The Incredible Search for Totaka's Song feat. Shesez [Wii Sports, Wii Music, Wave Race 64 & More]

Not related to any of the mentioned games but I think I have a theory on where the third "unused" version of Totaka's Song in Link's Awakening might be. When you play the Song of the Wind Fish in front of the Wind Fish Egg, different versions will play depending on which instruments you have (provided you at least have the instrument #3 because that activates the trigger). I already tried it while having instruments #8, #2 and #3 (Totaka's birthday) using glitches to sequence break but with no success. However there are still waaaaay more combinations to check and if anyone is willing to check all of them using cheats or a save editor, I'd be interested in seeing the result, even if nothing happens.

Rip

[@SeanGonzalezMDHEXT]

Well, I've ripped the brsar file and brstm files from Wii sports and totaka's song does not exist at all in Wii Sports.

[@tymime]

I'm surprised that nobody's datamined these games. Audio is always kept somewhere in a game.

[@Laenthor]

People definitely have, these "searches" come from desperate people who really want to have a "pirate treasure map" hunt. Most games are analysed from the inside a few days after their release, depending on popularity of course, so there's really never any doubt unless some of the games in there somehow managed to hide the audio for the songs. Grantend it seems like half the time they're sound effects and these are looked far less, it'd still be quicker to look through thousands of sfx rather than have no clue at all.

[@Raven_Redacted]

It's not that easy. Sometimes stuff is encrypted or hidden to throw off piracy and data miners

[@user-xe9dc6is1z]

The song is a really low bitrate, so it might be stored as code and not audio.

[@SonicFanChris4]

Totaka's song IS in Wii Music. You just have to perform the song yourself.

[@DrNo64]

I had a feeling it would be that

[@ArthurTRead]

the whole time they were discussing wii music I was thinking "has anyone tried that yet?"

[@L0rdOfThePies]

[@apocalypseofplush]

In what song do you perform it in? I tried playing it in Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to no avail. Are you trolling, or is this real?

[@papermario47]

I imagine it has but has the Shindou Edition of Wave Race 64 been thoroughly checked? The Japanese-only rumble pak version if you don't know what that is. I never played the game myself but it supposedly even has some new music mixes and sound effect changes so it could be in there.

[@LSuperSonicQ]

According to FryGuy64 the most common music rip in circulation is from the Shindou version so I'm guessing its been looked through just as much as the normal version. Always worth another look though!

[@ipadmcgee852]

Totaka’s song is hidden from the player. There’s no reason to think it was ever hidden from the game’s developers, or that Nintendo would “find out” and get mad. The thing is, it’s inclusion requires collaboration of a programmer, since it requires logic beyond a soundtracks files... playTotaka() if songLoopCount = 8, or whatever. It’s possible that for certain games, his desire to include the song was just politely rejected, for stylistic reasons. All the games mentioned are some of the least quirky, kinda mercenary games. Whereas the development team of Link’s Awakening or Animal Crossing would have the kind of lead programmer who would say “hell yeah, throw it in”, those games already overflow with ideas and quirkiness.

[@beardalaxy]

actually, ESPECIALLY with older games, the composers are programmers themselves. nowadays a lot of it comes down to the composers just making tracks and giving them to the devs, but before the CD era and even after that for quite a bit of games, the console would run code that played music from its internal library of sounds (or the cartridge's). it was a way to save space when it was super limited. the composers didn't just make the songs and then hand them off to some programmer to transcribe into code, they actually did it themselves. so someone like totaka could have DEFINITELY caused a part of a song to only be played after a certain amount of loops.

[@kenm2709]

Video game composers back then actually had to write their music in hex code, they have technical knowledge of what they are doing, and totaka was no exception, I'm sure it's different today but back then they really had to know how to put the music in the games themselves. As the famous David Wise explained it: "sound was created by typing HEX numbers into a text editor, assembling the code and waiting until it had executed until I could hear it," Those days must have been horrible, it would take hours just to make one little tune and actually hear what it sounds like.

[@egaag]

That 'Wii Sports' thing was nuts. Thanks so much for making this! I thought I already knew everything about Totakeke.

[@LSuperSonicQ]

Thanks! It's so fun unearthing new content from old topics.

[@SquidInkPizza]

Whether or not that was intentional or not, the concept of Totaka's Song being hidden inside of the main theme of Wii Sports is actually pretty cool.

