Mama Luigi comes from the Super Mario World animated series produced by DiC Entertainment, which aired in 1991 as a follow-up to the Mario cartoons. In the episode of the same name, a separated Yoshi is cared for by Luigi and begins calling him Mama Luigi, a line that later became a long-running internet joke. Clips and isolated vocal tracks from the show circulated on YouTube and soundboards, and this short scream was separated as a reusable reaction effect alongside the main meme phrases.

Mama Luigi scream sound effect from the Super Mario World cartoon, a short panicked yell used in meme edits for over-the-top reactions and fails.
This is a brief, high-pitched scream taken from Luigi in the Super Mario World animated series, from the version where Yoshi nicknames him Mama Luigi. The yell is loud, strained and cartoonish, rising quickly before cutting off after about two seconds. It does not sound scary so much as panicked and silly, which is why editors use it as a punchline. Placed over a fall, a jump scare or a sudden mistake, it instantly turns the moment into slapstick and signals that the character is completely overwhelmed.
