Interestingly, there are three distinct variations of the long Kirby Dance melody. The primary difference is the end of the second bar. In the original version, this consists of a leap from C down to G. However, starting in ''Kirby's Dream Course'', [[Hirokazu Ando]] consistently arranges it as a leap from C down to E. Meanwhile, starting with ''Kirby Super Star'', Jun Ishikawa usually arranges it as a leap from C down to E followed by a lower C. This can be best compared by the two different arrangements in ''Kirby's Return to Dream Land'' — the Ishikawa version goes C-E-C, while the Ando version goes C-E.

The theme is arranged at the end of the track '''カクテルを{{furi|作|つく}}ろう!''' ("[[Butter Building (theme)|Let's Make a Cocktail!]]") on the Japanese ''[[Kirby's Adventure (soundtrack)|Kirby's Adventure]]'' vocal album. The arrangement is a moderate-tempo, gentle, almost completely rewritten melody in A-flat major, and contrasts heavily with the lively original.

''Kirby no Kirakira Kids Original CD Masters'', a soundtrack CD ostensibly made to accompany the Game Boy version of ''[[Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy)|Kirby's Star Stacker]]'', features only entirely re-instrumented arrangements of the game's music tracks. This includes track 14, ダンス (Dance), which features two loops of the long version of the Kirby Dance theme.

The Kirby Dance theme was arranged in the style of an ''eki-melo'' or [[wikipedia:Train melody|train melody]] jingle for the [[Kirby Pupupu Train]] merchandise event. This arrangement can be found on the ''[[Kirby Pupupu Train Eki-melo Collection]]'' as track 13, '''クリアダンス/駅メロ Ver.''' (''Clear Dance - Eki-melo Ver.'').

The opening segment of the [[Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival]], ''Green Greens ~ Running Through the New World'', closes with a slow-tempo orchestral/big band arrangement of the Kirby Dance theme. Accompanying this is a compilation of Kirby dancing across thirty years' worth of video games, representing every game that features the Kirby Dance except ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', ''[[Kirby's Dream Course]]'', [[Kirby's Star Stacker (Game Boy)|''Kirby's Star Stacker'' (Game Boy)]], ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'',''[[Kirby Fighters Deluxe]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'' (while also including a non-dance from ''[[Kirby's Blowout Blast]]''). Shortly afterwards, while introducing the audience to the glowsticks provided for the concert, Kirby performs the dance and hums the dance tune in a manner similar to the Cook Kirby "arrangement" in ''Kirby Star Allies''.
The short version from ''[[Kirby Star Allies]]'' is used as the 1st place jingle at the end of a ''Super Kirby Clash'' Maximus Cup round in ''[[harddrop:Tetris 99|Tetris 99]]''.
