A masked king enters the ring, and he's not holding anything back.

Stale, warm air. Crackling of untamed electricity. An echo punctuating every sound, as the room is utterly empty. All save for three. Even as he stands there, behind his mask, as his hammer whirrs to life, he can't shake the overbearing feeling of regret. For the havoc he's caused in the past? For what he's about to do? For never being good enough to just _win, for once?_ All three, he decides. And that is why he stands here. To finally quell his demons. To make one last attempt to prove himself, putting everything he possibly can into it. *One last fight.* *Winner takes all.*

When clobberin' dat dere Kirbeh needs a full orchestra

I love that the percussion starts out akin to the Triple Deluxe version's, but then it kicks into Super Star Ultra's later

This was Dededelightful to listen to!

I quite like the harpsichord and horns at the start giving it that "regal" feel, only to instantly cast it aside for the ALL-OUT CAGE MATCH OF THE CENTURY

For a while this was my favorite song from any video game ever, and this arrangement REALLY does it justice Those rising notes you added at 0:45 really add this dramatic flair to the song that really underlines the tone it's supposed to have in the story

"It's time for my secret weapon.... NOW YOU PAY, KIRBY!"

No honor, No audience, only you and me Kirby

I'm so glad you noticed the change in instrumentation between the two phrases of the loop, thats one of my favorite bits from the triple deluxe version 🥺🥺

I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS ONE TO GET REMASTERED!!! I always thought your original cover of this theme could use some work and holy crap this revision delivered. It is as glorious as the great king himself.

My absolute favorite song, remixed by one of my favorite artists!

No Dedede, you can't audition for Marble Hornets, that series ended a decade ago

Oh WOW!! This might actually be one of my favorite versions of this theme I’ve ever heard!

Truly, this is a song fit for a king.

A milestone for pretty much any kirby remix maker. And you passed with flying colors.

*Bandana Dee being the last soldier left on the massacre and cheering his king.*

this music ROCKS !!!! it sounds AMAZING

My guy is cooking very well I must say

This makes an already epic battle theme even more epic!! King Dedede will be clobberin' that there Kirby for sure!

Dang I listened to kirby music all day today when I could have listened to this all day.

Ooh those guitars!!

We have been blessed this day

The best way to clobber that dare kirbya is when the gloves are off!

0:32 There was no need to go that hard, yet I applaud your determination for going above and beyond

WOAH! Ok wasn't expecting that DROP! This hits hard!

Banger incoming

another villain from an outer star could try their best to take over, but they always fail to the one already dededere.

Tonight… DeDeDe joins the hunt.

Very Good Medley!

Amazing as always! 👏

NEED TO MASHUP THAT!§§!!!!§§!§

An all-time classic

Me: Try this hammer ability on for size. Time for a Dededefeat!

Yo lets go!

very energetic!

It's so cool.

this makes me want a dark nebula arrangement.

WOW

I wonder if he'll ever do dedede's royal payback from Triple deluxe

When your Twilight Arsenal Super is ready.

I am so, so, SO glad this one got remastered. Out of everything I've heard from you, the original was the only one I'd go as far as to say I genuinely just hated, but this is great.

The Masked King's Revenge!

Now, please do the masked theme from Kirby Super Stacker in 3/4 time signature! ❤

Yes

Da' Wrasslin' Penguinio!

Def one of the best covers I've ever heard of this track, awesome work! I love how punchy the brass sounds btw, if I may ask what sample lib did you use for it?

This is super awesome! Will it be put onto Spotify?

Who'd win, Masked Dedede or The Champ Rawk Hawk?

A theme fit for a king...

Sounds like monster hunter

Time for DeDedestruction!

You could make soldier vs masked spy for team fortress by wazgul.

I'm getting Masked Spy VS. Soldier vibes up in here!

Could you do a Goddess of rott malenia theme remake?

Fuck yeah

HELLO

It sounds a bit like Megalovania, doesn't it?

NGL, I really, REALLY wish that we got a new version of this fight in TFL just so we could see what happens when the Butterfly managed to possess the remnants of that DX3 Clone from Robobot which somehow found it's way into the inner depths of the Lab Discovera. There could've been a while buncha lore dropped implying that the aftermath of the events of Robobot actually traveled through space and time to the Forgotten land and it was with some of this technology that the lost civilization there managed to study and reverse engineer in order to eventually combat Fecto Elfilis when it first arrived and explained how it was able to be captured and split into what would become Elfilin and Fecto Forgo. Admit it, you'd guys like to see this happen too. And it actually somewhat fits into the lore of the game and Robobot. Remember that Star Dream made multiple clones of different bosses like Sectonia and Dark Matter Swordsman. And it is possible that back ups of the DDD clones were made and jettisoned from the Access Arc during the final battle against Star Dream and fell through a wormhole to the Forgotten Land. Star Dream does after all possess an Interstellar Dimensional Warpgate Drive. Or something like that. It could've certainly sent a few of it's less successful prototype creations made from technology from the Nova and Haltmann Works Company in the closing time window it had until Kirby battled it. Plus Morpho Knight and the Butterfly are honestly about the only thing connecting The Forgotten Land and it's events to any other games from before. And this could still certainly tie in without disrupting that because the DX3 clones would've influenced the Forgotten Land long before the events if the game took place. I'll bet if King Dedede went and wandered around a bit deeper his original Bio-Signiture could trigger the release of this old Failed Masked DX3 Clone that was kept in storage through Cryo stasis once Fecto Forgo began it's plan to break out and evolve the other native animals to help it hunt for Elfilin. It probably saw this failed Masked DX3 Clone as a potential threat given it was used as the basis for the capture and splitting of Fecto Elfilis. I'd love to have seen something like this. I really hope that the characters and lore from The Forgotten Land end up getting a proper continuation someday even if it's just part of a new separate game. It's the Kirby Game that we actually know the least of it's lore about other then the possible connection to Shiver Star/Earth and the Technological Ancients spoken by Hyness in Star Allies. And if course Morpho Knight now being confirmed canonically having battled Kirby and actually being able to fuse with ANY ultimate powered being besides just Galacta Knight.

Such an improvement over the old way you did it, good job!
