Kirby 64 - Zero Two [Music Box Cover/Remix] (Little V) 

Don't think I didn't forget about Spooptober! Let me know if you'd like to see more stuff like this on the channel!

At this moment, you'll realise King Dedede is the only normal final boss in Kirby's history.

Beautiful cover. Have you ever noticed, the enemies of Dreamland are all Eyeball themed. Logically speaking, wouldn't the true enemy of dreams be eyes pried open? Nightmare is the one exception, covering his eyes with reflective sunglasses. Although it makes perfect sense that a nightmare would want you to dream forever.

It's snowing. It's calm, yet disturbingly quiet. All you can hear is the wind. There he is, right in front of you. His blood red eye pierces the white of the blizzard. You recognize him immediately. Zero.

Aw, the Kirby series that has kiddie vibes in the art style, as you advantage either into the game, you peel those layers of innocence off. The psychological horror in the atmosphere is subtle, the more you peel those layers off, the more you notices the darkness forming from corner of your eye. Your mind drifts further into darkness as the darkness stares right back at ya. Do you dream about the darkness?

I weep. I scream. I dare not dream.

No Kirby game is complete without demon-like hell spawn as a final boss. And lots of poyos...

Honestly Kirby is the most under appreciated Nintendo franchises

Kirby has fought: Alien Invaders who possess people and force them under there power. Said Alien Invaders mastermind who actively uses its own blood as projectiles against him. Said mastermind who comes back from the dead in an angelic manner in order to take over neighboring planets. Various Maniuplative 'friend's' who coxed him into making them into all powerful beings for galatic conquest. A warrior so powerful he has been banished outside of Space and Time. A Mirror World with endless vast networks into the real world, with endless forms of villains from the current world. A Monarch so fixated on her own Vanity as to trying to feed off everyone in order to keep up with her standards of perfect beauty, coxed again from said mirror world. A Capitalistic Megacorporation fueled by a grieving CEO An actual Cult trying to revive a once forgotton banished Dark God of Destruction. ...Oh also some Onion Witch girl who just wanted to play Puzzle Games. Kirby has goofy final bosses.

This theme just feels cold, like the build up to fighting the final boss you've heard all about to this point, but instead of them giving a speech of grandeur, they just sit there as they monologue about a sad tale of a time long past. Kinda reminds me of Gwyn's theme, if you ask me.

it's only a *matter* of time until we'll get to see him again.

As Dedede launched you in the air, the ground beneath you falls, never to be seen by you again. After all, this place will never be seen by you again. The sky is pure red, with black patterns strung across it, moving slowly to the side, by rapidly upwards, or downwards. Then, you see another thing, a blot of white, moving at you at high speeds, as you tumble around helplessly. It has a smiling face, with gives you just a tiny bit of relief, but unsettling nonetheless. The relief is shattered and destroyed, the smile soon faded, the eyes disappearing, the mouth opening to be an Eye...Red as the sky behind them. No. No no no no no no no no no no. He's dead, right? "Of course he is, he has to be! I saw it back in the hyper zone!", you think to yourself. But there they are, right in front of you, disproving your previous thoughts of his oblivion by simply existing. But this time, you have nothing, no star rod, no warp star, no love love stick, no friends. NOTHING. It's just you, and him, he has the clear advantage, as you continue to tumble around in the endless abyss you can't get up. Yet you feel something else, someone grab you to pull you up. It's Ribbon. The crystal shards fuse together, and they form a powerful weapon, the crystal gun, as your relief floods back to you. But Zero, now reborn, isn't going down so easily, even with your friends help. You aim the gun, you're shaking, but stop, because you were never alone in this, Dedede, Waddle Dee, Ado, and Ribbon. So, what are you waiting for, Star Warrior? You've done it once, and did it to many after them, so do it again. *Tough it out.*

Who knew a game about a tiny pink puffball would also be a story about one insignifact creature devouring planet destroying, godlike abominations akin to the beings found in the stories of HP Lovecraft?

