Kine's Theme is a somewhat slower-paced and laid-back tune, characterized by the contrast between its steady percussion and its main melody. Its two main verses run in 4/4 time signature, and are equal to each-other in length. Notably, the introductory verse which does not loop in the song is fairly long in and of itself, being half the length of one of the main verses.

Kine's Theme first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', along with the character it is named for. The song plays whenever Kirby is paired with Kine while in a standard stage, and overrides the stage's main theme. The song does not play in boss stages, [[Bonus Chance]]s, or [[Level Hub]]s.

In ''[[Kirby's Return to Dream Land|{{KRtDL KAW}}]]'', Kine's Theme plays as the theme for a few stages in [[Onion Ocean]]. It has been re-orchestrated, its tempo sped up a little, and a few extra verses have been added. This can be seen as a somewhat odd musical cameo, as Kine himself does not appear in this game outside of a [[Stone]] transformation.

On the soundtrack, this version of the song is titled '''ハッピーマンボー''' (''Happy Mambo''). This is a pun on the music genre, the [[wikipedia:mambo (music)|mambo]], as well as the name for Kine's species, the [[wikipedia:ocean sunfish|ocean sunfish]] (マンボウ ''manbou'' in Japanese). The song is arranged by [[Hirokazu Ando]]<ref>''Kirby: Triple Deluxe'' [[Jukebox]]</ref>.
