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

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

Composition

"C-R-O-W-N-E-D" 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"

Etymology

Magolor's appearance after being crowned.

The title "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" 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 "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" is used in the boss battle with Magolor's second form in Story Mode and The Arena and Magolor Soul in Extra Mode and The True Arena. It can be found as Track 105 in the game's Jukebox.

In Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe, "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" also sees use during the battles with Magolor's second form in Story Mode and The Arena, along with Magolor Soul in Extra Mode (track 127 in the Jukebox). This arrangement has discernible changes in sound mixing 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 (Track 196 in the Jukebox), with the Kirby Star Allies arrangement "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD" used during the actual fight. While at first the song is identical to the Kirby Star Allies version, during the battle's second phase, an added choir plus what sounds like Magolor's cries for help get mixed into the track. A variation of the theme that fades the second phase version in after one complete loop can be listened to in the Jukebox as Track 197.

Five additional partial or full arrangements of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" 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 "C-R-O-W-N-E-D". It can be found as track 169 in the Jukebox.
• Magolor Epilogue's final boss battle music, "Mistilteinn, Tree Crown without a Ruler", is a medley incorporating "C-R-O-W-N-E-D". It can be found as track 184 in the Jukebox.
• Magolor Epilogue's staff credits theme, "Crossing into the Parallel with You", features an arrangement of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" as part of another medley. It can be found as track 186 in the Jukebox.
• Magolor Epilogue's Extra Stage features the first version of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" from Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe. It can be found as track 188 in the Jukebox.
• A jingle called "Deluxe Master!" plays upon clearing Merry Magoland, Magolor Epilogue, or TheTrue Arena. This is an arrangement of the late first portion of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D", which itself is an arrangement of "Magolor, the Far-Flung Traveler". It can be found as track 199 in the Jukebox.

Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe

In the Sub-Game standalone spin-off Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe, "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" is remixed twice to serve as the Bonus Level music.

• The first remix is simply titled "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" on normal difficulty, featuring melodica. This remix is a truncated version of the song.
• 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 versions of some later games) on secret difficulty, featuring electronic instrumentation as well as the song being extended to its original length.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse

A remix of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" can be unlocked in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse 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

In Kirby: Planet Robobot, "C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise)" (titled "CROWNED: Ver.2" on the official soundtrack) 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 player 1 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 "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" 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 Kirby Star Allies Jukebox.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Both the original version of "C-R-O-W-N-E-D" (here titled "CROWNED") from Kirby's Return to Dream Land and "C-R-O-W-N-E-D (Reprise)" (here titled "CROWNED: Ver.2") from Dedede's Drum Dash Deluxe are playable music tracks in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
