In Kirby Star Allies, during the second phases of both Parallel Dedede and Parallel Meta Knight's battle, the music changes to a remix titled 異空をかけた剣王との戦い (Another Swordsman and King's World to Win).

Super Kirby Clash
In Super Kirby Clash, King D-Mind's standard battle uses Giant Masked Dedede's theme from Kirby's Blowout Blast, while the battle against King D-Mind's Revenge uses both of his themes from Team Kirby Clash Deluxe. In both cases, the themes are lightly remixed with electronic instrumentation and additional effects.
Kirby Fighters 2
Hints of "Masked Dedede's Theme" play in Waning Crescent Masked Dedede & Waxing Crescent Masked Meta Knight's battle theme in Kirby Fighters 2, though only as accompaniment to the main tune, which more closely follows the main version of "King Dedede's Theme" along with "Boarding the Halberd" and "VS. Meta Knight".

It's arranged by Yuki Shimooka and can be found as Track 61 at the Waddle Live! Corner Stage. This version of the theme follows the original theme fairly closely, though it features a few different bridging interludes and includes King Dedede's "chanting" as an instrument.

In Kirby's Dream Buffet, the original version from Kirby Super Star Ultra can be unlocked for potential use in races upon reaching Gourmet Rank 82, named Kirby Super Star Ultra: Memorial Song 2 in-game. The arrangement from Kirby and the Forgotten Land, named Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Bonus Song 2 in-game, can also be unlocked for potential use in races after the player's first Gourmet Grand Prix if the game detects save data for Kirby and the Forgotten Land on the user's Nintendo Switch.
Additionally, the Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival "King Dedede Medley", which has a section dedicated to "Masked Dedede's Theme", is unlocked by reaching Gourmet Rank 135, named Kirby 30th Music Fest: HAL Laboratory Dream Band Song in-game.
