'''"The Wild Red Yonder"''' is a theme from ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'' which plays in the stage of the same name. Its leitmotif is also primarily associated with the [[Kirby Rocket]] transformation, featured in other arrangements of the song used in the game.

"The Wild Red Yonder" is an epic-sounding orchestral song that is set to the key of E Minor, and plays at 144 beats per minute with a 4/4 time signature. The melody of the song is prominently played by brass instruments, and halfway through the first section the song is also accompanied by a choir in the background as well as harp. The second and last section is played by a combination of brass and string instruments before ending with crash cymbals as the song loops.

So far, ''[[Kirby and the Rainbow Curse]]'' is the first and only game where "The Wild Red Yonder" appeared as a song overall. It plays throughout the [[The Wild Red Yonder|stage of the same name]].

A faster rock arrangement of the song known as '''"Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff"''' is also present in the same game, which is primarily associated with the [[Kirby Rocket]] transformation. It is composed in the key of E Major, a parallel to "The Wild Red Yonder"'s original key, and plays at 170 beats per minute with a 4/4 time signature. Much of the song is played with instruments like electric guitars, synthesizers, and piano, while the second section is slightly shorter and features a prominent saxophone solo. "Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff" plays in both the [[Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff|eponymous stage]] and [[Back to the Battleship]].

Additionally, a more intense and faster arrangement known as '''"Fly to the Exit!"''' plays throughout the Bastron's escape sequence in both of the aforementioned stages. It is an arrangement that largely follows on "The Wild Red Yonder" in terms of structure and key, but is played at a faster 180 beats per minute. The entirety of the song is primarily played on electric guitars and riffs, much like "Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff". Lastly, all three of the aforementioned songs can be unlocked in the [[Jukebox/Kirby and the Rainbow Curse|Music Room]] by completing [[Sky-High Whispy Woods]] for the first time, and the songs can be found as tracks '''88''' ("The Wild Red Yonder"), '''89''' ("Kirby Rocket's Big Blastoff"), and '''91''' ("Fly to the Exit!") respectively.

The second section of "The Wild Red Yonder" (which closely resembles the "Fly to the Exit!" arrangement more in terms of tempo) is used as a leitmotif for the song "[[Dark Crafter Battle]]", referring to the Kirby Rocket transformation being used in the final battle against [[Dark Crafter]]. It is played in C Minor, and is played at 176 beats per minute to match with the rest of the song.
