A leitmotif is a musical "phrase" or melody, re-used in numerous music tracks to associate a tune with a person, event, or location.

Composed by Paul Arnold and Andrew Barnabas, the MediEvil soundtracks have only two leitmotifs:

MediEvil 2

MediEvil: Resurrection

MediEvil (2019)

Demos

An early version of IG2A is used in the following demo versions:

Dan's Waltz

This leitmotif is used in fewer tracks, but still appears in every game except for MediEvil 2.
