"TWINKLING SKATING RINK" is a theme fromKirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World that plays during theSign Mouth segment ofFrost Street Snow Park and as track 112 atWaddle Live! Corner Stage. It was composed byMegumi Ohara.[1]

Composition[edit]

"TWINKLING SKATING RINK" is a cheerful wintry theme set in melodic D major and 6/8. It combines "Northeast Frost Street", the theme for Frost Street Snow Park'sstage counterpart, and "TWINKLING STAR SHOWERS", the main motif ofStar-Crossed World, capitalizing on the two's innate similarities and merging their structure by replacing parts of each other. The instrumentation is relatively light, featuring sleigh bells, harp and piano glissandi, as well as slow string and French horn counterpoints. The track starts off with a fanfare-like intro based on "Northeast Frost Street"'s ending that goes up the lowered vi and vii tones of melodic major. The theme alternates between its two components approximately every 20 seconds: the first section of "Northeast Frost Street" played by tubular bells, the verse of "TWINKLING STAR SHOWERS" continued by a piano, then the pre-climactic segment of "Northeast Frost Street" featuring an acoustic guitar and saxophone. An unfinished quotation of the long version of the chorus of "TWINKLING STAR SHOWERS" is played by strings, followed by the guitar solo from "Northeast Frost Street" (here featuring the acoustic guitar) and the return of the chorus with added bells. The quiet ending of the chorus and its extension mirror the ending of the full version of "TWINKLING STAR SHOWERS". The track then transitions and returns to the first quotation of "Northeast Frost Street" for a loop.
