This article is about the slow Gourmet Race remix. For the Kirby's Adventure cutscene theme, see Fountain of Dreams (theme from Kirby's Adventure).

"Fountain of Dreams", also known as "Dream Land" and "Gourmet Race (Melee)", is a musical track that first appeared in the Fountain of Dreams stage of Super Smash Bros. Melee. It is a slower paced remix of Gourmet Race, with a more dramatic tone. It is one of the few Kirby songs that originally debuted in a Super Smash Bros. game and was later incorporated into the games.

Game appearances

Super Smash Bros. series

"Fountain of Dreams" debuts in Super Smash Bros. Melee, and 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.

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 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 (Melee)" and can play in any Kirby series stage, as well as Battlefield, its derivatives, and Final Destination.
