He is best known for working on the Mortal Kombat fighting game series ( in particular his catchphrase `` Toasty ! '' which would sound at impressive maneuvers ) . He has also played bass in the band Cheer - Accident .

He is the youngest of five children . He is credited in the Mortal Kombat series as Dan `` Toasty '' Forden , and is known for an Easter egg that first appeared in Mortal Kombat II , where Forden 's head would appear after a chain of combos in the bottom - right corner of the screen and shout `` Toasty ! '' in a falsetto when an uppercut was performed . In MKII you will hear him say Toasty ! after Scorpion 's fatality was done . In MK9 he will also appear saying Toasty after a long combo and an uppercut . In Mortal Kombat 3 , freezing an opponent in `` danger mode '' with Sub-Zero would make him appear and shout `` Frosty ! '' . He still appeared sometimes saying `` Toasty ! '' though , in the very same conditions . Also , in Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 , Dan Forden would appear after a Stage Fatality in Scorpion 's Lair saying `` Crispy ! '' if both players ' `` High Punch '' button was held down after executing the Fatality Input . If , instead , the both `` Run '' button were held down , then Shao Kahn would say `` Crispy ! '' . Along with that , in Mortal Kombat 4 , if the player executed Scorpion 's fatality , Forden would say `` Toasty 3D ! '' . This was to emphasize the fact that this was the first Mortal Kombat game that used three - dimensional graphics . Forden also included the `` toasty '' quote in the pinball machine Medieval Madness . When the player hits the right ramp , one of the quotes that is played is `` toasty ! '' . This Easter egg is tributed in the dance simulator StepMania : whenever a player gets 250 consecutive Perfects or better ( Excellents or better in the 4.0 CVS version ) , a `` toasty '' appears . The PopCap game Peggle also features a tribute , as does the Aerosmith - themed rail shooter Revolution X , where singer Steven Tyler shouts `` Toasty ! '' in reaction to explosions . Dan is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music in the TIMARA program ( or Technology in Music and Related Arts ) . He graduated in 1985 from the Conservatory and has since produced sounds for many Williams Electronics games . Forden 's musical style , particularly for the Mortal Kombat series , is often a mixture of synthetic and organic sounds . A typical composition usually incorporates ethnic drumming with synthetic basses , synthetic leads and / or pads , and sometimes exotic instruments . His rhythms are usually very driving and his melodies can become quite complex . Several songs that he composed for the Mortal Kombat 3 soundtrack were used in the precursor to South Park , Jesus vs. Santa .
