The search for Totaka hidden melody continues

We all went ga-ga when we have learned about the music hidden in various Nintendo games for more than ten years now. To all who missed it, we are talking about the work of sound designer Kazumi Totaka. Apparently, Totaka has left his mark on every game that he has worked on by inserting a melody.

It has been settled that these aren't useful features but that do not make them any less amazing. Imagine, games older that you are containing this hidden melody. It is actually quite creepy, when you really think about it. But we are sure that is not the intention here. We feel like Totaka has left various "bread crumbs" and we are eager to find where those leads.

Anyway, here's the last two installment of the Totaka songs video. Aside from the already mentioned, video author Phil Bond pointed out that Totaka's name is actually in the Wii Sports manual credits. So let's see who finds the melody first. Game on!
