'''"Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler"'''<ref name="rtdldx">''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' [[Jukebox/Kirby's Return to Dream Land|Jukebox]]</ref> is the musical piece associated with [[Magolor]]. It debuted alongside him in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and often reappears as his leitmotif in later games. The theme was composed by [[Hirokazu Ando]].

==Composition==
[[File:KRtDLD Extra Credits picture 24.png|thumb|left|200px|[[Magolor]] conversates with [[Kirby]] inside the [[Lor Starcutter|Starcutter]].]]
"Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" is a chipper tune that is normally set in D major, 4/4 time, with a time signature of around 150 beats per minute. It features the distinctive "oompah" rhythm associated with polkas, emphasizing the off beats; this is reflected in its instrumentation, which prominently features electric bass, piano, and flute, as well as synth embellishments. It also happens to quote "[[A New Wind for Tomorrow]]" just before the loop point.

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' / ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe''===
Magolor's theme debuts here and is primarily used as the [[Lor Starcutter]]'s interior theme, as well as the main menu theme (prior to reaching 100% completion, which changes the music). It also appears as a motif throughout the rest of the game's soundtrack, most notably in "[[C-R-O-W-N-E-D]]", the final boss theme, in which it is featured in a minor key orchestral reprise.

In the remake ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', the theme also receives several new rearrangements, both by itself as standalone themes, and included  in segments of other new grander compositions. One of them, named '''"WELCOME TO MAGOLAND!"''', is played at [[Merry Magoland]], and is also composed by Hirokazu Ando.

"The Shape of a Heart" arrangement from ''Kirby Star Allies'' also plays after clearing a stage in [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]]. "Interdimensional Traveler" from ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'' also plays in the first few sections of the [[Locandra Dimension - Extra Stage|Extra Stage]] in [[Locandra Dimension]].

===''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition''===
Two new versions of the theme appear in this game, both in the [[New Challenge Stages]] [[Sub-Game]]. The first is titled '''もっとチャレンジステージ''' (''New Challenge Stages'') on the ''[[Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack]]'' album, and plays on the New Challenge Stages title screen and during the [[Magolor Race 1|first]] [[Magolor Race 2|two]] races with Magolor. This variation uses entirely synthetic instrumentation and a more syncopated rhythm, and was done by Hirokazu Ando.

The other variation is titled '''"Interdimensional Traveler"''' (or "Distant Traveler") in English and '''{{furi|異空|いくう}}ヲカケル{{furi|旅人|たびびと}}''' (''The Traveler Across Another Dimension'') in Japanese. It plays during [[Magolor Race 3]] and [[Magolor Race EX]]. This variation is set in a faster tempo and a minor key, but has similar synthetic instrumentation other than including an electric guitar.

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
The "Interdimensional Traveler" variation reappears in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' as the theme of the [[Distant Traveler (Dedede's Drum Dash)|Distant Traveler]] stage in [[Dedede's Drum Dash]]; its fast-paced rhythm makes it suitably difficult. Additionally, the "New Challenge Stages" variant can be heard in [[Fine Fields - Stage 6 EX|Stage 6]] of [[Fine Fields]]. Finally, the menu theme from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' is used as the theme for the [[Copy Ability Room]].

===''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe''===
An acoustic arrangement of "Interdimensional Traveler" featuring melodica and ukelele is used as the staff credits theme upon clearing all of the secret stages. This arrangement actually debuted as part of the track "Dededeluxe!" on the ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe Soundtrack'', where it formed a medley with the other ''Dedede's Drum Dash'' stage themes. It reappears in ''Kirby: Planet Robobot'' in [[The True Arena]], playing during the [[Mid-Boss]] All-Stars 1 fight.

===''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' / ''Super Kirby Clash'' ===
Another acoustic arrangement of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" is used while speaking to him at [[Magolor's Shoppe|his shoppe]] in ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe''. It uses guitars as its primary instruments, particularly ukelele and mandolin, accompanied by marimba and plucked strings. It reappears in ''Super Kirby Clash'', unaltered and filling the same purpose.

===''Kirby Star Allies''===
The original version reappears in ''Kirby Star Allies'' as the puzzle room theme for [[Extra Planet β]] and [[Extra Planet γ]].

A short jingle based on "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" is used as Magolor's [[Dream Friend]] jingle, which is titled '''ブラボー！マホロアがキテアゲタヨォ''' (''Bravo! Magolor Has Come'') on the official soundtrack. The theme's title uses Magolor's katakana-based speaking style. This arrangement was done by [[Yuuta Ogasawara]].

The [[Celebration Picture]] "The Shape of a Heart" features a fuller arrangement of the theme. It uses a slower tempo and gentle instrumentation, featuring a leading acoustic piano backed by Rhodes piano and acoustic bass. This arrangement was done by [[Hirokazu Ando]].

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
Both "New Challenge Stages" and the original version of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" can be unlocked for potential use in races and Free Rolling, the former unlocked at [[Gourmet Rank]] 78 and named '''Kirby's Dream Collection: Memorial Song 1''', the latter unlocked at [[Gourmet Rank]] 81 and named '''Kirby's Return to Dream Land: Memorial Song 2''' in the American English version and '''Kirby's Adventure Wii: Memorial Song 2''' in the British English version.

==Other appearances==
A rearrangement of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" is included as part of the track '''ボーナストラック：4人の仲間と彼方からの旅人''' (''Bonus Track: Four Adventurers and the Far-Flung Traveler'') on the ''[[Kirby Wii Music Selection]]'' album.

The ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe Soundtrack]]'' album includes a track called '''"Dededeluxe!"''', which is a medley that consists of all four themes in ''Dedede's Drum Dash''. The fourth theme, however, instead of being the in-game version of "Distant Traveler", it is a completely new remix of it. This remix was later featured in ''Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe'' and ''Kirby: Planet Robobot''.

For the ''[[Kirby Memorial Arrangements]]'' album, a full big band ensemble was assembled to record exclusive arrangements. One, titled '''"I'll Never Forget You"''', is a medley of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" and "[[Memories (I'll Never Forget You)]]". It was arranged by [[Shogo Sakai]] and extended to include solos for alto saxophone, trombone, and trumpet.

A gentle waltz (3/4 time) arrangement is incorporated in the track '''マリオネットキッチン''' (''Marionette Kitchen'') on the album ''[[The Sound of Kirby Café 2]]'', where it is combined into a medley with "[[Vs. Marx]]". It was arranged by [[Megumi Ohara]].

The "WELCOME TO MAGOLAND!" version of the theme is paired with "[[Scope Shot (theme)|Booming Blasters]]" to serve as the music track for when 50 players remain in the ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' Maximus Cup for ''[[harddrop:Tetris 99|Tetris 99]]''.

The ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' version of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" is featured in an officially licensed collection of ''Kirby'' sheet music published by [https://sheetmusic.jp.yamaha.com/ Yamaha Corporation].<ref>[https://sheetmusic.jp.yamaha.com/products/4947817300908 Yamaha Sheet Music Store] - Product KB24-6208 "ピアノで楽しむ 星のカービィ ～ゲーム音楽セレクション～" ("Fun with Piano: Kirby of the Stars ～Game Music Selection～")</ref> The ''Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' version of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" also appears in the same collection.
