| | |
| '''"The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy"''' is the theme song of [[Galacta Knight]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]''. The track has since been rearranged in three subsequent games: once in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', once in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', and twice in ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]''. It is one of the heaviest music tracks in terms of intensity and instrument speed in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. | | It has been remixed in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''.

| |
| "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy" is a fast and energetic heavy metal piece in D minor. It starts with a sustained A minor chord. The pace is set by a cymbal, and the main part begins. The bassline is remarkably similar to "[[VS. Meta Knight]]". There is no single defined melody, and all diversity comes from the modification of the rhythmical pattern. At first, there are rapid sixteenth notes on the second beat, then followed by a moderate pace, which in turn changes to a more frantic one. Halfway through the track, a solo electric guitar has a bright descending improvisational passage. After this, the rhythmical phrases become significantly shorter, gaining new melodic properties. For some time afterwards, there is no noticeable change in pitch. Then, the original rhythmical pattern returns, and the track loops.

| | ===''Kirby: Planet Robobot''=== |
| | Galacta Knight returns again as the final boss of [[Meta Knightmare Returns]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. He is also fought by [[Kirby]] in [[The True Arena]]. |

| |
|
| ==Other appearances==
| | In Galacta Knight's first phase, [[Grand Doomer]]'s boss battle theme from ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' is used. |
| "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy" is featured at the end of the bonus track '''ボスバトルメドレー／エレクトロニックver.''' (''Boss Battle Medley / Electronic Ver.'') from the ''Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Soundtrack'', which was arranged by Jun Ishikawa.
| |
|
| |
|
| In ''[[The Sound of Kirby Café 2]]'', the theme is incorporated into track 5, titled "Coffee Shop of Twilight and Starry Skies". This version, a medley with "[[My Friend and the Sunset]]", is arranged by [[Megumi Ohara]] and features a gentler, jazzy style with flute and piano. | | In Galacta Knight's second phase, his theme finally plays, but now remixed in an even more techno style. It's also arranged by [[Jun Ishikawa]] and titled '''時巡る銀河最強の戦士''' ''(The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy That Patrols the Time)'' in the Japanese soundtrack. |
|
| |
|
| The theme was performed live at the [[Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival]] as part of ''The Knights' Revenge Medley'', along with "Revenge of Meta Knight: Title", "[[VS. Meta Knight]]", "[[Dark Meta Knight (theme)|Dark Meta Knight]]", and "[[Butterfly of Judgment: Morpho Knight|Morpho Knight]]".
| | This version can be found as Track 153 in ''Planet Robobot'''s [[Sound Test]]. |

| ==Trivia== | | ===''Kirby Star Allies''=== |
| *Galacta Knight's Japanese [[Boss#Boss Caption|Boss Caption]] on his ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' splash screen, '''{{furi|時巡|ときめぐ}}る{{furi|戦士|せんし}}''' ("Time-Crossing Warrior"), is a reference to the ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'' remix's Japanese title.
| | {{spoilers}} |
| *''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'' features a drum track in the [[Colosseum]]'s waiting room for the Meta Knight Cup, "Waiting Room", that plays a similar pattern of snares to the first section of instrumentation of "The Greatest Warrior in the Galaxy".
| | Galacta Knight appears at the end of [[Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go!]] in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' to serve as the final boss. However, before he gets the chance, a strange butterfly lands on his lance and absorbs him, creating a new swordsman called [[Morpho Knight]]. As a result, Galacta Knight is never fought in ''Star Allies''. |
|
| |
|
| ==Names in other languages==
| | During Galacta Knight's cutscene in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go, ''Return to Dream Land'''s version of his theme is used. This full track can still be found as Track 140 in ''Star Allies'' [[Sound Test|Sound Room]] as of Version 2.0.0. |
