'''"King Dedede's Theme"''', also known as '''"Mt.

Dedede"''', the '''"Tower of Midbosses"''' theme, or just '''"Dedede's Theme"''' for short, is a musical piece composed by [[Jun Ishikawa]], which first appeared in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. The theme is, as the name implies, [[King Dedede]]'s theme, though this was not strictly the case until later in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]], as Dedede has been associated with other themes in the past. It's one of the most well-known songs from the series, and it often appears alongside the [[Gourmet Race (theme)|Gourmet Race theme]]. It has reappeared in many titles since ''Kirby's Dream Land'', with several changes, rearrangements, and remixes along the way; it has also appeared outside of the video games, such as in the [[Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert]] and ''[[The Sound of Kirby Café 2]]''. | ||
The theme | The theme consists of two sections, though the second didn't make an appearance until ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. The original first-section version in ''Kirby's Dream Land'' and ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' has a higher key than most later iterations, which are based on the full version from ''Kirby Super Star''. In ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'', an additional new section is included before the usual two sections, which doubles the song's length; this new section is kept for ''[[Kirby and the Forgotten Land]]''. | ||
