'''"The King and the Sun"'''{{title}} is a theme from ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'' that plays during the [[Revenge of the King]] [[staff credits]] cutscene. It serves as a parody version of the similarly named "[[My Friend and the Sunset]]".

==Composition==
[[File:KSSU The Revenge screenshot outro.png|thumb|200px|left|The dejected King and Waddle Dees walk by the setting sun.]]
"The King and the Sun" is an arrangement of "[[King Dedede's Theme]]", stylized to sound like "[[My Friend and the Sunset]]", capitalizing on their innate similarity. As such, it is set in A minor and 6/8 time, and has similar instrumentation. It features a descending variant of the intro and accompaniment from "My Friend and the Sunset", followed by the second ("[[Peanut Plains (theme)|Peanut Plains]]") section of "King Dedede's Theme". Near its latter half, the theme diverges and resolves to tonic. From here, the first section of "King Dedede's Theme" continues. It gives way to a final section close to the second elemnt of "My Friend and the Sunset" and diverged second phrase from "King Dedede's Theme". This stays in a prolonged dominant before looping.

==Game appearances==
===''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===
In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', the theme plays during the cutscene "The King and the Sun" at the end of [[Revenge of the King]], which can be found as track 088 in the [[Jukebox/Kirby Super Star|Sound Test]]. A short version of this theme serves as the title theme of the same game mode, mirroring "[[Revenge of Meta Knight: Title]]" in its jingle-like nature, found in the Sound Test as track 085. The title screen version was arranged by [[Jun Ishikawa]].<ref name="triple deluxe">''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' [[Jukebox/Kirby: Triple Deluxe|Jukebox]]</ref>

===''Kirby: Triple Deluxe''===
In ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'', a jingle derived from "The King and the Sun" (similar to the Revenge of the King title theme) plays whenever King Dedede enters a [[Warp Hole]] shortcut in [[Dededetour!]]. This version is titled '''"Royal Warp"'''<ref name="ktdost">''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe Soundtrack]]''</ref> and was arranged by [[Hirokazu Ando]].<ref name="triple deluxe"/>

Additionally, the original version of the Revenge of the King title screen jingle plays upon clearing a level or getting a [[Game Over]] in Dededetour!.

===''Kirby Fighters Deluxe''===
In ''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'', "Royal Warp" plays on the splash screen before fighting [[Team DDD]].

===''Kirby Fighters 2''===
In ''[[Kirby Fighters 2]]'', a faithful arrangement of "The King and the Sun" appears alongside "[[Kirby Fighters 2: The Destined Rivals]]" as the true ending [[staff credits]] cutscene. A major variation with its characteristic rhythm plays during the epilogue of the Final Chapter of [[Story Mode: The Destined Rivals]] alongside the game's aforementioned leitmotif and "[[My Friend and the Sunset]]".
