"How Many Did We Hit?" is the secondary results screen theme from Kirby's Return to Dream Land and its remake. It was composed by Jun Ishikawa.[1]
Composition
"How Many Did We Hit?" is a simple, triumphant theme in C major. Its main instrumentation consists of a frequent brass-synth section playing a spread-out chord progression of "I–ii–iii–ii" (similar to that of "Standings") in a dotted quarter beat while also mustering its tonality. Key changing to G-flat major, the theme enters its pinnacle as the brass creates a rising progression with accidentals present, concluding with a subdominant chord before resoluting back to C major, looping the theme.
