きほんは まる Kihon wa maru First you draw a circle |
Trivia
- In Abusement Park, Kirby attempts to sing this song, but fails badly (due to being tone-deaf). A sad horn plays outside the fourth wall in the Japanese version to reflect his sub-optimal performance. In The Kirby Quiz, Mike Kirby returns, singing the same melody. The sad horn is not featured there.
- The Chinese version of the show does not translate both this song and Kirby ★ March, instead leaving it in Japanese.
