"Running Through the New World" is a stage theme from Kirby and the Forgotten Land. This theme is the secondary theme from this game (after Welcome to the New World!), and its leitmotifs appear in many other themes as well, most notably the various World Map themes. It was composed by Yuuta Ogasawara.

Notably, "Running Through the New World" was the first theme from Kirby and the Forgotten Land that was revealed, as it was used in the reveal trailer showcased during the September 23rd, 2021 Nintendo Direct.

Composition

"Running Through the New World" is a rather upbeat, and exciting song. It begins with a piano, and then proceeds with the main melody, which is played by an orchestra containing wood and brass instruments, along with strings.

The variants of this theme follow the same general pattern, though with a slightly different and simplified melody. Each version uses a different set of instruments and supporting effects. The most notable variant in this regard is "Beginner Treasures" (used for early Treasure Road stages) which is an almost entirely electronic and fast-paced version of the song. Another notable variant is "Pitch-Black Horror/Valley", which plays in dark areas in later stages, and has an unsettling minor-key progression with more unique aspects to the melody.
