Rainbow Resort (theme)
| ||||||||||||||
|
The Rainbow Resort theme is composed by Hirokazu Ando for Kirby's Adventure. It first occurred in Kirby's Adventure, and is primarily associated with the level Rainbow Resort, though it does not exclusively appear there.
Composition
Rainbow Resort is a generally low-energy track which plays in a 3/4 time signature. It is notable in the fact that it has appeared several times in the Kirby series since its initial composition, though it has not had quite as much attention as other songs from Kirby's Adventure such as the Vegetable Valley or Orange Ocean themes.
Rainbow Resort's tempo, time signature, and composition are similar to that of the Grape Garden theme.
Game appearances
Kirby's Adventure/Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
In these games, the Rainbow Resort theme is used for Stages 5 and 6 in Orange Ocean and much of Rainbow Resort expect for Stage 2 which uses the Tower of Mid-Bosses theme, Stage 3 which uses the Grape Garden theme, and Stage 6 which uses the Green Greens theme. It plays during the intro cut-scene 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.
Kirby Air Ride
An updated cover of the Rainbow Resort theme plays as the alternate theme for the race course Frozen Hillside. The theme can be listened to from the Checklist for Air Ride if the player manages to finish 2 laps on Frozen Hillside in under a minute and 56 seconds.
Kirby Star Allies
A rearrangement of the Rainbow Resort theme with altered melodic structure can be heard in this game in the stages Planet Frostak and Blizzno Moon. Its title in the official soundtrack can be translated as "Frostak’s Cold Land".
