Totaka's Song is a little jingle
made famous by Mario Paint and
was originally referred to as
the "Mario Paint Song." It plays
at the beginning after the Title
Screen and has appeared in many
games since Mario Paint.
The song consists of a simple 19
beat loop, and it was composed
Kazumi Totaka, the one who did
the musical score for Mario
Paint. Totaka's Song has
supposedly appeared in every
game Kazumi has been a part of,
though a few games remain
suspect, since no version of the
song has been found in them yet.
The song actually was not first
featured in Mario Paint. It was
actually in X, a Japanese Game
Boy Color game released in 1992.
Mario Paint is where the song
became popular and was the first
American game where the song
could be heard. The song has
appeared in numerous games since
then, and it is speculated that
the song will appear in
near-future works that Totaka is
a part of, mainly Super Smash
Bros. Brawl. |
