Ripple Field is one of the more relaxing themes in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]''. This theme doesn't really have an intro, so it starts with the first portion. This said first portion is in the key of C major and the melody is played with some sort of wave instrument. This melody is played once again,  but with a different lead instrument (a trumpet sounding one). After this, the second portion starts, and is played in E-flat major. This portion is played with a synth. A short while after this, the theme seems to descend (it transitions back to the key of C), and the song loops.

This melody is played once again, but with a different lead instrument (a trumpet sounding one). After this, the second portion starts, and is played in E-flat major.
