Game appearances
Kirby's Star Stacker
In the Game Boy version of Kirby's Star Stacker and its remake on Super Famicom, the theme can heard in a couple shared instances throughout both games. In the Round Clear mode, it plays during every level in the Hard difficulty. It also plays during the Challenge mode, when the player has accumulated between 200 to 400 stars. Exclusively in the Super Famicom version, however, it also plays during the battle with Poppy Bros. Jr. during the Story Mode.
The rearranged track from the Super Famicom version was done by Jun Ishikawa.[3]
Kirby: Planet Robobot
In Kirby: Planet Robobot, the Super Famicom arrangement can be heard in Patched Plains - Stage 6 EX, specifically during the section with the fences in the green laboratory. It can also be heard as Track 110 in the Jukebox.
Other appearances
On the Kirby's Star Stacker Original CD Masters album, composer Masahito Nakano rearranged "Hard" with new instrumentation. It can be found as track 9 and is titled ふつう. Translated, it means "Normal", which is the name of the Hard difficulty in the Japanese version of Kirby's Star Stacker.
The song also appears in The Very Best of Kirby: 52 Hit Tracks. There, it's listed with the name "Level: Normal", and is track 20 on the album.
