The Butter Building theme is composed by Hirokazu Ando for Kirby's Adventure. It is one of the most well known themes in the Kirby series.
Game Appearances
Kirby's Adventure / Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land
The theme is used mostly in the level of the same name, although it can be heard in some stages of other levels.
In Adventure, a faster paced and shorter version of the theme plays in the Crane Fever Sub Game, while the crane is moving.
Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards
A slow-paced remix of this theme plays in stage 2 of Shiver Star. It is named くものうえで (Above the Clouds) in the Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Original Soundtrack, and is arranged by Jun Ishikawa[1].
Kirby: Canvas Curse
A very faithful and upbeat arrangement of the theme plays in Silent Seabed.
Kirby: Squeak Squad
A version of the Butter Building theme very similar to the Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land one, except with an updated soundfont, can be heard in stages 4, 5 and EX of Prism Plains, Cushy Cloud - Stage EX, Ice Island - Stage 3 and Secret Sea - Stage 3.
Super Smash Bros. series
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a track named Butter Building is one of the tracks available to be played as a default track in the Halberd stage. Despite being named after the Butter Building theme, it's actually a medley, although it predominantly features said theme.
In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the Butter Building theme receives another medley named after it, this time called Butter Building Ver. 2. It's one of the default tracks of the The Great Cave Offensive stage. Butter Building from Brawl also returns for the Halberd stage, but this time as an unlockable track.
The two remixes along with their stages reappear in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, now being playable in all Kirby series stages, like all other tracks. However, both are renamed: Butter Building to Butter Building (Brawl) and Butter Building Ver. 2 to Butter Building (for 3DS / Wii U). Both are available from the start as default tracks.
Kirby's (Extra) Epic Yarn
A piano centered arrangement of the Butter Building theme plays in Tempest Towers.
Kirby's Dream Collection: Special Edition
The Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land arrangement of the theme is reused in Happiness Hall.
Kirby Fighters Deluxe
The original Kirby's Adventure version of the theme is reused in the Butter Building stage.
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
A remix of the theme can be unlocked and then played at the Sound Test.
Kirby: Planet Robobot
The "Above the Clouds" version from Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards is reused in Resolution Road - Stage 6 EX.
Other Appearances
In the Hoshi no Kirby Yume no Izumi Monogatari soundtrack album, the Butter Building theme receives a vocal remix named カクテルを作つくろう! (Let's Make a Cocktail!).
In the bonus track Club Mix フィールドのなか (Club Mix: In the Fields) of the Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards Original Soundtrack, the "Above the Clouds" arrangement of the theme is mixed in with other level themes of the game, along with some of Kirby's voice clips.
In The Sound of Kirby Café, the theme receives an upbeat remix in Track 2: Butter Brimming Building / Butter Building.
