"Bring on the Super Ability"[2] is the musical piece that plays whenever Kirby gains a Super Ability in Kirby's Return to Dream Land. The theme was composed by Hirokazu Ando.

Composition

Bring on the Super Ability is a theme in 3/4 time and is in the key of C minor. Its melody consists of three ascending notes played twice, followed by a descending triad. It appears to have orchestrated instrumentation. This theme seems to appear as a popular motif in this game, an example of this being the latter half of Sky Tower.

Game appearances

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

When Kirby gains a Super Ability, the music changes to this piece until he loses the ability, regardless of the cause. The song is incorporated in the beginning of the theme for the "Final Battle" cutscene, albeit with modifications near the end.

An alternate version plays in the Ultra Sword segment Dangerous Dinner - Stage 3, as well as the Super Ability portion of the Grand Doomer fight. It is named ウルトラスーパーボスバトル (Ultra Super Boss Battle) in the Kirby Wii Music Selection album. This version is higher pitched (performed in E minor as opposed to C minor) and sounds more intense than the original, containing additional instruments, such as rock guitars.

Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition

The "Ultra Super Boss Battle" remix has a chance to play in Magolor Race 3 and Magolor Race EX of the New Challenge Stages mode. In addition, when selecting Kirby's Return to Dream Land in Kirby's History, the original version of the theme plays.

Super Kirby Clash

A percussion-heavy remix of the "Ultra Super Boss Battle" theme plays in the Super-rank Party Quests against Flame Galboros, Venom Kracko, Electric Dragon, Miasmoros and Pyribbit EX.

Kirby Star Allies

The original version of the theme is reused in Extra Planet δ.

Kirby's Dream Buffet

A remix of the theme, based on its "Ultra Super Boss Battle" arrangement, can play as a theme for Battle Royales and is available at the start. It was arranged by Yuki Shimooka.

Other appearances

Both "Bring on the Super Ability" and "Ultra Super Boss Battle" were included in the Kirby Wii Music Selection. In addition, the bonus track ボーナストラック:空の夢と、虹の泉で (Bonus Track: Dreaming of Skies at the Fountain of Rainbows) includes an arrangement of the theme.

"Bring on the Super Ability" was also included in the Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack.
