It's Kirby's 30th Anniversary And There May Be Plans To Celebrate

Not only did we get a solid release date for the next Kirby adventure today, but it's also time to celebrate the pink puffball's three decades of video games.

2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the Kirby series! Please look forward to a variety of #Kirby30 activities coming soon. pic.twitter.com/BZO1rz4LwC — 星のカービィ (@Kirby_JP) January 12, 2022

The Kirby Twitter account posted about the milestone this morning. The tweet reads, "2022 marks the 30th anniversary of the Kirby series! Please look forward to a variety of #Kirby30 activities coming soon." A prior tweet actually announced the anniversary in Japanese and shared a link to a "teaser site" with commemorative wallpapers to celebrate the occasion. A rough translation of the tweet states there may be other "goods and campaigns" coming down the line. For now, the adorable wallpapers are a great way to start Kirby's year.

Kirby's Dreamland was released in 1992 for the Game Boy, soon after becoming one of the must-have games for the handheld system, at least for me. Its easygoing platforming and whimsical stages and characters set the stage for Kirby's subsequent adventures on the NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, and so on. Here's a fun fact about the first game: its Japanese title, Hoshi no Kirby, translates to "Kirby of the Stars," which explains the absorbent hero's penchant for riding and coughing up stars.

What do you want to see from the Kirby 30th anniversary? Are there any lost or forgotten Kirby adventures you'd like to see collected for Switch or elsewhere? Let us know in the comments below!

Studying the Factory

"Studying the Factory" [2] is a recurring musical theme in the Kirby franchise , which first appeared in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards . It was composed by Jun Ishikawa and is associated primarily with industrial levels and settings. The theme makes use of heavy percussion, much of which resembles the regular clashing sounds of metal and machinery. Unlike most songs which originated in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards , the theme has been reused many times and is a perennial fixture in the series.

Composition [ edit ]

"Studying the Factory" is a somber tune with a slow-paced tempo of 76 beats per minute. This stands in stark contrast to most fast-paced and upbeat songs from the Kirby series. It begins with the sounds of a starting car and a heavy drumbeat, and then continues with a subdued melody in A minor for the first segment. Orchestra hits, low strings, and bagpipes are added in the second segment, followed by a third section with a more melodic third section in B flat minor, driven by clarinet and sampled vocals (both solo and choral). This gives way to a darker final section consisting of repeated, discordant piano strikes, ultimately looping back to the beginning. Much of the percussion for the song makes use of rhythmic sound effects of pounding and crunching metal, such as might be heard at an industrial assembly line.

The waveforms and samples created for "Studying the Factory" would be reused in the same game to create Miracle Matter's theme . There are some later songs in the series that are thematically similar, as well, such as " Burning, Churning Power Plant " from Kirby and the Forgotten Land (also composed by Jun Ishikawa).

Game appearances [ edit ]

Kirby 64: the crystal shards [ edit ].

The "Studying the Factory" theme first appears in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards , used exclusively in the Factory Tour stage in Shiver Star . The dark and dreary factory, a notable difference from the bright and colorful levels previously found in Shiver Star, is accompanied by a similarly drastic shift in musical style. It can heard as music 17 in the game's Sound Test, and track 27 on the Hoshi no Kirby 64 Original Soundtrack .

Kirby: Canvas Curse [ edit ]

"Studying the Factory" is remixed for the Mad Mechanism stage in Kirby: Canvas Curse . The tempo is significantly faster, and the instrumentation uses chiptune-like elements and a synthy FM slap bass, giving it a more energetic feeling while still remaining in minor key. This version is rearranged by the original composer, Jun Ishikawa. [3]

Kirby Super Star Ultra [ edit ]

The Kirby Super Star Ultra Sub-Game Snack Tracks uses an abridged remix of the "Studying the Factory" theme. Like the previous Kirby: Canvas Curse remix, it uses a faster tempo and chiptune instruments, and notably adds the sound of clanging pots and pans as percussion, matching the food-related gameplay. When 30 seconds are left, the song becomes even faster and more frantic.

Kirby: Triple Deluxe [ edit ]

In Kirby: Triple Deluxe , the original version of the song is reused for the Factory Tour stage in Kirby Fighters .

Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Kirby Fighters 2 [ edit ]

The Factory Tour stage returns in both Kirby Fighters Deluxe and Kirby Fighters 2 with its original music intact. In Kirby Fighters 2 , the stage gains a new remix of the theme as its secret song. The remix, like other songs in Kirby Fighters 2 , primarily blends traditional Japanese instrumentation and modern synths, and also incorporates an electric guitar. The secret song is unlocked with a Fighters Rank of 67.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse [ edit ]

In Kirby and the Rainbow Curse , a remix of the "Studying the Factory" music can be unlocked as a Treasure in the stage Infiltrate the Junk Factory! . The song is remixed in a similar style to the original, with updated instrumentation and added elements, such as an electric guitar countermelody. The remix is listed as track 32 in the Sound Room.

Kirby: Planet Robobot [ edit ]

In Kirby: Planet Robobot , another remix of the "Studying the Factory" music is used as the theme of Gigabyte Grounds - Stage 3 . This remix, which is titled "Studying the Power Plant" on the Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack , is similar to the original song while adding modern instrumentation and chiptune instruments. It also incorporates the original version of the song, muffled and distorted underneath a cacophony of piano chords and guitar feedback. It is arranged by the original composer, Jun Ishikawa, and can be found as track 036 in the Jukebox and track 28 on the Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack .

The Kirby: Canvas Curse remix is reused in Gigabyte Grounds - Stage 7 EX . It is track 121 in the Jukebox.

Other appearances [ edit ]

The original Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards song appears on the soundtrack albums Hoshi no Kirby 64 Original Soundtrack and Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack . The Kirby Super Star Ultra remix appears in the track "Sub-Game Medley" on the Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track , and "Studying the Power Plant" appears on the Kirby: Planet Robobot Original Soundtrack .

On The Sound of Kirby Café 2 , a remixed medley of "Studying the Factory" and Kirby 64 's "Select Screen" theme is included and titled 眠れるキカイのプラネット ( Planet of Sleeping Machines ). It has a gentler tone that primarily focuses on piano, and was arranged by Hirokazu Ando .

Trivia [ edit ]

• According to composer Jun Ishikawa, the electric guitar sound in "Studying the Power Plant" was made by sticking his reading glasses between the instrument's strings. Ishikawa's goal was to use electric guitar feedback to reference the use of electricity by power plants, and after finding a standalone guitar insufficient, he prepared the instrument with various objects before settling on his glasses. According to Ishikawa, this method resulted in the glasses breaking, which he attributed to their cheap quality. [4]

The Fender Visitor Center has closed for now. We love having a place for our customers to visit and tour our facility, and we thank everyone who has come to experience the Visitor Center and Fender factory tour with us. We plan to reopen as soon as we create a new Fender Experience.

An incredible tour of the inside of the Fender guitar factory. This location has been open since 1998 (they started out in Fullerton, CA) and manufactures about 400 guitars a day. Tours are open to the public and are about an hour long. A guide leads groups through the factory and explains step by step how guitars are manufactured. It is fascinating to see guitars start out as simple blocks of wood and slowly become musical instruments.