I don't know why, but this reminds of standing alone in an endless snow-covered forest, witnessing the remains of what once was a beautiful and benevolent being, now put to rest.

This song delves into the other side of the story. The life of Dark Matter. The life of Zero. The galaxy is filled with people who know joy. Even people that you fight. Everyone has a bit of happiness in them. But what if there was a being... a collective group that could not feel happiness... A group of people that live a life of hatred and greed... A group that can... and never will feel happiness. That's dark matter. As time continues, more and more dark matter is drawn to a planet filled with happy and carefree people. They come to destroy all this joy... because they can never feel it. They don't want others to be able to feel it. But they fail. This is their last stand. Zero 2, the biggest... seemingly last living power of Dark Matter, is in his last ditch attempt to finally win over positive feelings. He's able to be destroyed by the thing that he will never be able to feel. From our perspective, it's a tense, climactic fight to save everything. But for Dark Matter... it's the last chance they got... and... it's going to be their last.

"You are Zero..." Never in my life, did I imagine Woolie could ever be so...frightening, and epic.

Zero Two always gave me a sad vibe. It's not scary, like Marx Soul it's not rage inducing like Galacta Knight, it's not happy like every mini boss. It's sad. Like, you shouldn't do this. It feels wrong.

This makes me feel nostalgic for stuff that never happened

*_VS Zero Three_* ...What do you see, Star Warrior? What do you see when you close your eyes? When you think to yourself? Sunshine? Friends? ...Happiness? Relaxing in the sunlight, enjoying a nice picnic? I only see Darkness. Loneliness. Sorrow. Eternal damnation in this dark pit I call my home. I am forever eternally empty. No SOUL. No heart. Just pure...blackness. The only thing that cuts through the expanding darkness my own blood, shed by your own hands. Whether you kill me, my Matters or the ones I possess. I will always see in black and red. I never asked for this, I just wanted to share my pain. And I will achieve my goal. Starting with you.

A LittleV cover which isn't metal? WHAT!?

A song of matters most dark

Zero and Giygas: two villains that even though they are evil.............. They both were in immeasurable pain.

Listening to thise tune makes me feel... empty. Uneasy. Maybe sad? However, It captures perfectly the struggle of or against Zero 2. As it was defeated, killed, by something it could not understand at all - Love - Zero got devoided by everything it held for it's purpose. Hatred, sorrow, meanace and the intent to destroy... all of it got vanquished by this intense feeling it had been fighting against. Something it never knew. Just.. what was it? As it's final moments drew near, it must have thought something like this: "Why. Why is this happening? Have i been wrong by destroying everything in my path? Maybe.... But now... now. I can't feel anything anymore. It's... so empty inside. So peacefull. So... overwhelming. Is this the true purpose of existance? Of MY existance? If so... then I shall bring this inner peace to the entire universe. For i now know the truth. Every creature in existance shall recive my gift... of nothingness. Emptyness. This void created within me... it will give birth to a new me. And when it happens, ALL will become one within me. As everything becomes nothing, and nothing becomes everything, we all shall become... ZERO 2."

This actually made me shed a few tears. Thank goodness they weren’t tears of blood.

So because of WoolieVersus' Dark Matter Trilogy video, here's something i came up with, but within the realm of my own headcannons "Pink one, do you know what free will does to people? It turns people into scary, horrible monsters. Free will was the reason that they hurt me. So if i take over everyone's minds, and turn them into me, then they won't hurt me anymore. And they won't hurt anyone else. They'll all become my friends."

This is just calming, no fear, yet also no joy, just a weird, calming, melody...

Kirby always had some of the scariest bosses. What makes Nintendo bosses so interesting is you get what's IMPLIED from said bosses is horrifying in and of itself, you dont NEED to be shown all these horrifying things to understand a darker, subtle, yet recognizable element to them. Zero Two is one of those bosses

This should be the end theme to Kirbys Ending in Smash Bros Ultimate. I can imagine it. You beat Story Mode with Kirby and you see all the characters in the roster defeated and Kirbys just standing in the middle of them kinda beat up as this plays in the background. A beautiful ending to the true devourer of Gods.

