"Ninja Dojo - Title" is a theme fromKirby's Return to Dream Land and itsremake that plays as the title screen of theNinja Dojo. It was composed byJun Ishikawa.^[1]

Composition[edit]

"Ninja Dojo - Title" is a relatively short theme in C minor pentatonic and 4/4. It is largely similar to the "Mini-Game" theme fromKirby's Dream Land 3, with changes to fit the minor pentatonic for the majority of the piece, thus bringing it close to another variant of "Mini-Game": "Battle with Friends: Waddle Dee". In contrast to said themes, "Ninja Dojo - Title" has a generally slower pace, as well as a strong attack and detached articulation.
