Weekly Game Music: Machine Passage (Kirby Air Ride)
New week, new music. Nintendo is generally known for its cute and adorable characters.

The music plays during a sudden revelation when Garcian Smith (in the video below) discovers his real identity. Killer7 story follows a group of assassins with the same name, hired to take on…
