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. It also plays during the gameplay demo after waiting on the title for a bit. Notably, in the European and Australian NES and Wii Virtual Console versions 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, named "A 3D Adventure! Kirby's Blowout Blast". This version slightly follows up from the remix in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, but now makes use of more modern instrumentation. The song now features a new percussion line combined with the use of conga drums and crash cymbals. In addition, a short jingle based on the theme plays on the HOME menu when hovering over the game's icon.

Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe

In Merry Magoland, an electronic dance 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
