User:Waddlez3121/Leitmotif
A leitmotif is a recurring musical piece that is associated with something. They appear in just about anything involving music, such as classical music, films, and video games. The Kirby series is no exception, so this page aims to document them.
Game leitmotifs[edit]
Many titles include some form of a repeated theme, even if they are not immediately apparent. Qualifying leitmotifs must be used more than once in a game's soundtrack.
Kirby's Adventure[edit]
"Vegetable Valley" is (somebody else needs to do this section because I'm not good at this one)
Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]
Kirby Super Star introduces multiple leitmotifs, the first time a game has done such: "Peanut Plains" and "Kirby's Triumphant Return".
"Peanut Plains" features in such tracks as "Gourmet Race" and "helpiforgotanotherexample". It has a minor variant in the "Boss" theme, which also appears in "VS. Marx".
"Kirby's Triumphant Return" appears in "Crystal Area" and "Boarding the Halberd", among others. It makes a standalone appearance in the cutscene featuring Nova's defeat.

Series leitmotifs[edit]
Some themes are not leitmotifs in their own game, but become a leitmotif through repeated use in future installments, often used as part of a medley or other combination of tracks.
