"Limitless Power" is a stage theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land named after the description of the Master Crown in the "Let Me Explain Everything" cutscene. It was composed by Hirokazu Ando.[1]
Composition[edit]
"Limitless Power" is a dramatic and fast-paced theme in C minor and 3/4. It is heavily based on "The Adventure Begins" and can be seen as its minor counterpart, a befitting role given their designations. Changing the melody to fit the new meter, "Limitless Power" steadily sways between minor and diminished harmonies with occasional percussive remarks. The first section repeats twice, with the second's backing making the harmonies more complex. The first part reaches its peak at the end with F minor, the dominant to the following section's B-flat minor "Four Adventurers: Cookie Country", once again adapted to 3/4. This part ends with four cymbals crashes, one per beat, in time with the dominant to C minor. The first part repeats with a more quiet, harp-like instrument, while in the meantime the backing increases in volume with atonal rising sounds. The final section has less going on: an eight note followed by a longer note played by low brass, repeating every bar with new harmonies and instruments.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]
In Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake, "Limitless Power" plays in the third stage of Dangerous Dinner, as well as part of the theme "Let Me Explain Everything" which plays during said cutscene.
Exclusively in the remake, "Limitless Power" plays in the rest areas before fighting HR-D3, Lor EX & Magolor and Magolor EX in The True Arena, while "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD" from Kirby Star Allies is reused as the theme of Magolor Soul's True Arena battle.
The primary theme of Magolor Epilogue: The Interdimensional Traveler, "Judgment of the Malus Pumila", also uses an arrangement of "Limitless Power" as its second section. Finally, "Magolor's Tome Trackers - Title", a major arrangement of "Let Me Explain Everything", has a corresponding major version of "Limitless Power".
Kirby: Triple Deluxe[edit]
In Kirby: Triple Deluxe, "Limitless Power" plays in specific areas of Royal Road - Stage 7 EX.
Kirby Star Allies[edit]
During Morpho Knight's boss battle, if player 1 is Magolor, Morpho Knight's theme will be replaced by a medley of multiple themes from Kirby's Return to Dream Land related to Magolor, and "Limitless Power" is among them. This medley is titled "Supreme Ruler's Coronation - OVERLORD".
"Limitless Power" is also part of the dimension levels' theme, "The Legend of Last World", a medley of final level music from various games.