[@Fryguy64]

Thanks for the shout out! It's been a while since I did much digging, but I really hope someone can find it in any of these games. Another possibility is that it WAS hidden in WR64 during development, but the game was completely transformed between its reveal in 1995 and release in 1996. It's entirely possible that its hiding place was cut from the game. Great video, and happy hunting everyone!

[@ogredanhibiki]

One thing that makes this especially tough is the precedent set by Mario Kart 64. In that game during a Grand Prix, if you wait in the results screen between races for the song to loop 64 times, a special mix of the song plays. It could very well be that Wave Race 64 has a similar method of finding Totaka's song.

[@phili4600]

I would have to disagree about it not being in Wii Music cause he wasn't the composer. Totaka didn't compose Mario Kart 8 but the song appears there.

Could someone not just simply check the games files to see if the song is in them, confirm whether or not the song actually is in the game or not?

[@cggcgg4612]

mattzocool Well it doesn’t exactly ruin the fun of the search, it confirms that the song is in the game but it wouldn’t tell you how to find it ingame (or maybe it does idk how this stuff works)

[@ocg-overwatchconsolegamepl2809]

Its just an idea but maybe they are using the in-game music engine and send it instructions, this way there is no music files and they save on space

[@xBunniesHeartx]

it depends on the game. a lot of games have automatic encryption that can be a total pain to get through when someone doesn't know what they're doing (and it's not easy), i'm not sure about nintendo's games and i know most of their games have already been searched through by people in the past. a lot of ps2 games, for example, are encrypted + compiled into only a few files. i have no idea if nintendo's consoles + games are the same, but it's possible, since it's done in the first place for A. saving storage B. piracy protection (people get through it easily, though). it's also likely that once the files are decompiled the song will not be labeled as such, making it a situation where one would have to look through every single audio file in the game. it is possible, but i think people aren't doing it because it's not as simple as just downloading an .iso or .rom and easily having access to the files, and maybe it is more fun to just keep searching for the mystery of it all

[@Cosmiichu]

@mattzocool but if someone could find it in the files and just say if it's there or not it would make people want to find it even more not the opposite

[@YoshiLightStar]

Most DS games are really easy to rip music for so maybe it could be found that way for that japanese food game

Honestly I could see Nintendo saying no more hiding the song and keeping it in at the same time. They are known for their fun quirks, but at the same time being very strict and stuffy.

[@Stathio]

I swear I found a bunch of the now discovered Totaka's Songs waaaay before they were officially documented as being discovered back when I was a kid- I used to leave games on screens that didn't require my action a bunch, since I got distracted a lot/liked taking breaks without actually stopping the game. I'm pretty damn sure I at least stumbled onto the Luigi's Mansion one on a second or third playthrough of the game, back at the controls screen before the tutorial starts properly way before it was documented- I just didn't know about it as being a thing back then! I remember it really freaking me out too- the Luigi's Mansion one was extra spooky sounding, and for it to appear suddenly out of nowhere like that when I wasn't paying attention was actually surprisingly scary! There's a good chance I might not have even had the internet at that point, or at least wasn't clued up enough to hang around the places where it was being discussed yet.

[@tommytomthms5]

I found the ones in gameboy wario side scroller games that way!

[@chibbysadventures5555]

Man idk why but 15:14 gave me chills. The thought that the theme may have been built on a motif from Totaka’s song? Incredible

[@LSuperSonicQ]

Yeah jaxcheese spent a lot of time figuring out that theory and it holds up really well!

[@ArcRay20]

with everybody hitting dead ends, im suddenly reminded of that thing from Mario Kart 64 where the music track loops 64 times and then the song changes. but as said in the DYKG video it not yet known if its intentional or a glitch. would be cool if someone could figure that out then maybe something similar could be checked for the other games. or maybe not.

[@bradye21playsIndieHorror]

Ha that wii sports is quite the stretch. Composers reuse similar harmonics and rhythms, like how any danny elfman or John williams soundtrack is recognizable

[@leonardomapache]

There's licencing issues to be considered. As long as Nintendo doesn't own the song, there could've been royalty fees involved. Even if Totaka himself doesn't want to profit for the song, the legal team at Nintendo could have still adviced him against putting it in future games. (?)

[@ami4705]

That theory that they told him to stop including it in the games would explain why Totaka's Song was removed from the Wii re-release of Pikmin 2.

