This song is an arrangement of the theme for [[Spiral Mountain]], the introductory area of ''Banjo-Kazooie''. Arranged by the original composer, Grant Kirkhope, the remix references the themes for other areas in both ''Banjo-Kazooie'' and ''Banjo-Tooie'', including Treasure Trove Cove, Freezeezy Peak, Gruntilda's Lair, Rusty Bucket Bay, and Mayahem Temple.<ref>{{ | This song is an arrangement of the theme for [[Spiral Mountain]], the introductory area of ''Banjo-Kazooie''.

When the first loop is complete, however, it becomes a triumphant orchestral arrangement, and returns to the beginning after an original refrain. | ||

**Series composer Grant Kirkhope was first hinted about the prospect of Banjo and Kazooie in ''Super Smash Bros.'' when Davide Soliani, creative director of the Switch-exclusive ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle'' (which Kirkhope also composed for), emailed him asking for his contact information on behalf of Nintendo. Kirkhope was initially skeptical, but accepted the offer anyway; upon learning that he was being asked to arrange music for Banjo and Kazooie's appearance in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', he was incredibly excited to return to the characters.<ref>{{ | **Series composer Grant Kirkhope was first hinted about the prospect of Banjo and Kazooie in ''Super Smash Bros.'' when Davide Soliani, creative director of the Switch-exclusive ''Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle'' (which Kirkhope also composed for), emailed him asking for his contact information on behalf of Nintendo.
