'''"Gourmet Race"''', also known as '''"Get Up and Go-Urmet!"''' and '''"Gourmet Go Go"''', is a musical track that first appeared in the [[Gourmet Race]] game of ''[[Kirby Super Star]]''. It has since reappeared many times in the ''[[Kirby (series)|Kirby]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. (series)|Super Smash Bros.]]'' series, mainly in re-orchestrated and remastered versions. It is sometimes associated with [[King Dedede]], but is not [[King Dedede's Theme|his main theme]]. Moreover, since its usage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', the theme is sometimes associated with the [[Fountain of Dreams]].

The original version of "Gourmet Race" is set in the key of C minor (or E♭ major) at a tempo of around 186 beats per minute. It is set in 4/4 time, but has a marching rhythm similar to a galop. The instrumentation focuses heavily on brass instruments, and blends classical music with ska to create an upbeat sound.

====Dream Land / Gourmet Race (64)====

In the first ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' game, an arrangement of the Gourmet Race theme (titled "Dream Land Stage") is used for the [[Dream Land]] stage. It is similar to the original version, though with somewhat different instrumentation. It is arranged by Hirokazu Ando.

This version returns in ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' under the name "Dream Land N64", in which it again plays in the Dream Land stage and is also used for the battle against Giant Kirby in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode (SSBM)|Adventure Mode]]. It returns again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U]]'', under the name "Dream Land" (American English) / "Gourmet Race (64)" (British English), again playing in the Dream Land (64) stage, which returns as DLC; the theme is unlocked by downloading the stage. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', this version of the theme returns again under the name Gourmet Race <small>(64)</small>, and it can play in any ''Kirby'' series stage, as well as [[smashwiki:Battlefield (SSBU)|Battlefield]], its derivatives, [[smashwiki:Final Destination (SSBU)|Final Destination]], and the [[smashwiki:Gourmet Race|area]] in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|Adventure Mode: World of Light]] based on the Gourmet Race game from ''Kirby Super Star''.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', a slower-paced orchestral version of the Gourmet Race theme with a much more dramatic tone, titled "Fountain of Dreams", is used in the [[Fountain of Dreams]] stage. It can also play in the [[Green Greens]] stage in Adventure Mode and is one of [[Kirby]]'s credits themes. It is arranged by [[Tadashi Ikegami]].

This version reappears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' as one of the themes that can play on the Green Greens stage, under the name "Fountain of Dreams (Melee)", and it has a random chance of being unlocked when the player collects a [[smashwiki:CD|CD]]. It returns again in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' under the name "The Fountain of Dreams" (American English) / "Gourmet Race (Melee)" (British English), in which it can play in the DLC stage Dream Land (64) and is unlocked upon downloading that stage. It returns once again in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' under the name "Gourmet Race <small>(Melee)</small>" and can play in any ''Kirby'' series stage, as well as Battlefield, its derivatives, and Final Destination.

In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', a heavy metal version of the Gourmet Race theme appears under the name "Gourmet Race". It can play in the [[Halberd]] stage, and it is also used in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]] when fighting the false versions of Kirby, [[Meta Knight]], King Dedede, and [[smashwiki:Captain Olimar|Olimar]] in The Great Maze. It is arranged by [[wikipedia:Motoi Sakuraba|Motoi Sakuraba]].

This version reappears in ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', again playing in the Halberd stage. It is again named "Gourmet Race", though in the British English version, downloading the DLC stage Dream Land (64) causes its name to change to "Gourmet Race (Brawl)". It returns again in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' under the name "Gourmet Race <small>(Brawl)</small>" and can play in any ''Kirby'' series stage, as well as Battlefield, its derivatives, and Final Destination.

The version of the Gourmet Race theme from ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' is included in the ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror Sound Plus]]'' album, and the original version of Gourmet Race from ''Kirby Super Star'' is included in its companion album ''[[The Very Best of Kirby: 52 Hit Tracks]]''

The Gourmet Race theme has been performed live several times by orchestras, most prominently in the [[Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert]] as part of the ''Kirby Super Star Medley''. It also appeared in the [[Kirby 30th Anniversary Music Festival]] as part of the ''Go Go! Kirby Race Medley'' (along with "[[Pink Ball Activate!|Outlaw Driver]]", "[[Circuit Speedway (theme)|Circuit Speedway]]", "[[Top Ride: Grass]]", and "[[City Trial: City]]").
