It's not the size that counts, but how you use it.
When I first went out to try and find a definition for "leitmotif" I stumbled upon the Wikipedia entry for "leitmotif" and found a reference to Erich Wolfgang Korngold and his score to "The Adventures of Robin Hood."
And when I looked up the leitmotifs to the adventures of robin hood, I stumbled across this blog post by Mark Richards:

After reading the post, I was so enthralled by the potential for a film score not only have developed leitmotifs, but to actually have leitmotifs that transformed, that I went out and immediately bought the film. And since watching and listening to it a dozen or so times, it might just be my favorite film score of all time.
So a sincere thank you to Mr. Richards and whoever edited the Wikipedia entry for "Leitmotif" for introducing me to The Adventures of Robin Hood!
Also, if you want to know more about the usage of leitmotif in this film, then check out:
"Singing the king: A retrospective prolepsis in The Adventure of Robin Hood" in "Music and Levels of Narration in Film" by Guido Heldt
Also, if you just so happen to be interested in more of the details in this film (like myself) there's a whole book about it here!

And if you're interested in a more detailed breakdown of Shovel Knight's soundtrack, then I'd strongly suggest checking out 8bit's video on it here:

EDIT: Sorry for the typo, here is the YouTube channel where I find all of the Wagner Leitmotif examples: / @wagnerleitmotifs7654
Also, it looks like I missed the cave level in Super Mario World as well.
