I wonder if it's worth noting the reappearance of his usual mordent by linking another Kirby song he's made with it (for instance, Kirby + Kirby from KatRC. Granted, that page doesn't exist yet, but hey, it's a good idea, right)?)

"On a Fun Drive with You" is a Race theme from Kirby's Dream Buffet unlocked at the start of the game. It was composed by Shogo Sakai.[1]

Composition

Not sure this drive is exactly "fun" for pink Kirby.

"On a Fun Drive with You" is a lively, lovely theme in G Major and 4/4. Immediately, the song starts with an exciting brass buildup that explodes into a quieter melody with a jazzy feel, initially headed by an organ. There are quite a few spots in this initial melody that briefly change from G Major to an E Minor harmony, before swapping back. Within the melody's second repetition, a brass ornament can be heard, specifically a mordent that is very characteristic of Shogo Sakai's style. Quickly, the main melody is overtaken by a violin, while the piano in the background provides more of a supporting role. The song's beginning then plays again (minus the buildup), this time with the brass mordent occurring earlier. The violin segment gets another chance to shine, with a slight alteration on the mordent from before, and a new addition to the song in the form of a rattling tambourine. Suddenly, the song switches key to C Major during a short interlude, and a violin-focused section with more piano backing takes place. Halfway through said section, brass accompaniment occurs, and the song slowly switches back to its initial G Major key through dominant. A saxophone then becomes the focal point of the song, playing a suave and smooth melody that is accompanied by the background instruments also having switched from C Major to G Major. All of a sudden, a "windy" sound effect plays, and the song quiets, only for the brass buildup from the beginning to make its return. The song then loops.
