"Level 3 Map Select"[Japanese title] is a small theme from Kirby's Adventure and its remake that plays in the level hub of Butter Building.
Composition[edit]
"Level 3 Map Select" is a stage select theme in E-flat major in 4/4 that plays at roughly 150 BPM. It is written like a march, with strong emphasis of each beat: this is emphasized further in the rendition from Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, where the melody is played by two trumpets.
Rhythm is a strong focus of the theme, with a continuous, triplet-based melody based around rising and descending clusters, as well as a pounding bass line. The melody and progression of its second section bears a strong resemblance to the backing arpeggio of "Butter Building", the main stage theme of its respective level.
Game appearances[edit]
