User:Zolerian/Leitmotifs/Kirby Wii

I am using here the names given in here, marking the conjectural ones with * just like there.

Leitmotifs names are conjectural even if noted from where did it get to my mind to give it that name because no one these have been given proper names. Now, I don't really like -more so I really dislike- naming the leitmotifs by one specific theme, like, of the theme where it is heard more notably, because most often that theme has other leitmotifs in it. And that is true in this game. A lot. If someone says "ah the leitmotif of this theme appears in some other theme" and you go to see what is "this theme" you will see that "this theme" actually has like three leitmotifs. But, still, I will name theme here by the theme where they most notably appear, because if not my other options would be either like "Main leitmotif 2" or "Second section leitmotif 1" and yeah no.

A Visitor from Afar

Named by its namesake theme that plays in its namesake cutscene although the theme actually has no name. That is the motif that opens that cutscene, but it isn't the first time that leitmotif is heard; it is heard before in Cookie Country. Some people may also understandably call this "Road to Victory" because it is the first main melody there.

This is the main theme of the game. It is what is first heard when starting a save file, and (evading some bells that may or may not create a melody) it is also the last thing heard before the credits. It also is what opens the credits theme, and it almost is what closes it. This thing is just everywhere, mostly as a background melody; there may be other motifs that can be described as being "the main one of the game" and yeah there are various like those, but this is definitively above them all.

It is heard in all of these:

• "A Visitor from Afar*"
• "Cookie Country" (at the end before it loops)
• "The Adventure Begins" (at the end before it loops)
• "Bring on the Super Ability" (at the end before it loops)
• "Lor Starcutter Parts Restored!*"
• "Sky Tower" (at the end by trumpets before it loops)
• "Ultra Super Boss Battle"
• "Road to Victory"
• "CROWNED"
• "Each to His Own World*" (2:16)
• "Returning to Dream Land" (0:00) (0:49) (1:30) (1:52) (4:05)

Also, notably, this is used at the end of "Bonus Track: Last Battle" from Kirby Wii Music Selection, which to me signifies the meaning of this as the "main theme" of the game.

Cookie Country

When this is heard in "Cookie Country" it plays a short version of it. A more longer version plays at the second section of "The Adventure Begins" but it is noticeable that they are the overall same motif.

In:

• "Cookie Country"
• "The Adventure Begins"
• "Challenge Results*"
• "Dangerous Dinner"
• "Let Me Explain Everything*"
• "Fly! Kirby of the Stars"
• "Arena Results*"
• "CROWNED"
• "Each to His Own World*" (0:49) (2:04)
• "Returning to Dream Land" (0:18) (0:52) (2:06) (3:12)

The Adventure Begins

"The Adventure Begins", the theme, has three leitmotifs in it. The third one in it is the first section of this page above there. The second one is the second section just on top of this one. The first leitmotif of that theme is what this section is about. Now here you see what I meant in the opening paragraph here.

Appears in:

• "A Visitor from Afar*" (0:54)
• "The Adventure Begins"
• "Halcandra: A New Enemy*" (0:40)
• "Apparatus Area*"
• "Dangerous Dinner"
• "Let Me Explain Everything*"
• "Extra Main Menu*"
• "CROWNED"
• "Each to His Own World*" (0:42) (1:30) (1:57) (maybe the bells at 2:33 too?)
• "Returning to Dream Land" (1:34) (1:59) (2:59) (3:25)

Bring on the Super Ability

This appears more noticeable as second sections in both Sky Tower and Road to Victory, but it is more saneably name it after Bring on the Super Ability.

So in:

• "A Visitor from Afar*" (1:45)
• "Bring on the Super Ability"
• "Sky Tower"
• "Ultra Super Boss Battle"
• "Final Battle*"
• "Road to Victory"
• "Final Battle EX*"
• "Returning to Dream Land" (1:18) (2:37)

Magolor, the Distant Traveler

Now this one does have a name! Evade the text at the top of the page, this is totally the name of this. And it has two sections.

Heard in:

• "A Visitor from Afar*"
• "Magolor, the Distant Traveler"
• "The Lor Starcutter Reborn*"
• "Halcandra: A New Enemy*"
• "Let Me Explain Everything*"
• "CROWNED"
• "Each to His Own World*" (1:43)
• "Returning to Dream Land" (2:18) (2:53)

Ominous cutscene motif

• "A Visitor from Afar*" (0:37)
• "Halcandra: A New Enemy*" (0:50)

Curious cutscene motif

• "A Visitor from Afar*" (1:05)
• "Halcandra: A New Enemy*" (1:16)

Advancement cutscene motif

I don't know is these are all the same one or if this is actually two. Compare the ones in "Final Battle*" and "Final Battle EX*" to see what I mean.

• "Halcandra: A New Enemy*" (0:05) (0:29)
• "Let Me Explain Everything*" (1:47)
• "Final Battle*" (0:29)
• "Final Battle EX*" (0:46)
• "Each to His Own World*" (0:29)
• "Returning to Dream Land" (0:29) (1:04) (3:59)

For some reason this is also used in "Bonus Track: Last Battle" from Kirby Wii Music Selection when CROWNED is ending, in a way that seems like if that melody was a normal part of CROWNED. It appears at 4:37 but then it is heard more at 4:44 because trumpets.

Underground motif

In four themes that are underground based, two of them notably very related to Egg Engines:

• "Rocky Area*"
• "Eerie Area*" (by that echo sound at the beginning)
• "Steel Hometown"
• "Underworld"

Weird second section motif

I am sorry but there is no other way to name this. You may want to see this and this yes.

The main melody pains in:

• "Over the Hills" (and its early version)
• "Undersea Walk" (and its early version)
• "Slide Area*" (and its early version)
• "A unused theme"
• "Yin-Yarn" from Kirby's Epic Yarn
• "Mega Yin-Yarn*" from Kirby's Epic Yarn

The intro appears in:

• "Over the Hills"
• "Onion Ocean"
• "A unused theme"

Another Dimension

A segment of "Another Dimension" is used in "Under My Control", that's it.
