I swear, this level used to scare me to death back when I was younger. Nowadays this level no longer scares me, but it does makes me feel unnerving, which, for some reason, feels worse. The atmosphere, the song, the crushing-insta kills provoked by the machines and not by the enemies... Magnificent
Not to mention the background...You seeing these weird creatures (some of them greatly resembling enemies we have fought during the game) placed in these large test tubes.
That brief moment where the rhythm halts and all you really hear left are the machines, it’s genuinely chilling. We never really think about how we as the person playing the game gets music, while for all we know the beings in universe don’t. Kirby having to go through this hollow shell of Earth beneath the surface with the never ending onslaught of machinery is just downright depressing on so many levels.
Going though functioning lifeless factories, seeing monsters in tubes, and almost getting OHKO by those hammer robots.....I don't know how kid me managed to get through this level. If I noticed that shiver star was actually Earth, I would've freaked out

It is incredible that on this post-apocalyptic ice planet the only ones who survived are the robots, which makes it more obscure but at the same time more mysterious, wanting to know what happened here, what could have been a nuclear winter or a new ice age and this music describes that situation very well.
I always loved this song! I remember I kept messing up at the part where the robots try to smash you into the wall, 'cause I didn't figure out you could go through the grates in the ceiling for a while. XD
Ahh this brings back fun, rageful times... This game had some great music and this Shiver Star was one of my favorites cuz of this and its other theme though i died alot
My WHOLE body shivers from this theme, maybe because as a kid my biggest fear in video games were crushers that instant killed. Like the ones in this level, and the ones in one of the Yoshi's Story castles, and the ones in the underground levels in Super Mario World...
Heard this for the first time when I was about 12 years old. Now I'm 35 and this still sticks with me. It also became pivotal piece of inspiration when I first became a music producer.
Either nuclear winter-ize ourselves into a shiver star, or melt ourselves into a Mollusk age... Nintendo sure is giving us foresight on what's going to happen if we don't do anything for our planet
Nah an asteroid big enough to change the Earth's orbit around the Sun and make it fall into the hundreds of unknown planets and make it freeze as it's getting away from the Sun
Some lyrics to Factory Inspection: Fell into the metal abyss. Outside the cold, feel the warm kiss. Furnaces on, mankind is gone, we reminisce. Fell into the darkest chamber. Earth is now gone, the end reclaimed her. This factory of cold rubble, Says, you are in trouble! Feel the coldness of our hearts, As frozen as our parts, Humans did this! Can you overcome the dark? The shivering imparts, You feel no bliss. We roar to life with one goal in mind, It's what we were told to do since old. And with the warmth now gone, we all fall to freezing! Will your heart stop the sheer cold? Kirby, you see how our world fell. This factory is our farewell. We're on the hunt, for anything, to put it blunt. Kirby, you see how our hearts ache. This was our world's greatest mistake. The cold welcomes you in its arms. Quick! Now sound the alarms! In this metallic stronghold, That was built in days of old, Humans were remiss! Can you, brave, small, pink hero, Survive the subzero? You'll feel no bliss. Steel your courage and traverse the labyrinth, There's always something that is amiss. Be it blind recklessness or sheer bravery, Please destroy that damned machine!
I actually got really used to this theme in Kirby: Canvas Curse, so when I first listened to this again, I thought it was really slow and wondered if maybe the person that had posted had it slowed it down. I realize now that it being this slow actually worked better for the level.
El soundtrack recuerda a maquina, fabrica, pero tiene un tono muy sombrio, de vez en cuando con una especie de cantos que me recuerdan a dolor, lo cual es muy sombrio, saber que kirby 64 con solo el soundtrack nos hace sentir tan mal, tan incomodos, tan raros, con miedo, u al menos asi lo siento, si lo escuchas con audifonos, se escucha aun mas los sonidos de las maquinas, es tan malo, pero aun estamos a tiempo de evitar este futuro sombrio, frio y congelado
Im glad this game didnt have the same art style as Powerplant from forgotten land cause playing the level would've been even more depressing than this song already is. Like i love this song and level so much, it fits so well. But gah damn is it depressing
For an authentic listening experience, feel free to switch to the "Life Lost" track at any point during this track! (There's so many areas you can be crushed in this level, it's absurd.)
Yeah...this level is full of many painful memories. I could do everything here well...its just the crushers freaking scared me. ...Also, my reflexes as a child were pretty terrible. XD
I remember first hearing this while watching schaffrillas best animated feature ranking video when he talks about happy feet and I've been searching for it ever since. I can't believe it was in Kirby 64 of all games the whole game and I didn't notice!
Dios, como odiaba la penúltima parte de ese nivel. Era horrible, siempre me daba miedo morir aplastada y tardaba muchísimo solo por no animarme a atravesarlo. Una vez que lo lograba nunca más volvía a jugar esa parte ni aunque volviera a jugar todos los demás niveles, siempre lo saltaba jksjsj
if you think abou it there is very few human or atleast close to human characters in kirby series and adeleine was first human or human-like character and is closest to looking like human. also the shiver star kinda looks like desaturated earth there might be hidden lore about adeleine's roots
This makes me imagine an earth after all humans left for other planets in a galaxy and that sentient cars, trains, and other vehicles are only things on earth. Trying to survive and rebuild what's left of earth, waiting for their missing human companions
*So That's Why The Planet Was Full Of Buldings, This Planet Was Mechanized... There Have Been Rumors Of An Enterprise Going Around There Mechanizing Planets, That's Right, Mechanizing.*
Kinda depressing knowing that the Earth's factories are still functioning, even though the people are long gone.
Well the animals gotta make bank somehow bro
Though Samus is one of the surviving humans as she along with Metroids cameo in a Kirby game.
Capitalism is so overbearing that it can run itself
Capitalism was only exploiting humans, once it became powerful enough there was no reason to keep us around anymore.
They made an entire game out of that premise.
Welcome to earth, Kirby
How kind of you! :)
@@lestercapati he didn’t mean that in a nice way…
Though Forgotten Land throws that notion into contention.
Welcome home Adeleine
Wrong Earth exists in a different dimension in Kirby canon
Hard to believe this takes place immediately after the winter wonderland mall filled with toys.
Kind of fitting to reality though
yep.

