Big Forest (theme): Difference between revisions

|caption=Various arrangements of '''Big Forest'''.

The Big Forest theme plays at roughly 180 beats per minute in a 4/4 time signature. It is generated within the game itself using the Game Boy's programmable sound generator. It begins with a short introductory statement which lasts about 4 seconds before proceeding into the main portion of the song, which lasts about 44 seconds before looping and is split into two equally-sized verses.

This music appears in the Big Forest stage of ''Kirby's Dream Land 2''. It plays during the introductory cutscene for the level, leading into the first time Kirby visits the [[Level Hub]], and also plays as the default music within the first three stages themselves. Due to [[Coo]]'s presence within the level, much of it is played under [[Coo's Theme]] instead.

A remix of this song can be unlocked by collecting one of the [[Treasure Chest]]s found in the [[Deep-Divin' Kirby Submarine]] stage, to then be played in the [[Jukebox|Music Room]]. While very similar to the original, not counting the different soundfont, it has some differences, such having as a longer intro, and a slightly slower tempo.

The original version of "Big Forest", named '''Kirby's Dream Land 2: Memorial Song 1''' in-game, can be unlocked for use in [[Race (Kirby's Dream Buffet)|Race]]s and [[Free Rolling]] in ''[[Kirby's Dream Buffet]]'' upon reaching [[Gourmet Rank]] 34. This game is the first to confirm that the theme was composed by Tadashi Ikegami.

The Big Forest theme is featured in Track 9: ''Beyond the Forest and the Desert'' of the ''[[Kirby Memorial Arrangements]]'', the second CD of the [[Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert]] 2-CD set.
