Kirby's Return to Dream Land - Fly, Kirby! / Welcome Your New Overlord | Reacting To VGM!

[@bug-deal]

14:33 nearly every kirby game has this jarring a shift by the final boss, it's badass

[@laggalot1012]

The creator of Kirby, Masahiro Sakurai, once briefly talked about the series's inception, and according to that, he was initially doubted quite a bit on his first game when presenting his ideas for it (he wanted it to be a game that a beginner could play, during a time where most games were rather unforgiving.) But he went through with it anyway, and the rest is history, as they say. So that thing about "being yourself" and being bold despite an idea initially maybe seeming stupid? One could argue it's always been rooted within the series, I think. Sakurai left the series's developer HAL Laboratories long ago now - Return to Dreamland wasn't his game - but I think Kirby has managed to retain that identity in spite of that. Related note and a slight tangent, Sakurai is currently uploading to a KZbin channel as a project where he talks about game design and everything surrounding that, and that's where he talked about this story with Kirby as well. It's quite fascinating.

Fun facts about Kirby music. Kirby music has a very distinct sound and thats because they repurpose the old soundfonts from the SNES days and refine it while adding modern sounds. Forgotten Land is the only time they completely ditch the OG sounds but I think it gives it a certain charm.

[@korbytooth]

I think they didn't ditch at all the sounds Like the more industry parts felt very Robobot kinda inspired Wich

[@supremekirb]

Star Allies was the first one to move away proper, I think

[@URFTBOUND4LIFE]

In case nobody has mentioned it, Kirby actually had a orchestra concert with having various melodies from past games to celebrate its recent anniversary.

[@dysr]

To answer your question about how long the composers have worked on the series, Jun Ishikawa has been with the series since the beginning, having composed all the music for the first game Kirby’s Dream Land (1992). Hirokazu Ando started with the second game Kirby’s Adventure (1993), and the two have been the main composers for the series until Yuuta Ogasawara joined with Kirby Star Allies (2017) and Yuki Shimooka with the second soundtrack release for Kirby cafe (2019). Fun fact about “Fly Kirby!”’s composer Hirokazu Ando, he doesn’t actually account for playability when composing music. This results in a rather unique feel to many of his pieces. The main design philosophy of the Kirby series is that the games are simple and forgiving enough to be easily approachable for someone who has never played any games to pick up, but have enough depth to still keep experienced players interested. This is reflected all over the series, including Kirby’s physics, the copy ability system, how the series handles its storytelling and lore, the mini-games, and of course, music. For example, one of the series’s main themes Green Greens has a simple melody that’s easy to pick up even for non-musicians, but even that has some tricky harmonies which can challenge medium-level musicians.

[@ChristopherMoom]

Great comment, love seeing people spread the names of Ishikawa and Ando

[@TheBeserkerLord]

What's funny is that Kirby didn't even start out with the ability to absorb enemy powers. In the first game, he just inhaled and exhaled everything. The second game introduced the power copying and the rest is history. The original version of Gourmet Race is from Kirby Super Star on the SNES, so most likely you haven't heard it, no. "Welcome Your New Overlord" is yet another Kirby final boss theme (and not even the last phase of said boss. That would be C-R-O-W-N-E-D, which is also on your list.) You'll see those get requested a LOT, and for very good reason. Honestly, as a first Kirby game, Return to Dream Land is actually a very good place to start. It pretty much codifies everything that is modern Kirby. The Deluxe version is a remake that recently came out on the Switch, so it's also easily accessible for you. Hypothetically speaking, of course. :P

9:24 well you're in luck, if you want to hear Kirby music performed by an orchestra there's the "Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert", which contains select medleys of Kirby games throughout the years at that point. I highly recommend it.

[@Sparkymuffin]

@@JarryMingles And if you can find archives, the 30th anniversary music fest is incredible with an orchestra and big band. The first track here was part of it as well. They also turned the final boss of Star Allies into a Four Movement suite and it's incredible.

