The "TIME BEEEAM!"[1] theme is a short musical arrangement featuring principally in the Kirby Clash games, originally composed by Jun Ishikawa.

Composition

"TIME BEEEAM!" is an extremely simple composition, consisting purely of a piano accompanied by percussion and samples of clock sounds. On the cue of a metallic clang, the piano begins to ascend a C-sharp major scale in a zig-zag fashion (C#-D#-C#-D#-F-F#-F-F#-...) in lockstep with the tick-tock sounds of a clock, accompanied by a lower harmony (G#-A#-G#-A#-C#-D#-C#-D#-...). However, before completing this ascent, the piano shifts to a C minor scale, which it then zig-zags up to G, suddenly resolving to C major. Percussion accentuates the latter half of this ascent, at the conclusion of which is a metallic ringing. The piano then diminishes in rapid but gentle arpeggiation of the C major triad.
