Kine's Theme is the musical piece associated with Kine which plays whenever Kirby is riding on him through normal stages in Kirby's Dream Land 2. It was composed by Hirokazu Ando or Tadashi Ikegami.
Composition
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.
