Game appearances[edit]

Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land[edit]

Kirby in the orange skies of Orange Ocean

In both Kirby's Adventure and its remake, Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the theme is used in Orange Ocean - Stage 1, Orange Ocean - Stage 2 and Orange Ocean - Stage 3.

In the Sound Test of Kirby's Adventure, the normal version can be found as Music 2A and a version of it without the intro can be found as Music 2B. In the Sound Test of Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, the theme can be found as Music 07. The Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land arrangement was done by Jun Ishikawa.[3]

Kirby: Canvas Curse[edit]

"Dungeon Dome" from Kirby: Canvas Curse.

A remix of Orange Ocean plays in Dungeon Dome. It features a somewhat faster tempo compared to the original and, like the other arrangements in this game, uses technological instruments.

Kirby Star Allies[edit]

In Kirby Star Allies, the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land arrangement plays as one of the music tracks in the Inside Islands Extra Stage, specifically in the Reef Resort-inspired areas. This version can also be found as Track 77 in the Jukebox as of Version 4.0.0.

Other appearances[edit]

In the Kirby's Adventure soundtrack album, the theme received a vocal remix named 永遠の音符 (Eternal Keynote).

The theme is featured in the episodes A Recipe for Disaster, A Half-Baked Battle and A Chow Challenge in the Japanese version of Kirby: Right Back at Ya!. The same arrangement is also used in Kirby TV Channel.

The theme was performed live in the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert as part of the "Kirby's Adventure Medley". The same medley was later rearranged for Track 3: "Sleeping Like a Baby" of the Kirby Memorial Arrangements album.
