“

Oh, pardon me! That was our company's wonderful theme song, "The Noble Haltmann." Sometimes I just find myself singing it out loud. It's so catchy!

”

— Susie, prior to the Mecha Knight battle

The Noble Haltmann is a song from Kirby: Planet Robobot. It is the anthem of the Haltmann Works Company. The melody serves as the basis for many songs in the game's soundtrack, and even has lyrics, which are performed (at least in part) several times throughout the game.

Game appearances

Kirby: Planet Robobot

The song is the basis of many of game's tracks, such as "Venturing into the Mechanized World" and "VS. The Wicked Company". Sections of it can also be found in many others, such as "Flight of Azure", "Crazy Rolling in Money" and "VS. Star Dream".

The song in itself is named and performed in-game multiple times. Each time the anthem is performed in-story, it is done so by secretary Susie. She sings parts of the anthem before the fights with Mecha Knight and Dedede Clone, and part of the lyrics are also revealed in the pause screen during the battle with President Haltmann.

After the player achieves 100% completion of Planet Robobot, a special video is unlocked, wherein Susie performs the entire song to Haltmann in the executive office of the Access Ark. This "Exclusive Performance Video" can be viewed in the Theater.

Kirby Star Allies

The song is remixed for Susie's Dream Friend jingle and her Pseudo HAL Room. The former is named 秘書スージー、くじょいたします！ (Susie Will Exterminate!), while the latter is named 銀河に名立たるハルトマン／スターアライズ アレンジ ver. (The Noble Haltmann/Star Allies Arrangement ver.) in the Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack.

Other appearances

The first verse of The Noble Haltmann was sung by Makiko Ohmoto in the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert.

The song was also incorporated into the last track of the Kirby Memorial Arrangements album, titled I'll Never Forget You, where it was paired with Magolor, the Distant Traveler.

The Noble Haltmann, along with "Pink Ball Activate!", receives an upbeat acoustic remix in The Sound of Kirby Café Track 12: "Café De Planet".

Development

Prototype 1Prototype 2Prototype 3

First prototype

Second prototype

Third prototype

The song's composition had various versions until it was completed. After listening to the first prototype, Shinya Kumazaki asked the composer, Hirokazu Ando, to "give it the weight of a wicked giant corporate company". Ando then made the second prototype, but Kumazaki felt it was a bit too heavy, and asked him to make it sound "more like an unknown invader". With the collected feedback, the third prototype was made, which became the basis for the final version.

Trivia

• The lyrics strongly suggest that the Haltmann Works Company is a form of Corporatocracy, as President Haltmann is seen as a ruler, in addition to the company's head.
  • In turn, the Japanese lyrics suggest an even greater fanaticism within the company, comparing Haltmann to a divine figure who deserves to be worshiped.
• The Japanese version of the song contains an extra two verses, making it longer than the localized English version.
• Most language versions display only the first two lines of the first stanza in the "A Complete Remodel" and "Unreal King" cutscenes. The English versions instead present out-of-order lyrics for the first stanza in the former cutscene, and the first line of the second stanza in the latter cutscene, whereas the French versions present the first line of the first stanza in the former cutscene and the first line of the second stanza in the latter cutscene.
