"Cave Stage"[Japanese title] is the theme that first played in the Cocoa Cave stage in [[Kirby Super Star|Template:KSS KFP]]. It was initially composed by Jun Ishikawa[1]. The theme has had a number of rearrangements, but not as many as other more notable tracks throughout the Kirby series.

The song is largely faithful to the original, but features an extra bit of melody at the end before looping.
