"Egg Engines" is thelevel hub theme ofthe level with the same name inKirby's Return to Dream Land andKirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. This theme was composed byJun Ishikawa[1] and can be found as the 54th theme in the original game'sSound Test and the 103rd theme in the remake's Jukebox.

Composition[edit]

Kirby about to enter the first stage of Egg Engines.

"Egg Engines" is a theme in the key of D minor. To match with the theme of its level, the theme has mechanical-like percussion and eight-note rhythm played by deep string instruments in the background. The theme starts with an upbeat, and then has a call and response part for 16 measures (played by a chime like and woodwind like instrument, respectfully). After the call and response part, some vocals and synth can be heard (along with some piston-like sounds) can be heard. The portion after this contains a piano solo that first starts playing various chords, then starts improvising a bit. Not too long afterwards, some heavy instrumentation can be heard, and the song then loops.
