The original theme from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' was composed by [[Jun Ishikawa]]. | |||
'''"Invincible Candy"'''<ref name=" | |||
==Description== | |||
In most variations of the theme, a high tempo and swift beat are used to convey the speed and power granted by the Invincible Candy, as the player only has invincibility for a few moments before Kirby returns to mortality. The main motif is a four-bar melody that repeats until the invincibility wears off. Most titles simply loop their version of the four-bar melody with no variation, although starting in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', some notes in the song are altered when the melody repeats, making the loop slightly longer. This practice comes to a head in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', where the song doesn't loop until after 16 bars (four variants) have played. | |||
While most games in the series use the same motif, the Invincible Candy themes in ''[[Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards]]'' and ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' are entirely original songs, with the latter being composed by [[Shogo Sakai]]. The Invincible theme in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'' similarly uses a four-bar melody, using a more powerful tone than speedy. On the other hand, in contrast with most previous Invincible Candy themes, ''Kirby Mass Attack'' uses an eight-bar melody playing at a noticeably lower tempo. This version of the Invincible Candy theme goes for a more chipper and calm tone, compared to the more frantic and speedy tone that most other Invincible Candy themes display, most likely to coincide with the calmer nature of ''Kirby Mass Attack''. | |||
== | ==Trivia== | ||
An unnamed and unreleased music track used in a number of episodes of the Japanese run of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', including [[Dedede's Pet Threat]] and [[Waddle While You Work]], features a slowed-down lighthearted variation | *Also featured in ''Kirby Mass Attack'' is the [[Jumbo Candy]], a massive variation of the Invincible Candy, that also has its own theme unique from the existing Invincible Candy theme. This also makes this the only game with two unique Invincible Candy themes. | ||
*In [[Kirby Fighters]], obtaining the Invincible Candy plays the Invincible theme from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' instead of the new Invincible theme featured in the rest of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. This makes it one of the few games to feature multiple variants of the theme. | |||
*Outside of the listed songs, the Invincible Candy leitmotif also appears in the [[Kirby's Block Ball - Stage 1|Stage 1]] music of ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', the credits theme from ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' and [[A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World]] in ''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''. | |||
*No invincibility theme plays in ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', even though the Invincible Candy appears as an item. | |||
*An unnamed and unreleased music track used in a number of episodes of the Japanese run of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', including [[Dedede's Pet Threat]] and [[Waddle While You Work]], features a slowed-down lighthearted variation on the Invincible Candy motif. | |||
