It is in B-flat major, going at a 4/4 time signature at 128 beats per minute. The song is replaced by [[Kirby! (opening theme)|Kirby!]] starting with [[Waddle While You Work]] and persisting until [[Fright to the Finish]]. |

| The primary version of "Kirby ★ March" is sung by a pseudonymous female vocalist credited as "Xiangqi". According to a profile from the March 2002 issue of ''[[wikipedia:CoroCoro Comic|CoroCoro Comic]]'', she is from Beijing, China, and was born on February 17th, 1981 (making her 20 years old at the time of recording). Little else is known about her, and besides singing this song and "Kihon wa Maru", she has no other professional credits.
| |
| | |
| The original Japanese version of the show also featured several other non-vocal versions of this song. One is a slower-tempo track used for the sponsor announcements prior to the episode, called '''"Swing Kirby"''' and another is a big orchestra variation used for episode previews, called '''"Kirby is the Best"'''. The Pupupu Tsushin segments, which showcased viewer-submitted photos and artwork as well as promotional events, almost always used an unnamed variation similar to but distinct from "Swing Kirby".
| |
| | |
| The song was released on the single ''Kirby of the Stars Theme Song'', with "Kihon wa Maru" as the B-side. It was also featured on the album ''[[TV Anime Kirby of the Stars Original Soundtrack]]'', and as a bonus track on the single ''TV Anime Kirby of the Stars New Theme Song - KIRBY! / Kirby ☆ Step!'' Many songs in the anime's soundtrack are rearrangements of the theme.
