"Insane"^{[derived from Japanese]} is a music track that first appeared in theGame Boy version ofKirby's Star Stacker, though it is better known from the version first heard in theSuper Famicom version ofKirby's Star Stacker, named"VS. Chef Kawasaki".^[2] It's a somewhat frantic theme, and due to its inclusion in the latter of the two games, it has become loosely associated withChef Kawasaki.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy / Super Famicom)[edit]

InKirby's Star Stacker and itsremake for the Super Famicom, "Insane" and "VS. Chef Kawasaki" can heard in a couple shared instances throughout both games. In the Round Clear mode, it plays during every level in the Insane difficulty. It also plays during the Challenge mode, when the player has accumulated between 800 to 1000 stars. Exclusively in the Super Famicom version, however, it also plays during the battle with Chef Kawasaki during theStory Mode.

The rearranged track from the Super Famicom version was done byJun Ishikawa.^[3]

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition[edit]

InKirby's Dream Collection Special Edition, "VS. Chef Kawasaki" plays when viewing theKirby's Star Stacker (Super Famicom) section. However, because the Super Famicom version of the game never got officially localized and released outside of Japan at the time, this song and the section it plays in are only present in the Japanese version ofKirby's Dream Collection.

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

InKirby: Planet Robobot, "VS. Chef Kawasaki" can be heard inResolution Road - Stage 6 EX, specifically during the two parts of the stage that take place in the casino. It can also be heard as Track 115 in theJukebox.

Kirby's Dream Buffet[edit]

InKirby's Dream Buffet, a fast-paced remix medley of both "Insane" and "Vs. Gryll" can be heard occasionally duringBattle Royale matches. This arrangement is called "It's So Exciting!",^[4] and was done byMegumi Ohara.^[5]

Other appearances[edit]

On theKirby's Star Stacker Original CD Masters album, composer Masahito Nakano rearranged "Insane" with new instrumentation. It can be found as track 17 and is titledめちゃすご. Translated, it means "Very Cool", which is the name of the Insane difficulty in the Japanese version ofKirby's Star Stacker.

On theKirby Memorial Arrangements album, "Insane" was remixed in a medley alongside "Sky Courses" fromKirby Tilt 'n' Tumble. It is titled "Star Tumble" and can be found as track 4, having been arranged by Jun Ishikawa.

"Insane" was rearranged again inThe Sound of Kirby Café 2, packaged in a medley alongside "King Dedede's Theme", specifically the version fromKirby's Star Stacker for the Super Famicom. It's listed as 王様きらきらフルコース (The King's Sparkling Full Course) and can be found as track 6. This version was also arranged by Jun Ishikawa.
