Air Ride: Frozen Hillside is a theme that starts in D minor. It consists of instruments, such as bells, to give the theme a wintry feel. For a short time in the song, it goes to D major. This part has a beautiful and hopeful tone to it. After this portion, the key signature goes back to its minor counterpart, and has a descending call and response section (that repeats twice), and the song loops. | Air Ride: Frozen Hillside is a theme that starts in D minor.

"Air Ride: Frozen Hillside" (capitalized as "Air Ride: FROZEN HILLSIDE" in the Sound Test, and occasionally simply called "Frozen Hillside") is a theme that originated from the Japanese version of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, before appearing in the Kirby games starting with Kirby Air Ride. It can be heard in the race track of the same name, and was composed by Shogo Sakai.

This part has a beautiful and hopeful tone to it.
