"Ruins"[Japanese title] is a musical track from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. It plays within Rock Star - Stage 2 and Aqua Star - Stage 4.
Composition[edit]
"Ruins" runs at roughly 114 beats per minute and has an odd time signature compared to most songs in the Kirby series. Although the song can be notated with just 6/8, the melody and percussion follow a structure resembling eight bars of 9/4 plus a single bar of 3/4. The song does not have any distinct sections—instead, the song's single section repeats with different instruments removed or added. The song is notable for its use of bell sounds and a synthetic choir for backup. One of the main instruments is a synthetic low flute-like sound similar in tone to Middle-Eastern instruments such as the Ney.
