Would you believe if I told you that this song was written by the same composer as the original "Green Greens" song from Kirby's Dream Land? It just goes to show how one artist can have many shades to their own style. In the same way that "Green Greens" is very much a Kirby song, this song is too, yet it seems so drastically different. The darker, more uneasy Kirby tracks have been a staple of the series since Super Star, and the juxtaposition between these unsettling tracks with the bouncier level themes really tends to catch the player's attention, I think.
A few songs ago, I mentioned that I read in a HAL composer interview that Ishikawa (this song's composer) likes to take certain measures of a song and give them a 15/16 feel, or a 4/4 drum pattern during a 3/4 section. I think this song at its core is exactly what he was talking about, and that's what made it so fun for me to arrange. Out of every remix I've done so far, this may be my favorite to date. The cinematic feel allowed me to bring out my 8-bit chaos at its fullest. I hope you get at least a little bit of dread listening to this.
