"VS. Star Dream" is an energetic | "VS. Star Dream" is an energetic and dramatic theme set in 4/4 and actively modulating through various keys. It features several motifs associated with the characters relevant to the battle ("[[The Noble Haltmann]]" for [[President Haltmann]], "[[Havoc Aboard the Halberd]]" for [[Meta Knight]] and [[Halberd Mode]], and "[[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]]" and "[[Kirby's Triumphant Return]]" for [[Kirby]]), as well as its own primary motif representing [[Star Dream]], which consists of rapid rising scale fragments and descending seconds and thirds in quaver-two semiquavers phrases. The theme itself 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, the original motif takes off in C minor and 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. | |||
