For a very long time, the soundtrack of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' relied on a combination of rough Japanese translations from ''[[Kirby Wii Music Selection]]'', assumed titles based on internal names and stage themes, and so much more. I've theorized that the rest of the conjectural titles were done by uploaders like GiIvaSunner and BrawlBRSTMs3 X when they uploaded the OST to YouTube.
For a very long time, the soundtrack of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'' relied on a combination of rough Japanese translations from ''[[Kirby Wii Music Selection]]'', assumed titles based on internal names and stage themes, and so much more. I've theorized that the rest of the conjectural titles were done by uploaders like GiIvaSunner and BrawlBRSTMs3 X when they uploaded the OST to YouTube.


'''Note''': Based on eyewitness accounts, GiIvaSunner being the earliest uploader of those songs post-release of RtDL on YouTube may have been the first one to use these conjectural titles. It should be noted that more obscure uploads of the songs that are way before GiIvaSunner may have used different song titles and often include beta tracks accidentally mixed into them (ask [[User:Gigi|Gigi]] about it too)
GiIvaSunner was the first uploader of those songs to use these conjectural titles, especially those which are based on internal data names for most stage music. It should be noted that more obscure uploads of the songs that are way before GiIvaSunner may have used different song titles and often include beta tracks accidentally mixed into them.


And by February 2023, it'll all be finally over when ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'' revealed a slew of official song titles and a lot more. Even composers were credited with the colored music notes! Honestly a big day for many ''Kirby'' fans around the world, including me, who was really anticipating to play the game for the first time via the remake.
Some song titles were translated from ''Kirby Wii Music Selection'' by WiKirby administrator [[User:FalcoLau|FalcoLau]] on [https://vgmdb.net/album/33773 VGMDb]. This introduced the first instance of [[Welcome Your New Overlord]] being initially referred to as "Under My Control", and this conjectural translation even still persists at present.


As of February 24, 2023, all songs in the game soundtrack have received official titles in English and Japanese (and other languages) thanks to the inclusion of song titles in the [[Jukebox]] for ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. There are no conjectural titles for the new songs in the latter, as they have been already given official names.

|Used to be the title for so long until Fly, Kirby! was a thing. Note that "[[Another Dimension (theme)|Another Dimension]]" is an actual official song title, but it corresponds to the song that plays in interdimensional segments that is also conjecturally referred to as "Looming Darkness".

|[[Welcome Your New Overlord]]
|[[Welcome Your New Overlord]]
|[[Jun Ishikawa]]
|[[Jun Ishikawa]]
|First of all: Under My Control is a rough translation of Magolor's last dialogue in the Japanese version of the Let Me Explain Everything cutscene. It can be translated as "Fall Under my Rule", but many ''Kirby'' fans use "Under My Control" more until the release of ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]''. We could've just translated it as "Welcome Your New Overlord" and it'd still work, because that's also Magolor's last line in the same cutscene.<br><br>'''Another note:''' The translated title "Under My Control" was first given by WiKirby administrator [[User:FalcoLau|FalcoLau]], from his translations of the song titles for ''[[Kirby Wii Music Selection]]'' on [https://vgmdb.net/album/33773 VGMDb]. A couple of song title translations on the website are direct or close matches with the official translations in the ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe'' Jukebox.

|'''True Arena'''
|'''True Arena'''
|[[Mid-Boss Battle|Challenging the True Arena]]
|[[Mid-Boss Battle|Challenging the True Arena]]
|[[Hirokazu Ando]]
|[[Hirokazu Ando]]
|Close enough, but could be accidentally misconstrued as a title theme for the True Arena, because [[Dangerous Dinner (theme)|Dangerous Dinner]] is used for the True Arena title theme.
|The title is technically correct as it plays in the True Arena, but only on the ability selection room. Road to Victory is still used for regular boss battles in The True Arena, and Dangerous Dinner ("A Dangerous, High-Flying Finale" in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe]]'') is still used for the title screen theme.
