"Fetching Fruit" is a theme from Kirby Mass Attack associated with stage minigames. It was composed by Shogo Sakai.
Composition[edit]
"Fetching Fruit" is a lively theme in C major and 4/4. It starts with a double intro, consisting of a wave-like arpeggiated synth intro similar to those of "Unrivaled Size", followed by xylophone and bouncy, march-like rhythm in the tonic. The brass melody's phrase follows a 3:1 proportion of tonic (second inversion) to dominant, and the same proportion vice versa. The structure and phrasing of this melody are coincidentally similar to "Fountain Gardens". The xylophone plays between the phrases, and is replaced by cymbals at the end. A flute and the xylophone repeat the melody in higher registers. With a quick arpeggio and dominant suspense, the theme transitions to its A minor second section. The violin melody here has smoother motion and a rising tendency. However, its harmonic structure and xylophone phrases remain intact. It also repeats, here in unison with an added octave below. The track loops from the intro without any additional transitions.
