Kazumi Totaka - Totaka's Song

Totaka's Song

"Kazumi Totaka's Song" is a short, 19-note tune hidden in almost every game he has worked on as a composer. It was first discovered on the title screen Mario Paint, which led many people to refer to it as the "Mario Paint song", and was thought to be the earliest instance of the song. It was later discovered in the Game Boy game X (released only in Japan), which predates Mario Paint by months. It has also since been discovered in many other games including Animal Crossing, Link's Awakening, and Luigi's Mansion. People are still actively seeking the song in the few games Totaka has worked on where it has yet to be discovered.
