KH:4/4; 100bpm; Instruments: Can't identify all the percussion being used...not well-versed in global percussion; electric bass, synthesizer, trumpet,

KHII:4/4; 112bpm overall, the first measure is a fermata; Mention difference in tone - introduction especially & the use of the technique in the guitar that makes it sound like a "scratching" (sound of ocean waves?) sound; Instruments: strings section, piano, French horn, clarinet, pan flute, a specific/certain type of flute anyways, guitar in flamenco style?, NO PERCUSSION PERIOD = softer/gentler nature,

KHBBS:Version that appears during cutscenes = follows KHII version; Ice Cream Beat version = follows original KH version

KHHHD: 4/4; 100bpm; Instruments: Same as KH percussion issue; electric bass, synthesizer, saxophone?? it's very faint, but I don't believe it's a trumpet this time.

KHRecoded:4/4; 100bpm; Instruments: electric bass, steel drums (now has main melody vs piano), trumpet, can't identify the keyboard/wood-block like sounds...it's the same as the original KH's.

Regardless of the game, the lighter texture and tone is very evident with each version. The wide variety and use of auxiliary percussion instruments helps establish and maintain the tropical tone. The piano serves as the primary source of melody, with the trumpets occasionally joining in towards the end of the looped section. The arrangement played in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is unique in that it does not follow the same lively tone as the other games. In this version, there is no use of percussion instruments, which naturally creates a softer, calmer tone. This more mellow sound is only enhanced by the use of the French horn and clarinet. However, the tropical tone is still established by the pan flute<!--double check this instrument--> and "scratching"<!--replace this with official guitar technique--> of the guitar, the latter playing in a style similar to a flamenco.<!--double check this--> The version played in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories'' is also much calmer in nature. The version that plays in ''Kingdom Hearts Re:coded'' is very similar to the original ''Kingdom Hearts'' version, but now features the steel drums as the main melodic voice instead of the piano.
