Named after [[Road to Victory|what seems to be one of the first themes composed for the game]]. Some people, like [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKmg_HU9JQE this video], name it "A Visitor from Afar". This is the first melody in both of those themes so whatever fits. [[Sky Tower]] was apparently composed first, too, so it may even originate from there. | Named after [[Road to Victory|what seems to be one of the first themes composed for the game]].

I heavily consider this as ''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 is in the background of a lot of themes in the game. It is included in remixes of theme that didn't have it originally. This thing is just everywhere. There are other motifs in this game that can be considered as being "the main theme", namely the following three or four in this page, but between all of them, this one clearly has the most spotlight, so it is the primary main one. This also came to be in [[Kirby for Nintendo GameCube|the first iteration of the whole project]] and ended up surviving until the end with a lot of appearances. Like come on. | I heavily consider this as ''the'' main theme of the game.

==Cookie Country== | ==Cookie Country== | ||
The first melody heard when opening the game, not counting the Wii Channel jingle, thus counted by some people as one of the main motifs of the game. It is the melody that starts "Four Adventurers: Cookie Country", so it is most often if not always referred to through that theme. A short version of that melody is heard in that song. A longer version instead plays at the second section of "The Adventure Begins", but it is noticeable that they are the overall same motif. Some instances seem to be based on the short version from "Four Adventurers: Cookie Country", while others seem to be based on the long version from "The Adventure Begins". As we know that "Four Adventurers: Cookie Country" has an earlier short version, but "Four Adventurers: Cookie Country" doesn't have an earlier version present anywhere from our knowledge, maybe this actually originated from "Four Adventurers: Cookie Country", but we don't know for sure, and that theme has another leitmotif to call its own. | |||

"The Adventure Begins", the theme, has three leitmotifs in it | "The Adventure Begins", the theme, has three leitmotifs in it, maybe four. The first leitmotif of that theme is what this section is about, but after this one there are several other ones, like the first two covered above. Now this is why I don't like to refer to leitmotifs after themes, but whatever. This is what beings "The Adventure Begins" so we'll go with that. This one also has a good record of appearances so it can be treated as a main motif of this game. | ||

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. | 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.
