"King Dedede's Theme", also known as "Mt. Dedede", the "Tower of Midbosses" theme, or just "Dedede's Theme" for short, is a musical piece composed by Jun Ishikawa which first appeared in Kirby's Dream Land. As the name implies, this is King Dedede's primary theme, though this was not strictly the case until later in the Kirby series, as Dedede has been associated with other themes in the past. It's one of the most well-known songs from the series, and it often appears alongside the Gourmet Race theme. It has reappeared in many titles since Kirby's Dream Land, with several changes, rearrangements, and remixes along the way; it has also appeared outside of the video games, such as in the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert and The Sound of Kirby Café 2.
The theme generally consists of two sections, though the second didn't make an appearance until Kirby Super Star. The original one-part version from Kirby's Dream Land has a higher key than most later remixes, which are based on the full version from Kirby Super Star. In Kirby Star Allies, a brand new segment is included before the usual two parts, which doubles the song's length; this addition is kept for Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