I think Sadness of Zero2 is represented in this music How beautiful and sad…… （Sorry,I'm Japanese）

This is somewhat unsettling... It sounds like Zero has finally snapped and took over the entire universe and Kirby is the only survivor and everyone is controlled by Dark Matter. I would think that music plays when you’re going to finally confront Zero and destroy him and you’re inside a dark void that has red eyes floating in the background. It could be called Void Zero (Astral Birth Void????) (I was close...)

You are Zero.

I cant believe I'm only finding this 3 years later. This is bonechilling. As if 02's theme couldn't be amazing enough, hearing it like this, makes me kind of sad. We wouldn't have positive energy without negative energy. Zero and Zero 2, Dark Matter, all of it exists in some form for a reason, and I think that while Kirby may be victorious each time, the balance is that Dark Matter seems to always come back in some way, and will keep coming back no matter what. I've always found the different forms of Dark Matter to have the most impact lorewise when it comes to antagonists in the Kirby series, because they're pure in a way. They aren't driven by anything but one singular goal, and they serve their purpose in the universe, unaffected by human emotions or vices, they awaken that darker nature in people, the side that's always there, because it's all they've ever known to do.

To me, this is the greatest villain that Kirby has ever faced. Shoutout to both you, Little V, and to WoolieV (WoolieVersus) for showing this great piece!

The sadness, the despair. What Kirby did to Zero/Zero-Two was an act of kindness and honestly, I believe it was the only real solution.

It sounds like something that’d play for an empty kingdom, as the heroes travel up the barracks and vacant halls, awaiting a battle with the undying king who rules over nothing.

Prepare to Hiiiiiiii~

My own description of 02: "The demon has returned to face you off once more... After so many battles against eachother you feel that this is your final battle with.. It... Within your heart and your friends take on the demon once and for all... Do your best kirby..."

You, are Zero...

It's *him* *He* is back *he's* scared *he's* angry *He will not let you go*

endless darkness, endless night a world anathema to light all that's made can surely break only in dreams can we awaken sound and fury, heralds, horns cry for the one from nothing born now ichor leaks from broken hearts now come, warrior of the stars! when you look into the sky you'll see the light surrounded by the dark the abyss, lurking things beyond your understanding you who left the doorway open into your hearts into the stars for as long as there is fear the creeping shadow shall draw near from the darkness comes the nightmare born to swallow up the light the miracle of shadow rising all that matters now colliding angels cry on wings of blood rain down the tears to bring the flood and as corruption takes your heroes everything will fall to zero can you feel the rumble of the coming storm? reality lies upon the edge of thorns now the power that is borrowed will not guarantee tomorrow and the universe will drown among the sorrow sworn rise and fall this is my call i weep, i scream i dare not dream Ophanim, our chariot awaits to blaze a trait across the sky is this our purpose? or is nothing all we're meant for? you who stand blessed under starlight gaze upon me do you fear me? as you fly to guard your dreams the shadow swallows your regime endless darkness, endless night a world anathema to light all that's made can surely break only in dreams can we awaken sound and fury, heralds, horns cry for the one from nothing born now ichor leaks from broken hearts now come, warrior of the stars! 'cross the endless eons we have come so far seen a life reflected in the crystal shards the Paein of the bells rings out a melody from hell and deep inside the darkness drowns a beating fell beast's heart Lyrics from Man on the internet

If 02 was actually on Shiver Star this would be so perfectly in theme.

"Adeleine?..Is there something wrong? You seem so sad, don't you like snow?"

Unexpected, but not unwelcome.

