VS. Star Dream: Difference between revisions

'''"VS. Star Dream"''' is the name of a musical piece which first plays during the first phase of the battle with [[Star Dream]] in ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]''. It was composed by [[Hirokazu Ando]].

"VS. Star Dream" is an energetic minor theme consisting of the themes that symbole the opposition between Star Dream and the now deceased [[President Haltmann]], and [[Halberd Mode]] [[Kirby]] and [[Meta Knight]]. It starts with a slow arpeggiated piano intro with gradually fading beeping noises, based on "[[Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection]]". Following the intro and opening of the battle, an original takes off in C minor, consisting of rapid rising scale fragments and descending seconds and thirds in quaver-two semiquavers phrases. The motif modulates through F, F-sharp and B minor, with a rising counterpart, until this peaks at a C major chord. "[[The Noble Haltmann]]" comes in F-sharp minor. After it plays out, the unique motif repeats its original structure from D minor, and is once again followed up by "The Noble Haltmann", now in G-sharp minor, nonetheless with hopeful yet dramatic major harmonies. On the other hand, "[[Havoc Aboard the Halberd]]" plays in C-sharp minor from Halberd Mode's side, followed by an E minor "[[Kirby's Triumphant Return]]", a recurring motif in final boss themes in an unprecedented key. It does not reach its "[[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]]" resolution yet, as "VS. Star Dream"'s main motif interrupts it to remind of the foe at hand. "Green Greens" does, however, come: first as a chiptune counterpoint, then its middle section, both in E minor. After a brief transition, the piece returns to C minor and loops.
