air Ride and Kirby and the Rainbow Curse mostly unchanged!
• Destruction! Nightmare's Huge Fortress, a remix of Castle Lololo, actually originated here in the final episode in a recap of the penultimate episode which the theme was named after (the English title for the episode being recapped in question is "Combat Kirby"). It was later ported to Kirby Air Ride, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Kirby Fighters 2.
• Escargoon's theme. You may not be able to think of anything more fitting for the beleaguered snail.

Misc.

• The Kirby Dance. You know you love it, and not just because of Kirby's crazy breakdancing skills.
• Some of the best remixes can be found in the fan albums Concert of the Starry Sky and The Large Concert of the Starry Sky by doujin group salvation by faith records. One in particular is a full fledged original arrangement of the intro to Kirby Super Star: Magical Cosmic Tour by Yamajet.
• One of the contributing artists for salvation by faith records' albums also created this rendition of Zero-Two's theme, which manages to be equal parts frantic and yet majestic.
• A pretty well-known Kirby arrange album, Rise of the Star, has been around since 2005. It's loaded with tons of nostalgia fuel, and every single track is well worth a listen.
• Smash 64's version of Gourmet Race + Drop it Like it's Hot = this awesomeness. Stand back, someone did science to it.
• Dark Matter From Dream Land 2 + Dark Matter from Kirby Planet Robobot = this. If you think that's intense, somebody mixed in the Star Allies version and even extended it to 15 minutes to boot.
• DJ the S's remixes, in particular Ultra Heavy Lobster and Battle Over Mt. Dedede and just go listen to all of them, okay?
• Kirby's Dream Band, while being the only Kirby cover band in existence, makes some pretty kickass covers. Check out their version of Gourmet Race and King Dedede's theme.
• Someone took Zero's theme from Dream Land 3 and Zero-Two's theme from 64, and combined them into one beautiful remix.
• Someone also took Galacta Knight's theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra, and the remix from 'Kirby's Return to Dream Land'', combined them, and extended the end result to a full half-hour. It's just as amazing as it sounds.
• Fly! Kirby of the Stars!, a remix of "Another Dimension" from Return to Dream Land, is an upbeat piece made and sung by Bomubomu.
• Dreamland Offensive, a medley of various Kirby themes, including Masked Dedede and Galacta Knight.
• How can you make "Fatal Blooms in Moonlight" even more beautiful? This is how you do that.
• Mash Miracle Matter's theme with either Galacta Knight or Grand Doomer's theme and you get these two awesome pieces.
• It's hard to go on about the topic of great remixes without mentioning Green Night Parade. The lyrics sounding like a direct message or even prayer to Kirby certainly helps.
• In 2016, Nintendo opened a Kirby themed cafe in Osaka. They also composed a soundtrack or remixes to play as ambient noise at the location (CDs of said soundtrack are available for sale at the location). This includes amazing, relaxing remixes of Green Greens, Ripple Field, Sky Tower, C-R-O-W-N-E-D, and 02.
• Light MetaS made a remix medley of all the tracks played during Star Dream's multi phase tracks, including his Soul OS theme, and it. Sounds. GLORIOUS!
• Somebody took most of the final boss themes throughout the series, and made a massive medley. All of it, especially the Dedede finale, are all done spectacularly. Another person had created their own iteration, which includes later games released after the previous video: such as Star Allies, Planet Robobot and Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. It not only ends with a Dedede finale, but does it using the legendary Fountain of Dreams theme.
• VS. Miracle Matter Clone, a remix so good that it accidentally tricked people into thinking Miracle Matter was in Planet Robobot.
• Some commercials for the games come with some really catchy tunes, such as the one for Nightmare in Dream Land and Star Allies.
• A Japanese Youtuber has made a couple of awesome Kirby medleys which are both really catchy.
  • In 2012, he made one for Kirby's 20th anniversary, and it is wholesome to listen to. It plays every first level from each game that was included. One might wonder why Super Star isn't shown ... until it's shown at the very end representing Green Greens, technically the first level in that game alongside Dream Land as well.
  • In 2018, he made a roughly 30 minute one that includes at least one track from every major Kirby game up to Star Allies. It even includes a final boss medley that includes Marx, Nightmare, Dark Matter, Zero, Zero Two, Star Dream (first and third phase), Magolor (both phases), Hyness, Void Termina, and Sectonia (Second phase and Soul Battle).
• Another Japanese YouTuber took pretty much every single version of King Dedede's theme (even a few fan renditions!), mashed them all together, and extended it to 10 minutes. The end result? Pure dededeliciousness!
• Mixing Zero and Miracle Matter's themes surprisingly results in a perfectly harmonized, intense mix that would befit the return of Zero - or, indeed, him and Miracle Matter together battling against Kirby.