[@LSuperSonicQ]

Ohh that's really interesting to consider! I've never thought about that before

I watched the pulp fiction episode about Totaka's song and I think theres an element of the theory that wasn't explored. the pitch of the ball hitting the racket changes and they do change, if one were to get a consistent sample and prove that the pitch changes are set and not randomized by the code, then you can prove that the sounds of the ball hitting the racket arn't the listener trying to hear what they want if the pitch changes the same way each time.

[@failmaster3863]

I have an idea for searching WaveRace 64, based on my very limited experience with assembly, machine code, and old computers, but it would probably take a loooong time (if it's even feasible): 1) dump the rom (since downloading is illegal, of course) 2) figure out/look up the address(es) of the N64's sound hardware 3) search for the address(es) in the code to find every place where sounds are made 4)run/analyze the code near each instance of the sound hardware being used. I remember, on my Apple IIc, jsr $fbdd (which, I believe, was 20 dd fb, and which I think had a $) made the speaker click, as $fbdd was the address of a subroutine that did that. Of course, the N64 doesn't have its own speaker, and addressing its sound hardware is surely much more complicated, but the idea is that you do the same as searching for $fbdd in the assembly code for the IIc, and looking at/running stuff near all the results. I imagine that doing this for the Wii titles is next to impossible, as it pretty much has to all be done manually. (If code could be written to do it automatically, whether for the Wii or the N64, I'm pretty sure it would take a familiarity with the game code that could only come from going through it all anyway.) Anyway, I've rambled long enough. Hopefully this is coherent - my phone only shows me four lines at a time, and scrolls away every time I manually move my cursor, haha.

Didn't Totaka's song get hidden in an Animal Crossing song that KK Slider plays, and then that song is in Wii Music? I remember that Wii Music seems to have pre-set notes for when you play out of sync, so maybe in that Animal crossing song you have to play Totaka's song yourself by finding where in the song the notes are hidden?

Hi again. "Blood And Snow": Vinyl Recording About The Wild Hunt It was around Christmas 2003 or 2004 when I first heard it. When I was 16 I used to travel up-town to this residential area in a lower-middle class inner-city area, where there was this house called "The Garage." I had 4 separate groups of friends who all went there. An art Teacher from a local University put lots of artists up in exchange for them cooking meals, paying small rent or making art. The place was always stocked with Art supplies. Some of my bullshit I made there is probably somewhere. They were fun random smelly people who made beautiful art all over town and produced strange music as well. I remember being the only person there who wasn't under the influence of something, which made this experience even more awkward, since everyone else just sat there stoned and said nothing while we listened. It must've been from the 60s or 70s, that was the quality of it. Cracks Pops and such. There's different kinds of music samples that come and go to paint a picture, and there's lots of voices and sound effects cleverly cut in. There was a narrator, he's British, he sounds old, grim, grizzled, strange. There's wind and wilderness noises, it's bizarre. The narrator explains that he's "The Wild Hunter" a weird Northern European fall to winter tradition. He describes ancient hunter gatherers out in the snow hunting and keeps repeating the phrase "Blood And Snow" creepily. You get to hear modern sounds of Christmas, and listen to the Narrator talk about them with disgust. He talks about how everyone has lost touch. He mentions Santa Clause and he says something to the effect of "You've tried to soften me, and fatten me, but I'm still here." he goes on to describe the Neo-Lithic roots of some of the Santa Clause-like Traditions of Traditional Yule. I briefly heard this played at a Pagan festival in my late 20s in some one's facebook feed, but their feed refreshed and they never found it again. I'd like to have a copy of this. I know it exists. I don't know where to look. I'm working on it. forums.lostmediawiki.com/thread/5307/blood-snow-vinyl-recording-wild www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/comments/ixik9c/tomt_vinyl_poetry_60s70s_blood_and_snow/

[@MetroAndroid]

Wow, crazy that you were talking about Shesez when you said a huge channel collab. I first subbed to him when he had a fraction of your current subs. Totaka's song is one of those mysteries that can still inspire a sense of child-like wonder in my gamer heart which has been hardened by years of researching technical gaming topics, speedruns, wikis and thinkpiece videos, poring through extracted files. Kenkou Ouen, Wave Race 64 (Shindou & Standard versions), Wii Sports, and Wii Music have all had their audio files ripped online (not mp3s, the original sound files, where they can be looped forever). I listened through a few of the menu tracks and didn't immediately notice anything outside of what you said, but I didn't check too thoroughly. It's still possible the song isn't one continuous audio file but a series of pitched sound effects altered in real time, which would be much more difficult to find. That GameTrailers video about Totaka's Song was so ridiculous back in the day, especially to musicians; unpitched percussive noises can be strung together to match any melody. That's _the_ reason why drums can match any rock song. There's even a term used to describe this phenomenon, but I haven't been able to find it since around the time the GT video was uploaded.

