"Guardian Angel: Landia"[2] is a theme that is associated primarily with Landia in Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake.

Composition[edit]

This section is incomplete. You can help WiKirby by expanding it.
An original theme like this necessitates a bigger composition section.
The adventurers battling a furious Landia.

The theme is composed in 12/8 time in a minor key with symphonic instrumentation. It sounds noticeably melancholy, with a slow-paced rhythm resembling a funeral dirge, unlike the typically upbeat boss battle themes throughout the series.

Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Return to Dream Land / Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe[edit]

As the name indicates, "Guardian Angel: Landia" first appears when battling Landia in the final stage of Dangerous Dinner in Kirby's Return to Dream Land, and serves the same role in the remake. It also plays for two other bosses: the second phase of HR-D3's battle in Extra Mode and The True Arena (only in the original game), and the first phase of Galacta Knight's battle (in both games, in the remake only if player 1 is Kirby or Bandana Waddle Dee).

Kirby: Planet Robobot[edit]

The theme reappears when fighting Landia in its standard form in the Team Kirby Clash Sub-Game of Kirby: Planet Robobot, unaltered from its original appearance.

Team Kirby Clash Deluxe[edit]

The theme reappears in Team Kirby Clash Deluxe in the same circumstances as the original Team Kirby Clash.

Super Kirby Clash[edit]

In Super Kirby Clash, "Guardian Angel: Landia" is remixed when battling Landia in its initial form at the Empyrean. The remix's primary difference is the addition of a heavy percussion section, as well as some additional electronic effects.
