"Forest/Nature Area" is a music track that first appeared in Kirby & The Amazing Mirror. It was composed by either Hironobu Inagaki or Atsuyoshi Isemura.
Composition
Kirby finds a lucky 1-Up in the middle of the forest.
Forest/Nature Area has a steady 4/4 beat and is in the key of F# (sharp)/G flat-major. The theme has a rather triumphant tone to it, with trumpets and drums to go along with it. The first portion of this theme starts with the main melody, with an instrument that bears liking to a steel drum. The portion following it is much louder, changing the key to E flat minor for a moment. After repeating a beat with triplets 2 times (with more instruments being added the second time), the song loops.
