Did Shake It have multiple composers?

CM30

Diamond City Mayor
Diamond City Leader
Cause a few credits list talk about this guy as responsible for some of the music in the game:

And Tomoya Tomita didn't post Stonecarving City, Glittertown or Plumber's Cave on YouTube.

It would also explain why there's such a massive difference between Stonecarving City (which Tomita may not have composed):



And Launchpad Labyrinth which he did:



Or Glittertown:



And Neon City:



Most other songs follow a similar theme, but these two levels have completely different feeling 'normal' and 'escape' music.

So yeah, thoughts?

It's somewhat possible to say the least, after all it's not the only time Video Games used multiple composers. (Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Super Smash Bros. come to mind.) But it's also possible that Nintendo wouldn't let him upload those tracks, because i've noticed that none of the remixes from Kirby's Epic Yarn (Greens Greens, Ripple Field Map, Butter Building, King Dedede's theme and Meta Knight's revenge.) and the main theme from Yoshi's Wooly World are listed. So it's either some agreement thing where he's allowed to upload the soundtracks but not the ones Nintendo actually uses. (Stonecarving has become a reoccurring theme for Wario. Glittertown is a remix of greenhorm ruins, and Plumbers Cave is a remix of the famous underground theme.) or it's a copyright thing.

I'm honestly, I'm not surprised of the fact, like TB100 said, I can name a few games that had more than one composers.
Although we need to keep in mind that, in fact, the same composer can have different sounding styles, making it feel like different composers worked on it, and that some soundtracks are all the same style, making you feel like only one person worked on it, but it was made by more people.

So, in the end, it's nice to see some tracks of the game were made by a different artist.

PS: The video for Neon City is wrong, @CM30. You used Launchpad Labyrinth twice.
