"Hidden Corkboard"[2] is a theme from Kirby Super Star Ultra that may play when viewing the Corkboard after clearing Meta Knightmare Ultra. It was composed by Jun Ishikawa.[1]
Composition[edit]
"Hidden Corkboard" is a triumphant, march-like theme in C major and 4/4. It takes elements from "Corkboard", in particular its G-C ostinato bassline, and general melodic progression. The track starts off with a gradually rising and falling trumpet section in dominant Lydian mode. As it eventually completes an octave, "Kirby's Triumphant Return" comes in its original key, C minor. After reaching its major dominant preparation the first time, it repeats the first phrase, albeit with a variation at the start bringing it close to "Peanut Plains" in a more stable minor key. However, the "Green Greens" preparation then follows properly. The track ends with a bright fanfare of marching alternating C and B-flat, then loops.
