Wow, I didn't know this at all. I knew it was in Mario Paint...but wow. And I've got SML2 and LOZ Link's Awakening, I should go look at these. And he says Totaka worked on Luigi's Mansion, maybe I could hunt around and see if I find anything.
By the way, about that part where he enters his name in the Japanese LOZ game...there's something similar in the American version. You just enter ZELDA for your name, all caps, but it doesn't play the same song. |

Sit around at Yoshi's Story's level select for a while.  |

Well, considering K.K. Slider's actual name is Totakeke, I'm guessing Nintendo has no problem with his little melody if K.K. Song is an homage to that. |

All I have to say is that this guy must be a pain to work with, always wanting some programmer to put his song in some random well hidden place. Unless of course he just does it himself, which is unlikely. |

Have you played Mario Paint for the SNES and clicked on the O on the title screen? Have you requested "K.K. Song" from K.K. Slider in Animal Crossing? Maybe you've heard this short tune in one of many other games, such as Link's Awakening or Yoshi's Story?
This short tune that appears in a multitude of games is the "trademark," of sorts, of Nintendo composer Kazumi Totaka. It's appeared in many games (the extent of which I was not aware of until now) and could possibly be in more games that he has had a hand in. Powet.tv gives a discussion on the topic, as well as examples of its ubiquitousness. I would like to ask if anyone has noticed this before, and if so if they've found it in any of Totaka's other contributions, which include Wave Race 64 and Luigi's Mansion. Discuss! 
Edit: after doing a bit more research, I learned that Totaka did not work on Wario Land for the Game Boy, despite it being stated as such in the video. |
