"C-R-O-W-N-E-D" is a dramatic orchestral track in F minor and 4/4. It is primarily based on "[[Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler]]" while completely lacking in the latter's cheeriness. The intro starts slowly as the corresponding cutscene portrays the Master Crown; this intro is a slowed down version of the second section of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler", played by cellos with supporting strings and choir. The choir leads to the main section, where the tempo increases to a frantic rate. The ostinato accompaniment presents the main motif of the track, which soon kicks in properly with the strings. This melody is structurally identical to the main melody of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler", albeit in straight rhythm and inverted. In a call and response, the strings lead the melody as other instruments second it. As it comes to a resolution, a counterpoint quoting "[[The Adventure Begins (theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land)|The Adventure Begins]]" keeps up the pace. The melody is repeated by a flute in A-flat (G-sharp) minor; rather than a repetition in the response, said response now features the motif of "[[Road to Victory]]". This ends in a similar fashion to the first iteration. | |||
Heroic and somewhat lyrical in character, "[[Four Adventurers: Cookie Country]]" takes the lead, at first uninterrupted by "C-R-O-W-N-E-D"'s own motifs. However, the melody of the latter returns as a counterpoint. A climactic brass minor iteration of the melody of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" sounds, at first stably in A-flat minor, but then becoming tonally unstable with diminished harmonies. Continuing in this instability, "Road to Victory" joins in for its resolution in E minor. | |||

From the newly established key, the theme repeats its structure through the "Four Adventurers: Cookie Country" segment. The motif of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler" comes in early as a quiet counterpart, making space for another familiar motif. Now in C minor, a resolute brass version of the rising phrase of "[[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens]]" plays. This is followed by a clarinet's quote of its sister theme, "[[Kirby's Triumphant Return]]". This theme plays again with a tutti. Bells join in its resolution, and the phrase imitates the conclusion of "Road to Victory". The choir joins again with quiet string support, bridging back to F minor for the track to loop. | |||
