Havoc Aboard the Halberd (also referred to by fans as Taking Over the Halberd) is a musical track that debuted in Kirby Super Star, playing in Revenge of Meta Knight. It is a fast-paced and suspenseful theme that has come to be associated with the Halberd in general, and has reappeared in a few notable Kirby titles since its inception, often paired with its sister track, Boarding the Halberd.

Game Appearances

Kirby Super Star (Ultra)

As mentioned above, this track can be heard in several places in Revenge of Meta Knight, specifically in the stages following instances of the ship taking damage.

This track can also be heard in Milky Way Wishes, on planet Halfmoon.

Kirby Air Ride

The original version from Kirby Super Star can be unlocked and then used as an alternate track in Magma Flows.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

The original Super Star version of the theme plays on Access Ark - Stage 7 EX. It's available as track 132 in the Jukebox.

Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn

While absent from Kirby's Epic Yarn, Havoc Aboard the Halberd appears in the 3DS port within the Sub-Game Slash & Bead. It has once again been paired with its companion song Boarding The Halberd.

Super Smash Bros. series

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a jazzy version of this track, titled Meta Knight's Revenge, is used as a default theme for the Halberd stage, and can also be heard in sections of The Subspace Emissary. Here, it is directly combined with its sister theme, being the first time the two were fused into a single musical track.

This remix along with the Halberd stage reappear in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Other Appearances

Havoc Aboard the Halberd has been performed live in the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert, along with its sibling theme.

Trivia

This track shares some commonalities with other themes in Kirby Super Star, specifically King Dedede's Theme, and the Milky Way Wishes ending theme.
