This track is a metal-based remix/arrangement of the music for Round 1 & 3 of the Gourmet Race sub-game in Kirby Super Star, which is also the background music for the Sand Canyon 2 level of Kirby's Dream Land 3.

This remix is actually the third remix of the same track in the Super Smash Bros. franchise; the original Super Smash Bros. featured a remix of this track that played on the Dream Land stage, which also returned for Melee. Melee also featured an original remix of this track on the Fountain of Dreams stage, which in turn returned for Brawl, the Super Smash Bros. game this track plays in. This also happens to be the only version of the track officially using the name 'Gourmet Race', as the original version from Kirby Super Star is known as "Get Up and Go-urmet!" in Kirby's Dream Collection.
