2024-08-14 21:11:09 +0000 UTCIf you remember Welcome Your New Overlord, CROWNED is the phase 2 to its phase 1. Something cool about CROWNED is how it incorporates a lot of the game's themes (main theme, title theme, etc) into it, something that a lot of Kirby final boss themes do! This video showcases the different motifs in it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKmg_HU9JQE), though be warned that it does play 10 seconds of a few tracks you haven't heard (and the track they titled "Lor Starcutter Interior" is actually the boss's character theme). Many of the recent Kirby final bosses will have a phase 1 theme where Jun Ishikawa goes wild, then a phase 2 theme where Hirokazu Ando slows down the tempo and beautifully throws all the game's main themes together. My favorite Kirby track... that's a difficult one, but if I had to pick one, I'd go with 'Mistilteinn, Tree Crown Without a Ruler'. (Fun fact, that song uses CROWNED as a prominent leitmotif!) Not only do I love the way it sounds based on instrumentation, I love the way it reframes CROWNED from menacing to heroic, and how it foreshadows a wild plot twist by incorporating a certain theme into much of the track. Not to mention its name -- it would take me like another paragraph to explain it, but just trust me when I say it has a ton of layers. (I believe this track is actually requested, so when you get around to that, maybe I'll explain!) The track isn't dynamic, but the battle IS designed in a way that most people will get to a certain cinematic attack during a very fitting time as well. Overall, just a very memorable theme, combined with my personal bias for the game it's from.

2024-08-14 06:23:58 +0000 UTCGreen greens is like the super mario bros 1-1 theme, quintessential and remixed constantly. It takes place in a verdant forest with grass and greenery everywhere. You could do a hyrule castle style reaction to every one and it would be about an hour long as many games have remixes of the iconic track. Some of my favorites are the Melee, Epic Yarn, and a full remix from Kirby’s Dream Collection called Electro Kirby

2024-08-14 05:10:57 +0000 UTCKirby in the original game was colored black and white due to the original game boy’s monochrome screen. He was designed from the beginning to be pink but the English localizers only knew about the in game colors so they made him black and white. Kirby’s creator, Masahiro Sakurei, fought shigeru miyamoto on the color from the original design as he wanted yellow while Sakurei wanted the iconic pink. In the end pink won and yellow was enshrined as player 2 in every single Kirby game with multiplayer. The black and white Kirby still shows up as an alternate color that Kirby can take in games where he has costume colors. It’s nice when game developers reference their old stuff.

2024-08-14 01:54:36 +0000 UTCYes, green greens was referenced in that suite. A minor version of the theme played in the last section, first played by piano, then by .. chiptune! The green greens theme appears in most game, if not every game. It's the name of the first stage of the first game, it's often repurposed or remixed in later games The last section of CROWNED also includes the green greens motif All the world names of the game start with a letter, if you combine them you get CROWNED. In the end, the one who wanted to use the crown for power, got possessed by the crown itself. My favourite song is "Moonlight Capital" from Kirby Triple Deluxe, i recently sent it in the poll
