If you've been listening to SiIvaGunner for any amount of time, you've undoubtedly realized just how much Kirby content in particular is on the channel. Though SiIva is a creative outlet that allows individual rippers to express themselves, Kirby in particular has kind of been the backbone for much of the channel's brand. The first two major story arcs on the channel, The Reboot and The Christmas Comeback Crisis, are directly built on Kirby Planet Robobot's audiovisual direction, and the Kirby games released since 2016 have gotten plenty of love on the channel to boot. Hell, the two King for a Day tournaments and their assortment of rearranged music is pretty much a direct tribute to Super Smash Bros, a franchise that's very heavily intertwined with Kirby and his creator. No matter how many things change, love for the pink puffball is inescapable.

That love isn't just visible through the massive events and aesthetics as presented above, but in the regular output of rips from Kirby fans on the team. Of these rips, Kirby 64 rips are always a highlight for me due to the game's incredibly diverse and unique soundscape. There's just nothing else in the world that sounds quite as dreamlike as the Dark Matter Kirby games, in particular Dream Land 3 and Crystal Shards. Aquadial takes one of the latter game's most unique songs, Aqua Planet, and applies its hyperactive instrumentation to another gem of the N64, Bomberman Hero's Redial. With two vibes combined, the result is simply pure magic.
