"At the Bottom" is a stage theme fromKirby Mass Attack associated with the underwater areas ofDedede Resort. It was composed byShogo Sakai.
Composition[edit]
"At the Bottom" is an eerie theme in A minor and 4/4. It borrows the motif of "Boss Prelude": the reverberated string melody consists of a sequence of descending major thirds repeating the lower note, with the primary difference from "Boss Prelude" being the extension of the sequence. At its bottom, it revolves around the leading tone and returns to the tonic with a double bass counterpoint. This repeats, and then for the third time, high-pitched arpeggiatos and more frequent double bass phrases are added. The final resolution omits the double bass phrase, instead separating the static main string third and high arpeggiato counterpoint. The track loops after this.
