While hovering over Yoshi or any of his outfit variations on the character select screen in any mode, there is a chance that he will hum Totaka's Song, a short melody written by veteran Nintendo composer and Yoshi voice actor Kazumi Totaka that has been inserted into most of the games he worked on. Although Totaka was not part of the music team for Mario Kart World, he is credited for reprising his role as Yoshi.

So Kazumi Totaka really is exceeding Charles Martinet with his character. It seemed so certain that Yoshi has a new VA thanks to how his voice sounded in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, which does not sound like we heard as far back as Yoshi's Story.
