Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards - Miracle Matter Battle Theme

[@SlippyBoyOfficial]

Hearing how hard this song goes and then taking a look at the box art for the game its from gave me whiplash

[@mycoinsyourpurse2244]

Kirby final bosses get dark pretty often ha. It's kind of a recurring theme.

[@SlippyBoyOfficial]

[@MarthaRoseQuartz]

Thats why I love Kirby hahahaha

[@M3chaniz3r]

First time you fight this boss, you hear the opening and you think its going to be just like all the other bosses, then you hear the opening change as this song comes in and you realize that you are in for one hell of a fight...

[@lemmykoopa1379]

Probably one of the coolest fights because it uses all of the combined copy abilities’ powers against you

[@LocalSUFan]

This actually happened to me! I have a playlist of all Kirby Boss themes, and I thought I had looped the 64 boss theme, but I hadn't! So when this song came on, the intro actually made me think it was still the normal boss theme! Lol!!

This song actually sounds sort of like an "upside-down" version of the normal boss theme, if you can imagine it. Take the sheet music, flip it upside down, and play the notes as if they were right-side-up.

+Dark Matter Then you need to hear the zero-two battle theme.

[@dreamlandkirby6422]

+Rartrin I personally think this is better than the Zero two theme. Which is strange because I usually prefer the slow and dramatic second themes of kirby. But this is just too awesome.

[@kendrickjensen9851]

Chills I got good sir

[@XxSUPASPAZxX]

Considering they brought back Galacta Knight and Dark Meta Knight and gave them awesomely remixed versions of their themes, I feel like Miracle Matter should come back as the hidden boss in the next Kirby game....whenever that is.

[@Zeder966]

XxSUPASPAZxX I mean he was more fun than 02...

[@denpadolt9242]

They should make KPR DLC that makes Miracle an optional boss that you fight with the Robobot Armor. That way Miracle Matter's gimmick would remain.

[@ilrosol3606]

Man this boss was unfair af. Immune all the times, except when he attacks, than he is vulnerable to only one elements. Once you get used to all of his abilities it's more than doable, but i just think it defeats the main philosophy behind kirby: Choose any ability you like and beat asses with it.

[@InkoPeako]

[@supersmashbro596]

[@TheAmazingRowen]

I think 02 and Miracle Matter are equally difficult. Miracle Matter was hard because he changed forms quickly, so you had a smaller frame of time to hit him. 02 was hard because it was the first and only time you used the shooter perspective. So you have to learn and get used to the controls, while trying to kill and dodge 02's attacks. Not to mention the handling is bad.

[@MagnaCarterGT]

This has strong Metroid Prime vibes. Metroid Prime 2, to be specific. And this was a full four years before that!

[@whyhesoears]

genuinely wish there was more boss music like this, while i dig dramatic orchestral arrangements whatnot, theres something about a extremely intense and extreme song like this that utilizes these record scratches and synths, im surprised theres no amen break in here too! i feel like the only other song that has a similar energy is your best nightmare from the undertale soundtrack, but perhaps thats because i havent been looking in the right spots, easily one of my favorite boss songs of all time
