| "Pink Ball Activate!" is an energetic 2/4 theme in the Dorian D minor, performed primarily with electronic instruments. It has an introductory segment teetering between C and B. The melody then comes in performed by an electric guitar, each phrase ranging within a fourth. The first phrase is heard again a whole tone lower. The second phrase consists of a descending passage and an ascending sixth, followed by harmonized beat. The aforementioned repeats, leading up to the middle section in E minor. The first phrase now ranges within a fifth. It plays thrice, and the melody revolves around the dominant. The phrase modulates back to D minor, and after the second phrase plays, the track loops.
