"Game Over"[1] is a recurring jingle from Kirby's Adventure and its remake that plays when Kirby runs out of lives and gets a Game Over. This jingle appears in many Kirby games of the 2000s specifically. It was composed by Hirokazu Ando.
Composition[edit]
"Game Over" is a short and lighthearted jingle in E-flat major and 2/4. It consists of a chromatically rising bass on a strong beat and chords on an offbeat alternating with increasing frequency, leading through a perfect cadence that ends with descending inversions of the tonic.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]
In Kirby's Adventure and its remake, the jingle plays when getting a Game Over in Story Mode, Extra Mode and V.S. BOSS!/Boss Endurance. It appears as track 11 and 43, respectively, in the games' Sound Tests.
Kirby's Avalanche[edit]
In Kirby's Avalanche, a significantly slower arrangement of the theme plays during the first half of the Game Over screen. It is track 15 in the game's Sound Test.
Kirby & The Amazing Mirror[edit]
In Kirby & The Amazing Mirror, a slightly rearranged version of the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land variant plays when getting a Game Over in the Boss Endurance, the only game mode with such a screen. It appears as track 38 in the Sound Player.
Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]
In Kirby: Canvas Curse, a heavily electronic arrangement of the jingle reprises its function as the Game Over theme, appearing as track 33 in the Sound Test. Additionally, the version from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land (here simply titled "Classic Song 2-23") plays when the Old School setting is turned on, and can be found as track 67.
Kirby: Squeak Squad[edit]
In Kirby: Squeak Squad, a remix of "Game Over" fully reprises its role from Kirby's Adventure. It can be found as track 34 in the game's Sound Room.
Other appearances[edit]
The original version of the track was included in the Kirby's Adventure soundtrack and Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Sound Plus.
