This article is about the stage theme from Kirby's Dream Land 3. For other stage themes with the same Japanese name in some sources, see Peanut Plains and Vegetable Valley.

"Plains Stage"[Japanese title] is a stage theme from Kirby's Dream Land 3. This theme was composed by Jun Ishikawa, and has also been remixed in Kirby Star Allies.

Composition[edit]

Kirby catches sight of a nice drink to have under the tree.

"Plains Stage" has a somewhat slow tempo, but has a fast drumbeat. Its composition is characteristic of ragga jungle, which combines elements of reggae (such as the laidback tempo and syncopated rhythms) and jungle music (such as the fast breaks and heavy bass). This theme is primarily in the key of C.

In Kirby Star Allies, a more tropical arrangement of Plains Stage plays throughout the stages Planet Misteen and Mareen Moon in Far-Flung Starlight Heroes.
