"INTERNAL STRUGGLE" redirects here. For information about a very similarly named theme called "Inner Struggle", see "VS. Meta Knight".

"CROWNED" (also parsed "C-R-O-W-N-E-D") is a musical piece composed by Hirokazu Ando and serves as the battle theme of Magolor's second form, the final boss in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and of Magolor Soul, the final boss of that game's Extra Mode.

Composition

"CROWNED" is an orchestral track composed of three sections.

• Section 1: main theme with elements of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler"
• Section 2: main theme in a higher key
• Section 3: "Green Greens" and "Kirby's Triumphant Return"

The title "CROWNED" consists of the seven first letters of the levels in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, indicating how Magolor has crowned himself with the Master Crown:

• Cookie Country
• Raisin Ruins
• Onion Ocean
• White Wafers
• Nutty Noon
• Egg Engines
• Dangerous Dinner

Game appearances

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, the original version of "CROWNED" is used in the boss battle with:

• Magolor's second boss form in Story Mode and The Arena;
• Magolor Soul in Extra Mode and The True Arena.

"CROWNED" can be found as Track 105 in the game's Jukebox. It's also included as Track 41 in Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, "CROWNED" also sees use during the battles with Magolor's second form in Story Mode and The Arena, along with Magolor Soul in Extra Mode. This arrangement, titled "C-R-O-W-N-E-D", sees discernible changes in sound design compared to the Wii version's track. In addition, a partial arrangement titled "INTERNAL STRUGGLE" plays in the rest area preceding Magolor Soul's battle in the True Arena, with the Star Allies arrangement "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD" used during the actual fight. While "OVERLORD" is used unchanged for the first phase, an added choir plus what sounds like Magolor's cries for help get added to the track at the start of the second phase and continues playing for the rest of the battle.

Five additional partial or full arrangements of "CROWNED" appear in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe:

• The title screen theme for Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, "Judgment of the Malus Pumila", incorporates elements of "CROWNED".
• The Magolor Epilogue's final boss battle music, "Mistilteinn, Tree Crown without a Ruler", is a medley incorporating "CROWNED".
• The Magolor Epilogue's staff credits theme, "Crossing into the Parallel with You", features an arrangement of "CROWNED" as part of another medley.
• The Magolor Epilogue's Extra Stage features the first version of "CROWNED" from Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe.
• A jingle called "Deluxe Master!" plays upon clearing Merry Magoland, the Epilogue, or the True Arena. This is an arrangement of the late first portion of "CROWNED", which itself is an arrangement of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler".

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe

In the Sub-Game standalone spin-off Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, "CROWNED" is remixed twice to serve as the Bonus Level music.

• The first remix is titled "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" on normal difficulty, featuring melodica.
• The second remix is titled "C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise)" ("CROWNED: Ver.2" in the Japanese and Korean versions and in the English version of later games) on secret difficulty, featuring electronic music.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

A remix of "CROWNED", here named "C-R-O-W-N-E-D", can be unlocked by collecting one of the Treasure Chests found in the Wonder Space stage, to then be played in the game's Music Room. It features a predominant electric guitar and electronic instruments.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

"CROWNED: Ver.2" from Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe is reused in Access Ark - Stage 8 EX.

Kirby Star Allies

During Morpho Knight's boss battle in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! and Soul Melter (EX) of The Ultimate Choice, if 1P is Magolor, Morpho Knight's theme will be replaced by a medley of multiple themes from Kirby's Return to Dream Land related to Magolor, and "CROWNED" is among them. The track title on Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack is 覇王戴冠 ～OVERLORD～(Supreme Ruler’s Coronation ~OVERLORD~) which is translated as Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe.

This medley is also arranged by Hirokazu Ando. It can be found as Track 181 in the Star Allies Jukebox as of Version 4.0.0.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Both the original version of "CROWNED" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land and "CROWNED: Ver.2" from Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe are playable music tracks in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Other appearances

In the Kirby Wii Music Selection CD, the bonus track ボーナストラック：サイゴノタタカイ (Bonus Track: Last Battle) is a medley of themes related to the final battle against Magolor, and "CROWNED" is featured at the end of it.

In The Sound of Kirby Café, 王様と魔女のランデヴー／カービィシリーズ番外編メドレー (Rendezvous of the King and the Witches / ​Kirby Series Extra Game Medley) features CROWNED: Ver.2 from Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe at its beginning.

In the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert, "CROWNED" is featured in the Kirby's Return to Dream Land Medley.

The theme was performed live at the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival as part of the Kirby Finale Battle Fest medley, along with "Final Boss" from Kirby's Adventure, "Vs. Marx", "0² Battle", "Fatal Blooms in Moonlight", and "Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection".
