"Rhythm Code"[2] is the primary puzzle room theme in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It was composed by Jun Ishikawa.[1]

Composition[edit]

Ice Mode Kirby puzzle solving.

"Rhythm Code" is a techno piece in natural A minor and 4/4. It begins with a low synth melody with an even pulsation, split into two repeated phrases and ending with a rising dominant octave. Notably, there are no semitones within this melody or any of the following phrases. After its introduction, the melody repeats in a harsher bass electric guitar tone. When the synth returns, a second melody in the form of the inverted first is then introduced, alternating between natural A minor and E minor harmonies. In the background, a quiet yet dissonant piano D-sharp hints at the elevated leading tone the piece never had. This section repeats at a higher pitch with brighter instrumentation. The first section repeats with added harmonic support from the piano. The second section plays once more. After this, the track loops properly.
