If "Totaka's Song" is conjectural <small>is it?</small>, then wouldn't "[[nookipedia:K.K. Song|K.K. Song]]" from the ''Animal Crossing'' games be an official name? Considering [[nookipedia:K.K.

:Makes sense to me. Especially since the name "K.K." is also used in Link's Awakening (K.K. Sniper). [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 11:55, April 23, 2024 (EDT)
:No, because that name only appears in the Animal Crossing series, not in the Mario series, so you can change the name in other wikis, but not in this one.

:::Yeah, plus Animal Crossing: New Horizons IS newer than Luigi's Mansion 3DS. [[User:SONIC123CDMANIA+&#38;K(B&#38;ATSA)|SONIC123CDMANIA+&#38;K(B&#38;ATSA)]] ([[User talk:SONIC123CDMANIA+&#38;K(B&#38;ATSA)|talk]]) 10:44, May 15, 2024 (EDT)
:::This is a really rare case of taking official titles of songs from another Nintendo franchise for a title of a song article on the Super Mario Wiki. Have we ran into similar situations before? --[[User:EleCyon|EleCyon]] ([[User talk:EleCyon|talk]]) 22:52, July 4, 2024 (EDT)

:::::Hmm...I kind of agree about this, but we're a ''Super Mario'' wiki, not an ''Animal Crossing'' wiki. Should we be taking cues from other franchises? -- {{User:FanOfRosalina2007/sig}} 18:30, July 29, 2024 (EDT)

-::::::No, K.K. Song is not the name of this jingle because this jingle originated before Animal Crossing; the song itself is a reference to this jingle, not the other way around. Personally, I'd rename this to "Totaka's Jingle" rather than a song but search results for this jingle are consistently called "Totaka's Song" so I think this title is the best choice for this article even if it is technically conjecture. {{User:Ray Trace/sig}} 18:55, July 29, 2024 (EDT)

-What is the point of this conversation in mario paint it’s called Totaka's Song
-And in animal crossing it’s called K.K.s song it’s really that easy [[User:Waluigiboys|Waluigiboys]]
-:Can you specify where in ''Mario Paint'' it uses that name? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 20:46, February 24, 2025 (EST)
-Finding out right now give me a few months
-[[User:Waluigiboys|Waluigiboys]]
-You know, all this makes me wonder where the name "Totaka's song" even came from. If it was pure conjecture, who found out it was specifically written by Totaka and coined the term for it? (Honestly, [[Nintendo Music]] is a godsend for things like this, at least whenever the Mario Paint soundtrack comes out on the app and if it will include Totaka's Song as a separate track).<br>Alternatively, I guess we could call it "Totakeke" based on [https://youtu.be/g6bR9h_E3lk this Link's Awakening easter egg], for the time being. {{User:Arend/sig}} 13:31, February 26, 2025 (EST)
-:Hm, apparently in {{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Original Soundtrack}}, the version of the theme from the easter egg is officially called 名前入力隠しBGM「とたけけ」, or "Name input hidden BGM 'Totakeke'". [[User:Blinker|Blinker]] ([[User talk:Blinker|talk]]) 08:56, March 2, 2025 (EST)
-::Huh, I didn't know there was an official OST for ''Link's Awakening''. Hmmm, they're calling the other instance of Totaka's song in this game リチャードの別荘隠しBGM (or "Richard's Villa Hidden BGM"). Beyond it being called a "hidden BGM", it seems a bit less clear than the one from the file name themes (but that one also had like two other hidden themes). {{User:Arend/sig}} 14:57, March 2, 2025 (EST)
