This article is about the theme music for Haldera Volcano. For theBattle Stage, seeHaldera Volcano.

"Haldera Volcano" is the name of a musical piece which first appeared inKirby's Return to Dream Land in the first stage ofDangerous Dinner.

Composition[edit]

Water Kirby narrowly avoids becoming theIron Barbar's dinner.

"Haldera Volcano" is notable in its relatively short but fast-paced melody, set in a brisk 6/8 time signature. It features a largely traditional orchestral instrumentation, with percussion, strings, brass, and most notably a xylophone. The percussion forms a solid rolling baseline for the brass and strings to build a melody on top of, creating an air of urgency to the track that fits the fast-paced nature of the stages it features in.

Game appearances[edit]
