It's funny you say this. WiKirby (The Kirby Wiki) documents each recurring theme in the series and all the various leitmotifs and remixes of that theme from other games. They even have clips of each instance on their corresponding pages! I would highly recommend scrolling through Wikirby and just listening to all the variations, starting with my favorite, King Dedede's Theme or All My Friends and the Setting Sun (Meta Knight's Theme)!

17:57 Really glad you mentioned Jun Ishikawa by name! He's been making Kirby music since the original Kirby's Dream Land (30+ years ago!), and is responsible for something that wasn't mentioned in this video, the "Kirby Beach Aesthetic". If you listen to other Kirby beach songs made by Ishikawa (Examples include "Aqua Star" from Kirby 64, "Bountiful Star" from Kirby Planet Robobot, "Reef Resort" from Kirby Star Allies, and "Abandoned Beach" from Kirby and the Forgotten Land), you'll hear a bit of Float Islands DNA! If you ever feel like coming back to Kirby music, a topic I HEAVILY recommend is the fact that most mainline Kirby music over the past 3 decades has been made by only two people, the aforementioned Jun Ishikawa, and Hirokazu Ando, who first started making Kirby music with Kirby's Adventure on the NES (That said, new composers have joined HAL Laboratories in recent years.) There's a very nice juxtaposition between the two composers For example, the bizarre techno arrangements at 9:40 & 9:55 were by Jun Ishikawa, and the jazzy rendition at 14:11 (Which is my personal favorite Float Islands arrangement) was by Hirokazu Ando! A cool bit of trivia about Hirokazu Ando's compositional style (You might have detected this in Industrial Laboratory at 14:11) is that he disregards human playability in his music! He prefers to make songs with a simple melody, but complex backings (Citation for this is from a 2018 Forbes article called "The Music Of Kirby: Still Tickling Gamers Pink".) This mindset can be seen in songs like "Dreaming of Clouds" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land, "Fatal Blooms in Moonlight" from Kirby Triple Deluxe, and "Blue Blizzard Remix" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe. (All 3 of these songs are EXTREMELY HIGH recommendations personally) By the way, some extra trivia, the Float Islands renditions at 5:13 & 13:42 with the cool reharmonizations were (most likely) done by Shogo Sakai, famous for making music for Super Smash Bros Melee and MOTHER 3. (Last bit of extra trivia, I promise.) If any of this info interests you, you can read up on WiKirby for more composer facts!

Glad you have taken a dive into one of the most iconic leitmotifs of the Kirby franchise. Love it! Speaking of which, there is no end to the reoccurring leitmotifs in this franchise, some of being reoccurring within the very games they debuted in. *Sky Tower* from Kirby's Return to Dreamland has become a modern staple in Kirby's roundhouse of reoccurring leitmotifs, as have *The Far-Flung Traveler* and *CROWNED* as leitmotifs associated with Magolor, a character introduced in that game. *The Noble Haltmann* practically courses through the vains of _Kirby Planet Robobot_ with there seldom being a track within the game that doesn't incorporate it, from the opening credits to the very final boss fight.
