Gourmet Race (Kirby Super Star) - FanExpo 2026 - Greater Philadelphia Gamer Symphony Orchestra

Gourmet Race - Kirby Super Star (1996) Jun Ishikawa Arr. A.C. Menes Adapt. Matthew Killian Kirby games have always had some of the catchiest and happiest music of any Nintendo franchise. With “Gourmet Race,” Kirby isn’t playing around anymore. The tempo rises to a blistering 170mph (or maybe it’s bpm?) and never ceases to slow down. This is a race after all, and Kirby isn’t alone. While the woodwinds provide a light, bubbly nature to the main medley, the far more aggressive brass takes over when Kirby’s rival, King Dedede, catches up. As the two reach the finish line, the final moments bring all instruments together to cheer on everyone’s favorite pink, puffball hero. - The Greater Philadelphia Gamer Symphony Orchestra is a nonprofit community orchestra dedicated to performing orchestral arrangements of video game music. Founded in 2025, GPGSO was inspired by other Gamer Symphony Orchestras across the country and seeks to bring together adult musicians from a diverse range of backgrounds.
