I thought I'd go back to my ambient roots on this one. And I feel even more happy that Sir Nuts coincidentally picked the source tune two weeks after me playing through it on the Wii's Virtual Console, so yeah :D

I can't help but wonder something with this one. Ribbon, the fairy in charge of restoring the sacred crystal and getting it back to Ripple Star, may be feeling a little bit uncomfortable being on a distant star-shaped planet with her only accomplice being a pink round blob thing. It's become obvious that before her adventure with Kirby, the pair would have to get to know each other as they'd be sticking together for a long time to come. That's how I ended up feeling the way to tackle the source tune.

True to the Kirby feel we have a lot of woodwinds, a lot of chimes and a lot of strings, though I can't help but throw in some of my key percussion parts in as well. I'm handy like that.

Thanks for the feedback in advance :)

<i>One caked-over eye cracked open. It didn't see anything that could be described as having a singular definite shape. But at least it said to the brain: Oi, you're awake now.

King Dedede lie still as his awareness grew. He became aware that he was not in his bed. This panicked him slightly, but then he became aware he wasn't in anyone else's bed either, so this was good news.

He was, in fact, underneath a table. The events of the previous night flooded his memory like... like when you hook up the bathtub's spout to a giant tub of molasses and leave it running all night, he supposed. Molasses with ants in.

The floor was sticky. /Everything/ was sticky. And he was bruised all over. How had he come to this? Right, right... that weird crystal, and... someone kicking the tar out of him with a, a... a flaming sword. Yeah. 's right. And then they'd all gone down to the pub to celebrate their last night on Pop Star and...

Ye gods, he needed another drink.

He remembered vaguely having said to someone, "I bet I can down more pints of scotch than you!" He remembered losing the bet horridly.

What was it his opponent had said?

Oh, yes.

"Hiiiii!"</i>

(Well, it was fun to do, at least.)

Well, this song was just asking to be mixed in either Happy Hardcore or Hands-Up Eurodance. I chose Happy Hardcore since it was less work, heh. Here it is. You have my permission to jump-jump-jump your little feet off!

Again it's not putting my best mixing foot forward, but hey what can you expect in the span of a few days? Hope you like it anyways!
