This article is about the "Floral Fields" theme, and should not be confused with the"Flower Fields" theme orFloria Fields.

"Floral Fields" is a theme composed byJun Ishikawa forKirby: Triple Deluxe. It's heavily associated with the first level of the game,Fine Fields, and it contains two of the game's main motifs.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]

Kirby: Triple Deluxe marks the theme's debut and is used inFine Fields - Stage 1,Fine Fields - Stage 2,Old Odyssey - Stage 1, andRoyal Road - Stage 3 (before gettingHypernova). It is also used for theFlower LandBattle Stage in theKirby FightersSub-Game. It appears as Track 5 in theJukebox and Track 03 onKirby: Triple Deluxe Soundtrack.

Additionally, parts of "Floral Fields" are featured as motifs in several tracks:

• "Waking to a Flowery Coup!" — opening cutscene theme and track 2. A B major version of the first section of "Floral Fields" plays near the start as Kirby's everyday life is showcased.
• "Hypernova Inhale" and "Hypernova All-Stars" — themes forHypernova Kirby, tracks 6 and 93, respectively. Shortened arrangements of "Floral Fields" with additional elements, which are then further developed as independent motifs.
• "The Cave in the Sky" — stage theme forFine Fields - Stage 2 andOld Odyssey - Stage 3, track 8. The third section of "Floral Fields" is used as the contrasting second section here.
• "Chasing Down the Miniboss" —mid-boss battle andBoss intro theme, track 10. It has a short intro based on the third section of "Floral Fields".
• "Bouncing Boss Battle" —Boss battle theme and track 15. A rapid and dramatic G minor arrangement of "Floral Fields" with a distinct intro and second section.
• "Taranza, the Master of Puppetry" — theme for the cutscene "Taranza, the master of puppetry" and track 95. A rhythmically varied C minor version of the first section of "Floral Fields" serves as the second section.
• "Divine Beauty" — theme for the cutscene "Divine beauty" and track 98. A heavily modified variant of the first section of "Floral Fields" opens up the track, later growing into "Kirby's Triumphant Return".

Kirby Fighters Deluxe[edit]

As Flower Land now uses theKirby's Return to Dream LandItem Challenge arrangement of "Green Greens", "Floral Fields" is instead used for theWaddle Dee Train Tracks Battle Stage inKirby Fighters Deluxe.

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe[edit]

InDedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, a slow paced arrangement of "Floral Fields" plays in thestage of the same name.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

The original theme plays in theCopy Ability Room inKirby: Planet Robobot, and can be found as track 100 in the game'sJukebox.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe[edit]

InTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe, "Floral Fields" (as heard in "FLOWERED" from its game of origin) is paired with theTown theme for the ending cutscene music.

Kirby's Blowout Blast[edit]

InKirby's Blowout Blast, a slow paced arrangement, similar to the one fromDedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, plays as a bonus theme in the plaza after scanning theWaddle Deeamiibo. This arrangement lacks much of the percussion used in theDedede's Drum Dash Deluxe arrangement, possibly due to the percussion being used to guide the player's rhythm and as such not needed in a non-rhythm game.

Kirby Fighters 2[edit]

InKirby Fighters 2, the original theme is again played inWaddle Dee Train Tracks, while an arrangement of the theme can be unlocked as the secret song for said Battle Stage after reaching aFighters Rank of Level 92. Said secret song also has a chance of playing in chapters 4 and 5 ofStory Mode and will always play on Very Hard difficulty ofSingle-Handed Mode.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

The original version, named"Kirby: Triple Deluxe: Memorial Song 1" in-game, is unlocked for potential use in races upon reachingGourmet Rank 85.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

InSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U, the original theme is one of many songs available forThe Great Cave Offensive, available by default.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, the original theme reappears and can be used in allKirby stages, Battlefield, Final Destination and their derivatives, available by default from a new save file.

Other appearances[edit]

The theme was performed live in theKirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert as part of the "Kirby Triple Deluxe Medley", along with "Moonlight Capital", "Taranza, the Master of Puppetry", and "Fatal Blooms in Moonlight".

InThe Sound of Kirby Café 2, "Floral Fields" is arranged along with "One of the Miracles" as part of a medley called空と花の香りの思い出 (Remembering the Sky and the Scent of Flowers). It is an upbeat acoustic remix that takes cues from "Dreams and Disappearing Kings" and can be found on the CD as Track 11.

ThePlay Nintendo web gameKirby: Triple Deluxe Match-Up features the original version of "Floral Fields" as its background music. Interestingly, in this game, the intro is skipped, and only the first section loops, with the music getting back to the beginning just when the second section is about to start.

"Floral Fields" is featured in an officially licensed collection ofKirby sheet music published byYamaha Corporation.^[2]
