Overview
DADDY MULK -Groove remix- is a high-energy arcade rhythm game crossover track that originated from a collaboration between SEGA and TAITO. The song is a remix of DADDY MULK, the stage 1 and 6 BGM from Taito's 1987 arcade action game Ninja Warriors (忍者ウォーリアーズ). The original composition was created by OGR (Hisayoshi Ogura), one of Taito's most celebrated ZUNTATA composers, whose FM-synthesis work on the original is remembered for its powerful sampled drums, call-and-response shouts, and an iconic tsugaru shamisen solo that gave the track an unmistakable Japanese flavor.

Trivia
- DADDY MULK -Groove remix- was arranged by Hiroshi Kawaguchi (Hiro), a longtime SEGA sound creator and member of SEGA Sound Unit [H.], who has been a pillar of SEGA's music division since the 1980s.
- The remix features live-recorded tsugaru shamisen, giving the arrangement a warmth and intensity that pays homage to the original's signature instrument.
- The song was originally added to the arcade version of Groove Coaster before arriving in maimai GreeN on the same day (December 5, 2013) as part of a SEGA × TAITO collaboration.
- The collaboration was sparked by a joint SEGA and Taito sound team live stream called 'Game Music Night' in January of the previous year, where Hiro and Mitsuaki (Mitsuyo) performed the original DADDY MULK live.
- In maimai でらっくす, the in-game video was replaced with a static jacket image. The original video was restored in the Chinese version by October 2020 and in Japan at the launch of maimai でらっくす PLUS.

- Before maimai でらっくす PRiSM PLUS, the EXPERT chart was credited under the collaborative pseudonym '合作だよ' (literally 'it's a collaboration') before being officially attributed to ニャインとはっぴー.
- The song's in-game genre has shifted across versions: debuting as GAME in GreeN, changing to COLLABO, then GAME & VARIETY, briefly VARIETY in early でらっくす, and settling back to GAME & VARIETY.
- The DX collection title 'Re:DADDY MULK -Groove remix-' is awarded for achieving ALL PERFECT on the Re:MASTER chart.
