==Composition==
The Big Forest theme plays at roughly 180 beats per minute in a 4/4 time signature. It is generated within the game itself using the Game Boy's programmable sound generator. It begins with a short introductory statement which lasts about 4 seconds before proceeding into the main portion of the song, which lasts about 44 seconds before looping and is split into two equally-sized verses.

===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
This music appears in the Big Forest stage of ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''. It plays during the introductory cut-scene for the level, leading into the first time Kirby visits the [[Level Hub]], and also plays as the default music within the first three stages themselves. Due to [[Coo]]'s presence within the level, much of it is played under [[Coo's Theme]] instead.

===''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse''===
A remix of this song can be unlocked by collecting one of the [[Treasure Chest]]s found in the [[Deep-Divin' Kirby Submarine]] stage, to then be played in the [[Jukebox|Music Room]]. While very similar to the original, not counting the different soundfont, it has some differences, such having as a longer intro, and a slightly slower tempo.
