| "'''Totaka's Song'''" is a short, nineteen-note theme composed by [[Kazumi Totaka]] that he has inserted in most games where he has been a composer or sound director. This theme is usually hidden and serves as an [[Easter egg]], able to be heard only after certain conditions are met. It was first included in ''{{wp|X (1992 video game)|X}}'' for the [[Game Boy]] in 1992, and its first appearance in a ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related title was in ''[[Mario Paint]]'', also in 1992. It has since been featured in several other games within and outside the ''Super Mario'' franchise, including the ''[[nookipedia:Animal Crossing (series)|Animal Crossing]]'' series as "[[nookipedia:K.K. Song|K.K. Song]]."

| |
| In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', there is a chance that one of the [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]s that appear in the audience of certain courses will be humming "Totaka's Song".

As the voice of [[Yoshi]], [[Kazumi Totaka]] provides this vocalization of his own composition.
