During Morpho Knight's battle in Guest Star ???? Star Allies Go! and The Ultimate Choice of Kirby Star Allies, if 1P is Marx, Morpho Knight's theme will be replaced by a new orchestral remix of Vs. Marx.

This remix is arranged by the original composer Jun Ishikawa. It can be found as Track 176 in the Jukebox as of Version 4.0.0.

The theme is also featured in the second half of the bonus track ボスバトルメドレー/エレクトロニックver. (Boss Battle Medley / Electronic Ver.) from the Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track.
