- This article is about the slow paced Gourmet Race remix. For the Kirby's Adventure cutscene theme that plays at the beginning of The Fountain of Dreams, see Level 8 Demo.
"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.
