- This article is about the boss battle theme from Kirby's Pinball Land, and should not be confused with other similarly namedboss battle themes.
"Boss"[2] is the main boss battle theme ofKirby's Pinball Land. It was composed byTadashi Ikegami.[1]
Composition[edit]
"Boss" starts with a buildup consisting of a drawn out note and rapid percussion, before a few smaller double note hits, similar to theboss theme fromKirby's Dream Land andthe boss theme fromKirby's Adventure. From there, the song becomes a lot more frantic, with the melody winding up and down with trills in a repetitive manner. Supported by a repetitive bassline and punchy percussion, the song eventually jumps from G major down to F major, though without any melodic changes. After two more repetitions in this new key, the song loops.
Game appearances[edit]
