Poyo!

Who's Kirby?

Kirby is the unstoppable puffball with an infinite appetite.

Staring in a pretty awesome series of games produced by HAL and published by Nintendo, Kirby is known for swallowing his enemies whole and copying their abilities.

Don't let his small stature and cute demeanor fool you! Kirby spends much of his time protecting his friends, planet, and food from demonic horrors that would otherwise threaten the entire universe.

what are some minor/subtle kirby details that you'd like to gush/complain/infodump about? #kirby

trying out the microblog thing here on kbin, let's see what this looks like on lemmy.world

edit: yay for more federation-related issues. if you want to contribute to this post from lemmy.world or lemm.ee... well, i personally wouldn't mind seeing each minor observation in its own standalone thread. i'll make a lemmy.world repost if i really have to...

it shows up on lemmy.world... though i can't reply to it from there, which is a problem

anyway, the way crowned transitions into its climax is pretty neat. this is how the song is structured:

intro (0:00-0:12): magolor, the far flung traveler
main (0:12-1:08) {
    original melody (0:15-0:49)
    the adventure begins (0:41-0:54);
    magolor, the far-flung traveler (0:54-1:08)
}
repeat (1:08-1:50) {
    original melody (1:11-1:37)
    the adventure begins (1:37-1:47)
    magolor, the far-flung traveler (1:47-1:50)
}
climax (1:50-2:23): green greens (1:50-1:57); kirby's triumphant return (1:57-2:11)

notice how the repeat of magolor, the far-flung traveler is much shorter than the first time though? instead of letting the adventure begins play out in full and then transitioning into MtFFT, only a short excerpt of MtFFT plays to transition us from the adventure begins into the iconic green greens + triumphant return climax of the song. i think this little modification to the song structure is pretty cool! the rhythm in that little bit is really satisfying in my opinion.
