"Haltmann Works Co. HQ" is an arrangement of "The Noble Haltmann" from Kirby: Planet Robobot which acts as an alternate form of the motif.
Composition
"Haltmann Works Co. HQ" is a fast but wary theme which uses the first four notes of "The Noble Haltmann" a number of times with various improvisations filling the in-betweens. It is then followed by "Green Greens" and a particular spin on "Bright Spinning Planet", with "Haltmann Works Co. HQ" quietly sneaking into the very end of the track before it loops back.
"Combat Evaluation Program" is a fairly straightforward remix of "Haltmann Works Co. HQ", with the only major difference being what instruments are used. The name of this theme references the Japanese and Korean descriptions for The True Arena, which refer to the mode as a program to decide the strongest fighter on the planet.[1][2]
Game appearances
Kirby: Planet Robobot
As a track
"Haltmann Works Co. HQ" first plays in Access Ark - Stage 1 after entering the Access Ark itself. It plays in various locations throughout the Access Ark after this. In the Jukebox, it is Track 081.
"Combat Evaluation Program" is featured in many battles in The True Arena, where every level boss from Meta Knightmare Returns uses it in place of their normal theme. Other bosses, such as Mid-Boss All-Stars and the game mode bosses of Meta Knightmare Returns, use their own music as normal.
As a leitmotif
Like "Bright Spinning Planet" and "The Noble Haltmann", "Haltmann Works Co. HQ" appears throughout the game as a leitmotif. The following auditory will only feature examples of "Haltmann Works Co. HQ", as examples of "The Noble Haltmann" can be found here.

Star Allies Go! and Soul Melter (EX) of The Ultimate Choice is an orchestral remix of "Vagrant Counting Song of Retrospection" and "VS. Star Dream", both of which contain "Haltmann Works Co. HQ" as a leitmotif. Notably, the motif is used as a transitioning point between the themes, allowing the music to loop better.
