It is composed in the style of [[wikipedia:gamelan|gamelan]], and the instrumentation consists of metallophones, a bowed string instrument, and a bassoon. It starts with fairly conventional gamelan instrumentation and musical scales, but gradually deviates away from a traditional gamelan sound with the introduction of a string instrument with heavy tremolo and a playful but discordant bassoon line, before looping back. | ||
According to the ''[[Kirby Star Allies: The Original Soundtrack]]'' booklet, Jun Ishikawa was initially anxious about composing this track and [[La Follia d'amore|its sister track]], as [[Shinya Kumazaki]] had requested a "gamelan-like song", but gamelan is Indonesian religious music and has specific limitations to its [[wikipedia:slendro|musical]] [[wikipedia:pelog|scale]].

When he asked Kumazaki if the track was okay, Kumazaki responded, "If a real gamelan player hears this, and they think, 'Oh, was that supposed to be gamelan?', that's fine." Ishikawa was relieved after this, and continued composing without worrying about the limitations. [[Hirokazu Ando]] also joked that he was worried when he saw that Kumazaki requested a gamelan song, and was relieved that it didn't fall to him. | ||
Ishikawa composed "Puppet Offering" to be slightly less serious than "La Follia d'amore", as it is only the first phase of the battle. However, he was concerned that using a bassoon sample for the bass part would make the song too silly for its context in the game. Kumazaki's response reassured him, as he himself thought the song was scary.<ref>[https://gigi9714.wordpress.com/2021/12/31/kirby-star-allies-the-original-soundtrack-sound-staff-round-table-discussion/ Kirby Star Allies The Original Soundtrack – Sound Staff Round-Table Discussion (translation by Gigi]</ref> | Ishikawa composed "Puppet Offering" to be slightly less serious than "La Follia d'amore", as it is only the first phase of the battle.