[@karbyboi8489]

16:58 In regards about that your absolutely right 😂There's a KZbinr/Streamer, 8-bit drummer. He plays video game music on drums. On one of his streams he was performing a theme from Kirby return to Dreamland and it was galacta knights theme. If you know what the theme sounds like then you KNOW how hard it is to play on drums but 8-but drummer actually managed to play the whole one with like 1 mistake. Live orchestras and professional musicians are no joke

[@SacredFaerie]

Hey! Glad to see you finally do a battle theme by Ishikawa! The first theme you listened to is "Fly, Kirby!" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land. Fun fact, based on internal filenames, it's most likely that this song was originally composed for a level that takes place on the Halberd, which is Meta Knight's battleship, for a cancelled Kirby game for the GameCube. However, that's completely different from the context it's used for in Return to Dream Land. This one is composed by Hirokazu Ando, who joined the series on the second game and is credited as "Lead Sound" in basically all the games. Unfortunately, it seems you used an upload from Gilvasunner. For some reason, Gilvasunner's Return to Dream Land uploads are incredibly low quality and compressed unlike their usual upload quality, so the song sounded way more bit-crunched than it is in-game. Of course, it doesn't matter that much, especially when the point of the video is to talk about the composition rather than the sound quality. 7:50 Fun fact, but Kirby's signature power of copying his opponent's abilities was not in the first Kirby game. Kirby's original appeal was simply that he ate star-shaped debris kicked up by enemy attacks and spat them back out at his opponents. Being able to swallow his opponents or projectiles for abilities was introduced in the second game. The second theme is Welcome Your New Overlord. The Deluxe version is a remake that came out 12 years later, the music is just given some reverb and slightly higher synth quality, otherwise the music is basically unchanged. This one is composed by Jun Ishikawa, who has been composing for the series since the first game. At 12:00 you mentioned how the guitar somewhat sounded like an electric guitar but also doesn't, the secret to it is actually really simple, the guitar in the song is sped up to maybe around 2x, it sounds more like natural guitar playing when the song is played at half speed. You mentioned wanting to hear both these themes orchestrated. Well there's actually an orchestral version medley of these two themes in the official album that only goes by the title "Bonus Track: Last Battle". Specifically, it's a medley of four songs, Let Me Explain Everything, "Fly, Kirby!", Welcome Your New Overlord, and CROWNED. With you having heard these two themes, I eagerly await the day you might listen to CROWNED, which is the phase 2 to Welcome Your New Overlord, and "Mistilteinn, Tree Crown Without a Ruler", which is like a response to CROWNED newly composed for the Deluxe remake in a newly added mode. In terms of first Kirby game, this game Return to Dream Land Deluxe is actually a great starting point, because it's a remake of the game that's considered the start of the modern era. The other very good choice would be Kirby and the Forgotten Land, also for the Switch, which is the most recent Kirby game besides RtDL DX being a remake.

[@TrickLunar]

I knew you would comment here, I remembered that you uploaded yor favorite parts of modern kirby osts

[@D1ab0lical]

Funny thing about the "remastered" version of Welcome Your New Overlord is that the only thing they changed was that they added a second guitar to the part at 13:01.

[@jellycore1316]

I hear it! XD Oh my gosh I've heard the original one so much and was paying attention to any things I didn't recognize, after reading your comment, then I heard it! X3 Thanks for pointing that out, that's so cool!

[@TopOfAllWorlds]

That's actually really subtle but adds quite nicely to that lol

[@IllegallySam]

If I had to pick a single Kirby game for someone to play, Kirby and the Forgotten Land would be the best choice, in my opinion. It’s the most recent new mainline Kirby game (and yes, it’s the one you referenced in the video), and also Kirby’s first full 3D game. Arguably the best game in the series, it’s a game I’d recommend to pretty much anyone. The one issue with the Switch is that it doesn’t have all of Kirby’s best games on there, but it does have a lot of them, Forgotten Land included.

[@clasherinotheone5249]

@@IllegallySam i think planet robobot is by far the best game in the series

[@Aidan_004]

Really hoping we get ports of SSU, Epic Yarn, Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot to either the Switch or Switch 2, cause other than those four all of the essential Kirby games are available on Switch already. Like you said, though, Forgotten Land is certainly the best starting point.

unfortunately the version of Fly, Kirby! in this vid is pretty bitcrushed compared to the actual song, but its still such a banger, and Welcome Your New Overlord is as well :) Glad you liked them!

