Castle Lololo (theme): Difference between revisions

'''"Castle Lololo"''' is a theme first heard in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', which has since reappeared in many games in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'']] series. It was composed by [[Jun Ishikawa]].

"Castle Lololo" first appears in ''Kirby's Dream Land'', playing in [[Castle Lololo|the stage of the same name]].

In ''[[Kirby Air Ride]]'', a more dramatic orchestral arrangement of the theme known as '''"City Trial: Dyna Blade Intro"''' plays during the [[City Trial#Events|Dyna Blade event]] and the [[Vs. King Dedede]] [[Stadium]] mode in [[City Trial]].

''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' features heavily remixed version of this theme called '''"Mag Mount"''', which plays in [[Mag Mount|the stage of the same name]]. It is found in the Sound Test as Music 08.

A small section of the theme is also remixed partially in "[[Cave Stage]]" remix that plays in [[Rift Ruin]], which can be found in the Sound Test as Music 09.

In ''[[Kirby Super Star Ultra]]'', a remix of the theme similar to the ''Kirby Air Ride'' version is used for the battles against [[Dyna Blade]], [[Wham Bam Rock]] and [[Wham Bam Jewel]]. This version is named '''巨大ボスとの戦い''' (''Battle with an Enormous Boss'') in the ''[[Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track]]''.

In the [[Kirby's History]] section of the game, an orchestral medley of "Castle Lololo" and "[[Cloudy Park (theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Cloudy Park]]" from ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' plays, with the former looping three times before changing to the latter. It is arranged by [[Hirokazu Ando]].

In the [[Kirby Fighters]] sub-game, the original version of this theme from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' plays in the [[Castle Lololo (Battle Stage)|Castle Lololo]] [[Battle Stage]].

The medley from ''[[Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition]]'' is reused for the [[Game Over]] screen, with the track looping only twice instead of three times.

The ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'' version as heard in ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]'' is also reused for the first end credits sequence.

In ''[[Kirby: Planet Robobot]]'', the ''Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition'' medley as heard in ''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' is reused for the results screen after clearing a Quest in [[Team Kirby Clash]]. It can be found as Track 77 in the game's [[Jukebox/Kirby: Planet Robobot|Jukebox]].

''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' features a slow and calm arrangement of the theme, which plays when showing the collected [[Picture Piece]]s after the [[Goal Game]].

The ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' version is reused for the battle against [[Goldon & Silvox]] in the Soul Melter and Soul Melter EX difficulties of [[The Ultimate Choice]].

In ''[[Super Kirby Clash]]'', the ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' arrangement is reused for the Tougher Story Quests against [[Ice Dragon]], [[Kibble Blade]], [[Bonkers]], [[Flame Galboros]] and [[Mr. Frosty]].

 

A remix of the Giant Masked Dedede battle theme from ''Kirby's Blowout Blast'' plays for the Tougher and Toughest Quests against King D-Mind.

Finally, the remix of the theme in ''Team Kirby Clash Deluxe'' is remixed again, and plays in the first phase of King D-Mind's Revenge.

In the Japanese version of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', the same arrangement used in ''Kirby Air Ride'' plays in both [[Fitness Fiend]] when Dedede starts to get fat after eating the Pufferzene chips, and in [[Fright to the Finish]] during the [[Combat Kirby]] recap. It is named '''撃滅！ナイトメア大要塞''' (''Destruction! Nightmare's Great Fortress''), the same Japanese name as the one for [[Combat Kirby]], in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Sound Plus]]''.

A short remix of this theme was featured in [[Kirby Pupupu Train]], and it is included on the ''[[Kirby Pupupu Train Eki-melo Collection]]'' under the title '''キャッスルロロロ駅''' (''Castle Lololo Station'').

In ''[[The Sound of Kirby Café 2]]'', "Castle Lololo" is featured in Track 4: "Tomorrow's Tea Times".

The "Battle with the Enormous Boss" version from ''Kirby Super Star Ultra'' is featured at the very beginning of the bonus track ボスバトルメドレー／エレクトロニックver. (''Boss Battle Medley / Electronic Ver.'') from the "[[Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track]]".
