I like to imagine the original Gourmet Race with Lyrics is how the actual race went down, while this one is from Dedede's perspective, agrandizing himself as a champion while unaware that Kirby's actually beating him in a race
@@smugsuphia7846I'm imagining him competing. And it's hilarious. He ain't a foodie like kirby and Dedede, and imagining him trying to run, move his mask so he can eat, and not trip over his cape at the same time as trying to keep up with the biggest eaters in dreamland is hilarious. I can see him passing out in a food coma halfway through, and no one noticing he's gone until it's over.
@@candlestone5397 He’s not a foodie, but he is a sugar addict. I’d imagine MK going exclusively for the vegetables and sweets and only beating DDD because the former was faster than the latter
@@phantom_jay13 True, but even though he isn't one, he has the power to match and even defeat some. Given that Dedede is often against Kirby and is able to keep relative pace with him, it truly says something about him.
I love how dedede is singing about defeating Kirby while Kirby is doing the chorus for him. Kirby is such a kind being, helping dedede look cool even though he always tries to humiliate him.
I think I expected the choir from the art but the sheer melodic majesty of "po-yo po-yo pi" still made me sit up in my couch. We well and truly have peaked.
@@thelastmaster7996 exactly! Both are just too good and fit him so well. His right back at ya voice fits his personality while this voice for him fits his visual design; both are just so amazingly well executed!
@@thelastmaster7996 I was debating whether this Dedede is of another universe or this is when the one voiced by Juno is at his most serious, or most majestic. Perhaps another trick he learned in night school.
Whelp, we officially have the absolute best Gourmet Race lyrical cover. There's no contest. This is absolutely peak. The Chad Anime Dedede singing opera alongside a chorus of Kirby is just absolutely perfect. This is it. This is what perfection looks like. There is absolutely no topping this. A round of applause to his majesty, a standing ovation for the King of Dreamland! A perfect 10/10!
I mean, I was hoping something new for the Kirby Bytes, and not have a joke song takes up a space for this series, since Kirby has so many good themes, it's still good ig, but still disappointing to me, that's just me, I guess I'll be getting dislikes tho..
@@andrewvanover9747 I mean, I completely agree with you, but for what it's worth, this isn't too bad. Though tbh, they REALLY should have just put this one as a surprise in the full-package vid.
I’ma be honest; extravagantly pompous dedede somehow fits him just as well in terms of voice when paired with his design. It’s presented so amazingly here that it might even slightly rival his right back at ya voice in my opinion.
Loyal and kind Waddle Dee that works for Dedede - "King Dedede did you win the race?" King Dedede - "Yes and I made a song about it." *Dedede says as he reveals a grand TV to show off his victory!"
Choirby was an inspired choice. I'm now going to imagine every line he says as having an echo. He still has that cutesy voice, just 10 of them, saying the same thing, 0.5 seconds out of sync.
Let me just say I’m loving the kirby covers. Its such a fun franchise where you can make some so goofy like gourmet race and make something so emotional with moonstruck blossom and its from the same franchise
Don't get me wrong, this is amazing, seriously. I actually like this one more than the original. I just hope that the last song for the Kirby Musical Bytes isn't just an epic cover of a song that was already part of the same musical bytes. Especially when there is plenty of other amazing Kirby songs they could do.
I see Alex has been practicing his opera skills quite well. Very well done - to both Alex and the others! This song was an unexpected, but not unwelcome surprise. I'm looking forward to what others you have up your sleeve!
I got scared when I saw the thumbnail for this in my notifications. But I'm very glad I clicked it anyway. I had a feeling it would be the second rendition of Gourmet Race from Melee.
This has been stuck in my head since it's release, and I often find myself singing 'Can you stomach a gourmet race with the king of the show? Three courses to show your prowess and see how far you'll go. If you're truly a hungry boy, the Kirby you should know, you've got a lot of ketchup with if you want to overthrow! Hope you're ready to eat my dust because you won't succeed! There's nobody on this planet that loves food more than me! Remember the name that beats you it's the one King Dedede! Do you like the flavor it's the taste of your defeat!" That's some of the best lyric writing I've heard in a long while, I *love* it!
when it said "but it's EPIC" i was not expecting a whole ass choir to sing as Kirby. also manga Dedede was not something i expected to see today. overall 10/10
Gourmet Race from Kirby's perspective: free food with a friend
Gourmet Race the way Dedede retells it:
That makes a whole ton of sense.
That's pretty much accurate
Gourmet race in the Kirbytards perspective: THE FOOD ARE GODS!!!
@@ThinkyBoi42 that sums up the entire dynamic of these too
The rock version is from waddle Dee's perspective, watching those two devour all in their way

I was thinking the same thing.
Instrumental says battle between gods. Lyrics are still about two blobby boys having a race and still gaining calories.
considering Kirby lore, thats not unfathomable.
You say that like they aren’t gods

Dedede eats so much, he needs two renditions to be satisfied
Three, even - this was originally a Songtober song, so there's three renditions of it on this channel.
He was not lying about wanting another bag of dem chips.
This reminds me of opera.