Simply amazing. To me this cover gives off a very "ruined" vibe. Like Zero Two has already won and has succeeded in taking over everything. Picture this: -You fly into Popstar on a warp star -The planet has transformed from its usual bright yellow to pitch black -The sky is as dark as night -You spot the broken remains of the Halberd -You can see Dedede's castle in the distance: it's walls crumbling down -Whispy's usual derpy face is replaced with a single giant eye -Any and all life is replaced with dark matter -You look up into the sky and see a giant red eye: looming over and observing everything -All the while this earworm of a cover plays on loop in the background Keep up the amazing work!

Chills everytime I listen to this Zero two has to be one of my favorite final bosses ever

Little V doesn't always make epic rock covers, but even when he doesn't, his work is _always_ outstanding!

This doesn't feel creepy but more relaxing. Is there something wrong with me?

I never thought this theme could get any creepier. I love it.

God's work, right here. You made my favorite Kirby boss theme sound much more desolate and hopeless, not that that's a bad thing!

Me as a kid: I love Kirby! He’s a funny little puff ball who’s always eating and fighting that old mean mr Dedede! Me now: I love Kirby. It’s an amazing story about gods clashing against one another about the fate of the universe. It’s about dark unknown and unknowable things. Things made of despair and anguish. Things that if you where to let them into your heart would destroy you.

I recognize the melody, The number, The lullaby, The friends, Oh well all things eventually come to Zero.

A peacefull snowy forest A feeling of Forgotten nostalgia which you cant remember fully But you are glad its there

I was waiting for this ever since the kirby lore video dropped.

"The sands of time slip from our grasp. It's only 2 minutes away from midnight. The war, will happen.... are you ready?" A quote based off of the cold war.

please rise up for the national kirby lore anthem

I always feel that 02 represented asphyxiation... because it's name is very similar to O2, the chemical formula for oxygen. Not to mention the "blood" it releases...

This...might be my favorite cover of this song. I mean there are great metal and rock covers. But this...just...captures a dark sadness that I've never really felt for this character. Bloody well done bud.

when i say zero two is my waifu, i don't mean the one from darling in the franxx, i mean this one.

And here I thought this theme couldn't get more disturbing.

What I love is that this song works equally well at double speed. Alas, that means I only get around 2.5 minutes of it instead of 5.

This is one of my favorite 02 theme song videos.

A lovecraftian being of all encompassing horror. Known as Zero

A visualizer made of eyeball blood. I love this.

*puts edobean's lyrics in to make it more horrifying*

I'm really happy to see these getting uploaded here. Ever since I saw Woolie's videos and saw you credited as the source of the tracks he uses. These are a big departure from the norm of your channel though so I was concerned they'd never get released. Thanks V, thanks a bunch.

I am completely confident that Kirby lore is more terrifying than any horror movie.

Such a chill, calm yet haunting remix. I'am loving it!

THIS IS SO EERIE AND BEAUTIFUL

it would be Really nice if they hid an music box that played this song in star allies, after all kirby 64 is the most mysterious and intriguing game of the franchise i mean; we see the earth, an angel of the death, ribbon, the power crystal, dark matter, adeleine, and most friend of kirby including dedede to fight for one purpose.

Always nice to hear something so simple, quiet, and yet haunting at the same time

When I went back to listen to this I just realised that this very video actually got me into the kirby fandom and I thank you for that!

Master of music and horror well done V keep the good stuff coming

Finally! Woolie has been hogging this goodness long enough.

One of the few Zero 2 remixes that actually captures the mood. Most just don't feel like Zero 2, a demonic bleeding eyeball with much mystery and sadness behind it. Very well done.

crazy to think this was the first video of yours I ever saw and I never even knew it until now. Well done V, well done.

I really love spoopy music boxes such as these

I saw this in my recommended and nearly fell off my chair. I fell in love with this the minute i heard it in the kirby lore series and now i shall enjoy it until the end of time.

The reason everything you see in Kirby games are so innocent and unassuming is because you're seeing everything through Kirby's perspective. In reality, things could actually look much more gruesome. Is... Is Kirby a metaphor for childhood innocence?

This is... so beautiful...

