This beautiful theme in 3/4 time includes a calm melody played on panflute over a simple guitar line, and later a second section with a similar melody played by a Dallape accordion over a more full-sounding background. The resulting theme is fitting for an autumn landscape. | ||

This theme contains 2 sections; the first features a melody on xylophone and later panflute, with an accordion adding additional harmony. The second section is more full-sounding, with long string chords and a harp part joining the other instruments. This theme's mood is generally positive to fit the enemy and creature logs it accompanies. A large pizzicato bass section is also present, though it's barely audible when played on the 3DS's speakers, which may make this theme sound flatter than what might have been intended. | ||

Dolphin II]] update [[cutscene]]s where the ship reveals that it found a [[boss]] battle area. A slow progression of tight and dissonant chords plays on high strings, while a chromatic and low-pitched piano and pizzicato string melody plays underneath, creating a highly threatening tone. Within the high string texture, there is a beeping alarm-like synthesizer, repeatedly playing the same note. | ||

The Ravaged Rustworks are filled with the abandoned relics of human construction, and this theme plays into that, creating a tone of resilient desolation with its guitar arpeggios, open melodies, and colorful chords. The theme may be in a major key, but there is sadness behind the beautiful harmonies. | ||

Various metallic chords, tinkling noises, and unpitched percussion fill the first half of the theme, with plenty of space between every note. The second half of the theme has a melody and bass note, but the melody never leads anywhere. | ||

Diverse synthetic tones, a flute, and some hand percussion make up most of the instruments in this highly syncopated theme. There are lots of large jumps between notes, and there are very few low notes in the piece, fitting with the airy theme of the Leafswirl Lagoon. | ||

This theme in septuple meter creates a dark tone through its subtle percussion and chord layers, and the way it stays on chords for long periods of time. A syncopated bassline and a whistled melody produce an ominous and airy feeling that fits the precise flying-based gameplay of these levels. | ||

Unlike most back side themes, this one approaches tonality in many of its melodic fragments, but most of these fragments are in different keys. Each one plays after the previous one with little connection between them. | ||

This theme captures the burnt nature of the areas it plays in with its wispy background chords and textures, but the melody and other foreground parts tell a different story, moving between chords in a more hopeful progression. The song also prominently features a delayed synthesizer pattern in the second half of most bars. | ||

This theme creates tension throughout, with quick and sudden descending synthesizer lines that repeat louder an octave up each time. In other parts of the piece, ominous bass notes dominate the texture. This helps warn the player about the [[fire]] in the area. | ||

Wispy high-pitched noises are constantly in the background of this theme, evoking a feeling of coldness. The melodies and harmonies of this piece are also mostly made of high notes, and use synthetic tone colors that sound as if they are glistening off the snow. | ||

As the game nears its end, the music doesn't get more threatening, but instead builds a calm ambience that simultaneously draws attention to the deadly nature of the area. Most of the theme moves between two chords, outlined by arpeggiated kalimba-like synthesizers, while other sections are based around a string section playing more colorful chords. | ||
