Overview
Garden Of The Dragon is an instrumental track composed and arranged by Takahiro Kai (credited as Kai) for SEGA's Japan-only arcade MOBA Wonderland Wars. In its source game, the piece serves as the background music for the Dragon Palace Garden (竜宮の園) map, where players command teams of fairy-tale and folklore characters in real-time combat. The song's steady 120 BPM march and a distinctive "wonderland" chorus vocal sample, shared with the Wonderland Wars opening theme, lend it a ceremonial, storybook atmosphere that evokes the fantastical setting.
The track joined maimai during the PiNK update on April 7, 2016, and has since undergone several genre reclassifications across the series: originally tagged under SEGA, it was later recategorized as VARIETY, and finally settled into GAME & VARIETY (ゲーム&バラエティ) in the DX era. Its Master chart, designed by 某S氏 (Bou S shi), has climbed through multiple level adjustments, from an initial level 11 in PiNK to its current level 13 at a 13.5 constant, reflecting both the chart's genuine density and the game's shifting difficulty calibration over the years. Community commentary on the Japanese wiki notes that, unlike the Wonderland Wars opening arrangement, Garden Of The Dragon avoids irregular or gimmick-heavy patterns, offering a more straightforward high-level challenge. The full version of the piece appears on the Wonderland Wars Original Soundtrack album.