I wasn't expecting an Orchestra version of Gourmet Race, nor was I expecting it to sound as good as it does.
Im pretty sure this version was taken from a smash ultimate remix of the grourmet race from melee
@@evotheevolutions It was still unexpected, was it?
@@evotheevolutions might be wrong depending on when it was released but I think it was first in Air Ride.
The Melee remix
@evotheevolutions its fountain of dreams. Its a specific battle theme that impersonates gourmet race. Nightmare in dreamland
I love how dedede is singing about defeating Kirby while Kirby is doing the chorus for him. Kirby is such a kind being, helping dedede look cool even though he always tries to humiliate him.
Maybe the Kirby choir could be Tacs in disguise?
Me: Hmm, I wonder what MOTI means by “Epic”?
*Instantly hit with Kirby choir and Opera singing Dedede*
Me: …We…have peaked.
That's almost the same as my reaction
Yep, humanity has reached the highest point, the Kirby!
@leighamoebs4333 my reaction to the choir was "what the... hahahahah omg"
I honestly expected that from the moment I realized it was the Melee version of the song
I think I expected the choir from the art but the sheer melodic majesty of "po-yo po-yo pi" still made me sit up in my couch. We well and truly have peaked.
I…did not know Alex could sing like that.
I didn't even realize it until the end
He can only when possessed by the spirit of King Dedede himself.
There are other songs he does it too but they are older
I literally didn't realize it was him until my second time watching and I looked down at the voices
@@arthurpotter9213 King Dedede who used a uno reverse card for the first time
Now THIS is the truest portrayal of Dedede I’ve seen
Attitude wise? Yeah. This ain't just a fun Lil game to him, THIS IS THE GRAND GOURMET RACE YA KNUCKLEHEAD!

I was not expecting the Kirby choir

No one was prepared man
You should always be prepared for it, heck awaiting it
Fun fact: That’s official.
That shot of Dedede as he says “There’s nobody on this planet that loves food more than me” is just perfect

You mean fountain of dreams.
The poyos and the chad dedede got me like wtf.
There is really somone that was asked to record himself saying poyo pe pa poyo e an said "yeah sure".

since you said 10 specifically, i like to imagine this is a permanent consequence of kirby mass attack
Kirby Right Back At Ya is the greatest anime ever.
@@chillbizz74 my man
Every opinion is subjective except for this one. It’s just correct.
Facts.
Oh, they made it 1,2 oatmeal, didn't the--
Oh, I can fuck with this actually!
Kudos to whoever hits that really high poyo at 2:30! That's insanely high!
This truly was a gourmet race
0:18 the wild flashbang of perfectly harmonized poyo pi’s
2:29 King Dedede: "It's the taste of your defeat!"
Kirby: Pi, poyo pi ya po. (So, I have news for you.)
This is EXACTLY what I needed for Gourmet Race. Love how overly epic it goes, it makes me chuckle.
I did NOT expect the choir for Kirby 💀💀💀
The Music is good and all but can we talk about that perfect movement at 0:48
I did NOT expect a Kirby Choir.
this is beyond hilarious, i love this.
Forget the choir, I wasn't ready for Dedede to go full opera
Let me just say I’m loving the kirby covers. Its such a fun franchise where you can make some so goofy like gourmet race and make something so emotional with moonstruck blossom and its from the same franchise
I.... was not expecting this. I was never expecting this. But genuinely you guys do an amazing job on this.
My therapist: Epic Dedede isn't real, it can't hurt you
Epic Dedede: *insert opera singing voice*
The world is a better place now that this exists.
Why does this sound like an epic ballad? Why is this so good? I think this may unironically be one of the best MotI songs yet.
All this sudden Kirby content is awakening something I didn't know was dormant and this cover was the final piece.
*I didn’t see anyone complaining about the original, I think this was made out of obligation*
Explain
I love the reference to the Kirby anime in the appearance of Epic Dedede XD
This is not what I was expecting at all but let’s fucking go
Also I was surprised that this is Alex singing, never heard him use a voice like this before and it’s awesome
This is honestly one of my favorite songs you have made. Keep it up!
Truly grandiose, definitely fit for a king. I definitely love the epic poyos
Regular gourmet race: how I sing normally
This: how I sing in the shower
Juno's artwork on this one may rival their buff Luigi art...
These two would destroy every single buffet around the world.
"Give me another container of those crisps!"
When I saw the title I genuinely thought this was going to be ribbing the channels that do the “song but epic” thing but no this is actually well done
Did not expect to see gigachad anime Dedede today, but I ain't complaining
Not gonna lie, I was expecting the heavy metal remix of Gourmet Race from Brawl, but this surpasses my expectations!
I'm gonna make sure I remember all the lyrics so that they come in my head whenever I hear a version of Gourmet Race
This is the only appropriate use of the internet
My tears won't stop flowing 😭
That face from "Right Back At Ya!" was truly epic! Who knew anyone else was hungry for a 2nd encore!
We peaked as a species today
Don't get me wrong, this is amazing, seriously. I actually like this one more than the original. I just hope that the last song for the Kirby Musical Bytes isn't just an epic cover of a song that was already part of the same musical bytes. Especially when there is plenty of other amazing Kirby songs they could do.
Good news, Star Dream dropped on the literal last day of the month.
The art for 1:23 is art
How much you wanna bet that Alex and the others were losing their minds when the artist submitted the glorious art shown here?
I see Alex has been practicing his opera skills quite well. Very well done - to both Alex and the others! This song was an unexpected, but not unwelcome surprise. I'm looking forward to what others you have up your sleeve!
Ladies and Gentlemen we have truly reached the Peak of musical art THE GOURMET RACE ORCHESTRA!!
Both rendition worth of a King. Dedede truly deserves them
I love the Kirby right back at ya reference in the art. XD
This is the most epic (or anime style) kirby music that I have ever heard!
We NEED a one hour version of this.
it said 59 seconds. I said "nah my thumb faster."
I got scared when I saw the thumbnail for this in my notifications. But I'm very glad I clicked it anyway. I had a feeling it would be the second rendition of Gourmet Race from Melee.
I'm convinced the normal version is Kirby's mindset, while this one is King Dedede's mindset.