[@SophisticatedGoat222]

If you're interested in live orchestral Kirby music, there's concerts for the 25th and 30th anniversaries. The 25th anniversary one mainly focuses on medleys, playing almost no full songs, and generally slows down the tempo and tries to sound whimsical. The 30th anniversary one is my preferred concert, playing songs as a more direct adaptation but fusing in a lot of jazz elements. The live version of The Star-Conquering Traveler is absolute ear candy.

[@cattooma]

A good starting kirby game would be Return to Dreamland Deluxe since it's on switch and it's a very "vanilla" kirby game

[@jellycore1316]

MORE KIRBYY THANK YOU I can also 100% recommend both "Kirby's Return To Dream Land Deluxe" (a remake of a very beloved fan favourite Kirby game that does represent a lot of Kirby very well, I think) and "Kirby & The Forgotten Land" (the newest main entry, which is different but still VERY Kirby and really amazing, in my opinion!)! Both of them (including the original of Return To Dream Land) are two of my favourite Kirby games, personally, they're both really great! ^^ Thank you again for the reaction, I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

[@bonsouare2986]

The leitmotiv at the end of "Fly Kirby / Another Dimension" is one of the two MAIN leitmotiv of the Kirby serie 😊

[@dr_rl123]

Oh, how I adore "Fly, Kirby!"

[@danitabori]

It's one of my favourites. It doesn't get reued enough though in my opinion, like Dire dire docks from SM64. I was disappointed when in the last DLC of Star Allies they didn't use this song, it was called heroes in another dimension and this song takes place in the another dimension level...

[@pocketvert4622]

The "clacking" sound is probably a soundfont imitating one used for or maybe directly from the Gameboy. As in the old gray brick that the first game was released on. They probably prematurely terminated each note to give an unusual sound while matching up with the BPM of the track.

[@hiccupasterisk]

Kirby's Return to Dreamland has to date my favorite soundtrack in the series but honestly asking me to pick one is like asking me who my favorite child is lol.

[@vicctretamaj]

HELL YE, more Kirby babeee! Always love seeing Kirby music get some respect, and two BANGERS from RTDL and Deluxe (remake for Switch)! Ok so, Fly Kirby Fly (another dimension) is a song during the final act, leading to the final boss. There are two motifs in this long actually. The first is the main theme of Return to Dreamland specifically “cookie country” (2:26). The second motif is a song you’ll hear throughout the series called “Kirby’s Triumphant return” (2:43). It dates back to Kirby Super Star on SNES. The motif even plays in the hopefully next Kirby final boss theme “CROWNED” so try to look out for that! “Under My Control” is the first phase of the final boss theme in Return to Dreamland. There are a lot of different themes and motifs seemingly mixed in, tho not confirmed really. It’s a fast paced banger, as the second phase is a little more grandiose. You’re right on the money, it’s introducing the final boss, as there are two phases. Can’t wait for more Kirby songs as always

I just started dreamland deluxe the other day and the music is amazing unsurprisingly Kirby music has such a strong identity like you said. I love how they’ve stuck with certain patches throughout the years like Fantasia from the D50 and ARR1 from the Fairlight CMI

[@Fefe65800]

I love "welcome your new overlord", it's very overshadowed by CROWNED, which plays in the same fight. It really FEELS like the boss has a chaotic amount of energy, way more than he can handle. Its quick, energetic and and the slightly off-tempo part at 13:57 really gives an idea of trying to control a power thats bigger than you.

[@Kirb_Vee]

To answer your question, I think two very good picks for a "first" kirby game would probably be Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Or Return to Dreamland Deluxe. Forgotten Land is a very new direction to Kirby, being it's first fully 3D game - and is an amazing start for everyone as it brings in a lot of new while keeping the best parts of the old. Return To Dreamland Deluxe is actually a switch remaster of the original Wii game, but is also an excellent choice if you're going for the typical style of Kirby. Plenty of unique (and extremely fun) abilities to try, amazing music - fantastic story (which has even more to it in this remaster). This game is a fan favourite in general, but the remaster made it even better! I also wanted to say as orchestras was brought up - that Kirby has had many throughout the years! Most notably the one for its 25th anniversary, and it's 30th. Both can be found around online, so maybe you can give them a listen sometime! The 30th is definitely my favourite though...I find myself amazed at how well they capture the game's tracks so faithfully (especially the boss themes.. They've got a whole medley for that one) and it's just. Genuinely too good...I get goosebumps just from listening to them each time. 😅

[@buckshotboo24]

Oh sweet, someone actually recommended my favorite song from Kirby. Welcome Your New Overlord (or Under My Control) has such good energy and layering to everything that was put into it. There’s just the right sense of tension and strife in it all. It is my go-to final boss music in games as a whole.

