This is an example page of what K.K. Slider song pages could look like once all the games have their tracks. As such, not all files actually exist… yet.

"Go K.K. Rider" (stylized as "Go K.K. Rider!" prior to New Leaf) is a K.K. Slider song that appears throughout the entire Animal Crossing series. It is a fast-paced, action-type melody which resembles and, based on its title and the album art, is directly inspired by the various theme songs of Kamen Rider, a superhero television franchise originating in the 1970s which is very famous and significant in Japan.

Album cover

Album cover in Animal Crossing: New Leaf

The album cover for "Go K.K. Rider" features K.K. Slider wearing a red scarf and riding a motorcycle. He is depicted against an orange and yellow background, riding away from a white explosion. A red logo in the upper-left corner is somewhat illegible in Animal Crossing: New Leaf and is based on a highly-stylized version of Japanese katakana, but it is legible in Animal Crossing: New Horizons and reads in actual katakana "ケケライダー" (Keke Raidā), or "K.K. Rider."
