About

Kirby's Dreamland Challenge is a video remix series featuring footage of people dancing with a notable musical track from the Kirby series dubbed over the background audio.

Origin

In 1996, Kirby Super Star was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or Super Famicom in Japan). The game features a variety of mini-games, including the Gourmet Race mini-game. The mini-game features a musical track, composed by Jun Ishikawa and often titled Gourmet Race, that has since been featured in other Kirby games as well as remixed in fan covers, MAD videos, and YouTube Poop Music Videos (YTPMVs for short). The track was remixed in the Nintendo 64 game Super Smash Bros., where it was used as the theme for the Dream Land stage (shown below, left). On March 7th, 2015, YouTuber Tim Piper uploaded footage of a group of goth teenagers dancing under an overpass dubbed with the Dream Land theme (shown below, right).
