"Title"[Japanese title] is a theme from Kirby's Dream Land 2 that plays at its title screen. It was composed by Hirokazu Ando.[1]
Composition[edit]

"Title" is a relatively short and fast unlooping theme in B major and 4/4. It begins with a chipper melody that plays out similarly to the title theme from Kirby's Pinball Land, albeit with a trill at the start rather than the end of the phrase, as well as a springy and light accompaniment. Following this phrase are detached descending thirds that move towards the dominant, with rests in the accompaniment and a high-pitched falling octave response adding to the theme's lighthearted character. The melody repeats with a harmonic second part a third below and a tonic resolution. The second section is slightly slower in pace, featuring a descending sequence of three rising notes. Ending in a double dominant cadence, the reprise of the first section follows, and the track ends together with the first section.
