The original version was created for ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'' by the game's sole sound composer, [[Jun Ishikawa]].
 
==Composition==
[[File:KatFL A Trip to Alivel Mall screenshot 05.png|thumb|left|200px|An invincible Kirby roams the corridors.]]
"Invincible Candy" is a typically swift and upbeat theme in F major and 4/4. In most variations of "Invincible Candy", the high tempo and swift beat are used to convey the speed and power granted by the Invincible Candy. The theme consists of two short phrases: one consists of a short a simple motif of three rising notes and a falling sixth played twice, while the second is a virtuosic descending passage ending in a rising octave.
 
The first motif follows a chord progression of IV-I-VII-I, the chord changing every two beats; the VII chord, E flat major, substitutes the vii chord, E diminished, that normally appears in the key of F major. The second motif follows a simple IV-VII progression, the chord changing every four beats. By using all major chords and lacking the dominant V, the theme has a hyperactive energy that doesn't quite resolve, adding to the feeling of a sugar rush.
 
Most titles simply loop their version of the original melody with no variation, although starting in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', some notes in the theme are altered when the melody repeats, making the loop slightly longer. This practice comes to a head in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', where the song doesn't loop until after four variants have played.

==Description==
{{main|A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World}}
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 four-bar melody that repeats until the invincibility wears off. Most titles simply loop their version of the four-bar melody with no variation, although starting in ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land]]'', some notes in the song are altered when the melody repeats, making the loop slightly longer. This practice comes to a head in ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]'', where the song doesn't loop until after 16 bars (four variants) have played.
"Invincible Candy" is also mixed with "[[Welcome to the New World!]]" for the [[Big-Rig Mouth]] section. This medley is titled "[[A Full-Speed Farewell from the New World]]" and was arranged by [[Hirokazu Ando]].<ref name="fl"/>


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 four-bar melody, using a more powerful tone than speedy. On the other hand, in contrast with most previous Invincible Candy themes, ''Kirby Mass Attack'' uses an eight-bar melody 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''.
===''Kirby's Dream Buffet''===
In ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'', a unique arrangement based on exclusively the second phrase of "Invincible Candy" plays for the player that uses the Invincible Candy.


==Trivia==
==Other appearances==
*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.
An unnamed and unreleased music track used in a number of episodes of the Japanese run of ''[[Kirby: Right Back at Ya!]]'', including [[Dedede's Pet Threat]] and [[Waddle While You Work]], features a slowed-down lighthearted variation of "Invincible Candy".
*In [[Kirby Fighters]], obtaining the Invincible Candy plays the Invincible theme from ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' instead of the new Invincible theme featured in the rest of ''[[Kirby: Triple Deluxe]]''. This makes it one of the few games to feature multiple variants of the theme.
*Outside of the listed songs, the Invincible Candy leitmotif also appears in the [[Kirby's Block Ball - Stage 1|Stage 1]] music of ''[[Kirby's Block Ball]]'', the credits theme from ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' and [[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.

This article is about the primary theme for the Invincible Candy from Kirby's Dream Land, and should not be confused with the "Invincible Candy" theme from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards or the "Invincible Candy" theme from Kirby Mass Attack.

"Invincible Candy"[1][2], also referred to as "Invincible!"[3] and "Invincible",[4][5] is a short piece that plays when Kirby or one of his friends eats an Invincible Candy. The original version was created for Kirby's Dream Land by the game's sole sound composer, Jun Ishikawa.

Composition[edit]

An invincible Kirby roams the corridors.

"Invincible Candy" is a typically swift and upbeat theme in F major and 4/4. In most variations of "Invincible Candy", the high tempo and swift beat are used to convey the speed and power granted by the Invincible Candy. The theme consists of two short phrases: one consists of a short a simple motif of three rising notes and a falling sixth played twice, while the second is a virtuosic descending passage ending in a rising octave.

The first motif follows a chord progression of IV-I-VII-I, the chord changing every two beats; the VII chord, E flat major, substitutes the vii chord, E diminished, that normally appears in the key of F major. The second motif follows a simple IV-VII progression, the chord changing every four beats. By using all major chords and lacking the dominant V, the theme has a hyperactive energy that doesn't quite resolve, adding to the feeling of a sugar rush.

Most titles simply loop their version of the original melody with no variation, although starting in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, some notes in the theme are altered when the melody repeats, making the loop slightly longer. This practice comes to a head in Kirby and the Forgotten Land, where the song doesn't loop until after four variants have played.
