"Start Stage" is a relatively short track, completing a full loop in just under 20 seconds. It features a high-tone piano-like synth for its main progression, backed up by a supporting bass line, an airy angelic background pad, and a light amount of percussion. The track plays in a 3/4 time signature, with the last measure slowing down slightly in tempo before looping. Later adaptations of "Start Stage" typically eschew the main high-tone instrument with an actual piano. | "Start Stage" is a relatively short track, completing a full loop in just under 20 seconds.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', a rearrangement of "Start Stage" is used as the menu music for [[Crackity Hack]] in [[Merry Magoland]]. This version features punchier-sounding percussion and some electric guitar riffs to fit with the [[Sub-Game]] it's been paired with. This version of the song is titled "Crackity Hack - Title", and can be found as Track 75 in the Jukebox. It features white notes in the Jukebox, meaning it could have been arranged by either [[Kiyoshi Hazemoto]] or [[Yuki Kato]]. | In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', a rearrangement of "Start Stage" is used as the menu music for [[Crackity Hack]] in [[Merry Magoland]].
