Title Screen (from Kirby's Adventure) is the title screen music that plays for Kirby's Adventure. This theme was composed by Hirokazu Ando[1], and has been remixed a couple of times throughout the series. It was also present in the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival.

Composition

Title Screen is an upbeat, short theme in 4/4 time that's in the key of G flat/F# major. This theme has a similar starting of that of a ragtime piece.

Game appearances

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land

True to its name, this song can be heard in the title screen of Kirby's Adventure. Notably, in the NES PAL version of the game, Title Screen has been pitched down by one semitone, mainly due to the entire soundtrack being modified in such a way to fit timing differences for 50Hz televisions.

The song reprises its role in the title screen for Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, and is remastered using new instruments which make use of compressed synths, steel drums, and whistles.

Kirby: Planet Robobot

The original version heard in Kirby's Adventure also reappears in the secret moon section of Stage 8 EX of Access Ark in Kirby: Planet Robobot. It can be found as Track 135 in the Jukebox. This title confirms for the first time that the song was composed by Hirokazu Ando.

Kirby's Blowout Blast

A new remix of the song can be heard on the title screen for Kirby's Blowout Blast.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

In Merry Magoland, a heavy electronic remix of this theme plays at the title screen for the Egg Catcher minigame representing Kirby's Adventure. The original version is unlockable as a secret song after clearing all Egg Catcher missions.

Other appearances

When selecting the Other Games option in a Nintendo Switch Kirby game or in Kirby Battle Royale, the Blowout Blast version of this theme can be heard when selecting said title. This theme was also performed as part of the Kirby Through the Years: 1993-2004 medley in Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival.