Spooky Yet so beautiful it makes me tear up

I've been on a kick to find more remakes of this song lately It was so epic for a sweet game like Kirby 64. I remember feeling the adrenaline that this song induced and thought " oh...shit is going to get real." However, this beautifully haunting version evokes empathy for the boss in me. I imagine what may have happened to it to the get to the point that it wanted to destroy the planets, maybe with a voice inside that it struggles with constantly to do the "right thing" and be for "good" but it has no control over its obtuse body, with the constant push and pull internally causing its eyes to bleed red. It wasn't its fault, it had no control. Maybe during the whole fight, Kirby telepathically understood it's strife and knew what he had to do to help free its tortured soul. Beautifully done remake.

Quick warning, this is a long comment. In a way, it's sort of like every final boss that has an eye motif is trying to wake up all of Dreamland from it's peaceful lifestyle. If we think the of the Kirby series as a group of kids playing together, it's obvious that the villains would be the adults telling them to stop and grow up. Dedede and Nightmare are outliers, however. Dedede would be another kid that tries to control the story, not knowing that that's not how it works. And Nightmare is an outlier in that he hides his eyes, and as a living nightmare, it makes sense that he'd want you to sleep forever. It's only after you reject staying asleep until the end of time that the eye motif begins. The wide open eyes, to be specific. It's almost like the dream is getting darker and darker with every boss, with every adult demanding you to wake up and never sleep again. It's a constant downwards spiral, losing its subtlety the deeper you dive into its depths. And with the fight against Void, the dream has reached its darkest point, at this moment. You've seen the madness that some people will go to, the depths they will sink. Sadly, that insanity has dragged down innocent people. Void had become a God of Destruction because he was surrounded by horrible people, influenced by their wrath, sorrow and hatred, and didn't know what to do to break the cycle. Whenever the idea of Zero-Three comes, or when Galacta Knight arrives in the canon properly, I imagine that this dream will begin to fracture. Kirby has to wake up, and it is going to be soon. Dreamland just isn't safe for a powerful child like Kirby anymore. Maybe Meta Knight knows what fate Kirby is destined to if he doesn't wake up, and has done all he could to prepare him. All we can do is wait, and hope that the rot and decay under the thin candy coating of child friendliness surface hasn't begun to leach away the life and joy in Dreamland.

A Zero Two remix? In my 2018? It's more likely than you think. Excellent work, dude! This is haunting, just like it should be.

Thank you so much for this

I think this is amazing, love it, i love your metal stuff but this is fantastic, keep going! Fantastic

Can't stop listening!! Too good!!!

Haunting as all heck.

I don't know what's going on, but I love every second of this, I really love music box covers

Never expected this from you. I like.

calm and nice

Can't wait to see where this franchise takes us next. I'm telling you the Elfilin and Fecto Forgo thing was a hint that Void is trying to reconnect with Kirby lol. Negativity seeks out its positive counterpart to be whole again. Which is how it works in real life too. Miserable people are toxically attracted to positive people.

Hold up. You made this? The same guy i’ve been getting my funky metal remixes from for years now made this music box? Holy shit dude.

Nice little change of pace with this one. It's crazy seeing how much range you have as a musician, going from epic metal to something much calmer. Out of interest, what's the font you use for the text in this video? It looks really nice.

I've never clicked on a video so fast before. I never thought I'd see the say Little V do anything with Zero Two's theme

I think Zero 2 as a lady would look very lovely.

In a playlist full of metal I see this and I love it

Haunting.

A verry good remix, congratulations.

I love the Kirby series, thank you Mr.V!

I love media with cute, cuddly and lovable art styles. But I love it more when the media goes to its furthest to Break The Cutie. When the villain can plunge the adorable hero to their darkest possible depths, unraveling unnerving and utterly *terrifying* implications, and while everything seems to turns out okay… you know that the hero… went through some traumatic revelations. Thank you for joining me on why I think Star Allies is the best headcannon material in the entire Kirby franchise.
