The "Invincible Candy"[1][2] theme, also referred to as "Invincible!"[3] and "Invincible",[4][5] refers to a set of themes spread across the Kirby series that play when Kirby or one of his friends eats an Invincible Candy. The original theme from Kirby's Dream Land was composed by Jun Ishikawa.
Description
In most variations of the theme, a high tempo and swift beat are used to convey the speed and power granted by the Invincible Candy, as the player only has invincibility for a few moments before Kirby returns to mortality. The main motif is a 16-beat melody that repeats until the invincibility wears off. Most titles simply loop their version of the 16-beat melody with no variation in repeating beats, although starting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, some notes in the song were altered in the repeated melody to add more uniqueness. This uniqueness added to certain notes comes to a head in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, where the song doesn't repeat itself until after four 16-beats have played.
While most games in the series use the same motif, the Invincible Candy themes in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards and Kirby Mass Attack are entirely original songs, with the latter being composed by Shogo Sakai. The Invincible theme in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards similarly uses a 16-beat melody, using a more powerful tone than speedy. On the other hand, in contrast with most previous Invincible Candy themes, Kirby Mass Attack uses two 16-beat melodies playing at a noticeably lower tempo. This version of the Invincible Candy theme goes for a more chipper and calm tone, compared to the more frantic and speedy tone that most other Invincible Candy themes display, most likely to coincide with the calmer nature of Kirby Mass Attack.
Trivia
- Also featured in Kirby Mass Attack is the Jumbo Candy, a massive variation of the Invincible Candy, that also has its own theme unique from the existing Invincible Candy theme. This also makes this the only game with two unique Invincible Candy themes.
- Curiously, in Kirby Fighters, obtaining the Invincible Candy plays the Invincible candy theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land instead of the new Invincible theme featured in the rest of Kirby: Triple Deluxe. It is likely that this is deliberate rather than a mistake, because the Kirby's Return to Dream Land Invincible theme is listed with the other Kirby Fighters songs in the Jukebox.
- Outside of the listed songs, the Invincible Candy leitmotif also appears in the Stage 1 music of Kirby's Block Ball, as well as A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World in Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
- No invincibility theme plays in Kirby Air Ride, even though the Invincible Candy appears as an item.
