Totaka's Song

[Kawaii Ryûkishi]

Anyone who's ever played Mario Paint should recall the bizarre melody that plays when you click on the "O" on the game's title screen. What gamers are gradually discovering, though, is that the game's sound designer, Kazumi Totaka, has been hiding that same tune deep in a number of games for over a decade now.

It's actually kind of disturbing that he was able to do this for so long without the public becoming wise to it, and since there are still many games on his résumé in which the song has yet to be uncovered, the search continues even <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBO8EZSNH3A">now.

I recognized that song when I played Animal Crossing.

[Bahamut2000X]

Wow that is insane. Yet so oddly genius at the same time.

[Shoeberto]

That's really cool. Surprising, too. He's kept it up for an awful long time for it to just now be getting found out.

[Tidus Andronicus]

Almost every game that KK took part in, contains that song hidden somewhere.

There is even a rumor that the song might be in Wii Sports! lol but I can't find it. lol its probably well hidden XD

[Zeromus_X]

This is pretty trippy.

I need to find my Mario Paint mouse again.

That is, to date, the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen/heard concerning video games.

[Araciel]

[Markus. D]

thats so cooL~


how come when you type ZELDA into my gamepay colour version of Zelda. it flashes. but no jingle

[Necronopticous]

Welcome to my new ringtone.

[Nominus Experse]

That is most interesting. I wonder if any other video game contributors have done the same thing, and simply have not yet been "found out"?

[Dreddz]

That is, to date, the absolute coolest thing I have ever seen/heard concerning video games. :eek:

Pfft, not as cool as the conspiracy that Michael Jackson composed Sonic 3's sound track. This is still pretty cool though...

[KentaRawr!]

I feel quite obliged to play this song to the scarecrow.

[Larahl]

I heard about it like a couple of months ago, but unfortunately I never heard the song myself in a game.

I feel quite obliged to play this song to the scarecrow.

Now, that's an idea.
