Yeah, it's there, and it's odd. Also, it seems to warn of upcoming danger. It'll be interesting to see how that works. Note that MM8 doesn't actually have that feature despite what review sites say. MM8, like the rest of the series, will allow you to blindly run into an enemy without a single warning that it's just off screen. There is only one acception to that, and that's the snowboarding sections of two levels where it will either tell you to "jump! jump!" or "slide! slide!", and it'll happen often enough that someone who just walked in might say "is it me or is rap music just getting lazier?".
I have to say that it would seem that there is remixed tunes in the sound test, but not nearly as much as the full remix of the PS2 version. So, it seems it wasn't so much Capcom so much as a lack of disk space that did it.
I have also realized something I should have realized long ago. Ya know the whole custom disk thing that Nintendo managed to get US excited about? Well, we were played for frickin' chumps. What has this custom disk thing done for US gamers... at all? How about for developers? Anything? Didn't think so. The ONLY thing that custom disk size is good for is what it was made for, copyright protection. That's only good for piraters. Essentially, piraters got Nintendo to do something that actually only ended up screwing us and developers over. Sorry, the custom disk thing is nothing to be happy about after all, in any way. They really should have just found some special incription like the other two companies and just used the standard DVD format.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