This is kirby's way of saying "the future looks bleak."
By far one of the best Kirby tracks. It's so iconic that it gets remixed in almost every game with a factory level.
I think the only exceptions are Rainbow Paintbrush and Forgotten Land

i just realized why…. Every rendition of Factory Inspection is just a callback. But Burning Power Plant Factory *is the sequel*. Think about it…………

Holy shit it's Dex

Dexter something similar happen to me
BECAUSE IS FUCKING AWESOME

Still time to save our planet guys. We can't let it transform into a Shiver Star.
So many years in the past, yet more relevant than ever. Well said my friend.
I agree, let's warm it up some more and turn it into Neo Star instead!

Really expected to hear this in the factory level in the last world
There are pieces of it in Burning Churning Power Plant! If you listen closely the motifs are all there.
:((((((
There literally is, lol
Burning Churning Power Plant is literally a reimagination of this song. You just need to hear it closely.
One of my favorite pieces of videogame music ever. Something about its cold, industrial atmosphere and haunting wails speaks to my soul.
This song really brings you back. Kirby and Dedede going through that factory....sigh, good times.
Melancholic. Menacing. Mechanical.
Going though functioning lifeless factories, seeing monsters in tubes, and almost getting OHKO by those hammer robots.....I don't know how kid me managed to get through this level. If I noticed that shiver star was actually Earth, I would've freaked out
Those big hammer dudes in the background are coming back for another round in the 3DS Kirby game!
This is where it gets really dark, here and ripple star.
This track makes me so (most) impressive because I stuck at this stage almost my whole childhood, I finally past the celling crush room when I'm 17.
this used to be my favorite fucking song in this whole game as a kid
I used to play this song on repeat while toiling away on my college essays. It helped, in a way.
It's kind of creepy knowing that this song plays in a world that is earth or earthlike planet that had a nuclear winter... Eerie
My favorite song from this game... The nostalgia is strong here
*MANKIND IS DEAD*
*BLOOD IS FUEL*
*HELL IS FULL*
Ultrakill mentioned? ETERNAL NIGHT REFERENCE?! RAAHHH WTF IS A BAD LORE?!
Abandoned Earth... :(
Post Apocalyptic Earth.

