Totaka's Song
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, after 2 minutes and 30 seconds Totaka's song will play.
 * Virtual Boy Wario Land - On the end screen that appears after the credits, the track plays after a minute and 15 seconds
 * Mario Paint - The player can 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, Totaka's song will take over after 2 minutes and 10 seconds.
 * Luigi's Mansion - On the screen showing the controls of the Poltergust (this appears before training mode), the song plays after 3.5 minutes of idleness
 * Yoshi Touch & Go - In Marathon Mode, once the player reaches a mountainous area where clouds are being blown away, a 3 minute and 45 second pause leads to the song.
