| "Mickey Mouse Club March" is approximately one minute and two seconds long in ''Kingdom Hearts''. For the [[Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 ReMIX|HD remake]] of ''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'', the piece is one minute and three seconds long. In ''Kingdom Hearts II'', the track is slightly extended to one minute and fifteen seconds. In ''[[Kingdom Hearts HD 2.5 ReMIX]]'', the piece is extended further to two minutes and seven seconds. For ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', the "Mickey Mouse March" is two minutes and seven seconds long.<!--Time signature: 4/4 or 2/4? Makes more sense for 2/4 because marches, but that doesn't settle the issue.-->

| The tempo remains consistent between all games, 132 beats per minute, except ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. For ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', the tempo is increased to 140 beats per minute. Likewise, all games share a similar instrumentation except ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. The standard instrumentation includes: piccolo, flute, clarinet, bassoon, French horn, trombone, tuba, snare drum, bass drum, crash cymbal, triangle, tambourine, orchestral bells, xylophone, marimba, and timpani. For ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', more percussive instruments are added: such as temple blocks, wood blocks, and vibraslap. Also new to this version is the whistle and banjo.

| In musical terms, a {{w|March (music)|march}} is a style of music that has a strong, consistent rhythm, and was originally written to be played while marching. Historically, military bands performed marches. However, since then, marches have become standard in the wind ensemble and marching band repertoire. Typical to the march style is a brief introduction passage that generally features the percussion section- namely the snare drum, bass drum, and crash cymbals. Also customary to the march style is the preference of using the higher-pitched piccolo over its flute relative. However, in the HD remake versions, the flute is also used, playing a minor, accompaniment part in the background. The melody that is traded off between the different instruments is based off of the actual lyrics to the original Mickey Mouse March<!--does not belong in quotation marks--> from the Mickey Mouse Club. What truly distinguishes the ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'' arrangement is the slightly faster tempo (which is not customary to traditional marches), the increased use of auxiliary percussion, and the banjo. This reflects the difference in tone required to separate the formal Disney Castle from the livelier Disney Town and Dream Festival.
