"Toy Rhythm" from Kirby: Triple Deluxe was composed with an old-school NES era sound in mind. A real NES console was used to sample noises for the song. The internal name of the song reflects this: "BGM_LP_FAMICOM1"; Famicom is the Japanese name of the NES. (Source)

"Braving the Storm" from Kirby and the Rainbow Curse is a remix of "Way Blocked" from Kirby Mass Attack. While the first half is pretty faithful to the original, the second half is more unique.

In one of the extra stages of Kirby: Triple Deluxe, a remix of "The Adventure Begins" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land plays. Its internal name and official name appear to imply that said remix is in reality an older version of the song, that was meant to be used in Kirby GCN.

The beginning of "VS. Star Dream" from Kirby: Planet Robobot sounds similar to "Spinning Jungle" from Kirby: Triple Deluxe. Composer Hirokazu Ando has commented on this similarity, saying it was "just a coincidence that they are similar". (Source)

There are two unused arrangements of the Kirby Dance tune in Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards' Sound Check. The Kirby Dance is not present anywhere in that game, but perhaps it was intended to be in at some point in development.

In the American versions of Kirby's Epic Yarn and its 3DS port Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn, the remixed Kirby songs are all said to be from "Kirby's Dream Land", no matter their origin game (first image). The original Japanese referred to the main series in general, not the game. The European English version doesn't have this mistranslation (second image), and correctly claims it's from the series in general. This mistake likely happened because, in Japanese, the name of Kirby's Dream Land is the same as the name of the main Kirby series, 星ほしのカービィ (ほしのカービィ, Hoshi no Kābyi, Kirby of the Stars).

“The Scarred Land of Fresh Greens and Dreams” (夢と新緑の残痕地, also translated as "Land of Dreams and Fresh Greens' Remains" and other variations) from Kirby Star Allies was originally composed as the fourth movement theme of Void Termina. (Source)

The name of Meta Knight's battle theme in Kirby Star Allies, 友と交わるその剣の音 (Friend and the Sound of Those Crossing Blades), appears to be a nod to the Japanese name of "My Friend and the Sunset" from Kirby Super Star, 友と夕陽と… (Friend and Sunset...). The KSA song is a remix of said song.

"Shooting" from Kirby's Dream Land was remixed many times to serve as Kabula's theme: in Kirby Super Star Ultra as "Flying Fortress Kabula", in Kirby: Planet Robobot as "Core Kabula Surprise!", and in Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe as "Kabula Limit" and its variation, "Kabula Limit (Secret Song)". The theme plays when battling Kabula in Kirby's Dream Land, since Kirby has the Mint Leaf during said battle.

Kirby and the Rainbow Curse uses some songs from the Japanese version of the Kirby anime, two examples being "More Dig and Dash" and "Evade and Dig and Dash", from episode 74, "Caterpillar Thriller" ("Mosugaba Strikes Back!" in Japanese); both are arrangements of "Mosugaba's song" (conjectural title) and taken directly from the anime. Kirby Mass Attack also has two brand new arrangements of the same song.

In "Hoshi no Kirby 64 Original Soundtrack", "Above the Clouds" is credited to Hirokazu Ando. However, when reused in Kirby: Planet Robobot, the song is credited to Jun Ishikawa. This is likely because Ando composed the original song, "Butter Building", and Ishikawa arranged it.

The internal name of "Fly, Kirby" from Kirby's Return to Dream Land is st_halberd. It may be leftovers from the cancelled Kirby GCN game, as RtDL doesn't have the Halberd, but Kirby GCN did. The song is also similar to "Havoc Aboard the Halberd". Interestingly, another Kirby song used a similar idea to reference the Halberd via music.

"Fatal Blooms in Moonlight" from Kirby: Triple Deluxe was originally named "Moonstruck Blossom" in a Miiverse post. That name is a closer adaptation of the Japanese name, 狂花水月, but it can be adapted in many ways. See the image for an exploration of the Japanese name's meaning.

The last section of "VS. Marx" from Kirby Super Star basically has the same melody as "Boss Battle" from the same game. In "Boss Battle Medley / Electronic Ver." from Kirby Ultra Super Deluxe Original Sound Track, it's easy to notice, as the third section is completely in 4/4.
