| ||||||||||||||
"Bring On the Super Ability" (originally written as"Bring on the Super Ability") is the musical piece that plays wheneverKirby gains aSuper Ability inKirby's Return to Dream Land. The theme was composed byHirokazu Ando.
Composition[edit]

"Bring On the Super Ability" is a theme in 3/4 time and is in the key of C minor. Its melody features an orchestral version of the motif shared with "Sky Tower" and "Road to Victory", other songs fromKirby's Return to Dream Land. Said melody is made up of two sets of three rising notes and a higher note, followed by a descending triad (for example, the repeated ascending notes C-D-Eb-C-D-Eb, then G, then a descending triad of F-D-Bb). Later, the theme borrows brief snippets from "Green Greens" at around 0:25 and 0:36.
