Town (theme)
From WiKirby, your independent source of Kirby knowledge.
Jump to navigationJump to search
- This article is about one of the main motifs inTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe andSuper Kirby Clash. For theWaddle Dee Town theme, seeWelcome to the New World!.
TheTown theme[conjectural title] is one of the main motifs ofTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe andSuper Kirby Clash heard primarily in theVillage.
Composition[edit]
The Town theme (as heard in its most representative second version) is a peaceful theme in F major and 4/4. It features a melody that is descending in nature, played twice. The first phrase ends with an interrupted cadence, and the tonic is reached by the end of the second playing. The second section features the "Ordeal" motif, which, despite being minor, quickly shifts back to major. The track loops after this.
Game appearances[edit]
Team Kirby Clash Deluxe[edit]
InTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe, four different tracks play in the Village depending on the amount of Gem Apples purchased, each one livelier than the last:
- Less than 50: this version is missing the "Ordeal" motif, and sounds "tinny", as if being played on a phonograph.
- 50-950: presents the two motifs without extra ornamentation.
- 1000-2950: features an intro, richer instrumentation, and a third segment in the form of an extended first one.
- 3000 ("Max Happy Town!"[1]): in G major, has an extended ending and repeated first section with a rhythmical shift which persists in the third section. This specific arrangement is byHirokazu Ando.[2]
The "Town" motif is also present in the "Ordeal" themes, as well as "Heroic Challenge! Quest Board".
Kirby Star Allies[edit]
InKirby Star Allies, "Max Happy Town!" plays as the results screen music after clearingSoul Melter.
Super Kirby Clash[edit]
InSuper Kirby Clash, a new set of themes with a new intro motif and replacing the "Ordeal" motif with a new transition plays at different levels of the Gem Apple Tree in Port Village:
- Levels 1-2: in G major, has a new motif that serves as the intro and counterpoint.
- Levels 3-5: a richer instrumentation with the same structure as the aforementioned.
- Levels 6-9: has a second intro which adds to the polyphony, blurring the tonic.
- Max level: extends the second intro of the previous track.
Additionally, the original themes fromTeam Kirby Clash Deluxe return for the respective levels of Castle Village once unlocked.
Kirby Fighters 2[edit]
InKirby Fighters 2, an arrangement of "Max Happy Town!" serves as the music for the final results screen after completing Story Mode's final chapter.
