"Grass Land (1)"[Japanese title] is the very first stage theme in Kirby's Dream Land 3. It was composed by Jun Ishikawa.

Composition[edit]

Kirby stands in the merry fields of Grass Land.

"Grass Land (1)" is a happy, upbeat tune with a BPM of around 180. The beginning of the song is in C major, and sounds similar to "Green Greens". Then, after the intro, it introduces its main melody. For a brief time afterwards, it goes into its minor key (E-flat major), but then goes back into its major key and plays the main melody two times (first with an organ-like instrument, then a synth-like one). Afterwards, it goes into the minor key part again for a bit longer until it loops again.
