The Very Best of Kirby: 52 Hit Tracks

The Very Best of Kirby: 52 Hit Tracks is a Japan-only omnibus soundtrack CD released on April 15, 2004. It was available as a reward to those who purchasedKirby & The Amazing Mirror and registered the serial code enclosed in the game with Club Nintendo.[1] The album was released alongsideKirby & The Amazing Mirror Sound Plus.
As the title says, it contains 52 selected tracks from various games in theKirby series, ranging from the originalKirby's Dream Land toKirby & The Amazing Mirror. The album's track list was directed byHirokazu Ando and produced byShogo Sakai andHiroaki Suga. There does not appear to be a consistent order to the list, however, as the various games are divided evenly across the album. Official titles are also given, though some were later renamed.[2]
Track list[edit]
The tracks were composed byJun Ishikawa, Hirokazu Ando,Tadashi Ikegami, Shogo Sakai, Hironobu Inagaki, and Atuyoshi Isemura. No specific credits are given.
