"How Many Did We Hit?" is a simple, triumphant theme in C major. Its main instrumentation consists of a frequent brass-synth section playing a spread-out chord progression of "I–ii–iii–ii" in a dotted quarter beat while also mustering its tonality. Key changing to G-flat major, the theme enters its pinnacle as the brass creates a pinnacle progression with accidentals present, concluding with a subdominant chord before resoluting back to C major, looping the theme.

Composition

Results screen of Ninja Dojo.

"How Many Did We Hit?" is a simple, triumphant theme in C major. Its main instrumentation consists of a frequent brass-synth section playing a spread-out chord progression of "I–ii–iii–ii" in a dotted quarter beat while also mustering its tonality. Key changing to G-flat major, the theme enters its pinnacle as the brass creates a rising progression with accidentals present, concluding with a subdominant chord before resoluting back to C major, looping the theme.

Game appearances

The theme mainly plays in the Guide prior to starting a Challenge Stage and in the results screen of Ninja Dojo.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, the theme receives a new arrangement in the latter which features Japanese-styled composition.

In this game, the theme reprises its role as a Guide theme, specifically in the New Challenge Stages game mode, although it does not play for every challenge of said mode.