[@arjanzweers6542]

My pick as the first Kirby game woud be Kirby's Adventure on the NES. It is the first game with the copy ability and the game and its music have aged amazingly well. You can play it on the Switch through Nintendo's Switch Online.

[@gwolft6996]

For your information the deluxe version is a full remake of the original Wii game, which is available on switch!

[@SumiYokai]

iirc, "Fly, Kirby" is also used as the main combat theme in Kirby Fighters (the sub game in Kirby Triple Deluxe)

[@vicctretamaj]

Will say, for the first Kirby game, with switch, Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe is a great place to start, as it’s where the modern era begins under the new director. Forgotten Land is GOATED, and a decent place to start due to how different everything feels, but it doesn’t give you quite the “Kirby vibe” of that makes sense. Like, that’s the point on the game, it’s supposed to be new and interesting, but Deluxe, while not as good, is still a great place to start while seeing tons of Kirby history in one package

[@astridr1288]

You reacted to Welcome Your New Overlord!!! I'm so happy! I would recommend Return to Dreamland Deluxe because it falls right between modern and classic Kirby Gameplay⭐ Also Jun Ishikawa works since the beginning of Kirby and Hirokazu Ando since Kirby's Adventure (second game) ✨

[@ThePoltergust5000]

No matter how many times I listen to Welcome Your New Overlord/Under My Control, the bit RIGHT before it loops always just makes me stop breathing for a bit. The way it POUNDS on those, like... _galloping triplets_ UP, and DOWN, and UP and DOWN before LANDING HARD on those _three SOLID_ BEATS on the very last measure before it loops, just GOD. 13:25 here, 1:55 in the song itself. That's not even the only time either, like-- all over the song, the melody just feels like it _breaks free_ of the beat just to _hit_ even harder, like the whole bit starting at 13:56 where it keeps hesitating and "hopping on and off" the beat/offbeat. It's so cool sdjkghksd

[@bakedroyal_727]

Hirokazo Ando was also the composer of the first two Smash Bros games

[@Gigi9714]

I'm so so happy someone finally reacted to my favorite song ever, Welcome Your New Overlord. Love your commentary, glad you enjoyed it! As for first Kirby game, I 100% recommend Return to Dream Land (base Wii game, or Deluxe, the Switch remake). It's a good game and a good introduction to Kirby has a whole. I know some people recommend Forgotten Land but I don't agree, it's very different from other games and not a good gateway to the series for that reason; Kirby has multiple 2D platformers, but only one 3D mainline platformer, hence why. Alternatively, since you have a Switch, Star Allies is a good first game too, if you're up for something more casual.

[@justaguy12345]

Honestly Kirby's Adventure (NES) still holds up. It has really poppy fun chiptune songs, a big variety of levels, and even pushes the NES to its limits with some of its graphical effects. I would start there, or Kirby's Return to Dreamland (Wii/Switch).

[@cattooma]

And this is just phase 1 of the final boss! And yes, these 2 composers have been ehre since the start. Only since the Switch era we started getting more composers(up to 4), but i feel like the new ones don't hit like the old ones

These two songs are some of my favs from Return to Dreamland, let alone from this series. Also Kirby gets a badass moment in the Final Boss where he slices them wih a giant sword, and I mean a GIANT sword. It plays between near the end of Welcome your new overlord and CROWNED.

[@twinklingphoton]

[@Agent_Deko_]

I would definetly recommend Forgotten Land. Its the first ever 3D Kirby game and the music, gameplay and artstyle are just so beautiful.

[@mslabo102s2]

Welcome Your New Overlord must have been designed alongside with C-R-O-W-N-E-D. WYNO is a more traditional, frantic Kirby boss theme, but once you hit phase 2, you're blasted with orchestral grandiose that is C-R-O-W-N-E-D, which indicates the shift in direction where every corner of Kirby's adventure is one epic saga.

[@siverwrites]

Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe is probably a great first choice albeit I'm not the hugest Kirby fan though I do enjoy them. If you have NSO there's some older Kirby games there too. It's fun to hear the music on its own. I played co-op with family and that gets loud and chaotic so between that and just focusing on playing it's easy to miss things.

