Kurikinton

Kurikinton (, lit. "Chestnuts and Mashed Sweet Potatoes") is a name related to several songs that serve as the theme of Terry Bogard, and sometimes his friends Andy Bogard and Joe Higashi. Kurikinton was designed to be big band heavy, focusing on trumpets and horns.

= List of Songs =

Kurikinton (Fatal Fury 2)
Although the theme only played on West Albuquerque (Terry's Stage), Kurikinton worked as theme for Terry in Fatal Fury 2. This theme acts as a big band track, focusing on trumpets. The train track noise plays into the song, given that the stage is set on a train. The arranged version focuses more on horns, making it akin to a live show.

A remix of this theme appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It is faithful to the original song, even directly including the original opening, but the second loop introduces a guitar solo similar to The King of Fighters XIV 's rendition of the song, as well as an extended refrain before it loops.

Kurito Forever
Kurikinton returns for Terry's theme in Real Bout Fatal Fury Special and Real Bout Fatal Fury 2, now under the new name Kurito Forever (, lit. "Chestnuts and Forever"). This version is much more laid back than its original counterpart, acting more funkier. This theme also appears in The King of Fighters '97, exclusively as Terry's Theme, making it one of the few battle themes to appear in the game. The arranged version of Kurito Forever is much funkier and jazzier than its original version.

Kurikinton (The King of Fighters '98/Ultimate Match)
Kurikinton appears again in "The King of Fighters '98". Unlike previous versions, this rendition of Kurikinton is shared with not only Terry, but with Andy and Joe, as they are members of Team Fatal Fury. The original version is country based, focusing on guitars and bass. The arranged version acts more like the Fatal Fury 2 arranged version.

Kurikinton also appears as EX Terry's theme. While there are no differences in themes in the original OST, the arranged version has more emphasis on trumpets.

Kurikinton (The King of Fighters 2002)
Kurikinton appears again as Team Fatal Fury's theme in The King of Fighters 2002: Challenge to Ultimate Battle. Unlike most renditions of Kurikinton, this version is very Hip Hop heavy, evoking a street-style in its beats. While there are no lyrics to this version of Kurikinton, there is a sound clip of a man saying "Cause I can feel 'ya!" at the beginning of the song.

Unlike the other variations of Kurikinton, this version does not have an arranged version, due to the fact that The King of Fighters 2002: Challenge to Ultimate Battle did not receive an arranged soundtrack.

Kuri Kinton Flavor
A remix of Kurikinton under the name "Kuri Kinton Flavor" appears in The King of Fighters XIV. Unlike most renditions of Kurikinton, this theme does not act as Terry's theme, as it only plays on the Transcontinental Railroad stage, and only when Terry fights in this stage. This version is much more rock heavy, focusing on guitars and drums.

=Trivia=
 * The original theme plays in Terry's Reveal Trailer for The King of Fighters XV, in a small match.
