"Blazing! Boss Battle" is a theme fromKirby's Return to Dream Land. It is the primary boss battle theme of the game and itsremake. It was composed byHirokazu Ando.[1]
Composition[edit]
"Blazing! Boss Battle" is a dramatic piece that plays in F minor, at 2/4. It begins with a low-pitched intro that sets the tone. Each phrase of the track plays twice, and each subsequent theme sounds at a higher pitch and includes new instruments. It is full of accidentals, most notably B natural, which accents the dominant, and D natural, which allows for brief modulations. The climax of the piece sounds as a tutti, revolving around a dramatic F. The track loops immediately after the climax comes to an end.

Trivia[edit]
- In the files ofKirby's Return to Dream Land, this song is named is
b_dedede01. This indicates that the song was likely written for a boss battle withKing Dedede; as the final game does not feature a Dedede boss fight, it would presumably have been used in the canceledKirby for Nintendo GameCube.
