News - A Decades-Old Nintendo Easter Egg Has Surfaced In Mario Kart World
<p dir="ltr">Most Nintendo fans are familiar with Totaka's Song: a short, 19-note melody that composer Kazumi Totaka famously hides in every game he's ever worked on. K.K. Slider once crooned it to a villager in Animal Crossing, while Luigi's Mansion and Pikmin 2 both play the song if you sit on a certain menu screen for too long. Now, the melody has surfaced in Mario Kart World, which makes for the 25th confirmed instance of the melody being hidden in a Nintendo game.</p><p dir="ltr">As reported by <a href="https://www.videogameschronicle.com/news/nintendos-long-running-musical-easter-egg-has-been-found-in-mario-kart-world/">VGC</a>, a Reddit user by the name of "<a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/mariokart/comments/1la5xcm/totakas_song_in_mario_kart_world/">charizardtelephone</a>" found the song in the latest Mario Kart's character-select screen. By moving the cursor to Yoshi and leaving it there, the cute little dino starts humming the familiar tune.</p><p dir="ltr">This is not the first time the song has appeared in a Mario Kart game, nor is it the first time Yoshi is the one singing it--in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, if you move your kart close to a Yoshi watching the race, you'll hear Yoshi's voice singing the tune there as well. Fittingly, Totaka himself has provided the voice of Yoshi since Yoshi's Story in 1998.</p><a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/a-decades-old-nintendo-easter-egg-has-surfaced-in-mario-kart-world/1100-6532489/?ftag=CAD-01-10abi2f/">Continue Reading at GameSpot</a>
