Mario Kart 8 Yoshi Racers

Sound designer Kazumi Totaka has been sneaking a simple 19 note melody in many of Nintendo’s biggest hits, and inquisitive fans have finally uncovered his latest opus hidden away in Mario Kart 8. Any game this man works on gets Totaka’s Song, and he’s been a very busy man. Mario Paint, Link’s Awakening, Animal Crossing, and Luigi’s Mansion are just a few games containing this secret song. Keep scrolling to find yet another addition to this long-running Easter egg.

Totaka’s Secret Song Easter Egg

Totaka’s Song is a special melody created by Nintendo sound designer Kazumi Totaka. Usually it’s hidden — in Mario Paint, click on the letter “O’ on the title screen to hear it. Sometimes it’s just an in-joke, like a special NPC in Animal Crossing based on Totaka that plays his signature song on command.

Listen to the song in Mario Paint, along with tons of others in this awesome compilation video.

See what Totaka’s song sounds like in an array of other games with this musical compilation created by Griffinbound on Youtube.

The song appears in Mario Kart 8 anywhere you’ll find Yoshi spectators. These randomly colored fans usually just bark random grunts, but every so often they’ll hum Totaka’s Song.

Turn down the volume on the music if you want to hear them, though. How did fans figure this out? Easy — Totaka isn’t just a sound designer. He’s also the voice of Yoshi.

Find Yoshi spectators on Sweet Sweet Island, Donut Plains 3, and the Yoshi Circuit (DLC1).
