Totaka's Song
The infamous "Kazumi Totaka's Song" is a short, looping song, earliest cited feature in X, that has been heard in almost every game he has worked on. Such games include Mario Paint, Animal Crossing, Animal Crossing: Wild World, Link's Awakening, Yoshi Touch & Go, Super Mario Land 2, Virtual Boy Wario Land, Pikmin 2, Luigi's Mansion, and Yoshi's Story.
Other games which Kazumi Totaka has worked on, but have unconfirmed appearances of the song, include Wii Sports, Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3, and Wave Race 64.
Animal Crossing series
To hear the song in Animal Crossing or Animal Crossing: Wild World, enter the request "K.K. Song" from K.K. Slider between 8pm and midnight on Saturday nights. You will also receive an aircheck to listen to in your house (requesting is not required in Wild World). K.K. Slider has the real name of Totakeke, which is Totaka's name shortened in Japanese. Totakeke is said to be an animal version caricature of Totaka. This name could be derived from how Totaka's name is said in Japanese (the last name coming first), Totaka Kazumi.

I think that hidden Easter eggs inside music tracks are really nifty, so here’s a couple more that I found:
-The music that plays in the 8th and final special world in Super Mario 3D Land is a remix of the Mario Drawing Theme from Flipnote Studios, previously used to celebrate the series’ 25th anniversary. You can also here it on the Game & Watch: Super Mario Bros., by holding down the A Button on the digital clock interface
-Mipha, Sidon, and King Dorephan’s names all come from musical notes, which is referenced really subtlety in Mipha’s leitmotif, whose first few notes are that of a Mi and a Fa
-Also in Breath of the Wild, in the Sanctum where you battle Calamity Ganon, you can find a large ornery of the Triforce hanging above the door, with a circle of music notes surrounding it. If you were to play the music notes out loud, it’ll reveal that these are actually the notes to Zelda’s Lullaby
-The Formidable Oak from Pikmin 3 has two music tracks that play in it when the Plasm Wraith’s not active, one for when it’s normal outside and one for when it’s raining. When it’s raining, if you listen closely to the music, you can make out a faint rendition of The Final Trail’s theme from the first Pikmin. In Pikmin 3 Deluxe, the music that plays during the final battle against the two Shaggy Long Legs at the end of Olimar’s mode is a clever remix of Pikmin 1’s title theme
-Supposedly, the music that plays during N’s Farewell in Pokémon Black and White contains a small remix of the Love theme from Mother 3
-In Kirby Fighters 2, the theme that plays when battling Dedede and Meta Knight during Chapter 4 contains a small remix of the arena theme from Kirby Super Star/Triple Deluxe played on an erhu around midway through the track

I absolutely love that they included the Mario Maker airship theme into the beginning of Mario Odyssey. I remember first getting the switch and Mario Odyssey along with it, and hearing that was the coolest thing!!

Interesting about the airship theme. Kondo based his new tune on the Mario 3 airship, but the Odyssey tune is definitely based on new version. Clever way of referencing the classic airship without going back to the obvious Mario 3 well again.

No idea what you’re talking about since I’ve never played a Mario game before but this is big brain stuff and I can sense that you are right

@ruediix with the drum beat? yeah that's a good one!

@Plasmat1c Just like the numberous times they've referenced the Super Mario Bros 3 underground theme version.
I LOVE that one!
