A list of streams that exist as an entry, but the data is not present. Forcibly playing either crashes the game.

STM_MULTI_TEST_ALL
StmTestDemoBoss
StmTestBeatF
StmTestBeat
StmTestBeatSand
StmTestBeatSand2
StmTestBeatSand2Fast
StmTestBeatSand2Slow
StmTestStartFanfare
StmBossKoopa1
StmTitle
StmTestBeatAthre
StmTestBeatAthreF

The absence can be explained by developers attempting to shrink the rom size, removing files that wouldn't see use in this demo build.

Differences

The "Fast" version of the level themes (when the timer speeds up) start off with the main melody of the track, rather than starting the whole song over.
All fast themes in the prototype are missing their first measures (the lead in parts of each track). In the final, said measures are included, however unlikely they are to actually play in-game.
The "Hurry Up!' version of any level's music starts with only 50 seconds remaining, as opposed to 100.

Main Overworld#

The first level's theme sounds...different. That's because the main theme has some differences between the demo and final, some of which are, slightly different timing between the demo and the final, the demo is a bit slower, and the demo version has slightly different instrumentation, such as louder trumpets. These differences also affect the fast version.

STM_BGM_FIELD_WALK

Prototype	Final

STM_BGM_FIELD_WALK_FAST

Prototype	Final

Main Underground#

The underground theme seems to be of the same mix as the final release, but with much more subtle reverb/echo on the whole track. These differences, again, affect the fast version.

STM_BGM_CHIKA

Prototype	Final

STM_BGM_CHIKA_FAST

Prototype	Final

Sky Panel#

The Sky Panel theme may be identical, but the volume is slightly lower compared to the final. These differences, yet again, affect the fast version.

STM_BGM_SKYPANEL

Prototype	Final

STM_BGM_SKYPANEL_FAST

Prototype	Final

Miniboss#

The demo version's miniboss theme is not an original composition, it's actually the boss theme for Peewee Piranha from Super Mario Galaxy 2! Interestingly, the fast version of the track in the prototype is just a sped-up version of the regular track, not a different composition like Super Mario Galaxy 2's is during said boss fight.

STM_BGM_BOSS_BUNBUN

Prototype	Final

STM_BGM_BOSS_BUNBUN_FASTs

Prototype	Final

Super Star#

The beginning of the Super Star theme has less bass, as well as some additional sound effects.

STM_BGM_MUTEKISTAR

Prototype	Final

Lose a Life#

Now with 25% more banjo, the last parts of the theme has no banjo in the final.

STM_BGM_JG_MISS

Prototype	Final

Unused

SsTestTitle and SsTestNoteObj#

This needs some investigation.
Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page.
Specifically:

Perhaps is this from the 3DS version of Ocarina of Time?

There are two song entries in the sound data file, both of which play the same Kakariko Village's theme from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time with the label SMF_07NA_BGM_TITLE.
These sequences may have been used for testing the note object, as the filename is named using the same naming scheme used by the note object songs in the final version of the game. Its noteworthy that SsTestNoteObj has a special behavior, which has a small condition check scattered through the whole sequence, if true, it will pause the music, and wait for the condition to become false.

StmDummy#

A copy of the Super Star theme, which can also be found in the final (albeit updated).

SS_EM#

A few test sounds, likely intended for testing Enemy Movement, given the "EM" in the name. These also exist in the final version.

SS_EM_TEST_VARIABLE#

A simple sound, perhaps indicating a finished test.

SS_EM_LV_TEST#

A simple song, whose two tones never stop. It is worth noting that this is used in the fallback/default group in SoundData/SoundDataBase/SoundEmitArea.byml and SoundEmitObj.byml, but it never plays under normal circumstances.

SS_EM_LV_TEST_VARIABLE#

A simple song, similar to above, but lower in pitch.

SeSyBeatTestBgm, SsNoteObjTest and SsNoteObjTestLong#

SeSyBeatTestBgm is split in parts, while SsNoteObjTest and SsNoteObjTestLong have a condition check, when true, will play the next section each time. Interestingly enough, when properly stitched together, they create a short remix of the Underground theme. Label is SMF_rp_Onpu_BGM01.