this song is pretty, sad, and unnerving simultaneously while also being a genuine banger.
Ahh this brings back fun, rageful times... This game had some great music and this Shiver Star was one of my favorites cuz of this and its other theme though i died alot

“Surely, everyone has to be overexaggerating. I get that it must be pretty catchy, but Kirby 64’s factory theme can’t be that good-“
0:28
0:50 is even better imo
This is not just nostalgic, the original version of Factory Inspection is the best. The darkest version.
Id argue Planet Robobots is more chilling, especially the end of the loop.
“You know. This whole Ice age thing's getting old. You know what l could go for? Global warming!”
yep.
Half Antarctica-cold half desert-hot
RULES OF NATURE
Some lyrics to Factory Inspection:
Fell into the metal abyss.
Outside the cold, feel the warm kiss.
Furnaces on, mankind is gone, we reminisce.
Fell into the darkest chamber.
Earth is now gone, the end reclaimed her.
This factory of cold rubble,
Says, you are in trouble!
Feel the coldness of our hearts,
As frozen as our parts,
Humans did this!
Can you overcome the dark?
The shivering imparts,
You feel no bliss.
We roar to life with one goal in mind,
It's what we were told to do since old.
And with the warmth now gone, we all fall to freezing!
Will your heart stop the sheer cold?
Kirby, you see how our world fell.
This factory is our farewell.
We're on the hunt, for anything, to put it blunt.
Kirby, you see how our hearts ache.
This was our world's greatest mistake.
The cold welcomes you in its arms.
Quick! Now sound the alarms!
In this metallic stronghold,
That was built in days of old,
Humans were remiss!
Can you, brave, small, pink hero,
Survive the subzero?
You'll feel no bliss.
Steel your courage and traverse the labyrinth,
There's always something that is amiss.
Be it blind recklessness or sheer bravery,
Please destroy that damned machine!
Wtf this is so underrated
Lo cante junto con la música y queda muy bien
This is beautiful, and generates a little history with the rhythm, thank you for sharing to everyone your comment

As Soon As Anyone Sees That Comment They Go: Oh Oh Oh Okay, Okay That's That's Fine!
the best kirby 64 song, no doubt
The song from Planet Robobot came from this game? Wow. It fits perfectly in Planet Robobot lol i never would have guessed it was a remix
The chord progressions in this one make me think of PS1 era JRPGs for some reason...
ALWAYS my favorite to listen to in the sounds
im glad they remixed this song for Kirby and the rainbow curse
Thank you for making one of my favorite Canvas Curse tracks.

This should be the theme for Chernobyl
Or the power plant there
This song gives me such a strong feeling, so sad i don't know how to describe it
When we were kids, my brother and I called this level the "Ultimate Factory", and we said that it manufactured death itself.
Yeah...this level is full of many painful memories. I could do everything here well...its just the crushers freaking scared me.
...Also, my reflexes as a child were pretty terrible. XD
LOVE THIS THEME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love this!!! :D
I never played this game but I heard this in the factory stage for kirby fighters on the 3ds
This song is the shit
Malik Johnson no...the levels are the shit xD
Are we talking about regular shit or hot shit?
What a happy song. Especially when you listen to it at 0.75 speed.
This was a sad level, just seeing the poor animals being locked up and expirimented on :c
This is such a banger

For me personally, this was as scary as lavander town from pokemon
The bells make this really scary imo
the bass at 0:52
The Zoness of the Kirby series.
This is BADASS!!!!
I was watching someone do a Kirby 64 endurance stream.
I had to leave because the pain of her going through this level was too much.
