Kazumi Totaka is a music composer for Nintendo, and mainly works with Nintendo R & D 1. He has done the musical score to many games, including Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Paint, Super Mario World, and many more. He also very popular for doing the music to The Legend of Zelda series, and the Animal Crossing series. He also does the voices of Yoshi and Professor E. Gadd.
There is an interesting piece of music, that Totaka has sneaked into almost all of the games he's composed. Although it is not widely known, players can listen to a secret track of Totaka's, after meeting certain conditions. The Mario games it has been spotted in are:
- Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins - On the "Game Over " screen, wait about a minute, and Totaka's song will play.
- Virtual Boy Wario Land - On the end screen that appears after the credits, wait about a minute and a half, and the track should play.
- Mario Paint - Touch the O in the word MARIO, when on the main screen. After that, the O will explode like a bomb, and Totaka's song will play.
- Yoshi's Story - On the Trial Mode screen, wait for the normal track to play a few times, and then Totaka's song will take over.
- Luigi's Mansion - On the screen showing the controls of the poltergust (this appears before training mode), wait about 3 minutes and a half, and Totaka's song will play.
- Yoshi Touch & Go - In Marathon Mode, once you reach a mountainous area where clouds are being blown away, pause and wait for a little, and Totaka's song should play.
