Wild Woods, Shy Guy Falls, Wii Wario’s Gold Mine, etc. have the Shy Guys inside the same stream files as the song and frontrunning beats. However, you don’t need to be literally right next to them to hear them like you do in GBA Sunset Wilds. Notice that if you’re just driving by, it’s hard to hear them unless you stop right next to them, whereas in the examples above, you just need to be in the general area to hear them.I mean, it would be redundant for the developers to make entire versions of the tracks with the Shy Guys. It would take up unnecessary space.
Also, the frontrunning beats are in the same stream files, unlike MK7 where it was just a generic drum beat that had it’s tempo shifted for the different songs, and the Final Lap variations are also their own separate files, so MK8 doesn’t shy away from using extra space in this way. However, the stream files are small enough it’s not a problem in the game (they can be losslessly expanded to flac files, but use a specific type of compression to get the file size way down).
