It recently struck me that if every new character were to receive their own stage, they would have to come with music for that stage (including variations for every existing character plus themselves), and variations for every existing stage.
To my knowledge, each stage has a static version, an idle version and a final round version. In addition to those, it has a regular and a final round version for each character. Here's a function that expresses the amount of stage variations (v) for a given amount of playable characters (c):
v = c ⋅ (3+2c)
Now when Goat (and any other potential future character) is added, the amount of new stage variations (including variations for a new stage) could be calculated like this:
Δv = c ⋅ (3+2c) - ((c-1) ⋅ (3+2(c-1)))
I've plotted v and Δv here:
According to this graph, there are currently 90 music variations, and when Goat gets added, it will bring 29 new variations. Each subsequent character will have to add 4 more variations than the previous character did.
So let's say at some point in the future TFH has 12 characters, each with their own stages, then there would have to be at least 324 different music variations.
I hope Stuart and Whitetail don't get burned out if they ever have to make so much music.
