'''"Green Greens"''' is among the first pieces of music composed for the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' series, first appearing as the theme for the [[Green Greens]] stage in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', and reappearing in several games since then. It has been remixed, re-orchestrated, and remastered several times throughout the series, including being incorporated into other themes and tracks. Even as such, however, it can often still be heard in its original form in many titles, particularly as an easter egg in [[HAL Room]]s, or in trailers for the games.

==Game appearances==

===''Kirby's Dream Land''===

As mentioned above, the "Green Greens" theme is the stage music for [[Green Greens]], from which it gets its name. This original version was composed by [[Jun Ishikawa]], who has since gone on to compose much of the music for the series.

===''Kirby Super Star'' / ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''===

Finally, the theme is also incorporated into the [[Milky Way Wishes: Staff Credits|staff credits theme]] for Milky Way Wishes.

====''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U''====

The original version from ''Kirby's Dream Land'' plays in the Green Greens section of the [[smashwiki:Dream Land GB|Dream Land GB]] stage.

===''Kirby: Squeak Squad''===

===''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' / ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn''===

*The game's tutorial theme, '''"Learn the Controls!"''', is a very light arrangement of the theme, with the main melody being played with a flute and a guitar, and an original intro with an harp.

*The theme that plays when viewing the [[Secret Diary]], named '''"Reading the Secret Diary"''', is a relaxed sounding arrangement of the theme, primarily featuring a flute and guitar. It's notably very similar to the "Learn the Controls!" version.

*[[Claycia]]'s battle theme, '''"Battle with Claycia"''', features a short segment of the "Green Greens" theme near the end.

*A fairly simple "Green Greens" remix can be unlocked by collecting one of the [[Treasure Chest]]s found in [[The Adventure Begins]] stage, to then be played in the game's [[Jukebox|Music Room]].

The "Green Greens" theme makes multiple appearances in ''Kirby Star Allies'':

*The theme of the two final stages, [[Jambandra Base]] and [[The Divine Terminus]], is a slow-paced, sinister sounding remix of the "Green Greens" theme, that predominantly features violins. This version is also arranged by Hirokazu Ando. On the ''Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack'', it is called '''夢と新緑の残痕地''' (''Land of Dreams and Greenery's Remains'').

*When battling against [[Void]], a variation of the "Fourth Movement: Hope of Birth" version plays, which features the "Green Greens" theme even more, going as far as to recreate the original version of the track in chiptune. This version is called '''組曲：星羅征く旅人 最終楽章：煌めき星''' (''Suite: The Star-Conquering Traveler - Final Movement: Sparkling Star'') on the ''Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack''.

*[[The Ultimate Choice]]'s title screen theme is an intense remix of the theme, primarily featuring electric guitars, trumpets, and drums. It is arranged by [[Yuuta Ogasawara]], and is titled '''お好み究極チョイス味''' (''Choosing the Ultimate Choice Flavor'') on the ''Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack''.

The ''[[harddrop: Tetris 99|Tetris 99]]'' theme for this game includes an extended version of "[[Kirby Fighters 2: The Destined Rivals]]", which includes a new arrangement of the Green Greens theme near the end before looping.

===''Kirby and the Forgotten Land''===

===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===

The original version from ''Kirby's Dream Land'', referred to as '''Kirby's Dream Land: Memorial Song 1''' in-game, can be unlocked for races upon reaching [[Gourmet Rank]] 44.

In the ''[[Kirby's Adventure (soundtrack)|Kirby's Adventure]]'' soundtrack album, the theme received a vocal remix named '''キラキラマーチ''' (''Sparkling March'').

In the Japanese version of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', the Drag Race remix from ''Kirby Air Ride'' plays in some of the later episodes; it is named ''Final Strategy'' ('''とっておきの作戦''') on ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Sound Plus]]''. Meanwhile, its orchestral "Green Greens" remix plays during a scene in [[The Kirby Derby - Part II]], as [[Kirby's Starship]] takes flight, and the final scene of [[Air-Ride-in-Style - Part II]], where Kirby flies off inside the [[Destroya]] and destroys it with the [[Crash]] Copy Ability.

An arrangement featured in the 2006 coin pusher game ''Kirby: Sparkling Medal Land'' (「星のカービィ～きらきらメダルランド～」) strongly resembles the simple "Green Greens" remix in ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'' that would follow nine years later, although the latter is clearly faster and re-orchestrated.<ref>[https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm29474762 【メダルゲーム】―星のカービィきらきらメダルランド ④―【４００!?】 - ニコニコ動画] (see in particular 00:25-01:16)</ref> This arrangement may have been originally created for the Japanese version of ''Kirby: Right Back at Ya!'', as the game otherwise heavily borrows artwork and sound elements from the anime.<ref>The track from ''Kirby and the Rainbow Curse'' also has the filename <code>BGM_STR_ANI_GREEN_8</code>; other tracks whose filenames begin with <code>BGM_STR_ANI</code> include "What's This Now?" (<code>BGM_STR_ANI_FEAR_8</code>), "Hit the Switch?" (<code>BGM_STR_ANI_FEAR_3</code>), "A Bad Feeling..." (<code>BGM_STR_ANI_FEAR_9</code>), and two arrangements of [[Mosugaba's song]] (<code>BGM_STR_ANI_MOS_JUNGLE</code>, <code>BGM_STR_ANI_MOS_BATTLE</code>). All of these other tracks are either directly lifted or rearranged from the anime soundtrack.</ref>

The theme is also featured at the beginning of the bonus track '''ステージメドレー／アコースティックver.''' (''Stage Medley / Acoustic Ver.'') of the ''[[Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track]]''. It sounds very similar to the ''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' remix, though it was released beforehand.

The ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' Item Challenge/HAL Room remix of the theme is part of the "Kirby's Dream Land Medley" in the ''[[wikipedia:Taiko no Tatsujin|Taiko no Tatsujin]]'' series. In ''Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythm Festival'', "Green Gardens" is featured as part of the "Kirby Star Allies Medley".
