"Mountain Stage" is a musical piece originally from Kirby's Adventure, which primarily plays in Yogurt Yard in that game. It was composed by Hirokazu Ando.
Game appearances[edit]

The theme plays upon accessing Yogurt Yard for the first time, and subsequently in most of the level's stages. It also plays in other mountainous stages, such as stage 2 of Ice Cream Island.

A remix of "Mountain Stage", named "A Forest Hike", can be heard in multiple forest areas in the game, one of them being Fine Fields - Stage 4. It has an orchestral sound and a focus on bass, and also plays in a lower key than the original. It's arranged by the original composer, Hirokazu Ando.

A rock-style remix of the theme can be unlocked by collecting one of the Treasure Chests found in the Gondola Ride stage, to then be played in the Music Room.
