The '''Rainbow Resort''' theme first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'', and is primarily associated with the [[Rainbow Resort|level of the same name]], though it does not exclusively play there. The music was composed by Hirokazu Ando.
==Composition==
Rainbow Resort is a generally low-energy track which plays in a 6/8 time signature. It is notable in the fact that it has appeared several times in the ''Kirby'' series since its initial composition, though not as much as the themes for [[Vegetable Valley (theme)|Vegetable Valley]] or [[Butter Building (theme)|Butter Building]]. It becomes particularly prominent in ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', which features three remixes of the theme.
Rainbow Resort's tempo, time signature, and composition are similar to that of the [[Grape Garden (theme)|Grape Garden theme]].

In these games, the Rainbow Resort theme is used for Stages [[Orange Ocean - Stage 5|5]] and [[Orange Ocean - Stage 6|6]] in [[Orange Ocean]] and much of Rainbow Resort except for [[Rainbow Resort - Stage 2|Stage 2]] which uses the [[Tower of Mid-Bosses]] theme, [[Rainbow Resort - Stage 3|Stage 3]] which uses the [[Grape Garden (theme)|Grape Garden theme]], and [[Rainbow Resort - Stage 6|Stage 6]] which uses the [[Green Greens (theme)|Green Greens theme]]. It plays during the intro cutscene for Rainbow Resort and for the first time Kirby visits the level hub, with subsequent visits playing a different theme instead.
In ''Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land'', the Rainbow Resort theme plays at slightly more than 163 beats per minute. This version was arranged by [[Jun Ishikawa]].<ref>''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]''</ref>
