Update (10/3): Bumped to the top. Have a listen to Totaka’s Song in Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer below.

Original (9/26): Totaka’s Song has become a well-known Easter egg in Nintendo games. The 19 note tune, created by sound designer Kazumi Totaka, is often hidden in game’s like The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening, Luigi’s Mansion, and Mario Kart 8. It’s been going on for about 25 years.

Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is the latest Nintendo title to feature Totaka’s Song. When you use the DJ KK amiibo card and use the turntable for the first time, you should be able to hear the melody.
