Totaka's song
Within most games that Totaka has composed for is a short tune known as "Totaka's Song", referred to as the "Mario Paint" song prior to the discovery of the K.K. song in Animal Crossing and the song's first appearance in X. The song is usually featured as an easter egg that can be heard by waiting in certain parts of a game.
