"Route 8 on a Winter Day" from Kirby's Dream Buffet by Hirokazu Ando.

An arrangement of the theme titled "Route 8 on a Winter Day" can be unlocked at Gourmet Rank 16 as a music theme for Races. It was arranged by Hirokazu Ando.

Other appearances[edit]

"Iceberg Ocean" in "Kirby Ball Medley" from the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert, arranged by Megumi Ohara and performed by the Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra.

The original version of the theme was featured in the Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack as track number 5.

The theme was also performed live in the Kirby 25th Anniversary Orchestra Concert as part of the "Kirby Ball Medley", along with "Whispy Woods Land", "Drawcia Sorceress", and "Rainbow Across the Skies."

Trivia[edit]

  • The name "Iceberg Ocean" originates from a fan-made rip of the Kirby's Dream Course soundtrack released on the site SNESmusic.org. This rip dates back to at least 2004.[3] "Iceberg Ocean" was first used in official English-language Kirby material with the 2012 release of the Kirby's Dream Collection Special Edition Compilation Soundtrack; it does not match the Japanese name, which translates to "Course 8: Snow Stage".
