"Welcome to Dream Land"^[1][2] (also parsed"Welcome To Dream Land"^[1]) is the title screen theme forKirby's Dream Land. While "Green Greens" is usually the piece of music used to make callbacks and represent the series' first title, this theme sometimes fills that role instead. Like all music inKirby's Dream Land, it was composed byJun Ishikawa.
