Mario Kart 8 Deluxe[edit]
In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as part of Wave 5 of the Booster Course Pass, an arrangement of "GBA Sunset Wilds" plays in GBA Sunset Wilds. This theme now has a much more orchestral-like style staying true to the Western theme, with the banjo now playing for nearly the whole theme as a backing track. The Exploring Shy Guys also vocalize along to the music when driving past them, making GBA Sunset Wilds the only course added in the Booster Course Pass to feature Shy Guy vocalizations. A looping drum set beat is added to the instrumentation whenever the player is driving at top speed while in first place.
