Thinking about it, this video really hammers home how much of this song references music associated with Meta Knight compared to Dedede. Would had been nice to have some Gourmet Race or some of the more obscure Dedede themes mixed in. At least you can argue that the Halberd interior theme was also used in Revenge of the King I guess.
I’m so glad that I found this. Everything about your composition is perfect, from matching the speeds of separate pieces to adding in the extra flourishes (especially masked dedede) and it’s all just perfect perfect perfect
Sounded a bit iffy at first, but overall execution was pretty decent. I’m glad you didn’t just leave some the songs used in the theme itself unedited, as well as keeping in the mixed allusions to other songs throughout (eg the bits of RoM during Dedede). Overall, a good job. 👍
