"Haltmann Works Co. HQ" is an arrangement of "The Noble Haltmann" from Kirby: Planet Robobot which acts as an alternate form of the motif.
Composition
"Haltmann Works Co. HQ" is a fast but wary theme which uses the first four notes of "The Noble Haltmann" a number of times with various improvisations filling the in-betweens. It is then followed by "Green Greens" and a particular spin on "Bright Spinning Planet", with the motif from "Road to Victory"/"Sky Tower" making a surprise appearance quietly at the very end of the track before it loops back.
"Combat Evaluation Program" is a fairly straightforward remix of "Haltmann Works Co. HQ", with the only major difference being what instruments are used.
"Pink Ball Revolution" is similar in nature, but features several unique parts and a furious, urgent tone as opposed to the relative calm of its parent theme. The track opens with a fast "The Noble Haltmann" on an electric guitar, after which "Bright Spinning Planet" comes in rapidly just ahead of "Haltmann Works Co. HQ". "Green Greens" arrives again, followed by a reprise of something between "The Noble Haltmann" and "Haltmann Works Co. HQ". "Bright Spinning Planet" and "The Noble Haltmann" return simultaneously, a little quieter, before the track loops from the first instance of "Bright Spinning Planet".
Game appearances
Kirby: Planet Robobot
"Haltmann Works Co. HQ" first plays in Access Ark - Stage 1 after entering the Access Ark itself. It plays in various locations throughout the Access Ark after this. In the Jukebox, it is Track 081.
"Pink Ball Revolution" plays in Access Ark - Stage 5 after donning the Robobot Armor and then during the fourth phase of the battle with Star Dream. It also plays briefly during the cutscene "HEARTLESS MACHINE", in which Star Dream Soul OS inhales Kirby when he attempts to defeat it the same way he defeated Star Dream before.
"Combat Evaluation Program" is featured in many battles in The True Arena, where every level boss from Meta Knightmare Returns uses it in place of their normal theme. Other bosses, such as Mid-Boss All-Stars and the game mode bosses of Meta Knightmare Returns, use their own music as normal.
