"Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" is a chipper tune that is normally set in D major, 4/4 time, with a time signature of around 150 beats per minute. It features the distinctive "oompah" rhythm associated with polkas, emphasizing the off beats; this is reflected in its instrumentation, which prominently features electric bass, piano, and flute, as well as synth embellishments.

Magolor's theme debuts here and is primarily used as the [[Lor Starcutter]]'s interior theme, as well as the main menu theme (prior to reaching 100% completion, which changes the music). It also appears as a motif throughout the rest of the game's soundtrack, most notably in "[[C-R-O-W-N-E-D]]", the final boss theme, in which it is featured in a minor key orchestral reprise.
In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'', "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" plays in the interior of the [[Lor Starcutter]], as well as the main menu (prior to clearing Story Mode, which changes the music).


In the remake ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'', the theme also receives several new rearrangements, both by itself as standalone themes, and included  in segments of other new grander compositions. One of them, named '''"WELCOME TO MAGOLAND!"''' ('''"WELCOME TO THE MAGOLOR LAND!"''' in Japanese), is played at [[Merry Magoland]], and is also composed by Hirokazu Ando.
It also appears as a motif throughout the other tracks of the game:
*'''"The Lor Starcutter Reborn"''' — Theme for the cutscene with the same name, borrows elements from "[[Road to Victory|Lor Restored!]]".
*"[[Gourmet Race: Intro|VS Mecha Kawasaki]]" — a [[Scope Shot]] theme. Elements of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" are incorporated in transitional parts.
*"[[C-R-O-W-N-E-D]]" — The final boss theme against Magolor's [[Magolor (second form)|second form]] and [[Magolor Soul]]. Features a dramatic version of the second section of the theme as its intro, its motif inverted for the melody, and the motif proper appearing in later sections in minor keys.
*Cutscene themes: "[[A Visitor from Afar]]", "Halcandra: A New Enemy", "[[Let Me Explain Everything]]" (paired with "[[Four Adventurers: Cookie Country]]" in a dialogue), "[[Each to His Own World]]" (mirroring the start of "A Visitor from Afar"), "[[Return to Dream Land (theme)|Return to Dream Land]]" (at various points with increasing length and role, frequently combined with "[[The Adventure Begins (theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land)|The Adventure Begins]]").


"The Shape of a Heart" arrangement from ''Kirby Star Allies'' also plays after clearing a stage in [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]]. "Interdimensional Traveler" from ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'' also plays in the first few sections of the [[Locandra Dimension - Extra Stage|Extra Stage]] in [[Locandra Dimension]].
In the remake, the theme also receives several new rearrangements and uses as a motif:
*'''"WELCOME TO MAGOLAND!"''' — The primary hub theme for [[Merry Magoland]], a triumphant and rhythmically loose arrangement with an intro and predominantly major harmonies in the fourth section.
*'''"Magolor's Tome Trackers"''' (and its '''Secret Song''') — Theme for the majority of [[Magolor's Tome Trackers]], a ragtime arrangement.
*'''"Magolor's Dizzy-Tizzy Tome Trackers"''' (and its '''Secret Song''') — Theme for the Last Chance in Magolor's Tome Trackers, a faster variant of the above.
*'''"Magoland Results"''' (and its '''Secret Song''') — The results theme for most Merry Magoland games (except [[Checkerboard Chase]] and [[Ninja Dojo]]). A looser arrangement based on "WELCOME TO MAGOLAND!"
*"[[Judgment of the Malus Pumila]]" — Main motif of [[Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler]], features fragments of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" in all sections.
*"Green Winds Remix" — [[Aerogree Dimension]]'s stage theme, a medley of "[[Woods Wayfarer (theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land)|Woods Wayfarer]]" and "[[Beyond the Hill]]" with the motif of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" in between.
*"[[Blazing! Boss Battle|Hot! Elemental Boss Battle]]" — Magolor Epilogue boss theme, an arrangemnt of "Blazing! Boss Battle" with "Judgment of the Malus Pumila" and "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" preceding its climax.
*'''"Found a Fruit Fragment!"''' — Jingle upon collecting a Fruit Fragment, rising variant of thr motif.
*"The Shape of a Heart" (from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'') — Stage results theme for Magolor Epilogue.
*"[[Judgment of the Malus Pumila|Onward to a Pain My Heart Knows Well]]" — [[Locandra Dimension]] stage theme, an arrangement of "Judgment of the Malus Pumila" with heavy use of "[[Road to Victory]]" and "A Visitor from Afar", as well as minor fragments of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler".
*"[[Mistilteinn, Tree Crown without a Ruler]]" — Boss theme against the [[Master Crown (boss)|Master Crown]], includes the second section in the context of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D", as well as the main motif paired with "[[Ordeal (theme)|Ordeal]]" after the "[[Town (theme)|Port Village]]" segment.
*"[[Judgment of the Malus Pumila|Settling a Score - Atone for One's Misdeeds!]]" — Theme for the quick time event when Magolor strikes the Master Crown with his Ultra Sword, has "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" buried under the second section of "[[Welcome Your New Overlord]]".
*"Crossing into the Parallel with You" — Magolor Epilogue [[staff credits]] theme, includes "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" in its place in "Judgment of the Malus Pumila" and the following "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" as well as in the transition from minor to major motifs alongside "[[Road to Victory]]", in the modulating transition to "[[Town (theme)|Town]]".
*"Interdimensional Traveler" (from ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'') — Plays in the first few sections of the [[Locandra Dimension - Extra Stage|Extra Stage]] in [[Locandra Dimension]].
*"[[C-R-O-W-N-E-D|INTERNAL STRUGGLE]]" — Music preceding the [[Magolor Soul]] battle in [[The True Arena]], primarily based on "[[C-R-O-W-N-E-D]]" while using an eerie quotation of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler".
*"The Merry, Magical World of Magolor!" — Music for Merry Magoland after all the missions are complete. Medley consisting of an extended version of "WELCOME TO MAGOLAND", "[[Return to Dream Land (theme)|Return to Dream Land]]" and various Sub-Game themes.
