"Vegetable Valley" is a theme composed by Hirokazu Ando for Kirby's Adventure.

Composition

Vegetable Valley is a theme an upbeat theme with about 180 BPM. This lively song starts in the key of G major with a few chords playing. The first portion of this theme introduces the melody, which afterwards it goes into the second portion of the theme. This portion turns the song into B major. Afterwards, the theme repeats a second time (with a few differences here and there), and the song loops.

Game appearances

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

The theme is used mostly in the level of the same name, although it can be heard in some stages of other levels.

In Kirby's Adventure, a slightly different arrangement of theme plays in the Crane Fever Sub-Game, while the crane is still.

Interestingly, in the PAL region NES version of Kirby's Adventure (also used for the European/Australian Wii Virtual Console), the intro of "Vegetable Valley" is melodically different. While most of the soundtrack is very slightly slower and lower in pitch due to adjustments made for the 50Hz refresh rate of PAL televisions at the time, this was the only melodic change made.

In the Sound Test of Kirby's Adventure, the normal version can be found as Music 00, a version of it without the intro can be found as Music 01, and the Crane Fever version can be found as Music 09. In the Sound Test of Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the theme can be found as Music 02. The Nightmare in Dream Land arrangement was done by Jun Ishikawa.

A faithful arrangement of the theme plays in Plant Plain.

When the "Old School" sound mode is selected, the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land arrangement plays in Ravine Road and Canvas Canyon.
