This remix of the music that typically plays when [[Kirby]] battles [[King Dedede]] returns from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. This remix bears the biggest resemblance to the version of the music in ''{{s|wikirby|Kirby's Dream Land 3}}''. The first loop heavily uses techno beats, while the second uses much lower tones, slowly building up with brass.
