You didn’t think I’d FORGOTTEN about Kirby, did you?? Here’s the #3 most requested song from the 2022 GaMetal Song Ballot: Sword of the Surviving Guardian, the Meta Knight battle theme from Kirby and the Forgotten Land!

I couldn’t go the whole year without doing a KatFL song, could I? Of course not! Kirby music came back in full force this year with Forgotten Land’s release, Kirby’s first 3D adventure, with a soundtrack chock full of bangers.

For starters, we have this whole new Meta Knight theme! It’s an extremely clever mixture of three iconic Kirby Super Star songs commonly associated with Meta Knight: Vs. Meta Knight, Taking Over the Halberd, and My Friend and the Setting Sun.

There’s probably another reference or two snuck in there that I didn’t quite catch, but it’s all there. It’s also really nice to have a Meta Knight battle theme that doesn’t sound so much like Ridley’s Theme from Super Metroid.

This song already had a ton going on, but I did bring back some of that original Vs. Meta Knight for the solo section, I thought it’d make for a cool addition. But then it got compared to Ridley again. All my fault!

Any way, don’t worry, Forgotten Land songs will return. But when? Only time will tell…