[@kingnewgameplus6483]

Honestly, the second song would fit right in with shin megami tensei. I imagined fighting minoutar to this and it was a perfect fit.

[@AdamSongbird]

Kirby and the Forgotten Land on the Switch is a great place to start, that was Kirby’s big jump to 3D and they really knocked it put of the park. If you wanted to go a little more old school I’d highly recommend Kirby Super Star on the SNES, which can be played with a basic Nintendo Switch Online subscription. It really set the standard for 2D Kirby, and has a ton of character and variety packed into a fairly short and well paced game (It’s also the origin of Gourmet Race!)

[@nathanperquin9910]

unironically do love the masked dedede and masked meta knight song from kirby fighters 2, its a mixup of the king dedede theme and meta knights revenge themes

[@ashnackDEblogspot]

I'd start with the NES Kirby or the SNES one. Both of them show how long ago the formula was honed and working. My favorite is the latest game (which I think is an incredible feat of moving 2d gameplay to 3d), but it's an evolution of the genre that is more appreciated once you've seen a bit of the classic formula. (The games are usually on the easy side (But sometimes ramp up incredibly for the post game contents) and shorter than most, so they are just long enough to make you want a bit more) I've heard that in Japan, Kirby is as popular as Mario or even more so.

[@nathanperquin9910]

if you have a switch, the nintendo snes collection that comes with your nintendo sub has kirby superstars, wich is a collection of kirby games, its an amazing starting point, but honestly pretty much all the kirby games are good

[@HorseyWorsey]

If you're brand new to Kirby you should start at "Kirby Super Star / Ultra" no exceptions. It has 8 different 'small' adventures that each have their own slightly different feel. That's where the Kirby Franchise really had something a bit more powerful (the SNES) to make stuff after having several game iterations that fleshed out the concept. From there you can pick what you want based on other recommendations.

[@GeekMasterGames]

Really ought to do a reaction to Gourmet Race to make sure!

[@cyrushalberd624]

I’ve always heard “Welcome Your New Overlord” titled as “Under My Control” instead before now, so I guess I learned something today! “Fly, Kirby!” is the track that plays for the last gameplay segment before the final boss and plays continuously for the entire stage including its boss. It uses a different gameplay style from most of the game up to that point, so it has a bit of a district feeling compared to most other tracks in the game. “Welcome Your New Overlord”/“Under My Control” is the track for the first part of the final boss fight itself. The track for the second half “CROWNED” is probably more famous, but for most of the time I’ve been a fan of the series I have actually preferred the first phase instead.

[@PlayBugFables]

MORE KIRBY YEAHHHHHHH

[@laggalot1012]

For a first Kirby game, I think either Return to Dreamland (Switch remake) or Forbidden Land is the way to go. Kirby has its roots in being a 2D platformer, which you’ll get with Return to Dreamland, and I think it represents the overall series very well. But Forbidden Land also plays fantastically and I am very keen on how it evolves the series going into full 3D for the first time, without straying from what made the series so beloved. Though honestly, you almost can't go wrong with any core Kirby game, this series's quality is remarkably consistent and most will have a hard time picking out an actively bad game from the core series. There's also a slew of experimental spin-offs besides that, though your mileage may vary a bit more there, admittedly.

Kirby is a pretty reliable series to have a good soundtrack. Even nowadays when Mario and Metroid isn't really doing it for me. I was so disappointed by Super Mario Odyssey and Super Mario Bros Wonder. They have good songs, but not that many and not as good as Galaxy for example. Metroid Dread's soundtrack just bored me. They could've at least put Kraid's lair into if the bring back Kraid after such a long time. I don't care for the new songs in Samus Returns either. Another one on the Switch: Yoshi's Crafted World. That soundtrack sucks so much. When I play the factory level, I always play factory level themes from Kirby and DK games lol. So I was very happy when Kirby and the forgotten land had such an amazing soundtrack. I'm not a fan of the final boss theme (in that regard Star dream is my favourite) but compared to how little they remix in that game, it's incredible how many awesome songs there are. Also the brought back the Wii game which alread had a great soundtrack and changed some at the ending and added new ones for the new modes. So that's one aspect why I'm always excited for a new Kirby announcement. You never know what an awesome soundtrack you will get.
