(Added info about the Jukeboxes, the OSTs, a bit of genre descriptions, and some fixes.)
(Various grammar, formatting and redundancy fixes. I suppose we could add in the track numbers of the albums in other appearances, but we don't list all of them in other big music pages like Dedede's theme, so I'm not too sure)

The song plays in most boss battles in ''{{KSS KFP}}''. The only bosses not to use this theme are [[King Dedede]], [[Meta Knight]], [[Galactic Nova Nucleus|Heart of Nova]] and [[Marx]], who each have their own unique battle themes. Meanwhile, [[Computer Virus]] has its own unique version of the boss battle theme, a chiptune-like arrangement of it. This theme also plays when battling the [[Mid-Boss]]es at the end of [[Candy Mountain]] in [[Dyna Blade (main game)|Dyna Blade]]. In [[The Arena]], all boss battles with this theme instead play "[[Arena Showdown]]" (except for Computer Virus). In the [[Jukebox/Kirby Super Star|Sound Test]] the normal version can be found as the ''Music'' number 08, while the Computer Virus version is listed as the number 38.
