This is a sub-page of Kirby & the Amazing Mirror/Unused Music and Sounds.

Kirby & the Amazing Mirror hosts some patches of unused music and even instrument samples that, for one reason or another, didn't make it to the main adventure.

The main songtable is located at 00B253E0 in the Japanese version, 00B64334 in the European version, and 00B59ED0 in the American version. The addresses below are from the Japanese version.

Unused Alternate Themes#

Table: 00B25528
Header: 00D1D114
Selectable as track 40 in the Sound Test, this theme is a slightly different version of the regular Speed Eaters theme. It features more marimba and more reverb on various instruments.

Table: 00B25570
Header: 00D1DE98
An alternate version of the theme "Forest/Nature Area". The main difference is very notable, as a very odd string instrument is heard bouncing to the rhythm of the song. It also has echo on the main instrument. It's possible that these instruments were supposed to be disabled in-game.

Table: 00B25578
Header: 00D1E620
A version of the theme "Castle/Building Area" with echo. Like, a lot of it. Basses are lowered one octave in the first position.

Table: 00B25580
Header: 00D1F360
An alternate version of the theme "Ruins Area" with echo, just like with "Castle/Building Area".

Table: 00B25588
Header: 00D200D0
A different version of the "Boss Battle Theme". It has an extra track consisting of brass instruments that can barely be heard, a longer loop point and a different ending. The used version loops at 0:43.

Disabled Instruments#

The track that plays during a Wave Ride match has some flute instruments disabled in-game. They randomly kick in at the middle of the theme, but appear to be very unfinished, as they only play the "RE" note and their mapping is messy. The location of these notes in the song's header starts at 00D1A21B.
