At the Bottom

At the Bottom "At the Bottom": "Sunken Ship": "Skull Tower": Various arrangements of "At the Bottom" from Kirby Mass Attack. Details Debut appearance Kirby Mass Attack (2011) Composer(s) Shogo Sakai

"At the Bottom" is a stage theme from Kirby Mass Attack associated with the underwater areas of Dedede Resort. It was composed by Shogo Sakai.

Composition

The Kirbys find Stoneik at the bottom of the sea.

"At the Bottom" is an eerie theme in A minor and 4/4. It borrows the motif of "Boss Prelude": the reverberated string melody consists of a sequence of descending major thirds repeating the lower note, with the primary difference from "Boss Prelude" being the extension of the sequence. At its bottom, it revolves around the leading tone and returns to the tonic with a double bass counterpoint. This repeats, and then for the third time, high-pitched arpeggiatos and more frequent double bass phrases are added. The final resolution omits the double bass phrase, instead separating the static main string third and high arpeggiato counterpoint. The track loops after this.
