Kihon wa Maru

|
Kihon wa Maru[Japanese title] is the ending theme of the Japanese and Chinese versions of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!, used from Kirby Comes to Cappy Town to A Whale of a Tale. The lyrics of the song explain how to draw Kirby, in a manner similar to the intro from Kirby's Adventure. The song's title translates to "First you draw a circle." The song is in F major, going at a 4/4 time signature at 144 beats per minute. It is replaced by "Kirby ☆ Step!" starting with Waddle While You Work and persisting until Fright to the Finish.
The song was released on the single Hoshi no Kirby Theme Song, as the B-side to "Kirby ★ March". It was also featured on the album TV Anime Hoshi no Kirby Original Soundtrack.

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.