And I have just read the comments from the video and it turns out he said in the comments "Guys it's from silver gunner". I can't tell if it's a joke cuz the song feels cursed same goes with the tennis selects song.

[@nicolasd.madsen9317]

Yeah it's fake I'm pretty sure the bowling song proofs it kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWLMg35vYsyKotE

I knew the song from animal crossing and luigi's mansion, that was enough for me, never really got what the big deal was. I feel like they eventually told him to stop doing it which is why it's missing from a lot of the games he worked on.

[@chocolattemocha8512]

I wasn’t sure where to put this but I guess it involves lost media? Or I guess they’re not really lost anymore?? Anyways a few weeks or so ago, the complete, full version of Look-a-like from the Sonic OVA was discovered and as of today Scott Pilgrim vs the World: The Game resurfaced and going to be sold on the Nintendo Switch. Again, not sure if this qualifies as lost (or found I guess) media but I thought it was neat.

Perhaps one day when game files are easier to look in they will be found.

So uh i remember way back in like year 4 and we used to play the original just dance on the wii and there was this one time where someone left the wii title screen on for like an hour and i remember vividly hearing totaka's song and freaking out

[@syd1467]

Well do it again

[@LightningSpeedsters]

HOLY SHIT, THAT WAS TOTAKA'S SONG IN THE MAIN THEME IF WII SPORTS!

[@brainimpediment]

Yknow, a question of mine that iv'e had for a long time as someone who isn't very intelligent when it comes to coding and datamining is- Why don't you just dig through the files and see if it's there? I have this same question with hunting for super obscure secrets in games. If the song is in the game, it should be in the files, yes? I'm sure i'm totally wrong, though, because if this was the case then we'd have all this figured out and there wouldn't be a video on this in the first place.

[@garrettclark8826]

He hasn't stopped placing the totaka theme in games, cause it is in mario kart 8

TOPIC In the Battle for Dream Island Wiki, the names of the colors seems mysterious to me. They are found in the "infobox" of the character. I'm not sure who did it. Try checking the pages for Foldy, Basketball, Nickel, Eggy, and Bell. They have a color section with those mysterious names. This is not lost media nor a TV/film/video game mystery.

If you don't know what BFDI is, it is a series made in 2009 by Michael Huang and Cary Huang. There are four seasons of the show. If you want to study BFDI, start with BFDI 1a and 1b, BFDIA 1, IDFB 1 and BFB 1.

[@ProwersEdits]

The theory that Nintendo asked him to stop doing it is extremely likely considering the fact that it’s Nintendo. I say this as a smash player

[@otaking3582]

Hasn't anyone tried combing through the files of these games to see if the song is actually in there?

[@prototype0z19athesaturdaym9]

Remember the wii Ah Good Times

[@nascardonuts]

IT WAS SHESEZ!! :)

[@OK-li5mp]

My grandma still has her original Dr Mario game and the original console

[@Emma_The_H0ppin_H00ligan]

Lol i remember when i first got into animal crossing and when i first heard the new leaf town hall theme i thought it was totaka's song

[@awlomthesheepermen]

If we had the rom for some of these games someone could write a script that exstracts all Audio,music, or midi type files and just look through those instead of just blindly trying to look for something you don’t even know if it exists

[@mds_main]

I think we should just ask to the man himself for these last games

[@creativeusername7951]

Anyone else think Totaka's song sounds like the Tintin theme with a bunch of notes missing?

[@PommeVanille]

Is totaka song in Yoshi Crafted world? Anyway thank you for your work on this video, love it

[@snonc5446]

I don't think so

[@v1nag3r]

Hi pomme vanille

[@v1nag3r]

you can speak english

[@philatio1744]

What a crossover, you definitely are expanding your *boundaries*

[@ash_aiden]

YESSS

[@notoriouswhitemoth]

Frankly, I think totaka's fans are probably a lot more fixated on his weird little motif than he is

[@djangomarkov7948]

6:34 Default cameo

[@tempest6027]

Maybe try exiting the 4th place screen as fast as possible instead of waiting on it? Just a shot in the dark

[@gremlingaming9139]

I think Nintendo told him to stop putting it in games, and then once they realized how much people cared about it they let him add it to games again.
