Ruins has an odd time signature compared to most songs in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It runs at roughly 228 beats per minute with the following repeating pattern - 3/6, 3/6, 3/6, 3/8. That is to say, each main measure uses four bars; the first three of which use a 3/6 time signature, and the last of which uses 3/8. In simpler terms, this is notated as 45/24 or 9/4, meaning that if each beat is counted as a quarter note, there are 9 beats per measure.
