"Tilt-and-Roll Kirby" is the theme for the sub-game with the same name in Kirby and the Forgotten Land. It was composed by Jun Ishikawa.

Composition

Kirby is ready to tilt and roll.

"Tilt-and-Roll Kirby" is remotely reminiscent of "White Wafers", which has a similar melody, time signature (4/4), instruments (with the new addition of woodwinds) and tonal peculiarities, among which whole-tone movements within a Mixolydian scale. "Tilt-and-Roll Kirby", however, has shorter phrases, and plays in C and E-flat major in the first portion, and G-flat major in the middle section. This G-flat major section is also close to the second section of "Explanations" in phrasing. After it is a transitional modulating passage and quick phrase between G and A to lead back to C major.

The Extra Hard version extends every other phrase of the original "Tilt-and-Roll Kirby", leading to an irregular 10/4 (with phrases of 6 and 4 respectively). This version adds bells, a decision likewise made in "Lunch Rush! A Wave of Waddles".

Game appearances

Kirby and the Forgotten Land
