Overview[edit]
Unlike many themes, there is no one game over theme or jingle, and whether a familiar jingle will be used again or a new one is composed varies from game to game. Another thing that varies between games is whether the tune is carried by a jingle, a full song, or both. Almost every game has a game over jingle/theme, exceptions being Kirby's Dream Buffet, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Kirby Battle Royale, Kirby Slide, Kirby's Toy Box, and Kirby and the Forgotten Land, none of which feature the game over itself as a game mechanic. This page discusses multiple versions of the game over theme.
Kirby's Dream Land[edit]
The Kirby's Dream Land game over jingle is a sorrowful, dissonant tune lasting shortly over five seconds, and like most jingles, does not loop. It is by far the most common version of the game over jingle, being used very frequently up until Kirby's Return to Dream Land, which contains a distinct jingle that nonetheless sounds very similar. This theme was used in Kirby's Dream Land 3 as well as several spin-offs.
Kirby's Adventure[edit]
Strangely, the Kirby's Adventure jingle is rather short and chipper, being only three seconds long. It also features in Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and Kirby: Squeak Squad, with the arrangements used being practically the exact same.
