1Kazumi Totaka's Song
Introduction
Hidden away in a number of Nintendo games is a strange song made up of a few simple notes.
This peculiar Easter Egg showed up most famously in Mario Paint, Yoshi's Story and Animal Crossing. For many years, it was known as the "Mario Paint song". But what was the reason behind it?
A mystery solvedā¦
Kazumi Totaka
NinDB discovered that that the guitar-playing dog K.K. Slider in Animal Crossing was based on the game's music composer Kazumi Totaka. From there, we realised he was also the composer on the other three games the song has been found in.
This set off an internet-wide Easter Egg hunt for even more appearances of the song in other games he was credited as the composer for. Games old and new were explored. Thanks to the hard work and curiosity of many contributors, the song has been found in nearly every game Kazumi Totaka has worked on.
The hunt continues for more appearances in older games and new ones. If you believe you have tracked down an appearance of the song, then contact NinDB!
